Abstract
Blood transport proteins are biogenic molecules with unique and interesting inherent characteristics that make up living organisms. As the utilization of their inherent characteristics can be a groundbreaking strategy to resolve and improve several clinical problems, attempts have been made to develop pharmaceutical and biomedical preparations based on blood transport proteins for the treatment and diagnosis of disorders. Among various blood transport proteins, we focus on the immense potential of hemoglobin and albumin to serve as carriers of biomedical gases (oxygen and carbon monoxide) and anticancer agents (low-molecular compounds and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides), respectively, for the development of innovative drug delivery systems (DDS) to treat intractable disorders and solid cancers. In this review, I introduce the pharmaceutical technology, strategies, and application of DDS carriers that have been designed on the basis of the structure and function of hemoglobin and albumin. In addition, the prospect of using hemoglobin and albumin as materials for DDS carriers is discussed.

Immediate effects of systemic administration of normal and high O 2-affinity haemoglobin vesicles as a transfusion alternative in a rat pneumonectomy model. BMJ Open Respir Res 2020; 7:7/1/e000476. [PMID: 32527871 PMCID: PMC7292042 DOI: 10.1136/bmjresp-2019-000476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemoglobin vesicles (HbVs) are red blood cell (RBC) substitutes with a phospholipid bilayer membrane and a polyethylene modified surface (diameter=250 nm; P50=28 Torr). They can be preserved for years and can be used in patients of all blood types without the risk of infection. Their oxygen affinity can be modified by changing the allosteric effectors. METHODS Left pneumonectomy was performed under mechanical ventilation on rats, followed by rapid exsanguination of ~30% of the total circulating blood volume. Rat RBCs shed in 5% human serum albumin (HSA) solution (rat RBC), HbV with high oxygen affinity in 5% albumin solution (low-P50 HbV, P50=9 Torr), normal HbV suspended in 5% albumin (HbV, P50=28 Torr) or 5% HSA was infused for resuscitation. Haemodynamics and oxygenation were evaluated. RESULTS Systemic arterial blood pressure significantly decreased after exsanguination and increased after each infusion. In the HbV, low-P50 HbV and rat RBC groups, all rats were liberated from mechanical ventilation and blood pressure was stabilised, whereas 50% of the rats in the HSA group died within 1 hour after weaning from mechanical ventilation. The PaO2 in arterial blood for 1 hour after liberation from mechanical ventilation in the rat RBC, HbV and low-P50 HbV groups was 59.4±12.5, 58.3±10.1 and 70.5±14.5 mm Hg, respectively. The PaO2 in the low-P50 HbV group was significantly higher than those in the rat RBC and HbV groups (p=0.05 for both). Serum lactate elevations due to hypoxic damage were minimised by HbV, low-P50 HbV as well as rat RBCs. CONCLUSIONS The oxygen-carrying ability of HbV was comparable to that of rat RBCs, even under impaired lung function after pneumonectomy. HbVs with high oxygen affinity may have more beneficial effects on oxygenation in pulmonary resection.

Carbon Monoxide Rescues the Developmental Lethality of Experimental Rat Models of Rhabdomyolysis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2020; 372:355-365.

