Abstract
The manipulation of blood and blood components in sports is prohibited at all times, and besides blood transfusions, also hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) can be employed to artificially improve the oxygen transport capacity of the blood. But while most drug candidates based on stabilized hemoglobin (Hb) were found to be characterized by serious side effects, the natural giant extracellular Hb from the marine invertebrate Arenicola marina (lugworm) could be another candidate for transfusion medicine and cheating athletes, as it was found to be well tolerated in preclinical animal studies. Within this research project, lugworm Hb was implemented into the existing doping control detection method for bovine HBOCs based on ultrafiltration, tryptic digestion, and liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS). For the mass spectrometric identification of lugworm Hb, two precursor-product ion pairs for a total of four tryptic peptides originating from subunits hbA2 (T6 ), hbB1 (T3 and T6 ), and the linker chain (T16 ) were employed. The modified approach was comprehensively characterized and found to allow for the specific and sensitive detection of lugworm Hb down to concentrations of 10 μg/mL from 50 μL of serum/plasma. Therefore, it can serve as confirmation procedure for lugworm Hb following visual or electrophoretic screening. Moreover, a proof-of-concept rat administration study was conducted, and the observed detection windows of at least 4 (dose: 200 mg/kg) and 8 h (dose: 600 mg/kg) suggest that the approach can be readily employed to efficiently test in-competition doping control samples for the presence of the drug candidate.

Abstract
ABSTRACT During and immediately after cardiac arrest, cerebral oxygen delivery is impaired mainly by microthrombi and cerebral vasoconstriction. This may narrow capillaries so much that it might impede the flow of red blood cells and thus oxygen transport. The aim of this proof-of-concept study was to evaluate the effect of M101, an extracellular hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (Hemarina SA, Morlaix, France) derived from Arenicola marina , applied during cardiac arrest in a rodent model, on markers of brain inflammation, brain damage, and regional cerebral oxygen saturation. Twenty-seven Wistar rats subjected to 6 min of asystolic cardiac arrest were infused M101 (300 mg/kg) or placebo (NaCl 0.9%) concomitantly with start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Brain oxygenation and five biomarkers of inflammation and brain damage (from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and homogenates from four brain regions) were measured 8 h after return of spontaneous circulation. In these 21 different measurements, M101-treated animals were not significantly different from controls except for phospho-tau only in single cerebellum regions ( P = 0.048; ANOVA of all brain regions: P = 0.004). Arterial blood pressure increased significantly only at 4 to 8 min after return of spontaneous circulation ( P < 0.001) and acidosis decreased ( P = 0.009). While M101 applied during cardiac arrest did not significantly change inflammation or brain oxygenation, the data suggest cerebral damage reduction due to hypoxic brain injury, measured by phospho-tau. Global burden of ischemia appeared reduced because acidosis was less severe. Whether postcardiac arrest infusion of M101 improves brain oxygenation is unknown and needs to be investigated.

Abstract
Around 10-15% of COVID-19 patients affected by the Delta and the Omicron variants exhibit acute respiratory insufficiency and require intensive care unit admission to receive advanced respiratory support. However, the current ventilation methods display several limitations, including lung injury, dysphagia, respiratory muscle atrophy, and hemorrhage. Furthermore, most of the ventilatory techniques currently offered require highly trained professionals and oxygen cylinders, which may attain short supply owing to the high demand and misuse. Therefore, the search for new alternatives for oxygen therapeutics has become extremely important for maintaining gas exchange in patients affected by COVID-19. This review highlights and suggest new alternatives based on micro and nanostructures capable of supplying oxygen and/or enabling hematosis during moderate or acute COVID-19 cases.

Abstract
The long-term storage stability and portability of hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers are important design criteria in the development of these therapeutics. Lyophilization or storing proteins in a freeze-dried form is known to increase storage lifetime and reduce overall weight. In this study, we lyophilized the extracellular mega-hemoglobin of the annelid Lumbricus terrestris and tested the storage stability at different temperatures and oxygenation conditions. Storage in refrigerated conditions for over 6 months in the presence of N2 reduced oxidation by 50% while storage at room temperature in the presence of N2 reduced oxidation by 60%, all while maintaining the structural stability of the mega-hemoglobin. We also demonstrated a reliable strategy to freeze dry Hbs in the presence of a minimally non-reducing disaccharide sugar that could be easily re-solubilized in deionized water. Overall, this study made significant advances towards long term storage stability of oxygen therapeutics for direct applications in transfusion medicine.

