Abstract
Infection-induced hemolysis results in intravascular hemolysis, which releases hemoglobin (Hb) into the tissues. Free Hb exhibits cytotoxic, oxidative, and pro-inflammatory effects, leading to systemic inflammation, vascular constriction dysfunction, thrombosis, and proliferative vascular lesions. Currently, the impact of intravascular hemolysis on the middle kidney in fish is unclear. Here, the injection of phenylhydrazine (PHZ) was used to establish a persistent hemolysis model in grass carp. The determination results revealed that the PHZ-induced hemolysis caused conspicuous tissue damage in the kidneys of grass carp, increased the levels of Cr in the serum and the expression indicators of kidney injury-related genes in the middle kidney. Prussian blue staining indicated that PHZ-induced hemolysis significantly increased the deposition of iron ions in the kidneys of grass carp, and activated the expression levels of iron metabolism-related genes. The results of oxidative damage-related experiments indicate that under PHZ treatment, the activity of middle kidney cells decreases, and the production of oxidative damage markers malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) increases, simultaneously inhibiting the activity of antioxidant enzymes and upregulating the transcription levels of antioxidant enzyme-related genes. Additionally, the analysis of inflammatory factors revealed a significant upregulation of genes associated with inflammation induced by PHZ-induced hemolysis. The transcriptome analysis was performed to further explore the molecular regulatory effects of hemolysis on tissues, the analysis revealed the treatment of PHZ activated various of programmed cell death (PCD) pathways, including ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. In summary, this study found that sustained hemolysis in fish results in Hb and iron ion deposition in middle kidney, promoting oxidative damage, ultimately inducing various forms of PCD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bystander hemolysis occurs when antigen-negative red blood cells (RBCs) are lysed by the complement system. Many clinical entities including passenger lymphocyte syndrome, hyperhemolysis following blood transfusion, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria are complicated by bystander hemolysis. AREAS COVERED The review provides data about the role of the complement system in the pathogenesis of bystander hemolysis. Moreover, future perspectives on the understanding and management of this syndrome are described. EXPERT OPINION Complement system can be activated via classical, alternative, and lectin pathways. Classical pathway activation is mediated by antigen-antibody (autoantibodies and alloantibodies against autologous RBCs, infectious agents) complexes. Alternative pathway initiation is triggered by heme, RBC microvesicles, and endothelial injury that is a result of intravascular hemolysis. Thus, C5b is formed, binds with C6-C9 compomers, and MAC (C5b-9) is formulated in bystander RBCs membranes, leading to cell lysis. Intravascular hemolysis, results in activation of the alternative pathway, establishing a vicious cycle between complement activation and bystander hemolysis. C5 inhibitors have been used effectively in patients with hyperhemolysis syndrome and other entities characterized by bystander hemolysis.

Abstract
Wasp venom can trigger local and systemic reactions, with the kidneys being commonly affected, potentially causing acute kidney injury (AKI). Despite of the recent advances, our knowledge on the underlying mechanisms of toxicity and targeted therapies remain poor. AKI can result from direct nephrotoxic effects of the wasp venom or secondary rhabdomyolysis and intravascular hemolysis, which will release myoglobin and free hemoglobin. Inflammatory responses play a central role in these pathological mechanisms. Noteworthily, the successful establishment of a suitable experimental model can assist in basic research and clinical advancements related to wasp venom-induced AKI. The combination of therapeutic plasma exchange and continuous renal replacement therapy appears to be the preferred treatment for wasp venom-induced AKI. In addition, studies on cilastatin and varespladib for wasp venom-induced AKI treatment have shown their potential as therapeutic agents. This review summarizes the available evidence on the mechanisms and treatment of wasp venom-induced AKI, with a particular focus on the role of inflammatory responses and potential targets for therapeutic drugs, and, therefore, aiming to support the development of clinical treatment against wasp venom-induced AKI.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to search for survival biomarkers (SB) and treatment response monitoring biomarkers (TRMB) in the urinary proteome of dogs with renal disease secondary to canine leishmaniosis (CanL), using UHPLC-MS/MS. The proteomic data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD042578. Initially, a group of 12 dogs was evaluated and divided into survivors (SG; n = 6) and nonsurvivors (NSG; n = 6). A total of 972 proteins were obtained from the evaluated samples. Then, bioinformatic analysis reduced them to 6 proteins like potential SB increased in the NSG, specifically, Haemoglobin subunit Alpha 1, Complement Factor I, Complement C5, Fibrinogen beta chain (fragment), Peptidase S1 domain-containing protein, and Fibrinogen gamma chain. Afterwards, SG was used to search for TRMB, studying their urine at 0, 30, and 90 days, and 9 proteins that decreased after treatment were obtained: Apolipoprotein E, Cathepsin B, Cystatin B, Cystatin-C-like, Lysozyme, Monocyte differentiation CD14, Pancreatitis-associated precursor protein, Profilin, and Protein FAM3C. Finally, enrichment analysis provided information about the biological mechanisms in which these proteins are involved. In conclusion, this study provides 15 new candidate urinary biomarkers and an improved understanding of the pathogenesis of kidney disease in CanL.

