Cytosolic superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was found to increase with time during HeLa cell culture, this increase being due exclusively to Mn-SOD. Infection of the cells by Chlamydia trachomatis resulted in a further enhancement of this Mn-SOD activity, whereas cytosolic catalase activity was decreased in these infected cells. Superoxide (O-2.) being able to induce Mn-SOD and to inhibit catalase, these data suggest that Chlamydia trachomatis infection could be responsible for an increase in O-2. production by the infected HeLa cells.
