In addition to synthesis and re- Macrophage lease of this extracellular protein via the secretory pathway, several studies have shown that the protein also Internalization localizes to intracellular compartments in neutrophils and macrophages. Here we show that human macrophages Secretion release SOD3 from an intracellular compartment within 30 min following LPS stimulation. This release acutely Extracellular redox regulation increases the level of SOD3 on the cell surface as well as in the extracellular environment. Generation of the LRP1 intracellular compartment in macrophages is supported by endocytosis of extracellular SOD3 via the LDL re- ceptor-related protein 1 (LRP1). Using bone marrow-derived macrophages established from wild-type and − − SOD3 / mice, we further show that the pro-inflammatory profile established in LPS-stimulated cells is altered in the absence of SOD3, suggesting that the active release of this protein affects the inflammatory response. The internalization and acute release from stimulated macrophages indicates that SOD3 not only functions as a passive antioxidant in the extracellular environment, but also plays an active role in modulating redox signaling to support biological responses. 1.

These elements by inflammatory cell infiltration and presented a significant increase in are likely to explain the finding that SOD3 protein can be detected in mortality [10]. This study suggests that SOD3 not only serves to protect only a limited amount of cell types including pulmonary fibroblasts and biomolecules against superoxide-induced damage under conditions of epithelial cells as well as vascular smooth muscle cells [26–30].

This nomenclature is increasingly used in the literature. Moreover, the latter notion mix the type of associated metals (Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD) with spatial localization (EC-SOD), which makes this nomenclature inconsistent. In addition, although SOD3 is processed through the secretory pathway, our data and data by others show that the distribution of SOD3 may be more complex and not only associated with the extracellular space. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.redox.2019.101268 Received 20 May 2019; Received in revised form 24 June 2019; Accepted 1 July 2019 Available online 02 July 2019 2213-2317/ © 2019 The Authors.