Abstract
Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is associated with a high rate of disability and decreased quality of life in people with HIV-1 (PWH). We previously showed that PWH with CWP have increased hemolysis and elevated plasma levels of cell-free heme, which correlate with low endogenous opioid levels in leukocytes. Further, we demonstrated that cell-free heme impairs β-endorphin synthesis/release from leukocytes. However, the cellular mechanisms by which heme dampens β-endorphin production are inconclusive. The current hypothesis is that heme-dependent TLR4 activation and macrophage polarization to the M1 phenotype mediate this phenomenon. Our novel findings showed that PWH with CWP have elevated M1-specific macrophage chemokines (ENA-78, GRO-α, and IP-10) in plasma. In vitro, hemin-induced polarization of M0 and M2 macrophages to the M1 phenotype with low β-endorphins was mitigated by treating cells with the TLR4 inhibitor, TAK-242. Similarly, in vivo phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (PHZ), an inducer of hemolysis, injected into C57Bl/6 mice increased the M1/M2 cell ratio and reduced β-endorphin levels. However, treating these animals with the heme-scavenging protein hemopexin (Hx) or TAK-242 reduced the M1/M2 ratio and increased β-endorphins. Furthermore, Hx attenuated heme-induced mechanical, heat, and cold hypersensitivity, while TAK-242 abrogated hypersensitivity to mechanical and heat stimuli. Overall, these results suggest that heme-mediated TLR4 activation and M1 polarization of macrophages correlate with impaired endogenous opioid homeostasis and hypersensitivity in people with HIV.

Abstract
Chemoresistance remains the foremost challenge in cancer therapy. Targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS) manipulation is a promising strategy in cancer treatment since tumor cells present high levels of intracellular ROS, which makes them more vulnerable to further ROS elevation than normal cells. Nevertheless, dynamic redox evolution and adaptation of tumor cells are capable of counteracting therapy-induced oxidative stress, which leads to chemoresistance. Hence, exploring the cytoprotective mechanisms of tumor cells is urgently needed to overcome chemoresistance. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a rate-limiting enzyme of heme degradation, acts as a crucial antioxidant defense and cytoprotective molecule in response to cellular stress. Recently, emerging evidence indicated that ROS detoxification and oxidative stress tolerance owing to the antioxidant function of HO-1 contribute to chemoresistance in various cancers. Enhanced HO-1 expression or enzymatic activity was revealed to promote apoptosis resistance and activate protective autophagy, which also involved in the development of chemoresistance. Moreover, inhibition of HO-1 in multiple cancers was identified to reversing chemoresistance or improving chemosensitivity. Here, we summarize the most recent advances regarding the antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and pro-autophagy properties of HO-1 in mediating chemoresistance, highlighting HO-1 as a novel target for overcoming chemoresistance and improving the prognosis of cancer patients.

Abstract
Intravascular hemolysis (IVH) occurs in numerous inherited and acquired disorders, including sickle cell disease (SCD), malaria and sepsis. These diseases display unique symptoms, but often share complications, such as vasomotor dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. Consequently, in vivo models are needed to study the effects of continuous intravascular hemolytic processes, independently of the molecular or extrinsic alteration that leads to erythrocyte destruction. We gave twice-weekly low-dose phenylhydrazine (LDPHZ) to C57BL/6 J mice for 4 weeks, and measured parameters indicative of anemia, hemoglobin-clearance pathways, inflammation and iron turnover, comparing these to those of a murine model of SCD, which displays associated IVH. LDPHZ administration provoked discreet anemia in mice and significant reticulocytosis, in association with hemoglobin/heme-clearance pathway protein depletion. Mice subjected to chronic hemolysis displayed elevated leukocyte counts and plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, soluble ICAM-1, endothelin-1 and anti-inflammatory IL-10, closely emulating alterations indicative of systemic inflammatory and endothelial activation in SCD, and confirming chronic IVH in itself as a serious complication. Discreet accelerations in hepatic and splenic iron turnover also occurred in LDPHZ mice, without alterations in liver damage markers. Examining the effects of two therapies on hemolysis-induced inflammation, the administration of hydroxyurea (and to a lesser extent, l-glutamine) significantly abrogated hemolytic inflammation in mice, without apparent inhibition of hemolysis. In conclusion, the isolation of chronic IVH, a common disease mechanism, using this model, may allow the study of hemolysis-specific sequelae at the cellular and systemic level, and the investigation of candidate agents that could potentially counter hemolytic inflammation.

