Abstract
Hemolysis releases hemoglobin (Hb), a prooxidant, into circulation. While the heme iron is a nutrient for the invading pathogens, it releases ROS, which is both microbicidal and cytotoxic, making it a double-edged sword. Previously, we found a two-pass detoxification mechanism involving the endocytosis of Hb into monocytes in collaboration with vascular endothelial cells to overcome oxidative damage. This prompted us to examine the effect of Hb priming on host cell viability and intracellular bacterial clearance during a hemolytic infection. Here, we demonstrate that Hb-primed macrophages harbor a higher intracellular bacterial load but with suppressed apoptosis. p-ERK and p-p38 MAPK were significantly downregulated, with concomitant impairment of Bax and downstream caspases. The Hb-primed cells harboring intracellular bacteria upregulated anti-inflammatory IL-10 and downregulated proinflammatory TNF-α, which further enhanced the infectivity of the neighboring cells. Our findings suggest that opportunistic intracellular pathogens exploit the Hb-scavenging machinery of the host to silently persist within the circulating phagocytes by suppressing apoptosis while escaping immune surveillance.

Abstract
We described a spectrophotometric method for measuring hemoglobin peroxidase activity in human plasma using o-dianisidine (o-DA) as the substrate and myeloperoxidase specific inhibitor 4-aminobensoic acid hydrazide (ruling out the probable contribution of myeloperoxidase to the measured parameter value). The optimal conditions (pH 5.5; 2 mM H2O2) have been determined, at which hemoglobin makes the main contribution to plasma oxidation of o-DA. A significant positive correlation between hemoglobin peroxidase activity measured by the spectrophotometric method and hemoglobin level measured by the pyridine hemochromogenic method has been detected (r=0.624; p<0.01) in plasma specimens from 16 donors. Plasma hemoglobin peroxidase activities were measured in healthy individuals and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease. High plasma hemoglobin peroxidase activities in both groups of patients indicates disorders in the mechanisms of clearance of hemoglobin and its highly reactive derivatives and can serve as specific markers of diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Initially known as multiple system organ failure, the term multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) was first described in the 1960s in adults with bleeding, respiratory failure, and sepsis. It is defined as "the development of potentially reversible physiologic derangement involving two or more organ systems not involved in the disorder that resulted in ICU admission, and arising in the wake of a potentially life threatening physiologic insult."(3) There are many risk factors predisposing to MODS; however, the most common risk factors are shock due to any cause, sepsis, and tissue hypoperfusion. A dysregulated immune response, or immuneparalysis, in which the homeostasis between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory reaction is lost is thought to be key in the development of MODS. The clinical course and evolution of MODS is dependent on a combination of acquired and genetic factors. There are several nonspecific therapies for the prevention and resolution of MODS, mostly care is supportive. Mortality from MODS in septic pediatric patients varies between 11% and 54%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enzymatic activity measurements of the highly oxidative enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), which is implicated in many diseases, are widely used in the literature, but often suffer from nonspecificity and lack of uniformity. Thus, validation and standardization are needed to establish a robust method that is highly specific, sensitive, and reproducible for assaying MPO activity in biological samples. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We found conflicting results between in vivo molecular MR imaging of MPO, which measures extracellular activity, and commonly used in vitro MPO activity assays. Thus, we established and validated a protocol to obtain extra- and intracellular MPO from murine organs. To validate the MPO activity assays, three different classes of MPO activity assays were used in spike and recovery experiments. However, these assay methods yielded inconsistent results, likely because of interfering substances and other peroxidases present in tissue extracts. To circumvent this, we first captured MPO with an antibody. The MPO activity of the resultant samples was assessed by ADHP and validated against samples from MPO-knockout mice in murine disease models of multiple sclerosis, steatohepatitis, and myocardial infarction. We found the measurements performed using this protocol to be highly specific and reproducible, and when performed using ADHP, to be highly sensitive over a broad range. In addition, we found that intracellular MPO activity correlated well with tissue neutrophil content, and can be used as a marker to assess neutrophil infiltration in the tissue. CONCLUSION We validated a highly specific and sensitive assay protocol that should be used as the standard method for all MPO activity assays in biological samples. We also established a method to obtain extra- and intracellular MPO from murine organs. Extracellular MPO activity gives an estimate of the oxidative stress in inflammatory diseases, while intracellular MPO activity correlates well with tissue neutrophil content. A detailed step-by-step protocol is provided.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Haptoglobin (Hp) is an abundant plasma protein controlling the fate of hemoglobin (Hb) released from red blood cells after intravascular hemolysis. The complex formed between Hp and Hb is extraordinary strong, and once formed, this protein-protein association can be considered irreversible. RECENT ADVANCES A model of the Hp-Hb complex has been generated and the first steps toward understanding the mechanism behind the shielding effects of Hp have been taken. The clinical potential of the complex for modulating inflammatory reactions and for functioning as an Hb-based oxygen carrier have been described. CRITICAL ISSUES The three-dimensional structure of the Hp-Hb complex is unknown. Moreover, Hp is not a homogeneous protein. There are two common alleles at the Hp genetic locus denoted Hp1 and Hp2, which when analyzed on the protein levels result in differences between their physiological behavior, particularly in their shielding against Hb-driven oxidative stress. Additional cysteine residues on the α-subunit allow Hp2 to form a variety of native multimers, which influence the biophysical and biological properties of Hp. The multimeric conformations, in turn, also modulate the glycosylation patterns of Hp by steric hindrance. FUTURE DIRECTIONS A detailed analysis of the influence of Hp glycosylation will be instrumental to generate a deeper understanding of its biological function. Several pathological conditions also modify the glycan compositions allowing Hp to be potentially used as a marker protein for these disorders.

