Extracellular superoxide dismutase(EcSOD)protects tissues from oxidative stress,and thus is considered as a therapeutic agent for many diseases such as atheroscle-rosis,hypertension,and cancer.However,cost-effective production of bioactive recombi-nant human EcSOD(rhEcSOD)remains a challenge.Herein,we developed an efficient strategy for producing active rhEcSOD by transgenic silkworms.rhEcSOD was success-fully synthesized as homodimers and homotetramers in the middle silk gland and spun into the cocoons with a concentration of 9.48±0.21 mg/g.Purification of rhEcSOD from the cocoons could be conveniently achieved with a purity of 99.50%and a yield of 3.5±0.5 mg/g.Additionally,N-glycosylation at the only site of N89 in rhEcSOD with 10 types were identified.The purified rhEcSOD gained the potent enzymatic activity of 4 162±293 U/mg after Cu/Zn ions incorporation.More importantly,rhEcSOD was ca-pable of penetrating and accumulating in the nuclei of cells to maintain cell morphology and attenuate ultraviolet B-induced cell apoptosis by eliminating reactive oxygen species and inhibiting the C-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway.These results demonstrated that the transgenic silkworm could successfully produce rhEcSOD with enzymatic and biological activities for biomedical applications.