Abstract
Warm temperature acclimation-related 65-kDa proteins (Wap65s) are fish plasma acute-phase glycoproteins homologous to hemopexin with high affinity and clearance for heme. The study characterized Mswap65-1 and Mswap65-2 genes in Micropterus salmoides. Structural analysis showed MsWap65s contained conserved heme-binding sites. MsWap65-1 had a chloride-binding site similar to hemopexin, while MsWap65-2 had an additional calcium-binding site. Phylogenetic and Ka/Ks analysis showed that fish Wap65s were evolutionarily conserved and underwent strong purifying selection. Functional divergence analysis indicated that fish Wap65-2 retained the putative function of ancestral Wap65, while Wap65-1 underwent neofunctional differentiation. QPCR showed Mswap65s were predominantly expressed in liver, but prolonged hyperthermy inhibited Mswap65-2 expression. Mswap65-2 expression was up-regulated in liver and spleen after Nocardia seriolae infection, while Mswap65-1 was down-regulated. MsWap65-2 may be associated with pathogenesis and play potential role in pathogen resistance. LMBV infection resulted in both significant downregulation of Mswap65s were both significantly down-regulated, with differences observed between sexes. We speculated the immune system might suppress expression after viral infection. Exogenous rMsWap65s were prepared, and injection of rMsWap65s alleviated phenylhydrazine-induced hemolysis and inhibited increases in heme, complement C3 and inflammatory symptoms. Our results contribute to an advanced understanding of the functions and mechanisms of MsWap65s in stress resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Gentamycin-induced nephrotoxicity is related to stimulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory cascades leading to apoptotic renal damage. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction considered to be an adaptive response against oxidative tissue damage. Our study aimed to investigate the possible nephroprotective role of HO-1 inducers (hemin and erythropoietin (EPO)) and elucidate their potential underlying molecular mechanisms by assessing their antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. METHODS Kidney function markers (urea and creatinine), lipid peroxidation and antioxidant markers (MDA and GPx), inflammation and apoptotic markers (IL-6 and Bcl-2), and the relative gene expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 were assessed. Histopathological changes of the kidney were examined. RESULTS Nephrotoxic rats pretreated with hemin showed significant decrease in serum level of urea, creatinine, and MDA, compared to non-treated group. The kidney tissues also showed significant elevation of Bcl2 level, but significant decrease of IL-6, compared to non-treated group. Moreover, hemin pre-treatment significantly upregulated gene expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in kidney tissue to near the normal control group. On the other hand, pretreatment with EPO showed significant upregulation of HO-1 gene expression but didn't show significant difference in Nrf2 gene expression compared to control group. The histopathological examination of kidney supported the biochemical results. CONCLUSION The current results proved that hemin rather than EPO, showed reno-protective effects in rats, which was mediated by activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway. This could be also attributed to the observed anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic properties of hemin. In this regard, EPO showed lower potency.

Abstract
Organophosphates (OPs) are toxic chemicals produced by an esterification process and some other routes. They are the main components of herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides and are also widely used in the production of plastics and solvents. Acute or chronic exposure to OPs can manifest in various levels of toxicity to humans, animals, plants, and insects. OPs containing insecticides were widely used in many countries during the 20th century, and some of them continue to be used today. In particular, 36 OPs have been registered in the USA, and all of them have the potential to cause acute and sub-acute toxicity. Renal damage and impairment of kidney function after exposure to OPs, accompanied by the development of clinical manifestations of poisoning back in the early 1990s of the last century, was considered a rare manifestation of their toxicity. However, since the beginning of the 21st century, nephrotoxicity of OPs as a manifestation of delayed toxicity is the subject of greater attention of researchers. In this article, we present a modern view on the molecular pathophysiological mechanisms of acute nephrotoxicity of organophosphate compounds.

Abstract
Many apoptotic thymocytes are generated during the course of T cell selection in the thymus, yet the machinery through which these dead cells are recognized and phagocytically cleared is incompletely understood. We found that the TAM receptor tyrosine kinases Axl and Mer, which are co-expressed by a specialized set of phagocytic thymic macrophages, are essential components of this machinery. Mutant mice lacking Axl and Mer exhibited a marked accumulation of apoptotic cells during the time that autoreactive and nonreactive thymocytes normally die. Unexpectedly, these double mutants also displayed a profound deficit in the total number of highly phagocytic macrophages in the thymus, and concomitantly exhibited diminished expression of TIM-4, CD163, and other non-TAM phagocytic engulfment systems in the macrophages that remained. Importantly, these previously unrecognized deficits were not confined to the thymus, as they were also evident in the spleen and bone marrow. They had pleiotropic consequences for the double mutants, also previously unrecognized, which included dysregulation of hemoglobin turnover and iron metabolism leading to anemia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hemolysis occurs in many injury settings and can trigger disease processes. In the kidney, extracellular hemoglobin can induce damage via several mechanisms. These include oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation, which promote fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. Understanding the pathophysiology of these injury pathways offers opportunities to develop new therapeutic strategies.
Methods
To model hemolysis-induced kidney injury, human kidney organoids were treated with hemin, an iron-containing porphyrin, that generates reactive oxygen species. In addition, we developed an induced pluripotent stem cell line expressing the biosensor, CytochromeC-GFP (CytoC-GFP), which provides a real-time readout of mitochondrial morphology, health, and early apoptotic events.
Results
We found that hemin-treated kidney organoids show oxidative damage, increased expression of injury markers, impaired functionality of organic anion and cation transport and undergo fibrosis. Injury could be detected in live CytoC-GFP organoids by cytoplasmic localization of fluorescence. Finally, we show that 4-(phenylthio)butanoic acid, an HDAC inhibitor with anti-fibrotic effects in vivo, reduces hemin-induced human kidney organoid fibrosis.
Conclusion
This work establishes a hemin-induced model of kidney organoid injury. This platform provides a new tool to study the injury and repair response pathways in human kidney tissue and will assist in the development of new therapeutics.