Ecol Evol 2021; 11:16374-16386. [PMID: 34900221 PMCID: PMC8646331 DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Bioinspiration is a promising lens for biology instruction as it allows the instructor to focus on current issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. From social distancing to oxygen stress, organisms have been tackling pandemic-related problems for millions of years. What can we learn from such diverse adaptations in our own applications? This review uses a seminar course on the COVID-19 crisis to illustrate bioinspiration as an approach to teaching biology content. At the start of the class, students mind-mapped the entire problem; this range of subproblems was used to structure the biology content throughout the entire class. Students came to individual classes with a brainstormed list of biological systems that could serve as inspiration for a particular problem (e.g., absorptive leaves in response to the problem of toilet paper shortages). After exploration of relevant biology content, discussion returned to the focal problem. Students dug deeper into the literature in a group project on mask design and biological systems relevant to filtration and transparency. This class structure was an engaging way for students to learn principles from ecology, evolution, behavior, and physiology. Challenges with this course design revolved around the interdisciplinary and creative nature of the structure; for instance, the knowledge of the participants was often stretched by engineering details. While the present class was focused on the COVID-19 crisis, a course structured through a bioinspired approach can be applied to other focal problems, or subject areas, giving instructors a powerful method to deliver interdisciplinary content in an integrated and inquiry-driven way.

A Novel Oxygen Carrier (M101) Attenuates Ischemia-Reperfusion Injuries during Static Cold Storage in Steatotic Livers. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22168542. [PMID: 34445250 PMCID: PMC8395216 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22168542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The combined impact of an increasing demand for liver transplantation and a growing incidence of nonalcoholic liver disease has provided the impetus for the development of innovative strategies to preserve steatotic livers. A natural oxygen carrier, HEMO2life®, which contains M101 that is extracted from a marine invertebrate, has been used for static cold storage (SCS) and has shown superior results in organ preservation. A total of 36 livers were procured from obese Zucker rats and randomly divided into three groups, i.e., control, SCS-24H and SCS-24H + M101 (M101 at 1 g/L), mimicking the gold standard of organ preservation. Ex situ machine perfusion for 2 h was used to evaluate the quality of the livers. Perfusates were sampled for functional assessment, biochemical analysis and subsequent biopsies were performed for assessment of ischemia-reperfusion markers. Transaminases, GDH and lactate levels at the end of reperfusion were significantly lower in the group preserved with M101 (p < 0.05). Protection from reactive oxygen species (low MDA and higher production of NO2-NO3) and less inflammation (HMGB1) were also observed in this group (p < 0.05). Bcl-1 and caspase-3 were higher in the SCS-24H group (p < 0.05) and presented more histological damage than those preserved with HEMO2life®. These data demonstrate, for the first time, that the addition of HEMO2life® to the preservation solution significantly protects steatotic livers during SCS by decreasing reperfusion injury and improving graft function.

Abstract
The amanitins (namely α- and β-amanitin) contained in certain mushrooms are bicyclic octapeptides that, when ingested, are responsible for potentially lethal hepatotoxicity. M101 is an extracellular hemoglobin extracted from the marine worm Arenicola marina. It has intrinsic Cu/Zn-SOD-like activity and is currently used as an oxygen carrier in organ preservation solutions. Our present results suggest that M101 might be effective in reducing amanitin-induced hepatotoxicity and may have potential for therapeutic development.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) is indispensable for aerobic respiration and cellular metabolism. In case of injury, reactive oxygen species are produced, causing oxidative stress, which triggers cell damaging chemical mediators leading to ischemic reperfusion injuries (IRI). Sufficient tissue oxygenation is necessary for optimal wound healing. In this context, several hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers have been developed and tested, especially as graft preservatives for transplant procedures. However, most of the commercially available O2 carriers increase oxidative stress and show some adverse effects. Interestingly, the hemoglobin derived from the marine lugworm Arenicola marina (M101) has been presented as an efficient therapeutic O2 carrier with potential anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties. Furthermore, it has demonstrated promise as a supplement to conventional organ preservatives by reducing IRI. This review summarizes the properties and various applications of M101. M101 is an innovative oxygen carrier with several beneficial therapeutic properties, and further research must be carried out to determine its efficacy in the management of different pathologies.

