Levels of sCD163 in women rheumatoid arthritis: Relationship with cardiovascular risk markers. CLINICA E INVESTIGACION EN ARTERIOSCLEROSIS : PUBLICACION OFICIAL DE LA SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE ARTERIOSCLEROSIS 2024:S0214-9168(24)00039-1. [PMID: 38729859 DOI: 10.1016/j.arteri.2024.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
AIM The soluble scavenger receptor differentiation antigen 163 (sCD163), a monocyte/macrophage activation marker, is related to cardiovascular mortality in the general population. This study aimed to evaluate their relationship between serum levels of sCD163 with cardiovascular risk indicators in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed on 80 women diagnosed with RA. The cardiovascular risks were determined using the lipid profile, metabolic syndrome, and QRISK3 calculator. For the assessment of RA activity, we evaluated the DAS28 with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR). The serum levels of sCD163 were determined by the ELISA method. Logistic regression models and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve were used to assess the association and predictive value of sCD163 with cardiovascular risk in RA patients. RESULTS Levels of sCD163 were significantly higher in RA patients with high sensitivity protein C-reactive to HDL-c ratio (CHR)≥0.121 (p=0.003), total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio>7% (p=0.004), LDL-c/HDL-c ratio>3% (p=0.035), atherogenic index of plasma>0.21 (p=0.004), cardiometabolic index (CMI)≥1.70 (p=0.005), and high DAS28-ESR (p=0.004). In multivariate analysis, levels of sCD163≥1107.3ng/mL were associated with CHR≥0.121 (OR=3.43, p=0.020), CMI≥1.70 (OR=4.25, p=0.005), total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio>7% (OR=6.63, p=0.044), as well as with DAS28-ESR>3.2 (OR=8.10, p=0.008). Moreover, levels of sCD163 predicted CHR≥0.121 (AUC=0.701), cholesterol total/HDL ratio>7% (AUC=0.764), and DAS28-ESR>3.2 (AUC=0.720). CONCLUSION Serum levels of sCD163 could be considered a surrogate of cardiovascular risk and clinical activity in RA.

Gruber R. How to explain the beneficial effects of platelet-rich plasma. Periodontol 2000 2024.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the platelet and leukocyte-containing plasmatic fraction of anticoagulated autologous blood. While evidence supporting the clinical use of PRP in dentistry is low, PRP is widely used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and dermatology. Its beneficial activity is commonly attributed to the growth factors released from platelets accumulating in PRP; however, evidence is indirect and not comprehensive. There is thus a demand to revisit PRP with respect to basic and translational science. This review is to (i) recapitulate protocols and tools to prepare PRP; (ii) to discuss the cellular and molecular composition of PRP with a focus on platelets, leukocytes, and the fibrin-rich extracellular matrix of coagulated plasma; and finally (iii) to discuss potential beneficial effects of PRP on a cellular and molecular level with an outlook on its current use in dentistry and other medical fields.

Abstract
Dietary consumption serves as the primary source of iron uptake, and erythropoiesis acts as a major regulator of systemic iron demand. In addition to intestinal iron absorption, macrophages play a crucial role in recycling iron from senescent red blood cells. The kidneys are responsible for the production of erythropoietin (Epo), which stimulates erythropoiesis, whereas the liver plays a central role in producing the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin. The transcriptional regulator hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)2α has a central role in the regulation of Epo, hepcidin, and intestinal iron absorption and therefore plays a crucial role in coordinating the tissue crosstalk to maintain systemic iron demands. However, the precise involvement of Hif2α in macrophages in terms of iron homeostasis remains uncertain. Our study demonstrates that deleting Hif2α in macrophages does not disrupt the expression of iron transporters or basal erythropoiesis. Mice lacking Hif2α in myeloid cells exhibited no discernible differences in hemodynamic parameters, including hemoglobin concentrations and erythrocyte count, when compared with littermate controls. This similarity was observed under conditions of both dietary iron deficiency and acute erythropoietic demand. Notably, we observed a significant increase in the expression of iron transporters in the duodenum during iron deficiency, indicating heightened iron absorption. Therefore, our findings suggest that the disruption of Hif2α in myeloid cells does not significantly impact systemic iron homeostasis under normal physiologic conditions. However, its disruption induces adaptive physiologic changes in response to elevated iron demand, potentially serving as a mechanism to sustain increased erythropoietic demand.