Abstract
Anemia is a public health problem that affects many people worldwide. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a plant supposed to have many healthy features. The present study was done to evaluate the anti-anemic effect of beetroot supplement on anemia induced by phenylhydrazine in albino rats. Fifty rats were randomly divided into five equal groups. The control group was kept normal rats. In the second group, anemia was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of phenylhydrazine at 60 mg/kg in 3 divided doses daily, for 3 consecutive days. The last three groups received phenylhydrazine as the anemic group. Then, the third group received beetroot extract in dose 200 mg/kg for 24 days. The fourth group received beetroot powder in dose 1000 mg/kg for 24 days. The last group received iron (III) hydroxide polymaltose complex in dose 5mg/kg for 24 days. Our results showed that hemolytic anemia induced by phenylhydrazine in rats caused alteration in the blood picture, iron indices, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant biomarkers, and histopathological picture. However, the supplementation with beetroot ameliorated these alterations, especially beetroot powder which showed powerful health effects compared to beetroot extract and iron preparation.

Abstract
Levels of circulating cell-free hemoglobin are elevated during hemolytic and inflammatory diseases and contribute to organ dysfunction and severity of illness. Though several studies have investigated the contribution of hemoglobin to tissue injury, the precise signaling mechanisms of hemoglobin-mediated endothelial dysfunction in the lung and other organs are not yet completely understood. The purpose of this review is to highlight the knowledge gained thus far and the need for further investigation regarding hemoglobin-mediated endothelial inflammation and injury to develop novel therapeutic strategies targeting the damaging effects of cell-free hemoglobin.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common feature of severe malaria, and an independent risk factor for death. Previous research has suggested that an overactivation of the host inflammatory response is at least partly involved in mediating the kidney damage observed in P. falciparum patients with AKI, however the exact pathophysiology of AKI in severe malaria remains unknown. The purpose of this mini-review is to describe how different aspects of malaria pathology, including parasite sequestration, microvascular obstruction and extensive intravascular hemolysis, may interact with each other and contribute to the development of AKI in severe malaria, by amplifying the damaging effects of the host inflammatory response. Here, we highlight the importance of considering how the systemic effects and multi-organ involvement of malaria are intertwined with the localized effects on the kidney.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusion, a common basic supporting therapy, can lead to acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR). AHTR poses a great risk to patients through kidney function damage in a short time. Previous reports found that heme from destroyed red blood cells impaired kidney function, and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome was augmented in case of kidney injury. However, the detailed mechanism regarding whether NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in kidney function injury in AHTR is not fully understood yet. METHODS Hemolysis models were established by vein injection with human blood plasma or mouse heme from destroyed red blood cells. The injured renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) were evaluated by tubular damage markers staining in hemolysis models and in primary RTECs in vitro. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in RTECs by hemes was investigated by Western blot, ELISA, scanning electron microscopy, immunofluorescent staining, flow cytometry, and hemolysis models. NLRP3 gene knockout mice were employed to confirm these observations in vitro and in vivo. The binding between a novel inhibitor (66PR) and NLRP3 was affirmed by molecule docking and co-immunoprecipitation. The rescue of 66PR on kidney function impairment was explored in murine hemolysis models. RESULTS We found that heme could activate NLRP3 inflammasome in RTECs to induce kidney function injury. NLRP3 gene knockout could prevent the damage of RTECs caused by hemes and recover kidney function in AHTR. Moreover, NLRP3 inflammasome chemical inhibitor, 66PR, could bind to NLRP3 protein and inhibit inflammasome activation in RTECs, which consequently relieved the injury of RTECs caused by hemes, and alleviated kidney function damage in the AHTR model. CONCLUSIONS Hemes could activate NLRP3 inflammasome in RTECs, and a novel NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor named 66PR relieved kidney function damage in AHTR. Our findings provided a new possible strategy to treat kidney function failure in AHTR.

Abstract
The incidence of kidney disease is rising, constituting a significant burden on the healthcare system and making identification of new therapeutic targets increasingly urgent. The heme oxygenase (HO) system performs an important function in the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammation and, via these mechanisms, is thought to play a role in the prevention of non-specific injuries following acute renal failure or resulting from chronic kidney disease. The expression of HO-1 is strongly inducible by a wide range of stimuli in the kidney, consequent to the kidney's filtration role which means HO-1 is exposed to a wide range of endogenous and exogenous molecules, and it has been shown to be protective in a variety of nephropathological animal models. Interestingly, the positive effect of HO-1 occurs in both hemolysis- and rhabdomyolysis-dominated diseases, where the kidney is extensively exposed to heme (a major HO-1 inducer), as well as in non-heme-dependent diseases such as hypertension, diabetic nephropathy or progression to end-stage renal disease. This highlights the complexity of HO-1's functions, which is also illustrated by the fact that, despite the abundance of preclinical data, no drug targeting HO-1 has so far been translated into clinical use. The objective of this review is to assess current knowledge relating HO-1's role in the kidney and its potential interest as a nephroprotection agent. The potential therapeutic openings will be presented, in particular through the identification of clinical trials targeting this enzyme or its products.

