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
Intravascular haemolysis is a fundamental feature of chronic hereditary and acquired haemolytic anaemias, including those associated with haemoglobinopathies, complement disorders and infectious diseases such as malaria. Destabilization of red blood cells (RBCs) within the vasculature results in systemic inflammation, vasomotor dysfunction, thrombophilia and proliferative vasculopathy. The haemoprotein scavengers haptoglobin and haemopexin act to limit circulating levels of free haemoglobin, haem and iron - potentially toxic species that are released from injured RBCs. However, these adaptive defence systems can fail owing to ongoing intravascular disintegration of RBCs. Induction of the haem-degrading enzyme haem oxygenase 1 (HO1) - and potentially HO2 - represents a response to, and endogenous defence against, large amounts of cellular haem; however, this system can also become saturated. A frequent adverse consequence of massive and/or chronic haemolysis is kidney injury, which contributes to the morbidity and mortality of chronic haemolytic diseases. Intravascular destruction of RBCs and the resulting accumulation of haemoproteins can induce kidney injury via a number of mechanisms, including oxidative stress and cytotoxicity pathways, through the formation of intratubular casts and through direct as well as indirect proinflammatory effects, the latter via the activation of neutrophils and monocytes. Understanding of the detailed pathophysiology of haemolysis-induced kidney injury offers opportunities for the design and implementation of new therapeutic strategies to counteract the unfavourable and potentially fatal effects of haemolysis on the kidney.

Abstract
Haptoglobin exerts renal protective function by scavenging free hemoglobin from the urine and blood stream in patients with hemolytic disorders. Recent studies elucidate the relationships between haptoglobin and inflammation. In addition, coagulopathy is often induced by systemic inflammation characterized by the presence of vascular endothelial damage. We hypothesize that haptoglobin might have an anti-inflammatory effect and affect hypercoagulability using rat burn model. Thirty anesthetized rats of six-weeks of age received over 30% full-thickness scald burn on the dorsal skin surface. All rats were injected with either haptoglobin (Hpt) or normal saline (NS) intraperitoneally. The rats were divided into three groups: 1) control group (NS 20 mL/kg); 2) low concentration of Hpt group, L-Hpt, (Hpt 4 mL (80 U) /kg+NS 16 mL/kg); and 3) high concentration of Hpt group, H-Hpt, (Hpt 20 mL (400 U) /kg). While under anesthesia, all rats were euthanized by exsanguination at 6 hours (N=5) and 24 hours (N=5). Inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were measured and whole-blood viscoelastic tests were performed by thromboelastometry (ROTEM). Haptoglobin significantly reduced free hemoglobin 24 hours after the injury. Improvement of hematuria was confirmed in the H-Hpt group. There were no differences in thrombin-antithrombin complex and plasmin-α2 plasmin inhibitor complex. The haptoglobin tended to decrease interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in H-Hpt group. ROTEM findings of the L-Hpt group showed significantly higher clot firmness and shorter time to maximum clot formation velocity than the control group. Haptoglobin reduced INF-γ, and accelerated speed of clot formation in acute phase of severe burn.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Finding compatible feline blood donors can be challenging. Canine blood has been occasionally used when compatible feline blood was not available in emergency situations. OBJECTIVES The study goals were to describe the effects of xenotransfusion in 2 anemic cats receiving canine blood because of discordant blood types and acute transfusion reaction, respectively, and to report in vitro heterotyping and crossmatching results between canine and feline blood samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS Blood samples from patients and other cats and dogs were typed, crossmatched, and assessed for alloantibodies using gel, card, and immunochromatographic strip techniques. RESULTS Cat 1 was found to have type AB blood. Cat 2, which experienced an acute transfusion reaction, had type A blood. Neither had detectable alloantibodies against feline RBC. Both cats transiently improved after transfusion with canine blood; however, acute intravascular hemolysis occurred and the PCV rapidly declined. Blood typing post xenotransfusion with DEA 1 strips revealed a positive control band that was absent in feline blood, thus allowing for the identification of transfused canine RBC. Longitudinal assessment revealed that canine RBC could no longer be detected 4 days after xenotransfusion. Major crossmatching (feline plasma with canine RBC) resulted in both positive and negative reactions, depending on the cat. Minor crossmatching results showed mostly incompatibility. CONCLUSION While both cats survived xenotransfusion, the positive control band on the DEA 1 strip revealed that transfused canine RBC were short-lived and intravascular hemolysis occurred. Crossmatch results between cats and dogs showed varied incompatibilities and may not predict transfusion reactions.

