Acellular hemoglobins developed as oxygen bridging agents with volume expanding properties ("blood substitutes") are prone to autoxidation and oxidant-mediated structural changes in circulation. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide and either ascorbate or urate we show that ferric hemoglobin functions as a true enzymatic peroxidase. The activity saturates with both substrates and is linearly dependent on protein concentration. The activity is enhanced at low pH with a pKa of 4.7, consistent with protonation of the ferryl species (Fe(IV)-OH) as the active intermediate. To test whether these redox reactions define its behaviour in vivo we exchanged transfused guinea pigs with 50% polymerized bovine Hb (PolyHbBv) and monitored plasma levels of endogenous ascorbate and urate. Immediately after transfusion, met PolyHbBv levels increased up to 30% of total Hb and remained at this level during the first 24 h post transfusion. Plasma ascorbate decreased by 50% whereas urate levels remained unchanged after transfusion. A simple kinetic model, assuming that ascorbate was a more active ferric heme reductase and peroxidase substrate than urate, was consistent with the in vivo data. The present finding confirms the primary and secondary roles of ascorbate and urate respectively in maintaining the oxidative stability of infused Hb. 相似文献

Previous studies on bovine hemoglobin (HbBv) have suggested amino acid substitutions, which might introduce into human hemoglobin (HbA) functional characteristics of HbBv, namely a low intrinsic oxygen affinity regulated by Cl(-). Accordingly, we have constructed and characterized a multiple mutant, PB5, [beta(V1M + H2 Delta + T4I + P5A + A76K)] replacing four amino acid residues of HbA with those present at structurally analogous positions in HbBv, plus an additional substitution, beta T4I, which does not occur in either HbBv or HbA. This 'pseudobovine' hemoglobin has oxygen binding properties very similar to those of HbBv: the P(50) of HbA, PB5 and HbBv in the absence of Cl(-) are 1.6, 4.6 and 4.8 torr, respectively, and in 100 mM Cl(-) are 3.7, 10.5 and 12 torr, respectively. Moreover, PB5 has 3-fold slower autoxidation rate compared to HbA and HbBv. These are desirable characteristics for a human hemoglobin to be considered for use as a clinical artificial oxygen carrier. Although the functional properties of PB5 and HbBv are similar, van't Hoff plots indicate that the two hemoglobins interact differently with water, suggesting that factors regulating the R to T equilibrium are not the same in the two proteins. A further indication that PB5 is not a functional mimic of HbBv derives from PB5(control), a human hemoglobin with the same substitutions as PB5, except the beta T4I replacement. PB5(control) has a high oxygen affinity (P(50)=2.3 torr) in the absence of Cl(-), but retains the Cl(-) effect of PB5. The Cl(-) regulation of oxygen affinity in PB5 involves lysine residues at beta 8 and beta 76. PB4, which has the same substitutions as PB5 except beta A76K, and PB6, which has all the substitutions of PB5 plus beta K8Q, both have a low intrinsic oxygen affinity, like HbBv and PB5, but exhibit a decreased sensitivity to Cl(-). Since HbBv has lysine residues at both beta 8 and beta 76, these results imply that Cl(-) regulation in HbBv likewise involves these two residues. The mechanism responsible for the low intrinsic oxygen affinity of HbBv remains unclear. It is suggested that residues peculiar to HbBv at the alpha(1)beta(1) interface may play a role. 相似文献

