Allosteric Model

The interactions of the three human embryonic haemoglobins with chloride ions have been investigated. Each of the three embryonic haemoglobins exhibits a unique pattern of oxygen-affinity-dependence on chloride ion concentration. Human embryonic haemoglobin Portland (zeta 2 gamma 2) is found to be completely insensitive to chloride ion concentration. Haemoglobin Gower I (zeta 2 gamma 2) shows a small concentration dependence, whilst haemoglobin Gower II (alpha 2 epsilon 2) exhibits a dependence approaching that of the adult protein. The degree of co-operativity for each protein is essentially chloride concentration independent. The chloride-dependent and -independent components of the alkaline Bohr effects have been measured for each of the embryonic haemoglobins and compared with that of the adult protein. Both the chloride-binding data and the Bohr effect have been analysed in terms of the recently developed allosteric model proposed by Perutz [Perutz, Fermi, Poyart, Pagnier and Kister (1993) J. Mol. Biol. 233, 536-545].

Allosteric Properties

In this work, initial crystallographic studies of human haemoglobin (Hb) crystallized in isoionic and oxygen-free PEG solution are presented. Under these conditions, functional measurements of the O2-linked binding of water molecules and release of protons have evidenced that Hb assumes an unforeseen new allosteric conformation. The determination of the high-resolution structure of the crystal of human deoxy-Hb fully stripped of anions may provide a structural explanation for the role of anions in the allosteric properties of Hb and, particularly, for the influence of chloride on the Bohr effect, the mechanism by which Hb oxygen affinity is regulated by pH. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.87 Å resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. Crystals belong to the space group P21212 and preliminary analysis revealed the presence of one tetramer in the asymmetric unit. The structure is currently being refined using maximum-likelihood protocols.

We investigated the role of central corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the development of cardiovascular and thermal responses induced by stress or by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in free-moving rats. Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of alpha-helical CRF9-41 (10 micrograms), a CRF receptor antagonist, significantly attenuated hypertension, tachycardia, and a rise in body temperature induced by cage-switch stress, a mild stress. However, icv injection of alpha-helical CRF9-41 (10 micrograms) had no effect on hypertension, tachycardia, or fever induced by intraperitoneal (ip) injection of IL-1 beta (2 micrograms/kg) or icv prostaglandin E2 (PGE2, 100 ng). In contrast, icv injection of alpha-helical CRF9-41 (10 micrograms) significantly attenuated hypertension, tachycardia, or fever induced by icv injection of IL-1 beta (20 ng). The present results suggest that central CRF has an important role in the development of the cage-switch stress-induced responses, but it does not seem to contribute to the hypertension, tachycardia, and fever induced by ip IL-1 beta or by central PGE2. However, it is possible that when IL-1 beta directly acts on the central nervous system, some of its actions are mediated by central CRF.

Oxygen Affinity Of Hemoglobin

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by lung inflammation and pulmonary edema, leading to arterial hypoxemia and death if the hypoxemia is severe. Strategies to correct hypoxemia have the potential to improve clinical outcomes in ARDS. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of hemoglobin modification as a novel therapy for ARDS-induced hypoxemia. The therapeutic effect of two different doses of GBT1118, a compound that increases the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin, was evaluated in a murine model of acute lung injury induced by intratracheal LPS instillation 24 h before exposure to 5% or 10% hypoxia ( n = 8–15 per group). As expected, administration of GBT1118 to mice significantly increased the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin. Compared with mice receiving vehicle control, mice treated with GBT1118 had significantly lower mortality after LPS + 5% hypoxia (47% with vehicle vs. 22% with low-dose GBT1118, 13% with high-dose GBT1118, P = 0.032 by log rank) and had reduced severity of illness. Mice treated with GBT1118 showed a sustained significant increase in SpO2 over 4 h of hypoxia exposure. Treatment with GBT1118 did not alter alveolar-capillary permeability, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) inflammatory cell counts, or BAL concentrations of IL-1β, TNF-α, or macrophage inflammatory protein-1α. High-dose GBT1118 did not affect histological lung injury but did decrease tissue hypoxia as measured intensity of pimonidazole (Hypoxyprobe) staining in liver ( P = 0.043) and kidney ( P = 0.043). We concluded that increasing the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin using GBT1118 may be a novel therapy for treating hypoxemia associated with acute lung injury. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we show that GBT1118, a compound that increases hemoglobin affinity for oxygen, improves survival and oxygen saturation in a two-hit lung injury model of intratracheal LPS without causing tissue hypoxia. Modulation of hemoglobin oxygen affinity represents a novel therapeutic approach to treatment of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, conditions characterized by hypoxemia.

Relationship Of

Studies were carried out during fetal life in sheep to determine the relationship of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG), the intracellular red cell and extracellular pH, and the switchover to adult hemoglobin synthesis in regulating the position of the fetal red cell oxygen-affinity curve in utero. Adult hemoglobin first appeared near 120 days of gestation. The mean oxygen tension at which hemoglobin is half saturated (P50) prior to 120 days of gestation remained constant at 13.9 +/- 0.3 (SD) Torr and then increased gradually as gestation continued, reaching 19 Torr at term. During the interval of fetal life studied, the level of DPG was 4.43 +/- 1.63 (SD) micromol/g Hb and the deltapH between plasma and red blood cells was 0.227 +/- 0.038 (SD); neither was affected by gestational age. The decrease in the red cell oxygen affinity after 120 days of gestation ocrrelated with the amount of adult hemoglobin present in the fetus (r = 0.78; P less than 0.001). This decrease can be attributed only to the amount of the adult-type hemoglobin present, and not to DPG, or to changes in the deltapH between plasma and red blood cells, because both remained stable during the last trimester.