Abstract
Many victims, after being extricated from a collapsed building as the result of a disaster, suffer from disaster nephrology, a term that is referred to as the crush syndrome (CS). Recommended treatments, which include dialysis or the continuous administration of massive amounts of fluid are not usually easy in cases of such mass natural disasters. In the present study, we examined the therapeutic performance of a biomimetic carbon monoxide (CO) delivery system, CO-enriched red blood cells (CO-RBCs), on experimental animal models of an acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by traumatic and nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis, including CS and rhabdomyolysis with massive hemorrhage shock. A single CO-RBC treatment was found to effectively suppress the pathogenesis of AKI with the mortality in these model rats being improved. In addition, in further studies using glycerol-induced rhabdomyolysis model rats, the pathogenesis of which is similar to that for the CS, AKI and mortality were also reduced as the result of a CO-RBC treatment. Furthermore, CO-RBCs were found to have renoprotective effects via the suppression of subsequent heme protein-associated renal oxidative injury; the oxidation of myoglobin in the kidneys, the generation of reactive oxygen species by free heme produced from degraded-cytochrome P450 and hemoglobin-associated renal injury. Because CO-RBCs can be prepared and used at both hospitals and at a disaster site, these findings suggest that CO-RBCs have the potential for use as a novel cell therapy against both nontraumatic and traumatic rhabdomyolysis including CS-induced AKI. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: After mass natural and man-made disasters, people who are trapped in collapsed buildings are in danger of acute kidney injury (AKI), including crush syndrome (CS)-related AKI. This paper reports that carbon monoxide-enriched red blood cells (CO-RBCs), which can be prepared at both hospitals and disaster sites, dramatically suppressed the pathogenesis of CS-related AKI, thus improving mortality via suppressing heme protein-associated renal injuries. CO-RBCs have the potential for serving as a practical therapeutic agent against disaster nephrology associated with the CS.

Abstract
Hemoglobin vesicles (HbVs) in which human hemoglobin is encapsulated in a phospholipid bilayer membrane (liposome) have been developed as artificial red blood cells. Although the effectiveness of HbVs, including their physicochemical characteristics and pharmacological effects, has been reported, data on the pharmacokinetic properties of HbVs are limited. Previously, we developed two kinds of radiolabeled HbV, 125I-HbV and 3H-HbV, in which the internal hemoglobin and lipid membranes were labeled with 125I and 3H, respectively. Using these isotope-labeled HbVs, we clarified the detailed pharmacokinetic properties of HbVs in healthy animals and experimental animal disease models of hemorrhagic shock, chronic cirrhosis, and hyperlipidemia. This review describes our previous results regarding the pharmacokinetic properties of HbVs, and we discuss the safety and usefulness of HbVs from the viewpoint of their pharmacokinetic characteristics. Furthermore, we have modified HbVs by employing them as a carbon monoxide (CO) carrier because the hemoglobin inside HbVs reversibly binds to CO, resulting in CO-bound HbVs (CO-HbVs). Here we report the potential of CO-HbVs for the treatment of intractable inflammatory disorders based on their therapeutic efficiency in experimental animal models.

Abstract
PURPOSE Renal denervation (RD) has been demonstrated to be an effective approach to reduce blood pressure for those with resistant hypertension. Yet, we aimed to explore the effect and possible mechanism of RD on blood-pressure response to hemorrhagic shock in spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS A total of 48 male spontaneously hypertensive rats were randomized to three groups: study group, sham-operation group and control group. RD was achieved by cutting off renal nerves and swabbing phenol on it. Ten weeks after RD, 8 rats in each group were sacrificed to collect the kidney and heart tissues. The remaining rats were subjected to an operation to induce hemorrhagic shock which would lead to 40% loss of total blood volume, and observed for 120 min. The serum concentration of norepinephrine was measured before and three weeks after RD. RESULTS The blood-pressure and norepinephrine levels were reduced significantly after RD (p < 0.05). Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the surgery group were higher than those in the sham and control groups at 15, 30 and 45 min after hemorrhagic shock (p < 0.05), while no significant difference was observed at 60, 90 and 120 min (p > 0.05). Additionally, the beta-1 adrenergic receptor (β1-AR) in the study group was significantly higher than those in the other two groups (p < 0.05) after hemorrhagic shock. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that RD could to some extent improve blood-pressure response to hemorrhagic shock in an established model of severe hemorrhagic shock in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The mechanism might be associated with up-regulation of β1-AR.