Two "blood substitutes," a diaspirin cross-linked human hemoglobin [bis(3,5 dibromosalicyl)fumarate, DBBF-Hb] and a bovine polymerized hemoglobin (PolyHbBv), advanced to clinical trials, are used in this study. Previously, we have shown that injection of DBBF-Hb into the rat circulation produces venular leakage and intestinal epithelial disruption. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PolyHbBv, currently approved for veterinary use in the United States, shows similar effects. In anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, the mesenteric microvasculature was perfused with DBBF-Hb (n = 6), PolyHbBv (n = 5), cyanomet Hb (CNmet-DBBF-Hb), or HEPES-buffered saline with 0.5% bovine serum albumin (HBS-BSA) (controls, n = 7) for 10 min, followed by FITC-albumin for 3 min, and then fixed for microscopy. For DBBF-Hb, the mean leak number per micrometer venule length [2.41 +/- 0.33 (+/-SE) x 10(-3)] was significantly greater than for PolyHbBv (0.53 +/- 0.14 x 10(-3)), CNmet-DBBF-Hb (0.36 +/- 0.14 x 10(-3)), and HBS-BSA (0.12 +/- 0.08 x 10(-3)) (P < 0.01). Corresponding quantities for leak area were 0.10 +/- 0.03, 0.010 +/- 0.003, 0.005 +/- 0.003, and 0.02 +/- 0.02 microm(2)/microm. In rats injected with DBBF-Hb (n = 8), intestinal epithelial integrity was significantly compromised compared with those injected with PolyHbBv (n = 5) or saline (n = 6). These results indicate that intravascular PolyHbBv produces significantly less disruption of the intestinal exchange barrier than does DBBF-Hb, probably because the heme is not so easily oxidized. 相似文献

To determine the contribution of circulatory convection to tissue oxygen supply in animals of Daphnia magna, heart rate ( f(H)), in-vivo Hb oxygen-saturation ( S(Hb)) and NADH fluorescence intensity ( I(NADH)) as a measure of the tissue oxygenation state were simultaneously measured using digital motion analysis, microabsorption spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy. In addition, the relationship between stroke volume and body size was established. Groups of differently sized animals (small: 1.4-1.6 mm, medium: 2.7-2.9 mm, large: 3.3 mm) with either low (Hb-poor) or high Hb concentration (Hb-rich) in the hemolymph were exposed to a gradual decrease in ambient oxygen partial pressure ( P(O2amb)) between normoxia and anoxia. In all groups, f(H) increased in response to progressive hypoxia. The hypoxic maximum in f(H) was highest in medium-sized Hb-poor animals, whereas perfusion rate increased continuously with increasing body size in Hb-poor and Hb-rich animals. The P(O2amb) at which Hb in the heart region was half-saturated (in-vivo P(50)) was higher in medium-sized (Hb-poor: 3.2 kPa, Hb-rich: 2.0 kPa) than in small (Hb-poor: 2.1 kPa, Hb-rich: 1.5 kPa) and large animals (Hb-poor: 1.9 kPa). The in-vivo P(50) was always lower in Hb-rich than in Hb-poor animals. The I(NADH) indicated an impairment of tissue oxygenation starting at higher critical P(O2amb) with increasing body size and with lower Hb concentration. Model calculations suggest that at the respective critical P(O2amb), circulatory convection delivers less than half of the oxygen demand in Hb-poor animals. In contrast, in Hb-rich animals, the contribution of circulatory convection to tissue oxygen supply at respective critical P(O2amb) was much greater due to the higher concentration of Hb. 相似文献

Human α-hemoglobin stabilizing protein (AHSP) is a conserved mammalian erythroid protein that facilitates the production of Hemoglobin A by stabilizing free α-globin. AHSP rapidly binds to ferrous α with association (k'(AHSP)) and dissociation (k(AHSP)) rate constants of ≈10 μm(-1) s(-1) and 0.2 s(-1), respectively, at pH 7.4 at 22 °C. A small slow phase was observed when AHSP binds to excess ferrous αCO. This slow phase appears to be due to cis to trans prolyl isomerization of the Asp(29)-Pro(30) peptide bond in wild-type AHSP because it was absent when αCO was mixed with P30A and P30W AHSP, which are fixed in the trans conformation. This slow phase was also absent when met(Fe(3+))-α reacted with wild-type AHSP, suggesting that met-α is capable of rapidly binding to either Pro(30) conformer. Both wild-type and Pro(30)-substituted AHSPs drive the formation of a met-α hemichrome conformation following binding to either met- or oxy(Fe(2+))-α. The dissociation rate of the met-α·AHSP complex (k(AHSP) ≈ 0.002 s(-1)) is ~100-fold slower than that for ferrous α·AHSP complexes, resulting in a much higher affinity of AHSP for met-α. Thus, in vivo, AHSP acts as a molecular chaperone by rapidly binding and stabilizing met-α hemichrome folding intermediates. The low rate of met-α dissociation also allows AHSP to have a quality control function by kinetically trapping ferric α and preventing its incorporation into less stable mixed valence Hemoglobin A tetramers. Reduction of AHSP-bound met-α allows more rapid release to β subunits to form stable fully, reduced hemoglobin dimers and tetramers. 相似文献

