Pb-Induced Eryptosis May Provoke Thrombosis Prior to Hemolysis.

ABSTRACT: Lead (Pb) is a common metal, which can be toxic to the human body via the pollution of water or food, and can cause anemia and other diseases. However, what happens before hemolysis and anemia caused by Pb poisoning is unclear. Here, we demonstrated Pb can cause procoagulant activity of erythroid cells leading to thrombosis before hemolysis. In freshly isolated human erythroid cells, we observed that Pb resulted in hemolysis in both concentration- and time-dependent manners, but that no lysis occurred in Pb-exposed erythroid cells (≤20 μM for 1 h). Pb treatment did not cause shape changes at up to 0.5 h incubation but at 1 h incubation echinocyte and echino-spherocyte shape changes were observed, indicating that Pb can exaggerate a concentration- and time-dependent trend of shape changes in erythroid cells. After Pb treatment, ROS-independent eryptosis was shown with no increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but with an increase of [Ca²⁺]_i and caspase 3 activity. With a thrombosis mouse model, we observed increased thrombus by Pb treatment (0 or 25 mg/kg). In brief, prior to hemolysis, we demonstrated Pb can cause ROS-independent but [Ca²⁺]_i-dependent eryptosis, which might provoke thrombosis.

Intravascular hemolysis and multitreatment predict thrombosis in patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Project description:BackgroundThrombosis may complicate autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), but its predictors are still lacking, and no clear-cut indications for anticoagulant prophylaxis are available.ObjectivesTo characterize frequency and severity of thromboses in AIHA patients and identify risk factors for thrombosis that may advise primary anticoagulant prophylaxis.Patients/methodsA total of 287 consecutive AIHA patients diagnosed and followed from 1978 at a tertiary Italian center were retrospectively studied; 174 of them were prospectively evaluated from January 2020 until December 2021. AIHA relapse, thrombosis occurrence, and primary anticoagulant prophylaxis were evaluated.ResultsThirty-three AIHA patients (11.4%) experienced thrombosis, 70% of whom hospitalized. The cumulative thrombosis incidence was higher in patients with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥ 1.5 (hazard ratio [HR] 3.22), in those experiencing infections (HR 3.57), receiving transfusions (HR 3.06), rituximab (HR 3.3), or cyclophosphamide (HR 2.67). By multivariable analysis, LDH, transfusions, rituximab, and cyclophosphamide treatment emerged as independent factors associated with thrombosis. Among 174 patients prospectively followed in the past 2 years, we observed 70 acute hemolytic episodes in 45 patients; 33/45 displayed LDH ≥1.5 × upper limit of normal, and 17 received anticoagulant prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin for a median of 70 days (30-300). In those receiving prophylaxis no thrombotic complications occurred, whereas five thrombotic episodes were registered in the remaining 16 cases.ConclusionsThrombosis was observed in about 11% of AIHA patients, mainly grade 3, and associated with intravascular hemolysis, need of transfusions, multitreatment, and infections, advising primary anticoagulant prophylaxis in these settings.

Hemolysis induced by PMIVSD occluder.

Project description:Hemolysis related to occluder, prosthetic valve, and prosthetic ring used for mitral valve annuloplasty are not very unusual. However, hemolysis related to transcathetor closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PMIVSD) is infrequent. A close follow-up for spontaneous resolution with or without blood transfusion has been reported in a few cases. Occasionally, surgical retrieval is unavoidable or lifelong blood transfusion is required if surgery cannot be done because of higher risk. In this illustration, we have showed a close follow-up of a case of hemolysis induced by atrial septal occluder used for VSD closure after myocardial infarction. Despite successful device closure of PMIVSD which is difficult, a close watch is needed for complications like residual leak, device embolization, and hemolysis.

Eryptosis and Malaria: New Experimental Guidelines and Re-Evaluation of the Antimalarial Potential of Eryptosis Inducers.

