Since severely ill patients often show elevated methemoglobin (MetHb) and carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentrations in their blood as a marker of disease severity, we aimed to summarize the currently available published study results (case reports and cross-sectional studies) on MetHb and COHb concentrations in the blood of COVID-19 patients. To this end, a systematic literature research was performed. For the case of MetHb, seven publications were identified (five case reports and two cross-sectional studies), and for the case of COHb, three studies were found (two cross-sectional studies and one case report). The findings reported in the publications show that an increase in MetHb and COHb can happen in COVID-19 patients, especially in critically ill ones, and that MetHb and COHb can increase to dangerously high levels during the course of the disease in some patients.

  • Concentration of NADH-Cytochrome B5 Reductase in Erythrocytes of Normal and Methemoglobinemic Individuals Measured with a Quantitative Radioimmunoblotting Assay
    Concentration of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase in erythrocytes of normal and methemoglobinemic individuals measured with a quantitative radioimmunoblotting assay. N Borgese, … , G Pietrini, S Gaetani J Clin Invest. 1987;80(5):1296-1302. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113205. Research Article The activity of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (NADH-methemoglobin reductase) is generally reduced in red cells of patients with recessive hereditary methemoglobinemia. To determine whether this lower activity is due to reduced concentration of an enzyme with normal catalytic properties or to reduced activity of an enzyme present at normal concentration, we measured erythrocyte reductase concentrations with a quantitative radioimmunoblotting method, using affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies against rat liver microsomal reductase as probe. In five patients with the "mild" form of recessive hereditary methemoglobinemia, in which the activity of erythrocyte reductase was 4-13% of controls, concentrations of the enzyme, measured as antigen, were also reduced to 7-20% of the control values. The concentration of membrane-bound reductase antigen, measured in the ghost fraction, was similarly reduced. Thus, in these patients, the reductase deficit is caused mainly by a reduction in NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase concentration, although altered catalytic properties of the enzyme may also contribute to the reduced enzyme activity.

A. Rashidt, Yukuo Yoshida, Toshimasa Kajihara, and Bunji Hagihara LABORATORY OF MOLECULAR GENETICS AND DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY, OSAKA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL, OSAKA, JAPAN Communicated by Britton Chance, April 1, 1970 Abstract. The primary structures of human, bovine, and chicken cytochrome bN have been determined and compared with that of the previously studied rabbit protein. One peptide containing 31 amino acid residues and another con- taining 10 were found common to all four species. The substitutions of amino acids between species could be accounted for mainly by single base exchange, with a few exceptional double base exchanges for the chicken. Results for bovine cytochrome b5 differ significantly from those previously reported for calf cyto- chrome N5. Cytochrome b5 is a hemoprotein with a role in the microsomal electron- transport system. The prosthetic group of the protein is a protoheme identical with that of hemoglobin and myoglobin.' The main interest of the work to be described resides in the relationship between the function and structure of cytochrome b5, hemoglobin, and myoglobin. Primary and tertiary structures of hemoglobin and myoglobin, together with details of their functional roles, have been reported.2-5 In contrast, little is known about cytochrome b5 except for the primary structures of two cytochromes b5.6-8 This communication describes and compares the primary structures of human, bovine, rabbit, and chicken hepatic cytochrome b5.

  • Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Gene Mutation Promotes Tumor Growth in Bladder Cancer
    Research Article Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Gene Mutation Promotes Tumor Growth in Bladder Cancer Santanu Dasgupta, Mohammad Obaidul Hoque, Sunil Upadhyay, and David Sidransky Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Division of Head and Neck Cancer Research, Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Abstract reported mutations in a number of mitochondria-encoded genes in CYTB primary bladder cancers including a 21-bp deletion (from Mitochondria-encoded Cytochrome B ( ) gene mutations CYTB were reported in different cancers, but the effect of these nucleotide position 15,642–15,662) of (6). Here, we examined mutations on cellular metabolism and growth is unknown. In a the effect of this 21-bp deletion mutation in a model of bladder cancer. We hypothesized that the exogenously overexpressed murine xenograft and human model of bladder cancer, we mt CYTB show the functional effect of overexpression of a 21-bp deletion mutant ( ) protein in mitochondria could contribute to mutation (mt)ofCYTB. Overexpression of mtCYTB generated enhanced tumor growth. increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) accompanied by increased oxygen consumption and lactate production. Materials and Methods MtCYTB overexpression induced significant tumor growth in vitro in vivo Cell lines and reagents. The MB49 cell line is a carcinogen-induced and by triggering rapid cell cycle progression transitional cell carcinoma derived from C57BL/6 male mice and cultured K through up-regulation of the nuclear factor- B2 signaling as described (10). We procured Simian virus 40–imortalized human pathway. Tumor-generated ROS induced in vitro lysis of uroepithelial cells (SV-HUC)-1 cells from American Type Culture normal splenocytes. Thus, we present physiologic and Collection.
