Decreased intracellular SOD protein levels and activity have been related with malignancy in the past. To investigate their relevance in the carcinogenetic process in the colon, we determined quantitatively CuZn-SOD and Mn-SOD levels and total SOD activity by histochemical means in human normal colorectal mucosa, adenomas, and carcinomas. Protein levels and activity were significantly decreased in carcinomas. CuZn-SOD protein levels, but not Mn-SOD levels or total SOD activity were related with differentiation grade and to a lesser extent with Dukes stage. Moderately differentiated carcinomas and Dukes stage A carcinomas showed lowest levels. Some carcinomas expressed elevated levels of CuZn-SOD and this was an indication of poor survival. It is concluded that decreased SOD expression is not a prognostic marker and seems to be a secondary phenomenon rather than directly linked with the carcinogenetic process.