Abstract
Heme's interaction with Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) does not fully explain the proinflammatory properties of this hemoglobin-derived molecule during intravascular hemolysis. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) shares many features with TLR4 such as common ligands and proinflammatory, prothrombotic, and pro-oxidative signaling pathways, prompting us to study its involvement as a heme sensor. Stable RAGE-heme complexes with micromolar affinity were detected as heme-mediated RAGE oligomerization. The heme-binding site was located in the V domain of RAGE. This interaction was Fe3+ -dependent and competitive with carboxymethyllysine, another RAGE ligand. We confirmed a strong basal gene expression of RAGE in mouse lungs. After intraperitoneal heme injection, pulmonary TNF-α, IL1β, and tissue factor gene expression levels increased in WT mice but were significantly lower in their RAGE-/- littermates. This may be related to the lower activation of ERK1/2 and Akt observed in the lungs of heme-treated, RAGE-/- mice. Overall, heme binds to RAGE with micromolar affinity and could promote proinflammatory and prothrombotic signaling in vivo, suggesting that this interaction could be implicated in heme-overload conditions.

Abstract
Physiological Glucocorticoids are important regulators of the immune system. Pharmacological GCs are in widespread use to treat inflammatory diseases. Adrenalectomy (ADX) has been shown to exacerbate renal injury through inflammation and oxidative stress that results in renal impairment due to depletion of GCs. In this study, the effect of myrcene to attenuate renal inflammation and oxidative stress was evaluated in the adrenalectomized rat model. Rats were adrenalectomized bilaterally or the adrenals were not removed after surgery (sham). Myrcene (50 mg/kg body weight, orally) was administered post ADX. Myrcene treatment resulted in significant downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) compared to untreated ADX rats. In addition, myrcene resulted in significant downregulation of immunomodulatory factors (IFNγ and NF-κB) and anti-inflammatory markers (IL-4 and IL-10) in treated ADX compared to untreated ADX. Myrcene significantly increased the antioxidant molecules (CAT, GSH, and SOD) and decreased MDA levels in treated ADX compared to untreated. Moreover, myrcene treatment reduced the expression of COX-2, iNOS, KIM-1, and kidney functional molecules (UREA, LDH, total protein, and creatinine) in ADX treated compared to ADX untreated. These results suggest that myrcene could be further developed as a therapeutic drug for treatment of kidney inflammation and injury.

Abstract
Intravascular hemolysis of any cause can induce acute kidney injury (AKI). Hemolysis-derived product heme activates the innate immune complement system and contributes to renal damage. Therefore, we explored the role of the master complement regulator Factor H (FH) in the kidney's resistance to hemolysis-mediated AKI. Acute systemic hemolysis was induced in mice lacking liver expression of FH (hepatoFH-/-, ~20% residual FH) and in WT controls, by phenylhydrazine injection. The impaired complement regulation in hepatoFH-/- mice resulted in a delayed but aggravated phenotype of hemolysis-related kidney injuries. Plasma urea as well as markers for tubular (NGAL, Kim-1) and vascular aggression peaked at day 1 in WT mice and normalized at day 2, while they increased more in hepatoFH-/- compared to the WT and still persisted at day 4. These were accompanied by exacerbated tubular dilatation and the appearance of tubular casts in the kidneys of hemolytic hepatoFH-/- mice. Complement activation in hemolytic mice occurred in the circulation and C3b/iC3b was deposited in glomeruli in both strains. Both genotypes presented with positive staining of FH in the glomeruli, but hepatoFH-/- mice had reduced staining in the tubular compartment. Despite the clear phenotype of tubular injury, no complement activation was detected in the tubulointerstitium of the phenylhydrazin-injected mice irrespective of the genotype. Nevertheless, phenylhydrazin triggered overexpression of C5aR1 in tubules, predominantly in hepatoFH-/- mice. Moreover, C5b-9 was deposited only in the glomeruli of the hemolytic hepatoFH-/- mice. Therefore, we hypothesize that C5a, generated in the glomeruli, could be filtered into the tubulointerstitium to activate C5aR1 expressed by tubular cells injured by hemolysis-derived products and will aggravate the tissue injury. Plasma-derived FH is critical for the tubular protection, since pre-treatment of the hemolytic hepatoFH-/- mice with purified FH attenuated the tubular injury. Worsening of acute tubular necrosis in the hepatoFH-/- mice was trigger-dependent, as it was also observed in LPS-induced septic AKI model but not in chemotherapy-induced AKI upon cisplatin injection. In conclusion, plasma FH plays a key role in protecting the kidneys, especially the tubules, against hemolysis-mediated injury. Thus, FH-based molecules might be explored as promising therapeutic agents in a context of AKI.

