Abstract

Oxidative damage caused by the ferryl hemoglobin is one of the major clinical adverse reactions of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), while the production of reactive oxygen species in a pathological state can oxidize hemoglobin (HbFe2+ ) to ferryl Hb, which can then enter the pseudoperoxidase cycle, making hemoglobin highly toxic. In this study, we found that ferrous hemoglobin and polymerized porcine hemoglobin (one of the HBOCs) have the peroxidase activity different from the pseudoperoxidase activity of ferric hemoglobin. Ferrous hemoglobin can catalyze the reaction of tyrosine (Tyr) with hydrogen peroxide. In addition, the results also indicated that ferrous hemoglobin and pPolyHb have a strong inhibitory effect on the pseudoperoxidase activity of ferric hemoglobin. Therefore, hydrogen peroxide was consumed in a large amount, which greatly prevented hemoglobin from becoming oxidized and entering the pseudoperoxidase cycle, thus inhibiting ferryl Hb toxicity. We further cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells and monitored cell morphology, viability, cell cycle, apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and malondialdehydes (MDAs) formation when incubated with H2 O2 , Tyr, and HbFe2+ . HbFe2+ and pPolyH...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