Abstract
AIM Hemoglobin (Hb) becomes toxic when released from the erythrocyte. The acute phase protein haptoglobin (Hp) binds avidly to Hb and decreases oxidative damage to Hb itself and to the surrounding proteins and lipids. However, the molecular mechanism underpinning Hp protection is to date unclear. The aim of this study was to use electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, stopped flow optical spectrophotometry, and site-directed mutagenesis to explore the mechanism and specifically the role of specific tyrosine residues in this protection. RESULTS Following peroxide challenge Hb produces reactive oxidative intermediates in the form of ferryl heme and globin free radicals. Hp binding increases the steady state level of ferryl formation during Hb-catalyzed lipid peroxidation, while at the same time dramatically inhibiting the overall reaction rate. This enhanced ferryl stability is also seen in the absence of lipids and in the presence of external reductants. Hp binding is not accompanied by a decrease in the pK of ferryl protonation; the protonated ferryl species still forms, but is intrinsically less reactive. Ferryl stabilization is accompanied by a significant increase in the concentration of the peroxide-induced tyrosine free radical. EPR spectral parameters and mutagenesis studies suggest that this radical is located on tyrosine 145, the penultimate C-terminal amino acid on the beta Hb subunit. INNOVATION Hp binding decreases both the ferryl iron and free radical reactivity of Hb. CONCLUSION Hp protects against Hb-induced damage in the vasculature, not by preventing the primary reactivity of heme oxidants, but by rendering the resultant protein products less damaging.