Abstract
A wide variety of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been designed for use as red blood cell (RBC) substitutes in transfusion medicine, ex vivo organ perfusion, oxygen delivery to hypoxic tissues, and a myriad of other applications. However, hemoglobin (Hb) derived from annelids (erythrocruorins [Ecs]) comprise a natural class of HBOC, since they are larger in size (30 nm in diameter) and contain more heme groups per molecule (144 heme groups) compared to human Hb (hHb; 5 nm in diameter and 4 heme groups). The larger size of Ec compared to hHb reduces tissue extravasation from the vascular space, thus, reducing vasoconstriction, systemic hypertension, and tissue oxidative injury when used as an RBC substitute. In addition, prior research has shown that Ecs possess slower auto-oxidation rates than hHb at physiological temperature, thus, making them attractive candidates for use as RBC substitutes. Unfortunately, it was also observed that Ecs have a much lower circulatory half-life in vivo compared to other HBOCs. Hence, conjugating polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the surface of Ec was proposed as a simple strategy to increase Ec circulatory half-life. Therefore, in order to inform future in vivo studies with PEGylated Ec, we decided to investigate the structural stability and biophysical properties of variable PEG surface coverage on Ec compared to native Ec. We observed an increase in PEG-Ec diameter and molecular weight (MW) and changes to the quaternary structure, secondary structure, and surface hydrophobicity after PEGylation. There was also an increase in oxygen binding affinity, reduction in oxygen offloading rate, and increase in auto-oxidation rate for increasing PEGylation ratios. Weak dissociation of Ec was also observed after dense PEGylation caused by steric repulsion of the conjugated PEG chains. Hence, we determined an optimum Ec PEGylation ratio that resulted in a substantial size and MW increase along with preservation of oxygen binding properties. In future studies, these materials will be tested in animal models to evaluate pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, tissue oxygenation, microcirculatory responses, and overall safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection with SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the COVID-19 crisis affecting the whole world. This virus can provoke acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) leading to overcrowed the intensive care unit (ICU). Over the last months, worldwide experience demonstrated that the ARDS in COVID-19 patients are in many ways "atypical". The mortality rate in ventilated patients is high despite the application of the gold standard treatment (protective ventilation, curare, prone position, inhaled NO). Several studies suggested that the SARS-CoV-2 could interact negatively on red blood cell homeostasis. Furthermore, SarsCov2 creates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which are toxic and generate endothelial dysfunction. Hypothesis/objective(s) We hypothesis that HEMO2Life® administrated intravenously is safe and could help symptomatically the patient condition. It would increase arterial oxygen content despite lung failure and allow better tissue oxygenation control. The use of HEMO2Life® is also interesting due to its anti-oxidative effect preventing cytokine storm induced by the SARS-CoV-2. Evaluation of the hypothesis: Hemarina is based on the properties of the hemoglobin of the Arenicola marina sea-worm (HEMO2Life®). This extracellular hemoglobin has an oxygen capacity 40 times greater than the hemoglobin of vertebrates. Furthermore, the size of this molecule is 250 times smaller than a human red blood cell, allowing it to diffuse in all areas of the microcirculation, without diffusing outside the vascular sector. It possesses an antioxidative property du a Superoxide Dismutase Activity. This technology has been the subject of numerous publications and HEMO2Life® was found to be well-tolerated and did not induce toxicity. It was administered intravenously to hamsters and rats, and showed no acute effect on heart rate and blood pressure and did not cause microvascular vasoconstriction. In preclinical in vivo models (mice, rats, and dogs), HEMO2Life® has enabled better tissue oxygenation, especially in the brain. This molecule has already been used in humans in organ preservation solutions and the patients showed no abnormal clinical signs. CONSEQUENCES OF THE HYPOTHESIS The expected benefits of HEMO2Life® for COVID-19 patients are improved survival, avoidance of tracheal intubation, shorter oxygen supplementation, and the possibility of treating a larger number of patients as molecular respirator without to use an invasive machine.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungZum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt ist in der EU und den USA kein artifizieller Sauerstofftransporter zugelassen. Hämoglobin-basierte Sauerstoff-Carrier (HBOC) sind bereits seit Jahrzehnten Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen. Ein wesentliches Hindernis bei der Zulassung war bisher der Anspruch der Entwickler, einen universell einsetzbaren Blutersatz zu produzieren. Die Beschränkung auf eine Indikation scheint erfolgversprechender zu sein. Der Ansatz, nicht nur Sauerstoff von der Lunge zum Gewebe, sondern auch der Abtransport von Kohlendioxid vom Gewebe zur Lunge zu transportieren, der effektiver als mit Erythrozyten durchgeführt werden kann, erscheint besonders attraktiv. Aufgrund vielversprechender präklinischer sowie klinischer Untersuchungen besteht die Hoffnung, dass in absehbarer Zeit auch in der EU künstliche Sauerstofftransporter für therapeutische Zwecke zur Verfügung stehen werden.

