Effect of plasma processing and storage on microparticle abundance, nitric oxide scavenging, and vasoactivity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We set out to define the impact of collection, processing, and storage on plasma product microparticle (MP) abundance, potential for nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, and vasoactivity.

Study design and methods

Three currently US licensed products were tested: liquid plasma (LP), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and solvent detergent plasma (SDP), along with a product under development, spray-dried solvent detergent plasma (SD-SDP) with/without beads. Vasoactivity was assessed in vitro using rabbit aortic vascular rings; MP abundance was determined by flow cytometry; and NO scavenging capacity/rate was determined using a biochemical NO consumption assay. All samples were analyzed unprocessed and following centrifugation at two speeds (2,500× g to remove platelets, and 25,000× g to remove microparticles).

Results

Significant differences in vasoactivity were observed, with SD-SDP minus beads demonstrating the greatest constriction and FFP the lowest constriction response. All products exhibited the same total NO scavenging capacity; however, significant differences were observed in the maximal rate of scavenging, with SD-SDP minus beads and FFP reacting fastest and SDP the slowest. Across all products, platelet and microparticle depletion had no effect on vasoactivity or NO scavenging (total or rate). Microparticles (RBC derived) were found only in FFP and LP, with relative abundance (LP > FFP). Additionally, storage had no effect on total or RBC-derived MP abundance, NO scavenging, or vasoactivity.

Conclusion

Although vasoactivity differed between plasma products, we did not find similar differences in either total or RBC-derived MP abundance or NO scavenging capacity/rate.

Nitric oxide regulates neutrophil migration through microparticle formation.

Project description:The role of nitric oxide (NO) in regulating neutrophil migration has been investigated. Human neutrophil migration to interleukin (IL)-8 (1 nmol/L) was measured after a 1-hour incubation using a 96-well chemotaxis plate assay. The NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) significantly (P < 0.001) enhanced IL-8-induced migration by up to 45%. Anti-CD18 significantly (P < 0.001) inhibited both IL-8-induced and L-NAME enhanced migration. Antibodies to L-selectin or PSGL-1 had no effect on IL-8-induced migration but prevented the increased migration to IL-8 induced by L-NAME. L-NAME induced generation of neutrophil-derived microparticles that was significantly (P < 0.01) greater than untreated neutrophils or D-NAME. This microparticle formation was dependent on calpain activity and superoxide production. Only microparticles from L-NAME and not untreated or D-NAME-treated neutrophils induced a significant (P < 0.01) increase in IL-8-induced migration and transendothelial migration. Pretreatment of microparticles with antibodies to L-selectin (DREG-200) or PSGL-1 (PL-1) significantly (P < 0.001) inhibited this effect. The ability of L-NAME-induced microparticles to enhance migration was found to be dependent on the number of microparticles produced and not an increase in microparticle surface L-selectin or PSGL-1 expression. These data show that NO can modulate neutrophil migration by regulating microparticle formation.

Tissue processing of nitrite in hypoxia: an intricate interplay of nitric oxide-generating and -scavenging systems.

Project description:Although nitrite (NO(2)(-)) and nitrate (NO(3)(-)) have been considered traditionally inert byproducts of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, recent studies indicate that NO(2)(-) represents an important source of NO for processes ranging from angiogenesis through hypoxic vasodilation to ischemic organ protection. Despite intense investigation, the mechanisms through which NO(2)(-) exerts its physiological/pharmacological effects remain incompletely understood. We sought to systematically investigate the fate of NO(2)(-) in hypoxia from cellular uptake in vitro to tissue utilization in vivo using the Wistar rat as a mammalian model. We find that most tissues (except erythrocytes) produce free NO at rates that are maximal under hypoxia and that correlate robustly with each tissue's capacity for mitochondrial oxygen consumption. By comparing the kinetics of NO release before and after ferricyanide addition in tissue homogenates to mathematical models of NO(2)(-) reduction/NO scavenging, we show that the amount of nitrosylated products formed greatly exceeds what can be accounted for by NO trapping. This difference suggests that such products are formed directly from NO(2)(-), without passing through the intermediacy of free NO. Inhibitor and subcellular fractionation studies indicate that NO(2)(-) reductase activity involves multiple redundant enzymatic systems (i.e. heme, iron-sulfur cluster, and molybdenum-based reductases) distributed throughout different cellular compartments and acting in concert to elicit NO signaling. These observations hint at conserved roles for the NO(2)(-)-NO pool in cellular processes such as oxygen-sensing and oxygen-dependent modulation of intermediary metabolism.