Abstract
Hemoglobin is essential for maintaining cellular bioenergetic homeostasis through its ability to bind and transport oxygen to the tissues. Besides its ability to transport oxygen, hemoglobin within erythrocytes plays an important role in cellular signaling and modulation of the inflammatory response either directly by binding gas molecules (NO, CO, and CO2) or indirectly by acting as their source. Once hemoglobin reaches the extracellular environment, it acquires several secondary functions affecting surrounding cells and tissues. By modulating the cell functions, this macromolecule becomes involved in the etiology and pathophysiology of various diseases. The up-to-date results disclose the impact of extracellular hemoglobin on (i) redox status, (ii) inflammatory state of cells, (iii) proliferation and chemotaxis, (iv) mitochondrial dynamic, (v) chemoresistance and (vi) differentiation. This review pays special attention to applied biomedical research and the use of non-vertebrate and vertebrate extracellular hemoglobin as a promising candidate for hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, as well as cell culture medium additive. Although recent experimental settings have some limitations, they provide additional insight into the modulatory activity of extracellular hemoglobin in various cellular microenvironments, such as stem or tumor cells niches.

Overview on hydrogen sulfide-mediated suppression of vascular calcification and hemoglobin/heme-mediated vascular damage in atherosclerosis. Redox Biol 2022; 57:102504.

Abstract
Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques with hemorrhage considerably contribute to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Calcification is the main characteristic of advanced atherosclerotic lesions and calcified aortic valve disease (CAVD). Lyses of red blood cells and hemoglobin (Hb) release occur in human hemorrhagic complicated lesions. During the interaction of cell-free Hb with plaque constituents, Hb is oxidized to ferric and ferryl states accompanied by oxidative changes of the globin moieties and heme release. Accumulation of both ferryl-Hb and metHb has been observed in atherosclerotic plaques. The oxidation hotspots in the globin chain are the cysteine and tyrosine amino acids associated with the generation of Hb dimers, tetramers and polymers. Moreover, fragmentation of Hb occurs leading to the formation of globin-derived peptides. A series of these pro-atherogenic cellular responses can be suppressed by hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Since H2S has been explored to exhibit a wide range of physiologic functions to maintain vascular homeostasis, it is not surprising that H2S may play beneficial effects in the progression of atherosclerosis. In the present review, we summarize the findings about the effects of H2S on atherosclerosis and CAVD with a special emphasis on the oxidation of Hb/heme in atherosclerotic plaque development and vascular calcification.

Abstract
Hemolysis is a ubiquitous pathology defined as premature red blood cell destruction within the circulation or local tissues. One of the most archetypal functions of macrophages is phagocytosis of damaged or extravasated red blood cells, preventing the extracellular release of toxic hemoglobin and heme. Upon erythrophagocytosis, spiking intracellular heme concentrations drive macrophage transformation into erythrophagocytes, leveraging antioxidative and iron recycling capacities to defend against hemolytic stress. This unique phenotype transformation is coordinated by a regulatory network comprising the transcription factors BACH1, SPI-C, NRF2, and ATF1. Erythrophagocytes negatively regulate inflammation and immunity and may modulate disease-specific outcomes in hemolytic anemia, wound healing, atherosclerosis, and cancer. In this opinion article, we outline the known and presumed functions of erythrophagocytes and their implications for therapeutic innovation and research.

Abstract
Heme is an erythrocyte-derived toxin that drives disease progression in hemolytic anemias, such as sickle cell disease. During hemolysis, specialized bone marrow-derived macrophages with a high heme-metabolism capacity orchestrate disease adaptation by removing damaged erythrocytes and heme-protein complexes from the blood and supporting iron recycling for erythropoiesis. Since chronic heme-stress is noxious for macrophages, erythrophagocytes in the spleen are continuously replenished from bone marrow-derived progenitors. Here, we hypothesized that adaptation to heme stress progressively shifts differentiation trajectories of bone marrow progenitors to expand the capacity of heme-handling monocyte-derived macrophages at the expense of the homeostatic generation of dendritic cells, which emerge from shared myeloid precursors. This heme-induced redirection of differentiation trajectories may contribute to hemolysis-induced secondary immunodeficiency. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing with directional RNA velocity analysis of GM-CSF-supplemented mouse bone marrow cultures to assess myeloid differentiation under heme stress. We found that heme-activated NRF2 signaling shifted the differentiation of bone marrow cells towards antioxidant, iron-recycling macrophages, suppressing the generation of dendritic cells in heme-exposed bone marrow cultures. Heme eliminated the capacity of GM-CSF-supplemented bone marrow cultures to activate antigen-specific CD4 T cells. The generation of functionally competent dendritic cells was restored by NRF2 loss. The heme-induced phenotype of macrophage expansion with concurrent dendritic cell depletion was reproduced in hemolytic mice with sickle cell disease and spherocytosis and associated with reduced dendritic cell functions in the spleen. Our data provide a novel mechanistic underpinning of hemolytic stress as a driver of hyposplenism-related secondary immunodeficiency. ![]()