Abstract
The control of inflammation and infection is crucial for periodontal wound healing and regeneration. M101, an oxygen carrier derived from Arenicola marina, was tested for its anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious potential based on its anti-oxidative and tissue oxygenation properties. In vitro, no cytotoxicity was observed in oral epithelial cells (EC) treated with M101. M101 (1 g/L) reduced significantly the gene expression of pro-inflammatory markers such as TNF-α, NF-κΒ and RANKL in P. gingivalis-LPS stimulated and P. gingivalis-infected EC. The proteome array revealed significant down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-8) and chemokine ligands (RANTES and IP-10), and upregulation of pro-healing mediators (PDGF-BB, TGF-β1, IL-10, IL-2, IL-4, IL-11 and IL-15) and, extracellular and immune modulators (TIMP-2, M-CSF and ICAM-1). M101 significantly increased the gene expression of Resolvin-E1 receptor. Furthermore, M101 treatment reduced P. gingivalis biofilm growth over glass surface, observed with live/dead analysis and by decreased P. gingivalis 16 s rRNA expression (51.7%) (p < 0.05). In mice, M101 reduced the clinical abscess size (50.2%) in P. gingivalis-induced calvarial lesion concomitant with a decreased inflammatory score evaluated through histomorphometric analysis, thus, improving soft tissue and bone healing response. Therefore, M101 may be a novel therapeutic agent that could be beneficial in the management of P. gingivalis associated diseases.

Abstract
Oxygen therapeutics are being developed for a variety of applications in transfusion medicine. In order to reduce the side-effects (vasoconstriction, systemic hypertension, and oxidative tissue injury) associated with previous generations of oxygen therapeutics, new strategies are focused on increasing the molecular diameter of hemoglobin obtained from mammalian sources via polymerization and encapsulation. Another approach towards oxygen therapeutic design has centered on using naturally occurring large molecular diameter hemoglobins (i.e. erythrocruorins) derived from annelid sources. Therefore, the goal of this study was to purify erythrocruorin from the terrestrial worm Lumbricus terrestris for diverse oxygen therapeutic applications. Tangential flow filtration (TFF) was used as a scalable protein purification platform to obtain a >99% pure LtEc product, which was confirmed by size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography and SDS-PAGE analysis. In vitro characterization concluded that the ultra-pure LtEc product had oxygen equilibrium properties similar to human red blood cells, and a lower rate of auto-oxidation compared to human hemoglobin, both of which should enable efficient oxygen transport under physiological conditions. In vivo evaluation concluded that the ultra-pure product had positive effects on the microcirculation sustaining functional capillary density compared to a less pure product (~86% purity). In summary, we purified an LtEc product with favorable biophysical properties that performed well in an animal model using a reliable and scalable purification platform to eliminate undesirable proteins.

Abstract
Approaches able to counteract, at least temporarily, hypoxia, a well-known factor of resistance to treatment in solid tumors are highly desirable. Herein, we report the use of nanosized zeolite crystals as hyperoxic/hypercapnic gas carriers for glioblastoma. First, the non-toxic profile of nanosized zeolite crystals in living animals (mice, rats and non-human primates) and in various cell types is presented. Second, the ability of the nanosized zeolites to act as a vasoactive agent for a targeted re-oxygenation of the tumor after intravenous injection is shown. As attested by an MRI protocol, the zeolites were able to increase oxygenation and blood volume specifically within the brain tumor whilst no changes in the healthy-non tumoral brain-were observed. The first proof of concept for the use of metal-containing nanosized zeolites as a tool for vectorization of hyperoxic/hypercapnic gases in glioblastoma is revealed.