Effect of storage levels of nitric oxide derivatives in blood components.

Project description:BackgroundPotential deleterious effects of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, especially from blood kept at length, have been ascribed to biochemical changes during storage, including those of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. Study methods and design: In this study, NO metabolites, nitrite and nitrate, were quantified in RBCs and whole blood with time of storage. Whole blood (WB), leukoreduced (LR), and non-leukoreduced (NLR) components were obtained from healthy volunteer donors and stored in polyvinyl chloride bags for 42 days. Nitrite and nitrate were measured using reductive gas-phase chemiluminescence.ResultsNitrite concentrations initially decreased rapidly from about 150nmol/L, but stabilized at about 44nmol/L in room air for up to 42 days. Nitrate concentrations remained stable during storage at about 35µmol/L. Cells from bags maintained in an argon chamber showed decreased nitrite levels compared to those maintained in room air. Inhibition of enzymes implicated in the NO cycle did not alter nitrite levels.ConclusionAs erythrocytes may contribute to the control of blood flow and oxygen delivery through reduction of nitrite to NO under hypoxic conditions, the present findings provide insight into possible effects of blood transfusion. These measurements may explain some adverse effects of RBC transfusion and suggest ways of optimizing the preservation of stored blood.

Nitric oxide scavenging by red blood cell microparticles and cell-free hemoglobin as a mechanism for the red cell storage lesion.

Project description:Intravascular red cell hemolysis impairs nitric oxide (NO)-redox homeostasis, producing endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and vasculopathy. Red blood cell storage under standard conditions results in reduced integrity of the erythrocyte membrane, with formation of exocytic microvesicles or microparticles and hemolysis, which we hypothesized could impair vascular function and contribute to the putative storage lesion of banked blood.We now find that storage of human red blood cells under standard blood banking conditions results in the accumulation of cell-free and microparticle-encapsulated hemoglobin, which, despite 39 days of storage, remains in the reduced ferrous oxyhemoglobin redox state and stoichiometrically reacts with and scavenges the vasodilator NO. Using stopped-flow spectroscopy and laser-triggered NO release from a caged NO compound, we found that both free hemoglobin and microparticles react with NO about 1000 times faster than with intact erythrocytes. In complementary in vivo studies, we show that hemoglobin, even at concentrations below 10 ?mol/L (in heme), produces potent vasoconstriction when infused into the rat circulation, whereas controlled infusions of methemoglobin and cyanomethemoglobin, which do not consume NO, have substantially reduced vasoconstrictor effects. Infusion of the plasma from stored human red blood cell units into the rat circulation produces significant vasoconstriction related to the magnitude of storage-related hemolysis.The results of these studies suggest new mechanisms for endothelial injury and impaired vascular function associated with the most fundamental of storage lesions, hemolysis.

Hemoglobin ?/eNOS coupling at myoendothelial junctions is required for nitric oxide scavenging during vasoconstriction.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Hemoglobin ? (Hb ?) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) form a macromolecular complex at myoendothelial junctions; the functional role of this interaction remains undefined. To test if coupling of eNOS and Hb ? regulates nitric oxide signaling, vascular reactivity, and blood pressure using a mimetic peptide of Hb ? to disrupt this interaction. APPROACH AND RESULTS:In silico modeling of Hb ? and eNOS identified a conserved sequence of interaction. By mutating portions of Hb ?, we identified a specific sequence that binds eNOS. A mimetic peptide of the Hb ? sequence (Hb ? X) was generated to disrupt this complex. Using in vitro binding assays with purified Hb ? and eNOS and ex vivo proximity ligation assays on resistance arteries, we have demonstrated that Hb ? X significantly decreased interaction between eNOS and Hb ?. Fluorescein isothiocyanate labeling of Hb ? X revealed localization to holes in the internal elastic lamina (ie, myoendothelial junctions). To test the functional effects of Hb ? X, we measured cyclic guanosine monophosphate and vascular reactivity. Our results reveal augmented cyclic guanosine monophosphate production and altered vasoconstriction with Hb ? X. To test the in vivo effects of these peptides on blood pressure, normotensive and hypertensive mice were injected with Hb ? X, which caused a significant decrease in blood pressure; injection of Hb ? X into eNOS(-/-) mice had no effect. CONCLUSIONS:These results identify a novel sequence on Hb ? that is important for Hb ?/eNOS complex formation and is critical for nitric oxide signaling at myoendothelial junctions.