Abstract
Secondary brain injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH-SBI) contributes to poor outcomes in patients after rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. The lack of diagnostic biomarkers and novel drug targets represent an unmet need. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and pathophysiological association between cerebrospinal fluid hemoglobin (CSF-Hb) and SAH-SBI. In a cohort of 47 patients, we collected daily CSF-samples within 14 days after aneurysm rupture. There was very strong evidence for a positive association between spectrophotometrically determined CSF-Hb and SAH-SBI. The accuracy of CSF-Hb to monitor for SAH-SBI markedly exceeded that of established methods (AUC: 0.89 [0.85-0.92]). Temporal proteome analysis revealed erythrolysis accompanied by an adaptive macrophage response as the two dominant biological processes in the CSF-space after aneurysm rupture. Ex-vivo experiments on the vasoconstrictive and oxidative potential of Hb revealed critical inflection points overlapping CSF-Hb thresholds in patients with SAH-SBI. Selective depletion and in-solution neutralization by haptoglobin or hemopexin efficiently attenuated the vasoconstrictive and lipid peroxidation activities of CSF-Hb. Collectively, the clinical association between high CSF-Hb levels and SAH-SBI, the underlying pathophysiological rationale, and the favorable effects of haptoglobin and hemopexin in ex-vivo experiments position CSF-Hb as a highly attractive biomarker and potential drug target.

Abstract
Clearance of red blood cells and hemoproteins is a key metabolic function of macrophages during hemolytic disorders and following tissue injury. Through this archetypical phagocytic function, heme is detoxified and iron is recycled to support erythropoiesis. Reciprocal interaction of heme metabolism and inflammatory macrophage functions may modify disease outcomes in a broad range of clinical conditions. We hypothesized that acute hemolysis and heme induce acute anti-inflammatory signals in liver macrophages. Using a macrophage-driven model of sterile liver inflammation, we showed that phenylhydrazine (PHZ)-mediated acute erythrophagocytosis blocked the anti-CD40 antibody-induced pathway of macrophage activation. This process attenuated the inflammatory cytokine release syndrome and necrotizing hepatitis induced by anti-CD40 antibody treatment of mice. We further established that administration of heme-albumin complexes specifically delivered heme to liver macrophages and replicated the anti-inflammatory effect of hemolysis. The anti-inflammatory heme-signal was induced in macrophages by an increased intracellular concentration of the porphyrin independently of iron. Overall, our work suggests that induction of heme-signaling strongly suppresses inflammatory macrophage function, providing protection against sterile liver inflammation.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemolytic disorder, defined by a point mutation in the β-globin gene. Stress conditions such as infection, inflammation, dehydration, and hypoxia trigger erythrocyte sickling. Sickled red blood cells (RBCs) hemolyze more rapidly, show impaired deformability, and increased adhesive properties to the endothelium. In a proinflammatory, pro-coagulative environment with preexisting endothelial dysfunction, sickled RBCs promote vascular occlusion. Hepatobiliary involvement related to the sickling process, such as an acute sickle hepatic crisis, is observed in about 10% of acute sickle cell crisis incidents. In mice, ligation of CD40 with an agonistic antibody leads to a macrophage activation in the liver, triggering a sequence of systemic inflammation, endothelial cell activation, thrombosis, and focal ischemia. We found that anti-CD40 antibody injection in sickle cell mice induces a systemic inflammatory and hemodynamic response with accelerated hemolysis, extensive vaso-occlusion, and large ischemic infarctions in the liver mimicking an acute hepatic crisis. Administration of the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) blocker, etanercept, and the heme scavenger protein, hemopexin attenuated end-organ damage. These data collectively suggest that anti-CD40 administration offers a novel acute liver crisis model in humanized sickle mice, allowing for evaluation of therapeutic proof-of-concept.