Abstract
Numerous disease states are associated with hemolysis or hemorrhage. Because red cells in the extravascular space tend to lyse quickly, hemoglobin (Hb) is released and is prone to autoxidation producing MetHb. Inorganic and organic peroxides may convert Hb and MetHb to higher oxidation states such as ferrylHb. FerrylHb is not a single chemical entity but is a mixture of globin- and porphyrin-centered radicals and covalently cross-linked Hb multimers. Oxidized Hb species are potent prooxidants caused mainly by heme release from oxidized Hb. Moreover, ferrylHb is a strong proinflammatory agonist that targets vascular endothelial cells. This proinflammatory effect of ferrylHb requires actin polymerization, is characterized by the upregulation of proinflammatory adhesion molecules, and is independent of heme release. Deleterious effects of native Hb are controlled by haptoglobin (Hp) that binds cell-free Hb avidly and facilitates its removal from circulation through the CD163 macrophage scavenger receptor-mediated endocytosis. Under circumstances of Hb oxidation, Hp can prevent heme release from MetHb, but unfortunately the Hp-mediated removal of Hb is severely compromised when Hb is structurally altered such as in ferrylHb allowing deleterious downstream reactions to occur even in the presence of Hp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disease caused by an individual inheriting an allele for sickle cell hemoglobin from both parents and is associated with unusually large numbers of immature blood cells, containing many long, thin, crescent-shaped erythrocytes. It is a disease prevalent throughout many populations. The use of medicinal plants and nutrition in managing SCD is gaining increasing attention. METHODS The antisickling effects of Solenostemon monostachyus (SolMon), Carica papaya seed oil (Cari-oil) and Ipomoea involucrata (Ipocrata) in male (HbSSM) and female (HbSSF) human sickle cell blood was examined in vitro and compared with controls, or cells treated with glutathione or an antisickling plant (Vernonia amygdalina; VerMyg). RESULTS Levels of sickle blood cells were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) in all the plant-extract treated SCD patients' blood compared with that of untreated SCD patients. RBCs in SolMon, Ipocrata, and Cari-oil treated samples were significantly higher (P < 0.05) compared with VerMyg-treated samples. The Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) ratio was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) in all plant extract-treated HbSSM samples compared with controls. Hemoglobin concentration was significantly increased (P < 0.05) by SolMon treatment in HbSSF compared with VerMyg. Sickle cell polymerization inhibition exhibited by SolMon was significantly higher (P < 0.05) compared with that of VerMyg in HbSSF blood. Sickle cell polymerization inhibition in SolMon and Ipocrata were significantly higher (P < 0.05) compared with VerMyg in HbSSM blood. All plant extracts significantly reduced (P < 0.05) lactate dehydrogenase activity in both HbSSM and HbSSF-treated blood. Catalase activity was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in HbSSF blood treated with Ipocrata compared with glutathione. Cari-oil treated HbSSM and HbSSF blood had significantly increased (P < 0.05) peroxidase activity compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS Methanolic extracts from S. monostachyus, C. papaya seed oil and I. involucrata exhibited particular antisickling properties coupled with the potential to reduce stress in sickle cell patients. Each plant individually or in combination may be useful for the management of sickle cell disease.

Abstract
We compared oxygenation and anaerobic oxidation reactions of a purified complex of human hemoglobin (Hb) and haptoglobin (Hb-Hp) to those of uncomplexed Hb. Under equilibrium conditions, Hb-Hp exhibited active-site heterogeneity and noncooperative, high-affinity O(2) binding (n(1/2)=0.88, P(1/2)=0.33 mm Hg in inorganic phosphate buffer at pH 7 and 25 °C). Rapid-reaction kinetics also exhibited active-site heterogeneity, with a slower process of O(2) dissociation and a faster process of CO binding relative to uncomplexed Hb. Deoxygenated Hb-Hp had significantly reduced absorption at the λ(max) of 430 nm relative to uncomplexed Hb, as occurs for isolated Hb subunits that lack T-state stabilization. Under comparable experimental conditions, the redox potential (E(1/2)) of Hb-Hp was found to be +54 mV, showing that it is much more easily oxidized than uncomplexed Hb (E(1/2)=+125 mV). The Nernst plots for Hb-Hp oxidation showed no cooperativity and slopes less than unity indicated active-site heterogeneity. The redox potential of Hb-Hp was unchanged by pH over the range of 6.4-8.3. Exposure of Hb-Hp to excess hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) produced ferryl heme, which was found to be more kinetically inert in the Hb-Hp complex than in uncomplexed Hb. The negative shift in the redox potential of Hb-Hp and its stabilized ferryl state may be central elements in the protection against Hb-induced oxidative damage afforded by formation of the Hb-Hp complex.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the major oxygen (O(2))-carrying system of the blood but has many potentially dangerous side effects due to oxidation and reduction reactions of the heme-bound iron and O(2). Extracellular Hb, resulting from hemolysis or exogenous infusion, is shown to be an important pathogenic factor in a growing number of diseases. This review briefly outlines the oxidative/reductive toxic reactions of Hb and its metabolites. It also describes physiological protection mechanisms that have evolved against extracellular Hb, with a focus on the most recently discovered: the heme- and radical-binding protein α(1)-microglobulin (A1M). This protein is found in all vertebrates, including man, and operates by rapidly clearing cytosols and extravascular fluids of heme groups and free radicals released from Hb. Five groups of pathological conditions with high concentrations of extracellular Hb are described: hemolytic anemias and transfusion reactions, the pregnancy complication pre-eclampsia, cerebral intraventricular hemorrhage of premature infants, chronic inflammatory leg ulcers, and infusion of Hb-based O(2) carriers as blood substitutes. Finally, possible treatments of these conditions are discussed, giving a special attention to the described protective effects of A1M.