Abstract
The in vitro production of red blood cells and platelets is a groundbreaking technology that can-when optimized-surrogate for donated blood cells, in total or in part. Here we discuss questions that may arise when the technology is available, relative to safety issues (comprising both quantitative and qualitative parameters) and to ethics, an item often forgotten in the debates so far.

Abstract
In blood, the primary role of red blood cells (RBCs) is to transport oxygen via highly regulated mechanisms involving hemoglobin (Hb). Hb is a tetrameric porphyrin protein comprising of two α- and two β-polypeptide chains, each containing an iron-containing heme group capable of binding one oxygen molecule. In military as well as civilian traumatic exsanguinating hemorrhage, rapid loss of RBCs can lead to suboptimal tissue oxygenation and subsequent morbidity and mortality. In such cases, transfusion of whole blood or RBCs can significantly improve survival. However, blood products including RBCs present issues of limited availability and portability, need for type matching, pathogenic contamination risks, and short shelf-life, causing substantial logistical barriers to their prehospital use in austere battlefield and remote civilian conditions. While robust research is being directed to resolve these issues, parallel research efforts have emerged toward bioengineering of semisynthetic and synthetic surrogates of RBCs, using various cross-linked, polymeric, and encapsulated forms of Hb. These Hb-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) can potentially provide therapeutic oxygenation when blood or RBCs are not available. Several of these HBOCs have undergone rigorous preclinical and clinical evaluation, but have not yet received clinical approval in the USA for human use. While these designs are being optimized for clinical translations, several new HBOC designs and molecules have been reported in recent years, with unique properties. The current article will provide a comprehensive review of such HBOC designs, including current state-of-the-art and novel molecules in development, along with a critical discussion of successes and challenges in this field.

Abstract
Several adverse events have been associated with the infusion of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), including transient hypertension, gastrointestinal, pancreatic/liver enzyme elevation, and cardiac/renal injury in humans. Although several mechanisms have been suggested, the basis of HBOC toxicity is still poorly understood. Scavenging of vascular endothelial nitric oxide (NO) and heme-mediated oxidative side reactions are thought to be the major causes of toxicity. However, based on more recent preclinical studies, oxidative pathways (driven by the heme prosthetic group) seem to play a more prominent role in the overall toxicity of free Hb or HBOCs. HBOCs display a diversity of physicochemical properties, including molecular size/cross-linking characteristics leading to differences in oxygen affinity, allosteric, redox properties, and even oxidative inactivation by protein/heme clearing mechanisms. These diverse characteristics can therefore be manipulated independently, leaving open the possibility of engineering a safe and effective HBOC. To date, several antioxidative strategies have been proposed to counteract the redox side reactions of current generation HBOCs.

Abstract
Vigilance is essential in the perioperative period. When blood is not an option for the patient, especially in a procedure/surgery that normally holds a risk for blood transfusion, complexity is added to the management. Current technology and knowledge has made avoidance of blood transfusion a realistic option but it does require a concerted patient-centered effort from the perioperative team. In this article, we provide suggestions for a successful, safe, and bloodless journey for patients. The approaches include preoperative optimization as well as intraoperative and postoperative techniques to reduce blood loss, and also introduces current innovative substitutes for transfusions. This article also assists in considering and maneuvering through the legal and ethical systems to respect patients' beliefs and ensuring their safety.

Abstract
Ischaemia impairs organ quality during preservation in a time‐dependent manner, due to a lack of oxygen supply. Its impact on pancreas and islet transplantation outcome has been demonstrated by a correlation between cold ischaemia time and poor islet isolation efficiency. Our goal in the present study was to improve pancreas and islet quality using a novel natural oxygen carrier (M101, 2 g/L), which has been proven safe and efficient in other clinical applications, including kidney transplantation, and for several pre‐clinical transplantation models. When M101 was added to the preservation solution of rat pancreas during ischaemia, a decrease in oxidative stress (ROS), necrosis (HMGB1), and cellular stress pathway (p38 MAPK)activity was observed. Freshly isolated islets had improved function when M101 was injected in the pancreas. Additionally, human pancreases exposed to M101 for 3 hours had an increase in complex 1 mitochondrial activity, as well as activation of AKT activity, a cell survival marker. Insulin secretion was also up‐regulated for isolated islets. In summary, these results demonstrate a positive effect of the oxygen carrier M101 on rat and human pancreas during preservation, with an overall improvement in post‐isolation islet quality.

