Synthesis and Biophysical Characterization of Polymerized Synthesis and Biophysical Characterization of Polymerized Hemoglobin Dispersions of Varying Size and Oxygen Affinity as Potential Oxygen Carriers for use in Transfusion Medicine Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yipin Zhou, M.S., B.S. Graduate Program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Andre Francis Palmer, Advisor Jeffrey J. Chalmers Shang-Tian Yang Copyright by Yipin Zhou 2011 ABSTRACT Blood transfusion can be compromised by a number of physiological and practical issues such as the risk of contracting infectious diseases, initiation of harmful immunological responses, the red blood cell (RBC) storage lesion and the shrinking availability of RBCs. Thus, there is a need to develop safe and efficacious O2 carriers for use in transfusion medicine as RBC substitutes in order to maintain proper tissue and organ oxygenation. Hemoglobin (Hb) is the most prevalent protein inside the RBC and is the natural carrier of O2 in vivo. Therefore, Hb-based O2 carriers (HBOCs) are considered as good candidates for RBC substitutes. Currently, HBOCs can be manufactured by conjugation of molecules to the surface of Hb, encapsulation of Hb inside particles, site-directed mutagenesis of Hb and cross- linking/polymerizing Hb. Among these approaches, polymerization of human or bovine Hb with the difunctional cross-linking reagent glutaraldehyde represents a simple strategy to synthesize HBOCs. In fact, the two commercial polymerized Hb (PolyHb) products Hemopure® (glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine Hb, OPK Biotech, Cambridge, MA) and PolyHeme® (pyridoxalated glutaraldehyde polymerized human Hb, Northfield Laboratories Inc., Evanston, IL), which have failed Phase III clinical trials, are based on this approach. These commercial PolyHb solutions face serious safety issues including ii the induction of vasoconstriction in the microcirculation and the development of systemic hypertension. These side-effects are due to the existence of the Hb tetramer or dimer in the blood, which subsequently extravasate through the blood vessel wall and scavenge the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) or trigger an autoregulatory response of the blood vessel to reduce the oversupply of O2 to surrounding tissues. Therefore, the goal of this research is to synthesize a new generation of HBOCs with fewer side-effects, longer circulation lifetime in the blood and better oxygenation potential. In this research, we hypothesize that increasing HBOC size will reduce vasoconstriction in the microcirculation, systemic hypertension as well as oxidative damage to tissues and organs. We propose to synthesize a small library of PolyHbs of varying size by cross-linking/polymerizing bovine Hb with the cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde. Also, since there is a lot of debate in the blood substitute research community about the effect of O2 affinity on vasoactivity and hypertension, we will engineer PolyHb O2 affinity by synthesizing PolyHb with both low oxygen affinity (L- PolyHb) and high oxygen affinity (H-PolyHb). After synthesizing the PolyHb solutions, two mathematical models will be developed with the finite element analysis software COMSOL Multiphysics (COMSOL, Burlington, MA) to evaluate the ability of PolyHbs to transport O2 both in a hepatic hollow fiber bioreactor and an arteriole. In this dissertation, we demonstrated that by maintaining bovine Hb (bHb) in either the low O2 affinity tense state (T-state) or high O2 affinity relaxed state (R-state) during the polymerization reaction and purifying the PolyHb via tangential flow filtration, we were able to synthesize novel ultrahigh molecular weight (MW) PolyHbs with distinct O2 affinities with no tetrameric Hb, high viscosity, low colloid osmotic pressure and the iii ability to maintain O2 dissociation, CO association and NO dioxygenation reactions. The PolyHbs caused less in vitro RBC aggregation than 6% dextran (500 kDa) and underwent little dissociation in vivo. Then, we systematically investigated the effect of varying the glutaraldehyde to Hb (G:Hb) molar ratio on the biophysical properties of PolyHb polymerized in either the low or high O2 affinity state. Our results showed that the MW and molecular diameters of the resulting PolyHbs increased with increasing G:Hb molar ratio. For low O2 affinity PolyHbs, increasing the G:Hb molar ratio reduced the O2 affinity while for high O2 affinity PolyHbs, increasing the G:Hb molar ratio led to increased O2 affinity compared to unmodified bHb and low O2 affinity PolyHbs. In addition, increasing the G:Hb molar ratio could increase the zeta (ζ) potential of L-PolyHbs making them more stable in aqueous solution. However, both L- and H-PolyHbs had higher autoxidation rates than unmodified bHb with L-PolyHbs autoxidizing faster than H-PolyHbs. All PolyHbs displayed higher viscosities compared to unmodified bHb and whole blood, which also increased with increasing G:Hb molar ratio. In contrast, the colloid osmotic pressure of PolyHbs decreased with increasing G:Hb molar ratio. Two mathematical models were developed after investigating the synthesis and biophysical properties of the PolyHbs. In an O2 transport model of a hepatic hollow fiber bioreactor, L-PolyHbs showed similar oxygenation ability to the commercial product Oxyglobin® (glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine Hb, OPK Biotech, Cambridge, MA) and oxygenated the bioreactor better than H-PolyHbs. In a combined NO and O2 transport model in an arteriole facilitated by PolyHb solutions, high viscosity PolyHb solutions promoted blood vessel wall shear stress dependent generation of the vasodilator NO iv especially in the vicinity of the blood vessel wall compared to the commercial PolyHb Oxyglobin® although NO scavenging in the arteriole lumen was unavoidable. We also observed that all PolyHbs could improve tissue oxygenation under anemic conditions under hypoxic conditions, while L-PolyHbs were more effective under normoxic conditions than H-PolyHbs. In addition, all ultrahigh MW PolyHb displayed higher O2 transfer rates than the commercial HBOC Oxyglobin®. This project is significant in that it is a systematic investigation of the synthesis, biophysical properties and theoretical oxygenation abilities of PolyHb polymerized with either low (L) or high (H-) oxygen affinity. The knowledge gained from this study should guide the design of the next generation of PolyHbs for use in tissue engineering and transfusion medicine. v Dedicated to my wife and parents vi Acknowledgements I am heartily thankful to my advisor, Professor Andre F.