Abstract
During hemolysis, macrophages in the liver phagocytose damaged erythrocytes to prevent the toxic effects of cell-free hemoglobin and heme. It remains unclear how this homeostatic process modulates phagocyte functions in inflammatory diseases. Using a genetic mouse model of spherocytosis and single-cell RNA sequencing, we found that erythrophagocytosis skewed liver macrophages into an antiinflammatory phenotype that we defined as MarcohiHmoxhiMHC class IIlo erythrophagocytes. This phenotype transformation profoundly mitigated disease expression in a model of an anti-CD40-induced hyperinflammatory syndrome with necrotic hepatitis and in a nonalcoholic steatohepatitis model, representing 2 macrophage-driven sterile inflammatory diseases. We reproduced the antiinflammatory erythrophagocyte transformation in vitro by heme exposure of mouse and human macrophages, yielding a distinctive transcriptional signature that segregated heme-polarized from M1- and M2-polarized cells. Mapping transposase-accessible chromatin in single cells by sequencing defined the transcription factor NFE2L2/NRF2 as a critical driver of erythrophagocytes, and Nfe2l2/Nrf2 deficiency restored heme-suppressed inflammation. Our findings point to a pathway that regulates macrophage functions to link erythrocyte homeostasis with innate immunity.

Abstract
Haptoglobin (Hp) belongs to the family of acute-phase plasma proteins and represents the most important plasma detoxifier of hemoglobin (Hb). The basic Hp molecule is a tetrameric protein built by two α/β dimers. Each Hp α/β dimer is encoded by a single gene and is synthesized as a single polypeptide. Following post-translational protease-dependent cleavage of the Hp polypeptide, the α and β chains are linked by disulfide bridge(s) to generate the mature Hp protein. As human Hp gene is characterized by two common Hp1 and Hp2 alleles, three major genotypes can result (i.e., Hp1-1, Hp2-1, and Hp2-2). Hp regulates Hb clearance from circulation by the macrophage-specific receptor CD163, thus preventing Hb-mediated severe consequences for health. Indeed, the antioxidant and Hb binding properties of Hp as well as its ability to stimulate cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and to modulate the helper T-cell type 1 and type 2 balance significantly associate with a variety of pathogenic disorders (e.g., infectious diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer). Alternative functions of the variants Hp1 and Hp2 have been reported, particularly in the susceptibility and protection against infectious (e.g., pulmonary tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria) and non-infectious (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and obesity) diseases. Both high and low levels of Hp are indicative of clinical conditions: Hp plasma levels increase during infections, inflammation, and various malignant diseases, and decrease during malnutrition, hemolysis, hepatic disease, allergic reactions, and seizure disorders. Of note, the Hp:Hb complexes display heme-based reactivity; in fact, they bind several ferrous and ferric ligands, including O2, CO, and NO, and display (pseudo-)enzymatic properties (e.g., NO and peroxynitrite detoxification). Here, genetic, biochemical, biomedical, and biotechnological aspects of Hp are reviewed.

Abstract
Macrophages comprise a majority of the resident immune cells in adipose tissue (AT) and regulate both tissue homeostasis in the lean state and metabolic dysregulation in obesity. Since the AT environment rapidly changes based upon systemic energy status, AT macrophages (ATMs) must adapt phenotypically and metabolically. There is a distinct dichotomy in the polarization and bioenergetics of in vitro models, with M2 macrophages utilizing oxidative phosphorylation (OX PHOS) and M1 macrophages utilizing glycolysis. Early studies suggested differential polarization of ATMs, with M2-like macrophages predominant in lean AT and M1-like macrophages in obese AT. However, recent studies show that the phenotypic plasticity of ATMs is far more complicated, which is also reflected in their bioenergetics. Multiple ATM populations exist along the M2 to M1 continuum and appear to utilize both glycolysis and OX PHOS in obesity. The significance of the dual fuel bioenergetics is unclear and may be related to an intermediate polarization, their buffering capacity, or the result of a mixed population of distinct polarized ATMs. Recent evidence also suggests that ATMs of lean mice serve as a substrate buffer or reservoir to modulate lipid, catecholamine, and iron availability. Furthermore, recent models of weight loss and weight cycling reveal additional roles for ATMs in systemic metabolism. Evaluating ATM phenotype and intracellular metabolism together may more accurately illuminate the consequences of ATM accumulation in obese AT, lending further insight into obesity-related comorbidities in humans.