Abstract
Glossoscolex paulistus hemoglobin structure is composed of 144 globin chains and 36 polypeptide chains lacking the heme group, with a total molecular mass of 3600 kDa. The current study focuses on the oxy-HbGp oligomeric stability, as a function of the storage time, at pH 7.0, using dynamic light scattering, analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), optical absorption and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). HbGp stored in Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.0, at 4 °C, for two years remains in the native form, while 4-6 years HbGp stocks present typical hemichrome species absorption spectra. AUC and SEC analyses show that the contribution of HbGp-subunits, such as, dodecamer (abcd)3, tetramer abcd, trimer abc and monomer d, increases with the protein aging due to the lower stability of the HbGp with the time. The dissociation and the oxidation of the iron noted for the older protein solutions indicate that HbGp storage for periods of time longer than two years changes its ability to carry oxygen. Despite the reduction of HbGp stability and oxygen carrying capacity with aging, the protein stability is still larger as compared to mammalian hemoglobins. Thus, the extracellular hemoglobins are quite stable and resistant to the auto-oxidation process, making them of interest for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delayed graft function (DGF) has a significant impact on kidney transplantation outcome. One of the underlying pivotal mechanisms is organ preservation and associated hypothermia and biochemical alteration. AREAS COVERED This paper focuses on organ preservation and its clinical consequences and describes 1. A comprehensive presentation of the pathophysiological mechanism involved in delayed graft function development; 2. The impact on endothelial cells and microvasculature integrity and the consequences on transplanted organ outcome; 3. The reassessment of dynamic organ preservation motivated by the growing use of extended criteria donors and the interest in the potential of normothermia; 4. The role of oxygenation during dynamic preservation; and 5. Novel oxygen carriers and their proof of concept in transplantation, among which M101 (HEMO2life®) is currently the most extensively investigated. EXPERT OPINION Metabolic disturbances and imbalance of oxygen supply during preservation highlight the importance of providing oxygen. Normothermia, permitted by recent advances in machine perfusion technology, appears to be the leading edge of preservation technology. Several oxygen transporters are compatible with normothermia; however, only M101 also demonstrates compatibility with standard hypothermic preservation.

Abstract
Blood transfusions are frequently lifesaving, but there is growing awareness of their associated infectious and noninfectious adverse events. Patient blood management advocates for judicious use of transfusions and considerations of alternatives to correct anemia or achieve hemostasis. Several transfusion practices, either already implemented or under investigation, aim to further improve the safety of transfusions. An enduring challenge in pediatric and neonatal transfusion practice is that studies typically focus on adults, and findings are extrapolated to younger patients. This article aims to summarize some of the newer developments in transfusion medicine with a focus on the neonatal and pediatric population.

Abstract
The giant extracellular hemoglobin from earthworm Glossoscolex paulistus (HbGp) reacts with hydrogen peroxide, displaying peroxidase activity in the presence of guaiacol. The formation of ferryl-HbGp (compound II) from the peroxidase cycle was studied in the present work. The hypervalent ferryl-HbGp species was formed directly by the reaction of oxy-HbGp and hydrogen peroxide. The oxy-HbGp heme groups (144) under different excess of H2O2, relative to heme, showed an influence in the total amount of ferryl-HbGp at the end of the reaction. The ferryl-HbGp was formed with second order rate constant of 27.1±0.5M-1s-1, at pH7.0 and 25°C. The increase of the pH value to 8.0 induces both faster formation and decay of ferryl-HbGp, together with oligomeric dissociation induced by the presence of H2O2, as observed by DLS. This effect of dissociation increases the heme exposure and decreases the ferryl-HbGp stability, affecting the rate constant as a parallel reaction. At pH7.0, high excess of H2O2, above 1:5 oxy-HbGp heme: H2O2, produces the aggregation of the protein. Our results show for the first time, for an extracellular giant hemoglobin, the possible effects of oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
The severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be reduced if oxygen can be rapidly provided to the injured brain. This study evaluated if the oxygen-carrier M101 causes vasoconstricton of pial vasculature in healthy rats (Experiment 1) and if M101 improves brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) in rats with controlled cortical impact (CCI)-TBI (Experiment 2). M101 (12.5 mL/kg intravenous [IV] over 2 h) caused a mild (9 mm Hg) increase in the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of healthy rats without constriction of cerebral pial arterioles. M101 (12 mL/kg IV over 1 h) caused a modest (27 mm Hg) increase in MAP (peak, 123 ± 5 mm Hg [mean ± standard error of the mean]) of CCI-TBI rats and restored PbtO2 to near pre-injury levels. In both M101 and untreated control (NON) groups, PbtO2 was ∼30 ± 2 mm Hg pre-injury and decreased (p ≤ 0.05) to ∼16 ± 2 mm Hg 15 min after CCI. In NON, PbtO2 remained ∼50% of baseline but M101 administration resulted in a sustained increase in PbtO2 (peak, 25 ± 5 mm Hg), which was not significantly different from pre-injury until the end of the study, when it decreased again below pre-injury (but was still higher than NON). Histopathology showed no differences between groups. In conclusion, M101 increased systemic blood pressures without concurrent cerebral pial vasoconstriction (in healthy rats) and restored PbtO2 to 86% of pre-injury for at least 80 min when given soon after CCI-TBI. M101 should be evaluated in a clinically-relevant large animal model for pre-hospital treatment of TBI.