Abstract
Perspectives for the use of carbon nanotubes in biomedical applications depend largely on their ability to degrade in the body into products that can be easily cleared out. Carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes (c-SWCNTs) were shown to be degraded by oxidants generated by peroxidases in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. In the present study we demonstrated that conjugation of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to c-SWCNTs does not interfere with their degradation by peroxidase/H(2)O(2) system or by hypochlorite. Comparison of different heme-containing proteins for their ability to degrade PEG-SWCNTs has led us to conclude that the myeloperoxidase (MPO) product hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the major oxidant that may be responsible for biodegradation of PEG-SWCNTs in vivo. MPO is secreted mainly by neutrophils upon activation. We hypothesize that SWCNTs may enhance neutrophil activation and therefore stimulate their own biodegradation due to MPO-generated HOCl. PEG-SWCNTs at concentrations similar to those commonly used in in vivo studies were found to activate isolated human neutrophils to produce HOCl. Both PEG-SWCNTs and c-SWCNTs enhanced HOCl generation from isolated neutrophils upon serum-opsonized zymosan stimulation. Both types of nanotubes were also found to activate neutrophils in whole blood samples. Intraperitoneal injection of a low dose of PEG-SWCNTs into mice induced an increase in percentage of circulating neutrophils and activation of neutrophils and macrophages in the peritoneal cavity, suggesting the evolution of an inflammatory response. Activated neutrophils can produce high local concentrations of HOCl, thereby creating the conditions favorable for degradation of the nanotubes.

Abstract
We have investigated the impact of persistent intravascular hemolysis on liver dysfunction using the mouse malaria model. Intravascular hemolysis showed a positive correlation with liver damage along with the increased accumulation of free heme and reactive oxidants in liver. Hepatocytes overinduced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) to catabolize free heme in building up defense against this pro-oxidant milieu. However, in a condition of persistent free heme overload in malaria, the overactivity of HO-1 resulted in continuous transient generation of free iron to favor production of reactive oxidants as evident from 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence studies. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay documented the activation of NF-κB, which in turn up-regulated intercellular adhesion molecule 1 as evident from chromatin immunoprecipitation studies. NF-κB activation also induced vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, keratinocyte chemoattractant, and macrophage inflammatory protein 2, which favored neutrophil extravasation and adhesion in liver. The infiltration of neutrophils correlated positively with the severity of hemolysis, and neutrophil depletion significantly prevented liver damage. The data further documented the elevation of serum TNFα in infected mice, and the treatment of anti-TNFα antibodies also significantly prevented neutrophil infiltration and liver injury. Deferoxamine, which chelates iron, interacts with free heme and bears antioxidant properties that prevented oxidative stress, NF-κB activation, neutrophil infiltration, hepatocyte apoptosis, and liver damage. Furthermore, the administration of N-acetylcysteine also prevented NF-κB activation, neutrophil infiltration, hepatocyte apoptosis, and liver damage. Thus, hepatic free heme accumulation, TNFα release, oxidative stress, and NF-κB activation established a link to favor neutrophil infiltration in inducing liver damage during hemolytic conditions in malaria.

Abstract
Cell-free hemoglobin (Hb) resulting from hemolysis is redox-active. It disrupts the oxidoreducing microenvironment, shifting the balance unfavorably towards tissue cytotoxicity. Thus, immediate suppression of the Hb-redox activity and removal of the cell-free plasma Hb is vital for maintaining homeostasis and survival. Among several known Hb-binding plasma proteins, haptoglobin (Hp) is the primary antioxidant of Hb. However, Hb-mediated oxidative stress persists in the covalently bound Hb-Hp aggregates or when Hp is depleted during a severe hemolysis. We therefore inquired whether there is an alternative anti-oxidative defense tactic in the blood. Here, we identified an Hb-interactome in the plasma, constituting Hb, Hp and lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I (apoAI). We found that apoAI acts rapidly as a secondary antioxidant to interact with Hb and quench the Hb-redox activity. We showed that apoAI either acts independently or collaborates with Hp to downregulate Hb-redox activity. Following the association between apoAI and Hb, the apoAI facilitates the uptake of Hb by interacting with a scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI) displayed on macrophages and hepatocytes. Our findings suggest that apoAI mediates an efficient pathway for the elimination of cytotoxic Hb redox activity.