Abstract
Hemolysis and accumulation of cell-free hemoglobin (Hb) in the circulation or in confined tissue compartments such as the subarachnoid space is an important driver of disease. Haptoglobin is the Hb binding and clearance protein in human plasma and an efficient antagonist of Hb toxicity resulting from physiological red blood cell turnover. However, endogenous concentrations of haptoglobin are insufficient to provide protection against Hb-driven disease processes in conditions such as sickle cell anemia, sepsis, transfusion reactions, medical-device associated hemolysis, or after a subarachnoid hemorrhage. As a result, there is increasing interest in developing haptoglobin therapeutics to target 'toxic' cell-free Hb exposures. Here, we discuss key concepts of Hb toxicity and provide a perspective on the use of haptoglobin as a therapeutic protein.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Research over the past decade has shown that immunologic and metabolic pathways are intricately linked. This burgeoning field of immunometabolism includes intrinsic and extrinsic pathways and is known to be associated with obesity-accelerated metabolic disease. Intrinsic immunometabolism includes the study of fuel utilization and bioenergetic pathways that influence immune cell function. Extrinsic immunometabolism includes the study of immune cells and products that influence systemic metabolism. RECENT FINDINGS Th2 immunity, macrophage iron handling, adaptive immune memory, and epigenetic regulation of immunity, which all require intrinsic metabolic changes, play a role in systemic metabolism and metabolic function, linking the two arms of immunometabolism. Together, this suggests that targeting intrinsic immunometabolism can directly affect immune function and ultimately systemic metabolism. We highlight important questions for future basic research that will help improve translational research and provide therapeutic targets to help establish new treatments for obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Circulating macrophages recruited to the lung contribute to pulmonary vascular remodeling in various forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH). In this study we investigated a macrophage phenotype characterized by intracellular iron accumulation and expression of antioxidant (HO-1), vasoactive (ET-1), and proinflammatory (IL-6) mediators observed in the lung tissue of deceased sickle cell disease (SCD) patients with diagnosed PH. To this end, we evaluated an established rat model of group 5 PH that is simultaneously exposed to free hemoglobin (Hb) and hypobaric hypoxia (HX). Here, we tested the hypothesis that pulmonary vascular remodeling observed in human SCD with concomitant PH could be replicated and mechanistically driven in our rat model by a similar macrophage phenotype with iron accumulation and expression of a similar mixture of antioxidant (HO-1), vasoactive (ET-1), and inflammatory (IL-6) proteins. Our data suggest phenotypic similarities between pulmonary perivascular macrophages in our rat model and human SCD with PH, indicating a potentially novel maladaptive immune response to concomitant bouts of Hb and HX exposure. Moreover, by knocking out circulating macrophages with gadolinium trichloride (GdCl3), the response to combined Hb and hypobaric HX was significantly attenuated in rats, suggesting a critical role for macrophages in the exacerbation of SCD PH.

Abstract
It is well-recognized that there is a need for medicine to migrate to a platform of delivering preventative care based on an individual's genetic make-up. The US National Research Council, the National Institute of Health and the American Heart Association all support the concept of utilizing genomic information to enhance the clinical management of patients. It is believed this type of precision healthcare will revolutionize health management. This current attitude of some of the most respected institutes in healthcare sets the stage for the utilization of the haptoglobin (Hp) genotype to guide precision management in type 2 diabetics (DM). There are three main Hp genotypes: 1-1, 2-1, 2-2. The Hp genotype has been studied extensively in (DM) and from the accumulated data it is clear that Hp should be considered in all DM patients as an additional independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. In DM patients Hp2-2 generates five times increased risk of CVD compared to Hp1-1 and three times increased risk compared to Hp2-1. Data has also shown that carrying the Hp2-2 gene in DM compared to carrying an Hp1-1 genotype can increase the risk the microvascular complications of nephropathy and retinopathy. In addition, the Hp2-2 gene enhances post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) complications such as, in stent restenosis and need for additional revascularization during the first-year post PCI. Studies have demonstrated significant mitigation of CVD risk in Hp2-2 DM patients with administration of vitamin E and maintaining tight glycemic control. CVD is the leading cause of death and disability in DM as well-representing a huge financial burden. As such, evaluating the Hp genotype in DM patients can enhance the predictability and management of CVD risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Macrophages play a key role in granuloma formation with the T cells, having a significant impact on macrophage polarization (M1 and M2) and the cellular composition of the granuloma. This study evaluates macrophage polarization in granulomas in pulmonary sarcoidosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue specimens from the Department of Pathology biobank at the Masih Daneshvari Hospital were obtained. Paraffin sections from 10 sarcoidosis patients were compared with those from 12 cases of tuberculosis using immunohistochemical staining. These sections consisted of mediastinal lymph nodes and transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) for sarcoidosis patients versus pleural tissue, neck, axillary lymph nodes and TBLB for tuberculosis patients. The sections were stained for T-cells (CD4+, CD8+) and mature B lymphocytes (CD22+). CD14+ and CD68+ staining was used as a marker of M1 macrophages and CD163+ as a marker for M2 macrophages. RESULTS Immunohistochemical staining revealed a 4/1 ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T-cells in sarcoidosis granuloma sections and a 3/1 ratio in tuberculosis sections. There was no significance difference in single CD4+, CD8+, CD22+, CD14+ and CD68+ staining between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis sections. CD163 expression was significantly increased in sarcoidosis sections compared with those from tuberculosis subjects. CONCLUSION Enhanced CD163+ staining indicates a shift towards M2 macrophage subsets in granulomas from sarcoidosis patients. Further research is required to determine the functional role of M2 macrophages in the immunopathogenesis of sarcoidosis.