Biochemical characterization and ligand binding properties of neuroglobin, a novel member of the globin family 总被引:41,自引:0,他引:41

Neuroglobin is a recently discovered member of the globin superfamily that is suggested to enhance the O(2) supply of the vertebrate brain. Spectral measurements with human and mouse recombinant neuroglobin provide evidence for a hexacoordinated deoxy ferrous (Fe(2+)) form, indicating a His-Fe(2+)-His binding scheme. O(2) or CO can displace the endogenous protein ligand, which is identified as the distal histidine by mutagenesis. The ferric (Fe(3+)) form of neuroglobin is also hexacoordinated with the protein ligand E7-His and does not exhibit pH dependence. Flash photolysis studies show a high recombination rate (k(on)) and a slow dissociation rate (k(off)) for both O(2) and CO, indicating a high intrinsic affinity for these ligands. However, because the rate-limiting step in ligand combination with the deoxy hexacoordinated form involves the dissociation of the protein ligand, O(2) and CO binding is suggested to be slow in vivo. Because of this competition, the observed O(2) affinity of recombinant human neuroglobin is average (1 torr at 37 degrees C). Neuroglobin has a high autoxidation rate, resulting in an oxidation at 37 degrees C by air within a few minutes. The oxidation/reduction potential of mouse neuroglobin (E'(o) = -129 mV) lies within the physiological range. Under natural conditions, recombinant mouse neuroglobin occurs as a monomer with disulfide-dependent formation of dimers. The biochemical and kinetic characteristics are discussed in view of the possible functions of neuroglobin in the vertebrate brain. 相似文献

Human hemoglobin (Hb) conjugated to benzene tetracarboxylate substituted dextran produces a polymeric Hb (Dex-BTC-Hb) with similar oxygen affinity to that of red blood cells (P(50)=28-29 mm Hg). Under physiological conditions, the oxygen affinity (P(50)) of Dex-BTC-Hb is 26 mm Hg, while that of native purified human HbA(0) is 14 mm Hg, but it exhibits a slight reduction in cooperativity (n(50)), Bohr effect, and lacks sensitivity to inositol hexaphosphate (IHP), when compared to HbA(0). Oxygen-binding kinetics, measured by rapid mixing stopped-flow method showed comparable oxygen dissociation and association rates for both HbA(0) and Dex-BTC-Hb. The rate constant for NO-mediated oxidation of the oxy form of Dex-BTC-Hb, which is governed by NO entry to the heme pocket, was reduced to half of the value obtained for HbA(0). Moreover, Dex-BTC-Hb is only slightly more sensitive to oxidative reactions than HbA(0), as shown by about 2-fold increase in autoxidation, and slightly higher H(2)O(2) reaction and heme degradation rates. Dextran-BTC-based modification of Hb produced an oxygen-carrying compound with increased oxygen release rates, decreased oxygen affinity and reduced nitric oxide scavenging, desirable properties for a viable blood substitute. However, the reduction in the allosteric function of this protein and the lack of apparent quaternary T-->R transition may hinder its physiological role as an oxygen transporter. 相似文献

A hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carrier was successfully transfused into rats. An ultrapure lipid-free bovine Hb was prepared by hypotonic dialysis and ultrafiltration. The Hb was polymerized with glutaraldehyde and the P50 was 24.3 mm Hg. On the basis of immunological analysis, immuno-dot blot, the Hb preparations were not antigenic. A second transfusion produced no adverse immunological side effects. A right shift in P50 was obtained by further treatment of polymerized Hb with inositol hexaphosphate; however, this Hb preparation was unsuitable for transfusion as all animals died within a few minutes. A 30% exchange transfusion in rats with the polymerized bovine Hb resulted in a 100% survival of all animals. P50 values of treated animals were reduced by about 2 mm Hg for 14 days. The Hb product circulated for 14 days as determined by 51Cr labeling. Ultrapure bovine Hb has the potential to circulate and carry oxygen in rats and causes no immunological side effects. 相似文献

Hemoglobin (Hb) was immobilized on glassy carbon (GC) electrode by a kind of synthetic water-soluble polymer, poly-alpha,beta-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-aspartamide] (PHEA). A pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks was achieved, which reflected the direct electron-transfer of the Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple of Hb. The formal potential (E degrees'), the apparent coverage (Gamma(*)) and the electron-transfer rate constant (k(s)) were calculated by integrating cyclic voltammograms experimental data. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated the morphology of Hb-PHEA film very different from the Hb and PHEA films. Ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy showed Hb in PHEA film remained its secondary structure similar to the native state. In respect that the immobilized protein remained its biocatalytic activity to the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), a kind of mediator-free biosensor for H(2)O(2) could be developed. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)(app)) was estimated to be 18.05 microM. The biosensor exhibited rapid electrochemical response and good stability. Furthermore, uric acid (UA), ascorbic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA) had little interferences with the amperometric signal of H(2)O(2), which provide the perspective of this H(2)O(2) sensor to be used in biological environments. 相似文献

The oxygen transport capacity of phospholipid vesicles encapsulating purified Hb (HbV) produced with a Po(2) at which Hb is 50% saturated (P 50 ) of 8 (HbV(8)) and 29 mmHg (HbV(29)) was investigated in the hamster chamber window model by using microvascular measurements to determine oxygen delivery during extreme hemodilution. Two isovolemic hemodilution steps were performed with 5% recombinant albumin (rHSA) until Hct was 35% of baseline. Isovolemic exchange was continued using HbV suspended in rHSA solution to a total [Hb] of 5.7 g/dl in blood. P(50) was modified by coencapsulating pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Final Hct was 11% for the HbV groups, with a plasma [Hb] of 2.1 +/- 0.1 g/dl after exchange with HbV(8) or HbV(29). A reference group was hemodiluted to Hct 11% with only rHSA. All groups showed stable blood pressure and heart rate. Arterial oxygen tensions were significantly higher than baseline for the HbV groups and the rHSA group and significantly lower for the HbV groups compared with the rHSA group. Blood pressure was significantly higher for the HbV(8) group compared with the HbV(29) group. Arteriolar and venular blood flows were significantly higher than baseline for the HbV groups. Microvascular oxygen delivery and extraction were similar for the HbV groups but lower for the rHSA group (P < 0.05). Venular and tissue Po(2) were statistically higher for the HbV(8) vs. the HbV(29) and rHSA groups (P < 0.05). Improved tissue Po(2) is obtained when red blood cells deliver oxygen in combination with a high- rather than low-affinity oxygen carrier. 相似文献

Alternate adsorption of negatively charged Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles from their pH 8.0 aqueous dispersions and positively charged hemoglobin (Hb) from its pH 5.5 buffers on solid substrates resulted in the assembly of {Fe(3)O(4)/Hb}(n) layer-by-layer films. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), UV-vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to monitor and confirm the film growth. A pair of well-defined, nearly reversible CV peaks for HbFe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples was observed for {Fe(3)O(4)/Hb}(n) films on pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes. Although the multilayered films grew linearly with the number of Fe(3)O(4)/Hb bilayers (n) and the amount of Hb adsorbed in each bilayer was generally the same, the electroactive Hb could only extend to 6 bilayers. This indicates that only those Hb molecules in the first few bilayers closest to the electrode surface are electroactive. The electrochemical parameters such as the apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k(s)) were estimated by square wave voltammetry (SWV) and nonlinear regression. The Soret absorption band position of Hb in {Fe(3)O(4)/Hb}(6) films showed that Hb in the films retained its near native structure in the medium pH range. The {Fe(3)O(4)/Hb}(6) film electrodes also showed good biocatalytic activity toward reduction of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, trichloroacetic acid, and nitrite. The electrochemical reduction overpotentials of these substrates were lowered significantly by {Fe(3)O(4)/Hb}(n) films. 相似文献