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
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women in the United States, and similar trends are seen world wide. The lack of early diagnosis is one of the primary reasons for the high mortality rate. A number of biomarkers have been evaluated in lung cancer patients, however, their specificity and early stage diagnostic values are limited. Using traditional protein chemistry and proteomics tool we have demonstrated higher serum haptoglobin levels in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Similar findings have been reported for other cancers including ovarian cancer and glioblastoma. Haptoglobin is an acute phase protein with at least six possible phenotypes. The six phenotypes, in combination with two post translational modifications, glycosylation and deamidation, lead to large numbers of possible haptoglobin isoforms. Recent studies indicate a possible correlation between specific haptoglobin glycosylation and particular disease conditions. In our current study, we have fractionated control and SCLC patient serum by 2-D gel electrophoresis to identify differentially expressed haptoglobin isoforms in SCLC serum samples.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a six gram percent (g%) solution of the hemoglobin based oxygen carrier, polyethylene glycol conjugated bovine hemoglobin (PEG-Hb) could adequately deliver oxygen in both partial exchange transfusion and top-loaded rat models. This study measured tissue oxygen tension, circulatory retention and cardiovascular effects following both 30% exchange transfusion and 20 to 25 mL/kg top-loaded infusions of PEG-Hb. Oxygen delivery to rat tissues was determined using an oxygen dependent phosphorescence quenching method (Oxyspot). Telemetric intravascular blood pressure probes monitored heart rate and mean arterial pressure. In both models, six g% PEG-Hb (P50-15 torr) was shown to oxygenate tissue better than stroma-free bovine Hb (P50-26 torr), cross-linked bovine Hb (P50-48 torr) or simple plasma expanders. The mean circulatory half life of PEG-Hb was 15.0 +/- 2.3 hours and 17.4 +/- 1.6 hours for exchange transfusion and 25 mL/kg top-loaded rat models, respectively. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in PEG-Hb treated rats was insignificantly different from sham controls undergoing a 30% exchange transfusion or following a top-loaded infusion. In conclusion, the PEG conjugated form of bovine Hb with its relatively long vascular persistence may possess characteristics that facilitate tissue oxygenation in the rat.

Abstract
Haemoglobin-based red cell substitutes have recently passed a myriad of safety studies and are now undergoing efficacy evaluation. There are numerous potential benefits with use of these solutions: they are readily available and have a long shelf-life; do not require typing and cross-matching; are free of viral or bacterial contamination; lack the immunosuppressive effects of blood; and have a much lower viscosity than blood. One-third of the 10 million units of blood transfused in the United States each year is utilized in the emergency setting. Therefore, a safe, effective substitute for blood should have significant impact upon the way we resuscitate bleeding patients. In this article, the current status of the various haemoglobin-based red cell substitutes is reviewed.

Abstract
This study compares the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified bovine hemoglobin on vascular half-life and renal function in rabbits to those of unmodified bovine hemoglobin. Renal function was assessed by the measurement of the glomerular filtration rate, urinalysis, blood chemistries, hemoglobin (Hb) excretion rates, and tissue histology. The influence of infusion rates on hemoglobin excretion rates and organ morphology was also examined. The mean half-life of unmodified bovine hemoglobin was 3.0 +/- 0.1 (mean +/- SEM) h, which was extended 14-fold to 43.2 +/- 1.7 h following PEG conjugation. The glomerular filtration rate, urinalysis, and blood chemistries were not greatly affected by either the unmodified bovine hemoglobin or the PEG modified bovine hemoglobin. However, unmodified bovine hemoglobin did demonstrate significant hemoglobinuria (Hb excretion levels in excess of 1.0% of the infused dose [p < 0.05]) at all infusion rates given while PEG modified bovine hemoglobin did not. In addition, histological examination by light microscopy indicated that the most severe morphological changes occurred in animals that received unmodified bovine hemoglobin. This data suggests that PEG modification of bovine hemoglobin significantly reduced some of the adverse effects of bovine hemoglobin on renal physiology and morphology.