Abstract
Macrophages exert multiple important roles in iron metabolism. As scavengers, splenic and hepatic macrophages phagocytize and degrade senescent and damaged erythrocytes to recycle iron, predominantly for the production of hemoglobin in new erythrocytes. Splenic red pulp macrophages are specialized for iron recycling, with increased expression of proteins for the uptake of hemoglobin, breakdown of heme, and export of iron. Iron release from macrophages is closely regulated by the interaction of hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced by hepatocytes, with the macrophage iron exporter ferroportin. As regulators and effectors of antimicrobial host defense, macrophages employ multiple mechanisms to contain microbial infections by depriving microbes of iron. Macrophages also have an important trophic role in the bone marrow, supporting efficient erythropoiesis.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in the developed and developing countries, is prevalent in diabetes mellitus with 68% cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality. Epidemiological studies suggested inverse correlation between HDL and CVD occurrence. Therefore, low HDL concentration observed in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic individuals was thought to be one of the primary causes of increased risks of CVD. Efforts to raise HDL level via CETP inhibitors, Torcetrapib and Dalcetrapib, turned out to be disappointing in outcome studies despite substantial increases in HDL-C, suggesting that factors beyond HDL concentration may be responsible for the increased risks of CVD. Therefore, recent studies have focused more on HDL function than on HDL levels. The metabolic environment in diabetes mellitus condition such as hyperglycemia-induced advanced glycation end products, oxidative stress, and inflammation promote HDL dysfunction leading to greater risks of CVD. This review discusses dysfunctional HDL as one of the mechanisms of increased CVD risks in diabetes mellitus through adversely affecting components that support HDL function in cholesterol efflux and LDL oxidation. The dampening of reverse cholesterol transport, a key process that removes cholesterol from lipid-laden macrophages in the arterial wall, leads to increased risks of CVD in diabetic patients. Therapeutic approaches to keep diabetes under control may benefit patients from developing CVD.

Haptoglobin (Hp) binds hemoglobin (Hb) with high affinity and provides the primary defense against its toxicity after intravascular hemolysis. Neurons are exposed to extracellular Hb after CNS hemorrhage, and a therapeutic effect of Hp via Hb sequestration has been hypothesized. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that Hp protects neurons from Hb in primary mixed cortical cell cultures. Treatment with low micromolar concentrations of human Hb for 24 h resulted in loss of 10-20% of neurons without injuring glia. Concomitant treatment with Hp surprisingly increased neuronal loss five-sevenfold, with similar results produced by Hp 1-1 and 2-2 phenotypes. Consistent with a recent in vivo observation, neurons expressed the CD163 receptor for Hb and the Hb-Hp complex in these cultures. Hp reduced overall Hb uptake, directed it away from the astrocyte-rich CD163-negative glial monolayer, and decreased induction of the iron-binding protein ferritin. Hb-Hp complex neuronal toxicity, like that of Hb per se, was iron-dependent and reduced by deferoxamine and 2,2' bipyridyl. These results suggest that Hp increases the vulnerability of CD163+ neurons to Hb by permitting Hb uptake while attenuating the protective response of ferritin induction by glial cells.

Abstract
In Brief Prospective identification of individuals with diabetes who are at greatest risk for developing complications would have considerable public health importance by allowing appropriate resources to be focused on those who would benefit most from aggressive intervention. Haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute-phase protein that is crucial for the elimination of free hemoglobin and the neutralization of oxidative damage. In the past two decades, associations have been made between polymorphisms in Hp and complications arising from diabetes. Individuals with polymorphism in Hp have been shown to have significantly higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This review summarizes the current literature on the role of Hp in health and disease, with a focus on diabetes.