[PMID: 22340942 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2012.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2011] [Revised: 12/22/2011] [Accepted: 01/09/2012] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether haptoglobin (Hp) phenotype is related to preeclampsia risk, or to plasma concentrations of soluble endoglin (sEng), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), and placental growth factor (PlGF). STUDY DESIGN Hp phenotype was retrospectively determined in primiparous women with uncomplicated pregnancies (n = 309), gestational hypertension (n = 215), and preeclampsia (n = 249). Phenotype was assessed by peroxidase staining following native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of hemoglobin-supplemented serum. RESULTS Compared with Hp 1-1, Hp 2-1 was associated with a significantly increased risk of preeclampsia (odds ratio, 2.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-4.18) and term preeclampsia (odds ratio, 2.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-5.83) in Caucasian women. Hp phenotype was not associated with preeclampsia risk in African Americans. Preeclamptic women had higher plasma sEng and sFlt-1, and lower PlGF, than control subjects. sEng, sFlt-1, and PlGF did not differ among women of different Hp phenotypes. CONCLUSION Hp 2-1 is associated with higher preeclampsia risk in primiparous Caucasian women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced monocyte function is associated with adverse outcomes from critical illness. Red blood cells (RBCs) are thought to impair monocyte function but relationships between RBC storage solution and monocyte suppression are unknown. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that immunosuppressive effects of RBCs on monocytes are related to both storage time and preservative solution. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Monocytes from healthy adult donors were co-cultured with RBCs that had been stored in AS-1, AS-3, or CPD only for 7, 14, or 21 days. Cells were then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and their supernatants assayed for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-10. Transwell experiments were performed to evaluate the role of cell-to-cell contact. Monocyte mRNA expression was quantified by real-time-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS LPS-induced TNF-α production capacity was reduced compared to controls for all groups, but CPD-only RBCs suppressed monocyte function more than RBCs stored in AS-1 (p = 0.007) and AS-3 (p = 0.006). IL-10 production was preserved or augmented in all groups. A longer storage time was associated with reduced TNF-α production capacity for AS-1 and AS-3 groups but not CPD. Preventing cell-to-cell contact did not eliminate the inhibitory effect of RBCs on monocyte responsiveness. RBC exposure was associated with decreased LPS-induced TNFA mRNA expression (p < 0.05 for all groups). CONCLUSIONS CPD-only RBCs suppressed monocyte function more than RBCs stored with additive solutions. TNF-α production was reduced even in the absence of cell-to-cell contact and was impaired at the mRNA level. Further work is needed to understand the role of preservative solutions in this process.

Abstract
Peripheral blood monocytes and macrophages are the only cell population with a proven hemoglobin (Hb) clearance capacity through the CD163 scavenger receptor pathway. Hb detoxification and related adaptive cellular responses are assumed to be essential processes to maintaining tissue homeostasis and promoting wound healing in injured tissues. Using a dual platform mass spectrometry analysis with MALDI-TOF/TOF and LTQ-Orbitrap instruments combined with isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), we analyzed how Hb exposure could modulate the macrophage phenotype on a proteome level. We identified and relatively quantified 3691 macrophage proteins, representing the largest human macrophage proteome published to date. The Hb polarized macrophage phenotype was characterized by an induced Hb:Hp-CD163-HO1-ferritin pathway and enhanced antioxidant enzymes while suppression of HLA class 2 was the most prominent effect. Enhanced Hb clearance and antioxidant capacity together with reduced antigen presentation might therefore be essential qualities of Hb polarized macrophages in wounded tissues and hemorrhage or atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
Haptoglobin (Hp) is a mammalian serum glycoprotein showing a genetic polymorphism with three types, 1-1, 2-2 and 1-2. Hp appears to conserve the recycling of heme-iron by forming an essentially irreversible but non-covalent complex with hemoglobin which is released into the plasma by erythrocyte lysis. As an important consequence, Haptoglobin-Hemoglobin complex (Hp-Hb) shows considerable antioxidant property. In this study, antioxidant activity of Hp (2-2)-Hb complex on hydrogen peroxide has been studied and analyzed in the absence and presence of two beta-lactam antibiotics in-vitro. For this purpose, non-Michaelis behavior of peroxidase activity of Hp (2-2)-Hb complex was analyzed using Eadie-Hofstee, Clearance and Hill plots, in the absence and presence of pharmaceutical dose of ampicillin and coamoxiclav. The results have shown that peroxidase activity of Hp (2-2)-Hb complex is modulated via homotropic effect of hydrogen peroxide as an allostric substrate. On the other hand antioxidant property of Hp (2-2)-Hb complex increased via heterotropic effect of both antibiotics on the peroxidase activity of the complex. Both drugs also have mild effect on quality of homotropic property of the peroxidase activity of Hp (2-2)-Hb complex. Therefore, it can be concluded from our study that both beta-lactam antibiotics can increase peroxidase activity of Hp (2-2)-Hb complex via heterotropic effect. Thus, the two antibiotics (especially ampicillin) may help those individuals with Hp (2-2) phenotype to improve the Hp-Hb complex efficiency of removing hydrogen peroxide from serum under oxidative stress. This can be important in the individuals with phenotype Hp 2-2 who have less antioxidant activity relative to other phenotypes and are susceptible to cardiovascular disorders, as has been reported by other researchers.