Abstract
This study was designed to determine the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugation on stroma-free bovine hemoglobin. This was accomplished by examining the effects of unmodified stroma-free bovine hemoglobin (bovine Hb), PEG modified bovine hemoglobin (PEG-Hb) and dextran 70 on heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), gross renal morphology, blood chemistry, and hemoglobinuria development in conscious beagle dogs following a 30% exchange transfusion. Dogs were implanted with telemetric blood pressure probes and after 2 weeks underwent an isovolumic 30% blood volume exchange transfusion. Dogs treated with bovine Hb displayed a significant increase in MAP for 2 h following the exchange transfusion with no effect on HR. These animals exhibited significant levels of hemoglobinuria (> 20% of infused dose) within 24 h. Histopathologically, all bovine Hb infused dogs displayed renal tubular vacuolization, with 2 dogs showing regions of tubular casts and tubular cell regeneration. PEG-Hb was shown to have a circulatory half-life of 58.3 +/- 2.4 h and caused no significant changes in MAP or HR throughout the study period. Dogs excreted less than 0.1% of infused PEG-Hb within 24 h and displayed only renal tubular epithelial cell vacuolization. Dextran 70 caused a slight but insignificant decrease in MAP, elevated the HR, and exhibited only slight renal vacuole formation. Blood chemistry remained essentially stable following exchange transfusion with all the test articles. The conjugation of PEG to hemoglobin greatly increased the parent protein's vascular retention while attenuating some of its less favorable attributes.

Abstract
Parenchymal cells isolated from rat liver are capable of taking up free hemoglobin. Uptake was saturable with a concentration for half-maximal velocity of 1.35 mg/ml (1.99 X 10(-5) M) hemoglobin. At a concentration of 0.088 mg/ml, the endocytic index for hemoglobin uptake was 4.5 microliters/h per mg of cell protein. This may be compared with the rate of fluid pinocytosis by these cells of 0.025 microliter/h per mg of cell protein (determined with yeast invertase as the marker). Free beta globin chains were also taken up with an endocytic index of 26.7 microliters/h per mg of cell protein at a beta chain concentration of 0.075 mg/ml. Hemoglobin inhibited the uptake of labeled beta globin. Hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex at a concentration of 0.12 mg/ml (as hemoglobin) was cleared at a rate of 0.89 microliter/h per mg cell protein and its uptake was also inhibited by free hemoglobin. We conclude that haptoglobin serves to conserve the iron of hemoglobin by preventing its renal clearance and not by promoting its hepatic uptake.

Abstract
In several groups of galliform birds (chicken, turkey, pheasant and guinea fowl) the presence and function of plasma haptoglobin (Hp) have been studied. Paper, acetate and starch-gel electrophoresis were carried out and two benzidine stain regions were observed when haemoglobin (Hb) was added to normal plasma (Hb-Hp complex and methemalbumin) besides the free Hb when the binding capacity of these proteins were surpassed. The disappearance of the administered Hb-59Fe was exponential which is evidence of the existence of two different rates. Liver, bone marrow and kidney are the main organs related to the 59Fe uptake. These results on Hp in galliforms and the metabolism of the Hb are concordant with the data in the literature on mammals. This suggests the same common physiological role for Hp.

Abstract
The endogenous production of carbon monoxide and the flow of hemoglobin to and from plasma were measured in 11 anesthetized dogs after pumping blood through an extracorporeal circuit for short periods. Two different pumps were used. In all animals the increase in CO production was greater than could be explained by catabolism of hemoglobin lost from plasma, an average of 11.4 times greater with one pump and 2.49 times greater with the other pump. Evidence is presented that this discrepancy could not be explained by catabolism of heme other than that of hemoglobin, and we therefore concluded that rates of hemoglobin catabolism were much greater than indicated by plasma hemoglobin kinetics and that extravascular hemolysis is a major cause of erythrocyte destruction during mechanically induced hemolysis. Extravascular hemolysis apparently caused an average of 72.9% and 37.2% (with the two pumps) of the total quantity of erythrocytes destroyed during pumping and for 3 hours after pumping.

Abstract
The preparation of large quantities of a stable, stroma-free hemoglobin solution without coagulant activity is described. Following infusion of this solution into phlebotomized dogs, there is no methemoglobin formation, no adverse effects on vital signs, and no demonstrable activation of blood coagulation. The hemoglobin maintains its oxygen-carrying capacity and liberates oxygen into tissues. Acute and chronic effects on renal function following infusion of this preparation were also studied and no effect on clearance of urea, creatinine, or P.A.H. could be demonstrated. There was no change in urinary output and histological sections revealed no lesions attributable to hemoglobin toxicity. It is concluded that a stroma-free hemoglobin solution may have use as a plasma expander.