  • Your Baby Has Hemoglobin E Or Hemoglobin O Trait for Parents
    NEW HAMPSHIRE NEWBORN SCREENING PROGRAM Your Baby Has Hemoglobin E or Hemoglobin O Trait For Parents All infants born in New Hampshire are screened for a panel of conditions at birth. A small amount of blood was collected from your baby’s heel and sent to the laboratory for testing. One of the tests looked at the hemoglobin in your baby’s blood. Your baby’s test found that your baby has either hemoglobin E trait or hemoglobin O trait. The newborn screen- ing test cannot tell the difference between hemoglobin E and hemoglobin O so we do not know which one your baby has. Both hemoglobin E trait and hemoglobin O trait are common and do not cause health problems. Hemoglobin E trait and hemoglobin O trait will never develop to disease. What is hemoglobin? Hemoglobin is the part of the blood that carries oxygen to all parts of the body. There are different types of hemoglobin. The type of hemoglobin we have is determined from genes that we inherit from our parents. Genes are the instructions for how our body develops and functions. We have two copies of each gene; one copy is inherited from our mother in the egg and one copy is inherited from our father in the sperm. What are hemoglobin E trait and hemoglobin O trait? The normal, and most common, type of hemoglobin is called hemoglobin A. Hemoglobin E trait is when a baby inherited one gene for hemoglobin A from one parent and one gene for hemoglobin E from the other parent.

  • Hemoglobin C Harlem Or Hemoglobin O Arab Trait- for Physicians
    New Hampshire Newborn Screening Program Hemoglobin C harlem or hemoglobin O arab Trait- For Physicians As part of routine newborn screening all babies are tested for sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. Screening of all specimens is done by isoelectric focusing (IEF). Results are then confirmed by IEF and citrate agar electrophoresis. Your patient has tested positive for hemoglobin C harlem trait or hemoglobin O arab trait. Our testing methods are unable to distinguish between hemoglobin C harlem, hemoglobin O arab and other variants that migrate in the same region. Although there is no immediate clinical significance, this information is important for future reproductive decisions of the child and other family members. Possible Newborn Screening Results: Hemoglobin F Fetal hemoglobin, present in declining amounts until 6 months after birth A Normal adult hemoglobin B Hemoglobin Bart’s H Hemoglobin C Harlem or Hemoglobin O arab FA: Normal newborn hemoglobin pattern FAH: Hemoglobin C Harlem trait OR hemoglobin O arab trait FACB: Hemoglobin C trait with Hemoglobin Bart’s (see separate Hemoglobin Bart’s information sheet) Follow Up Recommendations: Newborn screening cannot make a distinction between Hemoglobin C Harlem and O arab. The baby should have a CBC and hemoglobin electrophoresis to verify the NBS results and to help distinguish between hemoglobin C harlem trait and hemoglobin O arab trait. The testing can be performed anytime after fetal hemoglobin levels normalize, which occurs at approximately 6 months of age. The family should be offered genetic counseling for parental testing to assess the risk to future pregnancies and to discuss the inheritance of Hemoglobin C.

    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 Structural And Functional Diversity Of Microbial Globins 1Shiv Kumar 1Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences (School of Physiotherapy and Paramedical Sciences), Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab (India) – 1444 Email ID: [email protected]; ABSTRACT Hemoglobin and myoglobin are heme proteins that can bind oxygen reversibly and were first reported in vertebrates. Later on, occurrence of hemoglobin was found in all forms of life ranging from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Myxobacteria are Gram-negative, rod-shaped eubacteria and that belong to delta proteobacteria. They predominantly thrive in soil and have very large genome size with high G+C content in comparison to other eubacteria. It is evident that the globins have been characterized predominantly from bacteria involved in photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation andpathogenicity, where these are implicated in and the protection of photosynthetic machinery from the oxidative damage,protection of nitrogen fixing enzyme from nitrosative and oxidative stress and the virulence of the host, respectively. Keywords: Myxobacteria, hemoglobin, myoglobin, phytoglobin, androglobin. 1. INTRODUCTION Globins are heme containing proteins which comprise five to eight α-helices that are connected by short intervening loops and have a common characteristic of binding oxygen reversibly [1-4]. These are widely reported in all the three domains of life forms such as Archaebacteria, eubacteria and eukaryotes [1]. In addition to their well-known function of oxygenstorage and transport, they are also involved in nitric oxide detoxification, oxygensensing or act as oxidation-reduction sensors [2]. Globins containhighly conserved structural folds, which build the protein crevice to hold the heme group [5, 6].

    Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual—2nd Edition PART 8 GLOSSARY This part of the manual presents definitions for the various transit terms discussed and referenced in the manual. Other important terms related to transit planning and operations are included so that this glossary can serve as a readily accessible and easily updated resource for transit applications beyond the evaluation of transit capacity and quality of service. As a result, this glossary includes local definitions and local terminology, even when these may be inconsistent with formal usage in the manual. Many systems have their own specific, historically derived, terminology: a motorman and guard on one system can be an operator and conductor on another. Modal definitions can be confusing. What is clearly light rail by definition may be termed streetcar, semi-metro, or rapid transit in a specific city. It is recommended that in these cases local usage should prevail.