Three "blood substitutes," a diaspirin cross-linked human hemoglobin (DBBF-Hb), a bovine polymerized hemoglobin (PolyHbBv), and a human polymerized hemoglobin (O-R-PolyHbA(0)), that have undergone clinical trials are used in this study. Previously, we showed in the rat that coadministration of sodium selenite (Na(2)SeO(3)) and DBBF-Hb significantly decreased mesenteric venular leakage and epithelial disruption produced by DBBF-Hb alone but did not reduce mast cell degranulation unless given orally. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Na(2)SeO(3) produced similar beneficial responses when used with PolyHbBv and O-R-PolyHbA(0). In anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, the mesenteric microvasculature was perfused with PolyHbBv or O-R-PolyHbA(0), with and without Na(2)SeO(3) in the perfusate and suffusate, for 10 min, followed by FITC-albumin for 3 min, and then fixed for microscopy. Na(2)SeO(3) did not reduce leak number or area in preparations perfused with PolyHbBv and only reduced leak number (but not significantly) in preparations perfused with O-R-PolyHbA(0). Na(2)SeO(3) significantly increased mesenteric mast cell degranulation and impaired epithelial integrity in animals treated with PolyHbBv. In vitro, Na(2)SeO(3) significantly reduced the oxidation rate of DBBF-Hb in the presence of oxidants, had little effect on PolyHbBv, and increased the oxidation rate of O-R-PolyHbA(0). These results suggest that Na(2)SeO(3) moderates hemoglobin-induced damage, at least partly, through its redox interactions with the heme sites in the hemoglobin molecules studied and that accessibility of the heme site to Na(2)SeO(3) governs those interactions. 相似文献

We investigated cellular injury and death induced by ultrapure human Hb (HbA(0)) and its diaspirin cross-linked derivative DBBF-Hb in normal and glutathione (GSH)-depleted bovine aortic endothelial cells subjected to hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). HbA(0) underwent extensive degradation and heme loss, whereas DBBF-Hb persisted longer in its ferryl (Fe(4+)) form. The formation of ferryl HbA(0) or ferryl DBBF-Hb was associated with a significant decrease in endothelial cell GSH compared with the addition of H(2)O(2) or Hbs alone. This effect was inhibited by catalase, but not by superoxide dismutase or deferoxamine mesylate. The presence of HbA(0) and DBBF-Hb reduced H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis, as measured by cell morphology, annexin V binding assay, and caspase inhibition, consistent with the ability to consume H(2)O(2) in an enzyme-like fashion. However, the pattern of cell death and injury produced by HbA(0) and DBBF-Hb appeared to be distinctly different among proteins as well as among cells with and without GSH. These findings may have important implications for the use of cell-free Hb as oxygen therapeutics in patients with coexisting pathologies who may lack antioxidant protective mechanisms. 相似文献