Abstract
Hemopexin is the main plasmatic scavenger of cell-free heme, released in the context of intravascular hemolysis or major cell injury. Heme is indispensable for the oxygen transport by hemoglobin but when released outside of the erythrocytes it becomes a danger-associated molecular pattern, contributing to tissue injury. One of the mechanisms of pro-inflammatory action of heme is to activate the innate immune complement cascade. Therefore, we hypothesized that injection of hemopexin will prevent hemolysis-induced complement activation. Human plasma-derived hemopexin is compatible with the heme clearance machinery of the mice. 100 or 500 mg/kg of hemopexin was injected in C57Bl/6 mice before treatment with phenylhydrazine (inducer of erythrocytes lysis) or with PBS as a control. Blood was taken at different timepoints to determine the pharmacokinetic of injected hemopexin in presence and absence of hemolysis. Complement activation was determined in plasma, by the C3 cleavage (western blot) and in the kidneys (immunofluorescence). Kidney injury was evaluated by urea and creatinine in plasma and renal NGAL and HO-1 gene expression were measured. The pharmacokinetic properties of hemopexin (mass spectrometry) in the hemolytic mice were affected by the target-mediated drug disposition phenomenon due to the high affinity of binding of hemopexin to heme. Hemolysis induced complement overactivation and signs of mild renal dysfunction at 6 h, which were prevented by hemopexin, except for the NGAL upregulation. The heme-degrading capacity of the kidney, measured by the HO-1 expression, was not affected by the treatment. These results encourage further studies of hemopexin as a therapeutic agent in models of diseases with heme overload.

Abstract
Hemolytic diseases are characterized by an accelerated breakdown of red blood cells (RBCs) and the release of hemoglobin (Hb). Following, RBC lysis Hb oxidation occurs with the formation of different redox states of Hb (metHb and ferrylHb) and the release of heme. ferrylHb is unstable and decomposes to metHb with the concomitant formation of globin radicals and eventually covalently crosslinked Hb multimers. The goal of the present study was to determine the concentrations of the different redox states of Hb in biological samples during hemolytic conditions. We used plasma and urine samples of mice with intravascular hemolysis and human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples following intraventricular hemorrhage. Because ferrylHb is highly unstable, we also addressed the fate of this species. metHb and free heme time-dependently accumulate in plasma and CSF samples following intravascular hemolysis and intraventricular hemorrhage, respectively. ferrylHb is hardly detectable in the biological samples during hemolytic conditions. Under in vitro conditions, ferrylHb decomposes quickly to metHb, which process is associated with the formation of covalently crosslinked Hb multimers. We detected these covalently crosslinked Hb multimers in plasma, urine, and CSF samples during hemolytic conditions. Because globin modification is specific for these Hb forms, we propose to call this heterogeneous form of Hb produced during ferrylHb decomposition as globin-modified oxidized Hb (gmoxHb). Understanding the formation and the contribution of gmoxHb species to the pathogenesis of hemolytic conditions could have therapeutic implications in the treatment of hemolytic diseases.

Abstract
The kidney harbours different types of endothelia, each with specific structural and functional characteristics. The glomerular endothelium, which is highly fenestrated and covered by a rich glycocalyx, participates in the sieving properties of the glomerular filtration barrier and in the maintenance of podocyte structure. The microvascular endothelium in peritubular capillaries, which is also fenestrated, transports reabsorbed components and participates in epithelial cell function. The endothelium of large and small vessels supports the renal vasculature. These renal endothelia are protected by regulators of thrombosis, inflammation and complement, but endothelial injury (for example, induced by toxins, antibodies, immune cells or inflammatory cytokines) or defects in factors that provide endothelial protection (for example, regulators of complement or angiogenesis) can lead to acute or chronic renal injury. Moreover, renal endothelial cells can transition towards a mesenchymal phenotype, favouring renal fibrosis and the development of chronic kidney disease. Thus, the renal endothelium is both a target and a driver of kidney and systemic cardiovascular complications. Emerging therapeutic strategies that target the renal endothelium may lead to improved outcomes for both rare and common renal diseases.

Abstract
This review provides a synopsis of the published literature over the past two years on the heme-binding protein hemopexin (HPX), with some background information on the biochemistry of the HPX system. One focus is on the mechanisms of heme-driven pathology in the context of heme and iron homeostasis in human health and disease. The heme-binding protein hemopexin is a multi-functional protectant against hemoglobin (Hb)-derived heme toxicity as well as mitigating heme-mediated effects on immune cells, endothelial cells, and stem cells that collectively contribute to driving inflammation, perturbing vascular hemostasis and blood–brain barrier function. Heme toxicity, which may lead to iron toxicity, is recognized increasingly in a wide range of conditions involving hemolysis and immune system activation and, in this review, we highlight some newly identified actions of heme and hemopexin especially in situations where normal processes fail to maintain heme and iron homeostasis. Finally, we present preliminary data showing that the cytokine IL-6 cross talks with activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway in response to heme-hemopexin in models of hepatocytes. This indicates another level of complexity in the cell responses to elevated heme via the HPX system when the immune system is activated and/or in the presence of inflammation.

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
Moderate intravascular hemolysis is a common condition in newborns. It is followed by the accumulation of bilirubin, which is a secondary product of the activity of heme oxygenase-1, an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of heme released from disrupted erythrocytes and taken up by hepatic macrophages. Although these cells are a major site of enzymatic heme breakdown in adults, we show here that epithelial cells of proximal tubules in the kidneys perform the functions of both heme uptake and catabolism in mouse neonates. A time-course study examining mouse pups during the neonatal period showed a gradual recovery from hemolysis, and concomitant decreases in the expression of heme-related genes and non-heme iron transporters in the proximal tubules. By adjusting the expression of iron-handling proteins in response to the disappearance of hemolysis in mouse neonates, the kidneys may play a role in the detoxification of iron and contribute to its recirculation from the primary urine to the blood.