Abstract
For investigating the accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon of polyglycerin modified nanoemulsions upon cross administration with polyethylene glycol (PEG) covered nanoemulsion, we used the 1,2-distea-royl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-n-polyglycerine-610 and the 1,2-distearoyl-n-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-n-[me-thoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] as modify materials, the dialkylcarbocyanines as fluorescence indicator. Exhausted macrophages rat model was established and new material containing polycarboxyl structure was synthesized. The microplate reader and the in vivo optical imaging system were applied to measure the concentration of nanoemulsions in tissues. The results show that the first dose of polyglycerin modified nanoemulsion can induce the ABC phenomenon of the second dose of PEGylated nanoemulsion. With the increase in the amount of the surface polyglycerin, the extent of the ABC phenomenon decreases. Liver accumulation has positive relationship with the ABC phenomenon. Furthermore, kupffer cells in liver can get more immune information from polyhydroxy structure than polycarboxyl group in the modify compound. The results of our work imply that the polycarboxyl structure has advantages to eliminate the ABC phenomenon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hemoglobin vesicles (HbVs) function as a red blood cell (RBC) substitute and are composed of purified hemoglobin encapsulated in a phospholipid bilayer membrane. The performance of HbVs as a substitute for RBC transfusions was examined in a mouse model of pneumonectomy following acute 40% exchange-transfusion with HbVs. METHODS Before performing left pneumonectomies, 40% of the blood volume of mice was replaced with a) lactated Ringer's solution (control), b) 5% recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA), c) mouse RBCs shed in rHSA (mRBCs/rHSA), or d) HbV suspended in rHSA (HbV/rHSA). We compared postoperative a) survival, b) functional recovery, and c) histopathological, immunohistochemical, and inflammatory responses among the study groups. RESULTS In the HbV/rHSA and mRBC/rHSA groups, all mice survived ≥7 days after pneumonectomy, whereas 100% of the control mice died within a few h and 50% of mice in the rHSA group died within 24 h after pneumonectomy. Immunohistochemical staining for hypoxia-inducible factor-1α showed that hepatic and renal hypoxic injuries were prominently mitigated by HbV and mRBCs. CONCLUSIONS The oxygen-carrying performance of HbV was similar to that of mRBCs, even with impaired lung functions following pneumonectomy. HbV infusion did not interfere with the recovery from surgical injury. In the near future, HbVs could be used clinically as a substitute for the perioperative transfusion of RBCs, when or where donated RBCs are not immediately available.

Abstract
Bioactive gaseous molecules, such as oxygen (O2) and carbon monoxide (CO), are essential elements for most living organisms to maintain their homeostasis and biological activities. An accumulating body of evidence suggests that such molecules can be used in clinics as a medical gas in the treatment of various intractable disorders. Recent developments in hemoglobin-encapsulated liposomes, namely hemoglobin vesicles (HbV), possess great potential for retaining O2 and CO and could lead to strategies for the development of novel pharmacological agents as medical gas donors. HbV with either O2 or CO bound to it has been demonstrated to have therapeutic potential for treating certain intractable disorders and has the possibility to serve as diagnostic and augmenting product by virtue of unique physicochemical characteristics of HbV. The present review provides an overview of the present status of the use of O2- or CO-binding HbV in experimental animal models of intractable disorders and discusses prospective clinical applications of HbV as a medical gas donor.