Abstract
Hemolysis, which occurs in many disease states, can trigger a diverse pathophysiologic cascade that is related to the specific biochemical activities of free Hb and its porphyrin component heme. Normal erythropoiesis and concomitant removal of senescent red blood cells (RBC) from the circulation occurs at rates of approximately 2 × 106 RBCs/second. Within this physiologic range of RBC turnover, a small fraction of hemoglobin (Hb) is released into plasma as free extracellular Hb. In humans, there is an efficient multicomponent system of Hb sequestration, oxidative neutralization and clearance. Haptoglobin (Hp) is the primary Hb-binding protein in human plasma, which attenuates the adverse biochemical and physiologic effects of extracellular Hb. The cellular receptor target of Hp is the monocyte/macrophage scavenger receptor, CD163. Following Hb-Hp binding to CD163, cellular internalization of the complex leads to globin and heme metabolism, which is followed by adaptive changes in antioxidant and iron metabolism pathways and macrophage phenotype polarization. When Hb is released from RBCs within the physiologic range of Hp, the potential deleterious effects of Hb are prevented. However, during hyper-hemolytic conditions or with chronic hemolysis, Hp is depleted and Hb readily distributes to tissues where it might be exposed to oxidative conditions. In such conditions, heme can be released from ferric Hb. The free heme can then accelerate tissue damage by promoting peroxidative reactions and activation of inflammatory cascades. Hemopexin (Hx) is another plasma glycoprotein able to bind heme with high affinity. Hx sequesters heme in an inert, non-toxic form and transports it to the liver for catabolism and excretion. In the present review we discuss the components of physiologic Hb/heme detoxification and their potential therapeutic application in a wide range of hemolytic conditions.

Abstract
Background: Haptoglobin (Hp) prevents hemoglobin (Hb) extravasation and attenuates Hb induced tissue oxidation and vasoconstriction. Small animal models such as mouse, rat and guinea pig appear to demonstrate proof-of-concept for Hb neutralization by Hp in diverse pre-clinical conditions. However, these species differ significantly from humans in the clearance of Hb:Hp and demonstrate long persistence of circulating Hb:Hp complexes. Objective: The focus of this study is to understand Hb:Hp clearance in a non-rodent species. In contrast to rodents, dogs maintain high plasma Hp concentrations comparable to humans and demonstrate more rapid clearance of Hb:Hp when compared to rodent species, therefore dogs may represent a relevant species to evaluate Hb:Hp pharmacokinetics and cellular clearance. Results: In this study we show, that like human macrophages, dog peripheral blood monocyte derived macrophages express a glucocorticoid inducible endocytic clearance pathways with a high specificity for the Hb:Hp complex. Evaluating the Beagle dog as a non-rodent model species we provide the first pharmacokinetic parameter estimates of free Hb and Hb:Hp complexes. The data demonstrate a significantly reduced volume of distribution (Vc) for Hb:Hp compared to free Hb, increased maximum plasma concentrations and areas under plasma concentration time curves (Cmax and AUC). Significantly reduced total body clearance (CL) and a longer terminal half-life (t1/2) of approximately 12 h were also observed for the Hb:Hp complex. Distribution and clearance were identical for dimeric and multimeric Hb:Hp complexes. We found no significant effect of a high-dose glucocorticoid treatment protocol on Hb:Hp pharmacokinetic parameter estimates. Conclusion: Collectively, our study supports the dog as a non-rodent animal model to study pharmacological and pharmacokinetic aspects of Hb clearance systems and apply the model to studying Hp as a therapeutic in diseases of hemolysis.