Abstract
Massive intravascular hemolysis is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays a central role in the defense against oxidative stress by activating the expression of antioxidant proteins. We investigated the role of Nrf2 in intravascular hemolysis and whether Nrf2 activation protected against hemoglobin (Hb)/heme-mediated renal damage in vivo and in vitro. We observed renal Nrf2 activation in human hemolysis and in an experimental model of intravascular hemolysis promoted by phenylhydrazine intraperitoneal injection. In wild-type mice, Hb/heme released from intravascular hemolysis promoted AKI, resulting in decreased renal function, enhanced expression of tubular injury markers (KIM-1 and NGAL), oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER), and cell death. These features were more severe in Nrf2-deficient mice, which showed decreased expression of Nrf2-related antioxidant enzymes, including heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and ferritin. Nrf2 activation with sulforaphane protected against Hb toxicity in mice and cultured tubular epithelial cells, ameliorating renal function and kidney injury and reducing cell stress and death. Nrf2 genotype or sulforaphane treatment did not influence the severity of hemolysis. In conclusion, our study identifies Nrf2 as a key molecule involved in protection against renal damage associated with hemolysis and opens novel therapeutic approaches to prevent renal damage in patients with severe hemolytic crisis. These findings provide new insights into novel aspects of Hb-mediated renal toxicity and may have important therapeutic implications for intravascular hemolysis-related diseases.

Abstract
The review discusses pleiotropic effects of erythrocytic hemoglobin (Hb) and their significance for human health. Hemoglobin is mostly known as an oxygen carrier, but its biochemical functions are not limited to this. The following aspects of Hb functioning are examined: (i) catalytic functions of the heme component (nitrite reductase, NO dioxygenase, monooxygenase, alkylhydroperoxidase) and of the apoprotein (esterase, lipoxygenase); (ii) participation in nitric oxide metabolism; (iii) formation of membrane-bound Hb and its role in the regulation of erythrocyte metabolism; (iv) physiological functions of Hb catabolic products (iron, CO, bilirubin, peptides). Special attention is given to Hb participation in signal transduction in erythrocytes. The relationships between various erythrocyte metabolic parameters, such as oxygen status, ATP formation, pH regulation, redox balance, and state of the cytoskeleton are discussed with regard to Hb. Hb polyfunctionality can be considered as a manifestation of the principle of biochemical economy.

Abstract
Hemolytic diseases are frequently linked to multiorgan failure subsequent to vascular damage. Deciphering the mechanisms leading to organ injury upon hemolytic event could bring out therapeutic approaches. Complement system activation occurs in hemolytic disorders, such as sickle cell disease, but the pathological relevance and the acquisition of a complement-activating phenotype during hemolysis remain unclear. Here we found that intravascular hemolysis, induced by injection of phenylhydrazine, resulted in increased alanine aminotransferase plasma levels and NGAL expression. This liver damage was at least in part complement-dependent, since it was attenuated in complement C3-/- mice and by injection of C5-blocking antibody. We evidenced C3 activation fragments' deposits on liver endothelium in mice with intravascular hemolysis or injected with heme as well as on cultured human endothelial cells (EC) exposed to heme. This process was mediated by TLR4 signaling, as revealed by pharmacological blockade and TLR4 deficiency in mice. Mechanistically, TLR4-dependent surface expression of P-selectin triggered an unconventional mechanism of complement activation by noncovalent anchoring of C3 activation fragments, including the typical fluid-phase C3(H2O), measured by surface plasmon resonance and flow cytometry. P-selectin blockade by an antibody prevented complement deposits and attenuated the liver stress response, measured by NGAL expression, in the hemolytic mice. In conclusion, these results revealed the critical impact of the triad TLR4/P-selectin/complement in the liver damage and its relevance for hemolytic diseases. We anticipate that blockade of TLR4, P-selectin, or the complement system could prevent liver injury in hemolytic diseases like sickle cell disease.

Abstract
Intravascular hemolysis is a hallmark of a large spectrum of diseases, including the sickle cell disease (SCD), and is characterized by liberation of red blood cell (RBC) degradation products in the circulation. Released Hb, heme, RBC fragments and microvesicles (MVs) exert pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidative and cytotoxic effects and contribute to vascular and tissue damage. The innate immune complement system not only contributes to the RBC lysis, but it is also itself activated by heme, RBC MVs and the hypoxia-altered endothelium, amplifying thus the cell and tissue damage. This review focuses on the implication of the complement system in hemolysis and hemolysis-mediated injuries in SCD and in cases of delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTR). We summarize the evidences for presence of biomarkers of complement activation in patients with SCD and the mechanisms of complement activation in DHTR. We discuss the role of antibodies-dependent activation of the classical complement pathway as well as the heme-dependent activation of the alternative pathway. Finally, we describe the available evidences for the efficacy of therapeutic blockade of complement in cases of DHTR. In conclusion, complement blockade is holding promises but future prospective studies are required to introduce Eculizumab or another upcoming complement therapeutic for DHTR and even in SCD.