Comparison of the Pharmacokinetic Properties of Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers. J Funct Biomater 2017; 8:jfb8010011.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) is an ideal material for use in the development of an oxygen carrier in view of its innate biological properties. However, the vascular retention of free Hb is too short to permit a full therapeutic effect because Hb is rapidly cleared from the kidney via glomerular filtration or from the liver via the haptogloblin-CD 163 pathway when free Hb is administered in the blood circulation. Attempts have been made to develop alternate acellular and cellular types of Hb based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), in which Hb is processed via various routes in order to regulate its pharmacokinetic properties. These HBOCs have been demonstrated to have superior pharmacokinetic properties including a longer half-life than the Hb molecule in preclinical and clinical trials. The present review summarizes and compares the pharmacokinetic properties of acellular and cellular type HBOCs that have been developed through different approaches, such as polymerization, PEGylation, cross-linking, and encapsulation.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has attracted attention as a possible therapeutic agent for affecting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Previously, CO-bound hemoglobin vesicle (CO-HbV) was developed as a nanotechnology-based CO donor, and its safety profile and therapeutic potential as a clinically applicable carrier of CO were examined in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, the therapeutic efficacy of CO-HbV against severe acute pancreatitis was examined with secondary distal organ-injured model mice that were fed with a choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented diet. A CO-HbV treatment significantly reduced the mortality of the acute pancreatitis model mice compared to saline and HbV. Biochemical and histological evaluations clearly showed that CO-HbV suppressed acute pancreatitis by inhibiting the production of systemic proinflammatory cytokines, neutrophil infiltration, and oxidative injuries in pancreatic tissue. Interestingly, CO-HbV also diminished the subsequent damage to distal organs including liver, kidneys, and lungs. This could be due to the suppression of neutrophil infiltration into tissues and the subsequently enhanced oxidative injuries. In contrast, O2-bound HbV, the inactive form of CO-HbV, was ineffective against both pancreatitis and distal organ injuries, confirming that CO was directly responsible for the protective effects of CO-HbV in acute pancreatitis. These findings suggest that CO-HbV has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics of CO and consequently exerts a superior protective effect against acute pancreatitis-induced multiorgan damage.

Abstract
A preclinical study of dodecapeptide ((400)HHLGGAKQAGDV(411)) (H12)-(adenosine diphosphate, ADP)-liposomes for use as a synthetic platelet (PLT) substitute under conditions of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-induced dilutional thrombocytopenia is limited to pharmacological effect. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of H12-(ADP)-liposomes in RBC transfusion-induced dilutional thrombocytopenic rats were evaluated. As evidenced by the use of (14) C, (3) H double-radiolabeled H12-(ADP)-liposomes in which the encapsulated ADP and liposomal membrane were labeled with (14) C and (3) H, respectively, the H12-(ADP)-liposomes remained intact in the blood circulation for up to 3 h after injection, and were mainly distributed to the liver and spleen. The encapsulated ADP was mainly eliminated in the urine, whereas the outer membrane was mainly eliminated in the feces. These successive pharmacokinetic properties of the H12-(ADP)-liposomes in RBC transfusion-induced dilutional thrombocytopenic rats were similar to those in healthy rats, except for the shorter retention time in the circulation. When H12-(ADP)-liposomes were repeatedly injected into RBC transfusion-induced dilutional thrombocytopenic rats at intervals of 5 days at a dose of 10 mg lipids/kg, the second dose of injected H12-(ADP)-liposomes were rapidly cleared from the circulation, namely, via the accelerated blood clearance phenomenon. These novel pharmacokinetic findings provide useful information for the further development of H12-(ADP)-liposomes as a PLT substitute.