Abstract
The reaction of hemoglobin (Hb) with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) results in free radicals generated at the heme iron, followed by radical transfer to the porphyrin/globin. In the present work, we employed isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) and a LC-MALDI-MS/MS-based proteomic approach to identify the extent of oxidative changes within tetrameric Hb and dimeric Hb-haptoglobin (Hb-Hp) complexes. Extensive oxidative modifications were found to be restricted to peptides containing alphaTyr42, betaTyr145, and betaCys93. The protein region composed of these peptides appears to define an area of oxidative activity within the Hb tetramer that extends across the critical alpha1beta2/alpha2beta1 interface. Extensive oxidative modifications occurring at betaCys93 indicate that this surface amino acid is an important end point for free radical induced protein oxidation within Hb. Conversely when Hp 1-1 or 2-2 was complexed with dissociable Hb, oxidative changes in Hp complexed dimeric Hb were prevented. This protection was not observed in a stabilized tetrameric Hb, which displays a weak binding affinity for Hp. Therefore, dimerization of Hb and Hp binding may interfere with free radical translocation and play an important role in the overall antioxidant mechanism of Hp. Interestingly, the prevention of peroxide induced Hb amino acid oxidation in purified Hb-Hp1-1 and Hb-Hp2-2 was found to be equal, indicating a phenotype independent specificity in the process of oxidative protection. Taken together, these data suggest differences in oxidative modifications resulting from peroxide induced heme emanated free radical distribution in tetrameric compared to Hp1-1/Hp2-2 stabilized dimeric Hb.

Abstract
Pentacoordinate respiratory hemoproteins such as hemoglobin and myoglobin have evolved to supply cells with oxygen. However, these respiratory heme proteins are also known to function as redox enzymes, reacting with compounds such as nitric oxide and peroxides. The recent discoveries of hexacoordinate hemoglobins in vertebrates and nonsymbiotic plants suggest that the redox activity of globins is inherent to the molecule. The uncontrolled formation of radical species resulting from such redox chemistry on respiratory hemoproteins can lead to oxidative damage and cellular toxicity. In this review, we examine the functions of various globins and the mechanisms by which these globins act as redox enzymes under physiologic conditions. Evidence that redox reactions also occur under disease conditions, leading to pathologic complications, also is examined, focusing on recent discoveries showing that the ferryl oxidation state of these hemoproteins is present in these disease states in vivo. In addition, we review the latest advances in the understanding of globin redox mechanisms and how they might affect cellular signaling pathways and how they might be controlled therapeutically or, in the case of hemoglobin-based blood substitutes, through rational design.

Unusual peroxidase activity of polynitroxylated pegylated hemoglobin: Elimination of H(2)O(2) coupled with intramolecular oxidation of nitroxides. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2010; 399:139-43.

Abstract
Polynitroxylated hemoglobin (Hb(AcTPO)(12)) has been developed as a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier. While Hb(AcTPO)(12) has been shown to exert beneficial effects in a number of models of oxidative injury, its peroxidase activity has not been characterized thus far. In the blood stream, Hb(AcTPO)(12) undergoes reduction by ascorbate to its hydroxylamine form Hb(AcTPOH)(12). Here we report that Hb(AcTPOH)(12) exhibits peroxidase activity where H(2)O(2) is utilized for intramolecular oxidation of its TPOH residues to TPO. This represents an unusual redox-catalytic mechanism whereby reduction of H(2)O(2) is achieved at the expense of reducing equivalents of ascorbate converted into those of Hb(AcTPOH)(12), a new propensity that cannot be directly associated with ascorbate.