[PMID: 29313031 PMCID: PMC5675092 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2017] [Revised: 06/14/2017] [Accepted: 06/18/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
While many blood substitutes are based on mammalian hemoglobins (e.g., human hemoglobin, HbA), the naturally extracellular hemoglobins of invertebrates (a.k.a. erythrocruorins, Ecs) are intriguing alternative oxygen carriers. Specifically, the erythrocruorin of Lumbricus terrestris has been shown to effectively deliver oxygen in mice and rats without the negative side effects observed with HbA. In this study, the properties of six oligochaete Ecs (Lumbricus terrestris, Eisenia hortensis, Eisenia fetida, Eisenia veneta, Eudrilus eugeniae, and Amynthas gracilis) were compared in vitro to identify the most promising blood substitute candidate(s). Several metrics were used to compare the Ecs, including their oxidation rates, dissociation at physiological pH, thermal stability, and oxygen transport characteristics. Overall, the Ecs of Lumbricus terrestris (LtEc) and Eisenia fetida (EfEc) were identified as promising candidates, since they demonstrated high thermal and oligomeric stability, while also exhibiting relatively low oxidation rates. Interestingly, the O2 affinity of LtEc (P50 = 26.25 mmHg at 37 °C) was also observed to be uniquely lower than EfEc and all of the other Ecs (P50 = 9.29–13.62 mmHg). Subsequent alignment of the primary sequences of LtEc and EfEc revealed several significant amino acid substitutions within the D subunit interfaces that may be responsible for this significant change in O2 affinity. Nonetheless, these results show that LtEc and EfEc are promising potential blood substitutes that are resistant to oxidation and denaturation, but additional experiments will need to be conducted to determine their safety, efficacy, and the effects of their disparate oxygen affinities in vivo.

Application of HBOCs electrophoretic method to detect a new blood substitute derived from the giant extracellular haemoglobin of lugworm. Drug Test Anal 2017; 9:1762-1767. [PMID: 27787946 DOI: 10.1002/dta.2127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2016] [Revised: 10/21/2016] [Accepted: 10/21/2016] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Manipulation of blood and blood components is prohibited in sports by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This includes the use of blood substitutes to increase oxygen transport, like haemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), which are compounds derived from haemoglobin. Despite their medical interest, the first generation of HBOCs had serious adverse effects and was abandoned. However, new studies are now exploiting the properties of marine worm haemoglobins, which circulate as giant extracellular complexes with high oxygen-binding capacities. HEMOXYCarrier® (HC), developed by Hemarina, is one of the most advanced and promising HBOCs, and HC may become a tempting doping tool for athletes in the future. Here, HC detection in plasma/serum was evaluated with the method used to detect the first HBOCs, based on electrophoresis and heme peroxidase properties. An HC-derived product was identified in human plasma up to 72 h after in vitro incubation at 37 °C. HC degradation also induced methemalbumin formation. After injecting HC at the effective dose of 200 mg/kg into mice, the HC-derived product was detected only for a few hours and no accumulation of methemalbumin was observed. Due to this limited detection window in vivo, measuring specific worm globin degradation products by mass spectrometry might be an alternative for future anti-doping analyses.