Abstract
Electron-energy-rich coenzymes in cells, NADH and NADPH, are re-energized repeatedly through the Embden-Meyerhof and pentose-phosphate glycolytic pathways, respectively. This study demonstrates extraction of their electron energies in red blood cells (RBCs) for in vivo extracellular chemical reactions using an electron mediator shuttling across the biomembrane. Hemoglobin-vesicles (HbVs) are an artificial oxygen carrier encapsulating purified and concentrated Hb solution in liposomes. Because of the absence of a metHb-reducing enzymatic system in HbV, HbO2 gradually autoxidizes to form metHb. Wistar rats received HbV suspension (10 mL/kg body weight) intravenously. At the metHb level of around 50%, methylene blue [MB(+); 3,7-bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazinium chloride] was injected. The level of metHb quickly decreased to around 16% in 40 min, remaining for more than 5 h. In vitro mixing of HbV/MB(+) with RBCs recreated the in vivo metHb reduction, but not with plasma. NAD(P)H levels in RBCs decreased after metHb reduction. The addition of glucose facilitated metHb reduction. Liposome-encapsulated NAD(P)H, a model of RBC, reduced metHb in HbV in the presence of MB(+). These results indicate that (i) NAD(P)H in RBCs reacts with MB(+) to convert it to leukomethylene blue (MBH); (ii) MB(+) and MBH shuttle freely between RBC and HbV across the hydrophobic lipid membranes; and (iii) MBH is transferred into HbV and reduces metHb in HbV. Four other electron mediators with appropriate redox potentials appeared to be as effective as MB(+) was, indicating the possibility for further optimization of electron mediators. We established an indirect enzymatic metHb reducing system for HbV using unlimited endogenous electrons created in RBCs in combination with an effective electron mediator that prolongs the functional lifespan of HbV in blood circulation.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. We report herein on the preparation of a nanotechnology-based CO donor, CO-bound hemoglobin-vesicles (CO-HbV). We hypothesized that CO-HbV could have a therapeutic effect on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), an incurable lung fibrosis, that is thought to involve inflammation and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pulmonary fibril formation and respiratory function were quantitatively evaluated by measuring hydroxyproline levels and forced vital capacity, respectively, using a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model. CO-HbV suppressed the progression of pulmonary fibril formation and improved respiratory function compared to saline and HbV. The suppressive effect of CO-HbV on pulmonary fibrosis can be attributed to a decrease in ROS generation by inflammatory cells, NADPH oxidase 4 and the production of inflammatory cells, cytokines and transforming growth factor-β in the lung. This is the first demonstration of the inhibitory effect of CO-HbV on the progression of pulmonary fibrosis via the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of CO in the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model. CO-HbV has the potential for use in the treatment of, not only IPF, but also a variety of other ROS and inflammation-related disorders.

Abstract
Self-assembled systems from biodegradable amphiphilic polymers at the nanometer scale, such as nanotubes, nanoparticles, polymer micelles, nanogels, and polymersomes, have attracted much attention especially in biomedical fields. Among these nano-aggregates, polymersomes have attracted tremendous interests as versatile carriers due to their colloidal stability, tunable membrane properties and ability of encapsulating or integrating a broad range of drugs and molecules. Biodegradable block polymers, especially aliphatic polyesters such as polylactide, polyglycolide and poly (ε-caprolactone) have been widely used as biomedical materials for a long time to well fit the requirement of biomedical drug carriers. To have a precise control of the aggregation behavior of nano-aggregates, the more ordered polypeptide has been used to self-assemble into the drug carriers. In this review we focus on the study of polymersomes which also named pepsomes formed by polypeptide-based copolymers and attempt to clarify the polypeptide-based polymersomes from following aspects: synthesis and characterization of the polypeptide-based copolymers, preparation, multifunction and application of polypeptide-based polymersomes.

Abstract
A fibrinogen γ-chain (dodecapeptide HHLGGAKQAGDV, H12)-coated, adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-encapsulated liposome [H12-(ADP)-liposome] was designed to achieve optimal performance as a homeostatic agent and expected as a synthetic platelet alternative. For the purpose of efficient function as platelet substitute, H12-(ADP)-liposomes should potentially have both acceptable pharmacokinetic and biodegradable properties under conditions of an adaptation disease including thrombocytopenia induced by anticancer drugs. The aim of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of H12-(ADP)-liposomes in busulphan-induced thrombocytopenic rats using (14) C, (3) H double radiolabeled H12-(ADP)-liposomes, in which the encapsulated ADP and liposomal membrane (cholesterol) were labeled with (14) C and (3) H, respectively. After the administration of H12-(ADP)-liposomes, they were determined to be mainly distributed to the liver and spleen and disappeared from organs within 7 days after injection. The encapsulated ADP was mainly eliminated in the urine, whereas the outer membrane (cholesterol) was mainly eliminated in feces. The successive dispositions of the H12-(ADP)-liposomes were similar in both normal and thrombocytopenic rats. However, the kinetics of H12-(ADP)-liposomes in thrombocytopenic rats was more rapid, compared with the corresponding values for normal rats. These findings, which well reflect the clinical features of patients with anticancer drug-induced thrombocytopenia, provide useful information for the development of the H12-(ADP)-liposomes for future clinical use.