Chemical nature of nitric oxide storage forms in rat vascular tissue.

Project description:Endothelial NO production results in local formation of adducts that may act as storage forms of NO. Because little is known about their chemical nature, concentrations, and possible role in vascular biology, we sought to characterize those species basally present in rat aorta, using two independent approaches. In the first approach, tissue homogenates were analyzed by using chemiluminescence- and ion-chromatography-based techniques that allow trace-level quantification of NO-related compounds in complex biological matrices. In the second approach, NO stores were characterized by their ability to release NO when illuminated with light and subsequently relax vascular smooth muscle (photorelaxation). The latter included a careful assessment of action spectra for photorelaxation, taking into account the light-scattering properties of the tissue and the storage depletion rates induced by exposure to controlled levels of light. Biochemical analyses revealed that aortic tissues contained 10 +/- 1 microM nitrite, 42 +/- 7 microM nitrate, 40 +/- 6 nM S-nitroso, and 33 +/- 6 nM N-nitroso compounds (n = 4-8). The functional data obtained suggest that the NO photolytically released in the tissue originated from species with photophysical properties similar to those reported for low-molecular-weight S-nitrosothiols, as well as from nitrite. The relative contribution of these potential NO stores to the extent of photorelaxation was consistent with their concentrations detected biochemically in vascular tissue when their photoactivity was taken into account. We conclude that intravascular nitroso species and nitrite both have the potential to release physiologically relevant quantities of NO independent of enzymatic control by NO synthase.

Dioxygen and nitric oxide scavenging by Treponema denticola flavodiiron protein: a mechanistic paradigm for catalysis.

Project description:Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) contain a unique active site consisting of a non-heme diiron carboxylate site proximal to a flavin mononucleotide (FMN). FDPs serve as the terminal components for reductive scavenging of dioxygen (to water) or nitric oxide (to nitrous oxide), which combats oxidative or nitrosative stress in many bacteria. Characterizations of FDPs from spirochetes or from any oral microbes have not been previously reported. Here, we report characterization of an FDP from the anaerobic spirochete, Treponema (T.) denticola, which is associated with chronic periodontitis. The isolated T. denticola FDP exhibited efficient four-electron dioxygen reductase activity and lower but significant anaerobic nitric oxide reductase activity. A mutant T. denticola strain containing the inactivated FDP-encoding gene was significantly more air-sensitive than the wild-type strain. Single turnover reactions of the four-electron-reduced FDP (FMNH2-Fe(II)Fe(II)) (FDPred) with O2 monitored on the milliseconds to seconds time scale indicated initial rapid formation of a spectral feature consistent with a cis-?-1,2-peroxo-diferric intermediate, which triggered two-electron oxidation of FMNH2. Reaction of FDPred with NO showed apparent cooperativity between binding of the first and second NO to the diferrous site. The resulting diferrous dinitrosyl complex triggered two-electron oxidation of the FMNH2. Our cumulative results on this and other FDPs indicate that smooth two-electron FMNH2 oxidation triggered by the FDPred/substrate complex and overall four-electron oxidation of FDPred to FDPox constitutes a mechanistic paradigm for both dioxygen and nitric oxide reductase activities of FDPs. Four-electron reductive O2 scavenging by FDPs could contribute to oxidative stress protection in many other oral bacteria.