Abstract
Extracellular hemoglobin (Hb) has been recognized as a disease trigger in hemolytic conditions such as sickle cell disease, malaria, and blood transfusion. In vivo, many of the adverse effects of free Hb can be attenuated by the Hb scavenger acute-phase protein haptoglobin (Hp). The primary physiologic disturbances that can be caused by free Hb are found within the cardiovascular system and Hb-triggered oxidative toxicity toward the endothelium has been promoted as a potential mechanism. The molecular mechanisms of this toxicity as well as of the protective activities of Hp are not yet clear. Within this study, we systematically investigated the structural, biochemical, and cell biologic nature of Hb toxicity in an endothelial cell system under peroxidative stress. We identified two principal mechanisms of oxidative Hb toxicity that are mediated by globin degradation products and by modified lipoprotein species, respectively. The two damage pathways trigger diverse and discriminative inflammatory and cytotoxic responses. Hp provides structural stabilization of Hb and shields Hb's oxidative reactions with lipoproteins, providing dramatic protection against both pathways of toxicity. By these mechanisms, Hp shifts Hb's destructive pseudo-peroxidative reaction to a potential anti-oxidative function during peroxidative stress.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The hemoglobin (Hb) scavenger receptor, CD163, is a macrophage-specific protein and the upregulated expression of this receptor is one of the major changes in the macrophage switch to alternative activated phenotypes in inflammation. Accordingly, a high CD163 expression in macrophages is a characteristic of tissues responding to inflammation. The scavenging of the oxidative and proinflammatory Hb leading to stimulation of the heme-oxygenase-1 and production of anti-inflammatory heme metabolites indicates that CD163 thereby indirectly contributes to the anti-inflammatory response. RECENT ADVANCES In addition to this biological role in inflammation, CD163 is a potential inflammation biomarker and a therapeutic target. The biomarker form of CD163 is the soluble plasma CD163 that arises from the increased shedding of CD163 mediated by the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) cleaving enzyme. This explains that a steadily increasing literature documents that the plasma level of soluble CD163 is increased in a large spectrum of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. The nonshed membrane form of CD163 in macrophages constitutes a target for drugs to be directed to macrophages in inflammation. This approach has been used in an animal inflammation model to highly increase the apparent therapeutic index of anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid drug that was coupled to an anti-CD163 antibody. Furthermore, other recent animal data, which indirectly involve CD163 in macrophages, demonstrate that injections of haptoglobin attenuate Hb-induced damages after blood transfusion. CRITICAL ISSUES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS The diagnostic and therapeutic properties of CD163 await further clinical studies and regulatory approval before implementation in the clinic.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) has multiple pathophysiologic effects when released into the intravascular space during hemolysis. The extracellular effects of Hb have resulted in novel models of toxicity, which help to explain endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular complications that accompany genetic hemolytic anemias, malaria, blood transfusion, and atherosclerosis. The majority of models focus on nitric oxide (NO) depletion; however, in local tissue environments, Hb can also act as a pro-oxidant and inflammatory agent. This can alter cellular differentiation with the potential to deviate immune responses. The understanding of these mechanisms set in the context of natural scavenger and detoxification systems may accelerate the development of novel treatment strategies.

Abstract
Objective—
Haptoglobin (Hp) protein is responsible for hemoglobin clearance after intra-plaque hemorrhage. Hp gene exists as Hp-1 and Hp-2 alleles and the phenotypes show important molecular heterogeneity. We tested the hypothesis that hemoglobin clearance may be deficient in diabetic atheroma from patients with Hp2-2, triggering increased oxidative, inflammatory, and angiogenic patterns compared with controls.
Methods and Results—
Forty patients with diabetes mellitus were genotyped and their peripheral plaques compared after atherectomy. Plaque hemorrhage, iron content, hemoglobin-binding protein CD163, and heme-oxygenase-1 were quantified. Oxidative, inflammatory, and angiogenic patterns were evaluated by measuring myeloperoxidase, interleukin-10, macrophages, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, smooth muscle actin, and plaque neovascularization (CD34/CD31). Plaques with Hp2-2 (n=7) had increased hemorrhage (
P
<0.005), iron content (
P
<0.001), and reduced CD163 expression (
P
<0.002) compared with controls (n=14). Hp2-2 plaques had increased heme-oxygenase-1 protein (
P
<0.02), myeloperoxidase gene (
P
<0.05), and protein (
P
<0.0001). Anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 gene (
P
<0.04), and protein expressions (
P
<0.0001) were decreased in Hp2-2. Finally, macrophage (
P
<0.0001), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (
P
=0.001), smooth muscle actin (
P
=0.002) scores, and neovessels density (
P
<0.0001) were increased in Hp2-2.
Conclusion—
Genotype-dependent impairment of hemoglobin clearance after intra-plaque hemorrhage is associated with increased oxidative, inflammatory, and angiogenic response in human diabetic atherosclerosis.

Abstract
As a principal aspect of their scavenging function, splenic and hepatic macrophages phagocytize and degrade senescent and damaged erythrocytes to recover iron, mainly for the production of hemoglobin in new erythrocytes but also for other carriers and enzymes requiring iron. Splenic red pulp macrophages are specialized for iron recycling with increased expression of proteins for the uptake of hemoglobin, breakdown of heme and the export of iron. In humans, recycling macrophages contribute the majority of the iron flux into extracellular fluid, exceeding the contribution of dietary iron absorption and release of stored iron from hepatocytes. Iron release from macrophages is closely regulated by the interaction of hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced by hepatocytes, with the macrophage iron exporter ferroportin. In addition to their homeostatic role, macrophages employ multiple mechanisms to contain microbial infections by depriving microbes of iron. This review discusses the iron-scavenging function of macrophages in the context of iron homeostasis and host defense.