Abstract
The hemoglobin-vesicle (HbV) is an artificial oxygen carrier encapsulating a concentrated hemoglobin solution in a phospholipid vesicle (liposome). During or after transporting oxygen, macrophages capture HbVs in the reticuloendothelial system (RES) with an approximate circulation half-life of 3 days. Animal studies show transient splenohepatomegaly after large doses, but HbVs were completely degraded, and the components were excreted in a few weeks. If a blood substitute is used for emergency use until red blood cell transfusion becomes available or for temporary use such as a priming fluid for an extracorporeal circuit, then one option would be to remove HbVs from the circulating blood without waiting a few weeks for removal by the RES. Using a mixture of beagle dog whole blood and HbV, we tested the separation of HbV using a centrifugal Fresenius cell separator and an ultrafiltration system. The cell separator system separated the layers of blood cell components from the HbV-containing plasma layer by centrifugal force, and then the HbV was removed from plasma phase by the ultrafiltration system. The HbVs (250-280 nm) are larger than plasma proteins (< 22 nm diameter) but smaller than blood cell components (> 3 µm). The size of HbVs is advantageous to be separated from the original blood components, and the separated blood components can be returned to circulation.

Abstract
Hemoglobin vesicles (HbVs) could serve as a substitute for red blood cells (RBCs) in resuscitation from massive hemorrhage. A massive transfusion of RBCs can increase the risk of infection, which is not caused by contaminating micro-organisms in the transfused RBCs but by a breakdown of the host defense system. We previously found that complement activity was increased after resuscitation with HbVs at a putative dose in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock. It is known that complement system plays a key role in host defense in the embryonic stage. Therefore, the objective of this study was to address whether the suppression of bacterial infections in hemorrhagic shock rats was a result of increased complement activity after massive HbV transfusion. For this purpose, Escherichia coli were incubated with plasma samples obtained from a rat model of hemorrhagic shock resuscitated by HbVs or RBCs, and bacterial growth was determined under ex vivo conditions. As a result, E. coli growth was found to be suppressed by increased complement activity, mediated by the production of IgM from spleen. However, this antibacterial activity disappeared when the E. coli were treated with complement-inactivated plasma obtained from splenoctomized rats. In addition, the resuscitation of HbVs from hemorrhagic shock increased the survival rate and viable bacterial counts in blood in cecum ligation and puncture rats, a sepsis model. In conclusion, the resuscitation of HbVs in the rat model of hemorrhagic shock suppresses bacterial growth via complement activation induced by IgM.

Abstract
The hemoglobin vesicle (HbV) is an artificial oxygen carrier encapsulating a concentrated hemoglobin solution in a liposome of which the surface is covered with polyethylene glycol (PEG). It was recently reported that repeated injections of PEGylated liposomes induce the accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon, in which serum anti-PEG IgM plays an essential role. To examine this issue, we investigated whether HbV induces the ABC phenomenon in mice at a dose of 0.1 mg Hb/kg, a dose that is generally known to induce the ABC phenomenon, or at 1400 mg Hb/kg, which is proposed for clinical use. At 7 days after the first injection of nonlabeled HbV (0.1 mg Hb/kg), the mice received HbV in which the Hb had been labeled with (125)I. After a second injection, HbV was rapidly cleared from the circulation, and uptake clearances in liver and spleen were significantly increased. In contrast, at a dose of 1400 mg Hb/kg, the pharmacokinetics of HbV was negligibly affected by repeated injection. It is interesting to note that IgM against HbV was produced 7 days postinjection at both of the above doses, and their recognition site was determined to be 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine-N-PEG in HbV. These results suggest that a clinical dose of HbV does not induce the ABC phenomenon, and that suppression of ABC phenomenon is caused by the saturation of phagocytic processing by the mononuclear phagocyte system. Thus, we conclude that induction of the ABC phenomenon would not be an issue in the dose regimen used in clinical settings.