Abstract
The kidney harbours different types of endothelia, each with specific structural and functional characteristics. The glomerular endothelium, which is highly fenestrated and covered by a rich glycocalyx, participates in the sieving properties of the glomerular filtration barrier and in the maintenance of podocyte structure. The microvascular endothelium in peritubular capillaries, which is also fenestrated, transports reabsorbed components and participates in epithelial cell function. The endothelium of large and small vessels supports the renal vasculature. These renal endothelia are protected by regulators of thrombosis, inflammation and complement, but endothelial injury (for example, induced by toxins, antibodies, immune cells or inflammatory cytokines) or defects in factors that provide endothelial protection (for example, regulators of complement or angiogenesis) can lead to acute or chronic renal injury. Moreover, renal endothelial cells can transition towards a mesenchymal phenotype, favouring renal fibrosis and the development of chronic kidney disease. Thus, the renal endothelium is both a target and a driver of kidney and systemic cardiovascular complications. Emerging therapeutic strategies that target the renal endothelium may lead to improved outcomes for both rare and common renal diseases.

Abstract
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a severe disease characterized by microvascular endothelial cell (EC) lesions leading to thrombi formation, mechanical hemolysis and organ failure, predominantly renal. Complement system overactivation is a hallmark of aHUS. To investigate this selective susceptibility of the microvascular renal endothelium to complement attack and thrombotic microangiopathic lesions, we compared complement and cyto-protection markers on EC, from different vascular beds, in in vitro and in vivo models as well as in patients. No difference was observed for complement deposits or expression of complement and coagulation regulators between macrovascular and microvascular EC, either at resting state or after inflammatory challenge. After prolonged exposure to hemolysis-derived heme, higher C3 deposits were found on glomerular EC, in vitro and in vivo, compared with other EC in culture and in mice organs (liver, skin, brain, lungs and heart). This could be explained by a reduced complement regulation capacity due to weaker binding of Factor H and inefficient upregulation of thrombomodulin (TM). Microvascular EC also failed to upregulate the cytoprotective heme-degrading enzyme heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1), normally induced by hemolysis products. Only HUVEC (Human Umbilical Vein EC) developed adaptation to heme, which was lost after inhibition of HO-1 activity. Interestingly, the expression of KLF2 and KLF4—known transcription factors of TM, also described as possible transcription modulators of HO-1- was weaker in micro than macrovascular EC under hemolytic conditions. Our results show that the microvascular EC, and especially glomerular EC, fail to adapt to the stress imposed by hemolysis and acquire a pro-coagulant and complement-activating phenotype. Together, these findings indicate that the vulnerability of glomerular EC to hemolysis is a key factor in aHUS, amplifying complement overactivation and thrombotic microangiopathic lesions.

Abstract
Damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are released form red blood cells (RBCs) during intravascular hemolysis (IVH). Extracellular heme, with its pro-oxidant, pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects, is sensed by innate immune cells through pattern recognition receptors such as toll-like receptor 4 and nucleotide-binding domain and leucine rich repeat containing family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), while free availability of heme is strictly controlled. Here we investigated the involvement of different hemoglobin (Hb) forms in hemolysis-associated inflammatory responses. We found that after IVH most of the extracellular heme molecules are localized in oxidized Hb forms. IVH was associated with caspase-1 activation and formation of mature IL-1β in plasma and in the liver of C57BL/6 mice. We showed that ferrylHb (FHb) induces active IL-1β production in LPS-primed macrophages in vitro and triggered intraperitoneal recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes, caspase-1 activation and active IL-1β formation in the liver of C57BL/6 mice. NLRP3 deficiency provided a survival advantage upon IVH, without influencing the extent of RBC lysis or the accumulation of oxidized Hb forms. However, both hemolysis-induced and FHb-induced pro-inflammatory responses were largely attenuated in Nlrp3-/- mice. Taken together, FHb is a potent trigger of NLRP3 activation and production of IL-1β in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that FHb may contribute to hemolysis-induced inflammation. Identification of RBC-derived DAMPs might allow us to develop new therapeutic approaches for hemolytic diseases.

Abstract
In hemolytic diseases, such as sickle cell disease (SCD), intravascular hemolysis results in the release of hemoglobin, heme, and heme-loaded membrane microvesicles in the bloodstream. Intravascular hemolysis is thus associated with inflammation and organ injury. Complement system can be activated by heme in vitro. We investigated the mechanisms by which hemolysis and red blood cell (RBC) degradation products trigger complement activation in vivo. In kidney biopsies of SCD nephropathy patients and a mouse model with SCD, we detected tissue deposits of complement C3 and C5b-9. Moreover, drug-induced intravascular hemolysis or injection of heme or hemoglobin in mice triggered C3 deposition, primarily in kidneys. Renal injury markers (Kim-1, NGAL) were attenuated in C3-/- hemolytic mice. RBC degradation products, such as heme-loaded microvesicles and heme, induced alternative and terminal complement pathway activation in sera and on endothelial surfaces, in contrast to hemoglobin. Heme triggered rapid P selectin, C3aR, and C5aR expression and downregulated CD46 on endothelial cells. Importantly, complement deposition was attenuated in vivo and in vitro by heme scavenger hemopexin. In conclusion, we demonstrate that intravascular hemolysis triggers complement activation in vivo, encouraging further studies on its role in SCD nephropathy. Conversely, heme inhibition using hemopexin may provide a novel therapeutic opportunity to limit complement activation in hemolytic diseases.
