Why HO-1?
Hypothesis:
  HO-1 inhibits vaso-occlusion in
transgenic sickle mice in response
    to hypoxia-reoxygenation.
Murine Model of Vaso-occlusion
• Normal and transgenic sickle mice implanted with dorsal
  skin fold chambers

• Wait 3 days and select and map flowing venules at
  baseline

• Expose mice to 1 hour of hypoxia (7% O2) followed by
  re-oxygenation in room air

• After 1 and 4 hours, re-examine the same mapped
  venules, count how many vessels become static
  (no flow), and calculate percent stasis
Stasis occurs in the subcutaneous venules inside the
 dorsal skin fold chamber of transgenic sickle mice,
but not normal mice after hypoxia and reoxygenation

  implanted with dorsal skin fold chambers

 Wait 3 days, select and map flowing venules at baseline

 Infuse stroma-free hemoglobin, hemin, water to induce
  hemolysis, or saline

 After 1 and 4 hours, re-examine the same mapped

Conclusions
   HO-1 upregulation in sickle mice inhibits vascular stasis induced by
    hypoxia-reoxygenation.

   Heme, released from methemoglobin, elicits vascular stasis in
    transgenic sickle mice, but not normal C57 mice.

   Hemin triggers rapid Weibel-Palade body P-selectin and von
    Willebrand factor exocytosis on endothelium.

   P-selectin is necessary for hemin-induced vascular stasis in sickle
    mice.

   TLR4 signaling plays a critical role in Weibel-Palade body exocytosis
    and vaso-occlusion in sickle cell disease.
Speculation
   Removal and detoxification of hemoglobin and heme are
    vital during hemolysis. Haptoglobin and hemopexin
    supplements or modulators should be developed for
    sickle cell disease.

   Novel therapies focusing on the consequences of
    endothelial cell/heme interactions such as TLR4
    inhibitors or P-selectin antagonists should be considered
    in sickle cell disease.

   These observations have broader implications for sepsis,
    hemolytic anemia, blood transfusion and even
    atherosclerosis.

  • 15. Experimental Outline  NY1DD transgenic sickle mice and C57 normal mice implanted with dorsal skin fold chambers  Wait 3 days, select and map flowing venules at baseline  Infuse stroma-free hemoglobin, hemin, water to induce hemolysis, or saline  After 1 and 4 hours, re-examine the same mapped venules, count how many vessels become static (no flow) and calculate percent stasis

  • 41. Calphostin C Inhibits Vascular Stasis in Transgenic Sickle Mice
  • 42. Conclusions  HO-1 upregulation in sickle mice inhibits vascular stasis induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation.  Heme, released from methemoglobin, elicits vascular stasis in transgenic sickle mice, but not normal C57 mice.  Hemin triggers rapid Weibel-Palade body P-selectin and von Willebrand factor exocytosis on endothelium.  P-selectin is necessary for hemin-induced vascular stasis in sickle mice.  TLR4 signaling plays a critical role in Weibel-Palade body exocytosis and vaso-occlusion in sickle cell disease.
  • 43. Speculation  Removal and detoxification of hemoglobin and heme are vital during hemolysis. Haptoglobin and hemopexin supplements or modulators should be developed for sickle cell disease.  Novel therapies focusing on the consequences of endothelial cell/heme interactions such as TLR4 inhibitors or P-selectin antagonists should be considered in sickle cell disease.  These observations have broader implications for sepsis, hemolytic anemia, blood transfusion and even atherosclerosis.

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Free heme is a tightly regualted by the body because under oxidative stress the heme ring can be opened releasing catalytic iron. Via the fenton reaction, as seen on the left, this free iron can then generage a hydroxyl radical. Therefore, as illustrated as on the right, a number of conditions such as hemorrhage, the afforementioned SCD, malaria, and other conditions leads to a cycle of hemolysis, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