Ferrous oxygenated (Fe(II)O2) hemoglobins (Hb's) and myoglobins (Mb's) have been shown to react very rapidly with NO, yielding NO3(-) and the ferric heme-protein derivative (Fe(III)), by means of the ferric heme-bound peroxynitrite intermediate (Fe(III)OONO), according to the minimum reaction scheme: Fe(II)O2 + NO (k(on))--> Fe(III)OONO (h)--> Fe(III) + NO3(-). For most Hb's and Mb's, the first step (indicated by k(on)) is rate limiting, the overall reaction following a bimolecular behavior. By contrast, the rate of isomerization and dissociation of Fe(III)OONO (indicated by h) is rate limiting in NO scavenging by Fe(II)O2 murine neuroglobin, thus the overall reaction follows a monomolecular behavior. Here, we report the characterization of the NO scavenging reaction by Fe(II)O2 truncated Hb GlbO from Mycobacterium leprae. Values of k(on) (=2.1x10(6) M(-1) s(-1)) and h (=3.4 s(-1)) for NO scavenging by Fe(II)O2 M. leprae GlbO have been determined at pH 7.3 and 20.0 degrees C, the rate of Fe(III)OONO decay (h) is rate limiting. The Fe(III)OONO intermediate has been characterized by optical absorption spectroscopy in the Soret region. These results have been analyzed in parallel with those of monomeric and tetrameric globins as well as of flavoHb and discussed with regard to the three-dimensional structure of mycobacterial truncated Hbs and their proposed role in protection from nitrosative stress. 相似文献

Hemoglobins dioxygenate nitric oxide with high fidelity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Distantly related members of the hemoglobin (Hb) superfamily including red blood cell Hb, muscle myoglobin (Mb) and the microbial flavohemoglobin (flavoHb) dioxygenate nitric oxide (.NO). The reaction serves important roles in .NO metabolism and detoxification throughout the aerobic biosphere. Analysis of the stoichiometric product nitrate shows greater than 99% double O-atom incorporation from Hb(18)O(2), Mb(18)O(2) and flavoHb(18)O(2) demonstrating a conserved high fidelity .NO dioxygenation mechanism. Whereas, reactions of .NO with the structurally unrelated Turbo cornutus MbO(2) or free superoxide radical (-O.(2)) yield sub-stoichiometric nitrate showing low fidelity O-atom incorporation. These and other results support a .NO dioxygenation mechanism involving (1) rapid reaction of .NO with a Fe(III-)O.(2) intermediate to form Fe(III-)OONO and (2) rapid isomerization of the Fe(III-)OONO intermediate to form nitrate. A sub-microsecond isomerization event is hypothesized in which the O-O bond homolyzes to form a protein caged [Fe(IV)O .NO(2)] intermediate and ferryl oxygen attacks .NO(2) to form nitrate. Hb functions as a .NO dioxygenase by controlling O(2) binding and electrochemistry, guiding .NO diffusion and reaction, and shielding highly reactive intermediates from solvent water and biomolecules. 相似文献

Stroma-free hemoglobin (Hb) has been modified by pyridoxylation and followed by polymerization with glutaraldehyde as a blood substitute. Nevertheless, the reaction rate of pyridoxylated Hb (PLP-Hb) with glutaraldehyde is too fast to control its molecular weight distribution. Additionally, it was reported that glutaraldehyde is cytotoxic even at low doses. To overcome these problems, another aldehyde, beta-hydroxypropionaldehyde (beta-HPA), was used in the study to polymerize hemoglobin (PLP-Hb). beta-HPA is a natural compound (reuterin) produced by Lactobacillus reuteri. It was found that the maximum degree of PLP-Hb polymerization by reuterin (RR-PLP-Hb) was approximately 40% if the formation of high molecular (> 500 kDa) polymers should be prevented. In contrast, at the same reaction condition, the glutaraldehyde-polymerized PLP-Hb solution became gel-like, due to overpolymerization. This indicated that the rate of PLP-Hb polymerization by reuterin was significantly slower than that by glutaraldehyde. With increasing the reaction temperature, PLP-Hb concentration, or reuterin-to-PLP-Hb molar ratio, the time to reach the maximum degree of PLP-Hb polymerization by reuterin became significantly shorter. Removal of unpolymerized PLP-Hb from the RR-PLP-Hb solution can be effectively achieved by a gel-filtration column. The P(50) value of the unmodified Hb solution was 14 torr, while that of the RR-PLP-Hb solution was 20 torr, an indication of lower oxygen affinity. Additionally, the oxygen-Hb dissociation curves for both test solutions had a sigmodial shape and a nearly 100% saturation at 100 torr. In the in vivo study, it was found that the animals treated with the RR-PLP-Hb solution all survived and remained healthy more than 3 months. In contrast, only one out of six rats survived for the control group treated with the unmodified Hb solution. Furthermore, it was found that the RR-PLP-Hb solution resulted in a significantly longer circulation time ( approximately 12 h) than the unmodified Hb solution ( approximately 1.5 h). These results suggest that the reuterin-polymerized PLP-Hb solution may be a new option in the development of blood substitutes. 相似文献

