RESUMO

Alternatives to blood for use in transfusion medicine have been investigated for decades. An ideal alternative should improve oxygen (O2)-carrying capacity and O2 delivery and support microvascular blood flow. Previous studies have shown that large-molecular diameter hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) based on polymerized bovine Hb (PolybHb) reduce the toxicity and vasoconstriction of first-generation HBOCs by increasing blood and plasma viscosity and preserving microvascular perfusion. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of PolybHb concentration and therefore O2-carrying capacity and solution viscosity on resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock in rats. PolybHb was diafiltered on a 500-kDa tangential flow filtration (TFF) module to remove low-molecular weight (MW) PolybHb molecules from the final product. Rats were hemorrhaged and maintained in hypovolemic shock for 30 min before transfusion of PolybHb at 10 g/dL (PHB10), 5 g/dL (PHB5), or 2.5 g/dL (PHB2.5) concentration, to restore blood pressure to 90% of the animal's baseline blood pressure. Resuscitation restored blood pressure and cardiac function in a PolybHb concentration-dependent manner. Parameters indicative of the heart's metabolic activity indicated that the two higher PolybHb concentrations better restored coronary O2 delivery compared with the low concentration evaluated. Markers of organ damage and inflammation were highest for PHB10, whereas PHB5 and PHB2.5 showed similar expression of these markers. These studies indicate that a concentration of ~5 g/dL of PolybHb may be near the optimal concentration to restore cardiac function, preserve organ function, and mitigate the toxicity of PolybHb during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Large-molecular diameter polymerized bovine hemoglobin avoided vasoconstriction and impairment of cardiac function during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock that was seen with previous hemoglobin-based O2 carriers by increasing blood viscosity in a concentration-dependent manner. Supplementation of O2-carrying capacity played a smaller role in maintaining cardiac function than increased blood and plasma viscosity.

RESUMO

Previously, our lab developed high molecular weight (MW) tense (T) quaternary state glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine hemoglobins (PolybHbs) that exhibited reduced vasoactivity in several small animal models. In this study, we prepared PolybHb in the T and relaxed (R) quaternary state with ultrahigh MW (>500 kDa) with varying cross-link densities, and investigated the effect of MW on key biophysical properties (i.e., O2 affinity, cooperativity (Hill) coefficient, hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity, polymer composition, viscosity, gaseous ligand-binding kinetics, auto-oxidation, and haptoglobin [Hp]-binding kinetics). To further optimize current PolybHb synthesis and purification protocols, we performed a comprehensive meta-data analysis to evaluate correlations between procedural parameters (i.e., cross-linker:bovine hemoglobin (bHb) molar ratio, gas-liquid exchange time, temperature during sodium dithionite addition, and number of diafiltration cycles) and the biophysical properties of both T- and R-state PolybHbs. Our results showed that, the duration of the fast-step auto-oxidation phase of R-state PolybHb increased with decreasing glutaraldehyde:bHb molar ratio. Additionally, T-state PolybHbs exhibited significantly higher bimolecular rate constants for binding to Hp and unimolecular O2 offloading rate constants compared to R-state PolybHbs. The methemoglobin (metHb) level in the final product was insensitive to the molar ratio of glutaraldehyde to bHb for all PolybHbs. During tangential flow filtration processing of the final product, 14 diafiltration cycles was found to yield the lowest metHb level.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been proposed as alternatives to blood for decades. Previous studies demonstrated that large molecular diameter HBOCs based on polymerized bovine Hb (PolybHb) attenuate Hb side-effects and toxicity. The objective of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of tense state PolybHb after long-term storage. METHODS AND RESULTS: PolybHb was subjected to diafiltration to remove low molecular weight (< 500 kDa) species and stored for 2 years. PolybHb was studied in parallel with blood, collected from rats and stored leukodepleted under blood bank conditions for 3 weeks. Rats were hemorrhaged and resuscitated to 90% of the blood pressure before the hemorrhage with fresh blood, stored blood, fresh PolybHb, or 2-year-stored PolybHb. Hemorrhagic shock impaired oxygen delivery and cardiac function. Resuscitation restored blood pressure and cardiac function, but stored blood required a significantly larger transfusion volume to recover from shock compared with fresh blood and PolybHb (fresh and stored). Stored blood transfusion elevated markers of organ damage compared with all other groups. CONCLUSIONS: These studies indicate that large molecular diameter PolybHb is as efficacious as fresh blood in restoring cardiac function and confirm the lack of degradation of PolybHb's safety or efficacy during long-term storage.

RESUMO

Hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen (O2) carriers (HBOCs) have been developed as an alternative to red blood cells (RBCs) for use in transfusion medicine. HBOCs have many benefits over RBCs; however, previous generations of HBOCs failed in clinical trials due to unanticipated cardiotoxicity. These problems likely originated from vasoconstriction, hypertension, oxidative stress, and the presence of low-molecular-weight (MW) Hb species in the HBOC formulation. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare the toxicity of small-MW Polymerized bovine Hb (SPolyHb) to large-MW Polymerized bovine Hb (LPolyHb) in guinea pigs, since they lack the ability to synthesize vitamin C and are more sensitive to oxidative stress than other preclinical animal models. The two PolyHbs used in this study have similar molecular diameters (72 and 69 nm, respectively), but the SPolyHb included approximately 15% Hb polymers with MW below 256 kDa, which were significantly removed from LPolyHb. Solutions were injected as a hypervolemic (topload) infusion of 10% of the blood volume into animals. SPolyHb caused a 50% elevation in mean arterial pressure (MAP) from the baseline, while LPolyHb caused only a small increase in MAP. Both PolyHbs also increased markers of organ damage and tissue and systemic inflammation compared to controls. SPolyHb caused significant changes in tissue function and vital organ toxicity markers compared to LPolyHb, specifically markers related to kidney, liver, and lung injury and systemic inflammation and iron transport by the reticuloendothelial system. LPolyHb had a longer half-life than SPolyHb, which correlates with observations made in the reticuloendothelial and iron transport systems. These studies indicate that the molecular size of PolyHb determines vasoactivity, circulation time, mechanism of elimination, toxicity, and inflammation induced by its infusion.