Artificial blood substitutes based on glutaraldehyde cross-linked hemoglobin (PolyHb) are currently being developed for use in human subjects needing blood transfusions. Despite the commercial development of PolyHb dispersions, a systematic study of the effect of varying the glutaraldehyde to hemoglobin (G-Hb) molar ratio on the resulting PolyHb physical properties (molecular weight distribution and oxygen binding parameters) has not been conducted to date. The results of this study show that increasing the G-Hb molar ratio elicits a general decrease in the P50 (partial pressure of oxygen at which Hb is half saturated with oxygen) and cooperativity and a simultaneous increase in the weight averaged molecular weight (Mw) of the PolyHb dispersion and methemoglobin (MetHb) level. Three PolyHb dispersions (20:1, 30:1, and 40:1 G-Hb molar ratios) displayed potential as artificial blood substitutes. The 20:1 PolyHb dispersion resulted in the presence of more intramolecularly cross-linked and non-cross-linked tetramers versus cross-linked species that were larger than a tetramer ( approximately 75% tetrameric and approximately 25% higher-order species), lower MetHb level (8%), and P50 (20.1 mmHg) similar in magnitude to that of non-cross-linked Hb. The 30:1 PolyHb dispersion consisted of more higher-order species ( approximately 76%), higher MetHb level (28%), and lower P50 (13.3 mmHg). The 40:1 PolyHb dispersion resulted in a similar P50 of 13.0 mmHg and similar MetHb level (30%); however, this PolyHb dispersion only consisted of species larger than a tetramer. The molecular weight distribution of PolyHb dispersions was determined using asymmetric flow field-flow fractionator (AFFF) coupled with multiangle static light scattering (MASLS). This is the first time that AFFF-MASLS has been used to characterize the molecular weight distribution of PolyHb dispersions. 相似文献

Changes in the slope of haemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve and its position were studied before and after the influence of long wave u.v. irradiation. Haemoglobin showed a lower than normal affinity for oxygen when exposed to 5.45 x 10(-3) J/cm2 and to lesser extent to doses of 10.90 x 10(-3) J/cm2. The elevation in P50 (representing PO2 at which Hb is half saturated) at these doses is mainly due to the new acidic groups which, by unfolding of this globular protein, become exposed in its surface. The fall in P50 at relatively high doses was found as a result of methaemoglobin increase and the partial dissociation of Hb tetramer to dimer and monomer. 相似文献

A procedure commonly used to transform native adult human hemoglobin (Hb) into a physiological oxygen carrier consists of a pyridoxylation of the protein to lower its oxygen affinity, followed by its polymerization in the presence of glutaraldehyde, with or without further reduction, to increase its circulating half-life. This series of reactions yields derivatives presenting a great molecular heterogeneity that have to be fractionated for use in vivo. Hemoglobin derivatives with low oxygen affinity and a narrow distribution of molecular weights were obtained by linking a dextran polyaldehydic derivative to deoxyhemoglobin at pH 8. From oxygen-binding measurements carried out in the presence of inositolhexaphosphate, a strong effector of hemoglobin, it appeared that the allosteric site of hemoglobin was blocked, probably by crosslinking bonds, which stabilizes its deoxy structure. On the other hand, when the reaction was performed in the presence of inositolhexaphosphate, the resulting conjugates exhibited an oxygen affinity identical to that of unmodified hemoglobin. After treatment with NaBH4, the polymer-hemoglobin derivatives were stable and possessed a reversible oxygen-carrying capacity similar to that of blood. The conjugates prepared from oxyhemoglobin all possessed a lower P50 than native hemoglobin whatever the reaction conditions. 相似文献