Project description:Erythrocytes possess an unusual programmed cell death mechanism termed eryptosis, and several compounds have been previously claimed to induce eryptosis in vitro. Malaria parasites (genus Plasmodium) reside in erythrocytes during the pathogenic part of their life cycle, and the potential of several eryptosis inducers to act as antimalarials has been tested in recent years. However, the eryptosis-inducing capacity of these compounds varies significantly between eryptosis-focused studies and malaria investigations. Here, we investigated the reasons for these discrepancies, we developed a protocol to investigate eryptosis in malaria cultures and we re-evaluated the potential of eryptosis inducers as antimalarials. First, we showed that eryptosis read-out in vitro is dependent on culture conditions. Indeed, conditions that have consistently been used to study eryptosis do not support P. falciparum growth and prime erythrocytes for eryptosis. Next, we defined culture conditions that allow the detection of eryptosis while supporting P. falciparum survival. Finally, we selected six eryptosis-inducers based on their clinical use, molecular target and antimalarial activities, and re-evaluated their eryptosis inducing capacities and their potential as antimalarials. We demonstrate that none of these compounds affect the viability of naïve or P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes in vitro. Nevertheless, three of these compounds impair parasite development, although through a mechanism unrelated to eryptosis and yet to be elucidated. We conclude that careful consideration of experimental set up is key for the accurate assessment of the eryptosis-inducing potential of compounds and their evaluation as potential antimalarials.

Smoking Induced Hemolysis: Spectral and microscopic investigations.

Project description:Smoking is one of the major causes of lifestyle associated mortality and morbidity such as cancer of the oral cavity and lungs, and also cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we have provided evidences for the smoking-induced hemolysis using two methods: spectra of blood components and atomic force microscopic analysis of surface morphology. A total of 62 subjects (control = 31; smoker = 31: 21 male; 10 female in each set) were considered for the study. The findings indicate that smoking leads to potholes on the surface, swelling of shape, rupturing of erythrocytes, removal of hematoporphyrin and flushing into the plasma as metabolites of the erythrocyte. The overall morphology of the erythrocytes of the smoker group appears more like a Mexican hat. The mean surface roughness was 5.5 ± 3 nm for the smoker group, but 1.2 ± 0.2 nm for the control group. Such damages might help the toxins, (CO, peroxidants, aldehydes etc.,) to gain easy access and get strongly absorbed by the hemoglobin, leading to enhanced rates of hemolysis as shown by the spectral features of metabolites. This indicates that the average life span of the smoker's erythrocytes is significantly less than that of the control group.

Hemolysis-induced lethality involves inflammasome activation by heme.

Project description:The increase of extracellular heme is a hallmark of hemolysis or extensive cell damage. Heme has prooxidant, cytotoxic, and inflammatory effects, playing a central role in the pathogenesis of malaria, sepsis, and sickle cell disease. However, the mechanisms by which heme is sensed by innate immune cells contributing to these diseases are not fully characterized. We found that heme, but not porphyrins without iron, activated LPS-primed macrophages promoting the processing of IL-1β dependent on nucleotide-binding domain and leucine rich repeat containing family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3). The activation of NLRP3 by heme required spleen tyrosine kinase, NADPH oxidase-2, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, and K(+) efflux, whereas it was independent of heme internalization, lysosomal damage, ATP release, the purinergic receptor P2X7, and cell death. Importantly, our results indicated the participation of macrophages, NLRP3 inflammasome components, and IL-1R in the lethality caused by sterile hemolysis. Thus, understanding the molecular pathways affected by heme in innate immune cells might prove useful to identify new therapeutic targets for diseases that have heme release.

Pressure-induced Pb-Pb bonding and phase transition in Pb<sub>2</sub>SnO<sub>4</sub>.

Project description:High-pressure single-crystal to 20 GPa and powder diffraction measurements to 50 GPa, show that the structure of Pb2SnO4 strongly distorts on compression with an elongation of one axis. A structural phase transition occurs between 10 GPa and 12 GPa, with a change of space group from Pbam to Pnam. The resistivity decreases by more than six orders of magnitude when pressure is increased from ambient conditions to 50 GPa. This insulator-to-semiconductor transition is accompanied by a reversible appearance change from transparent to opaque. Density functional theory-based calculations show that at ambient conditions the channels in the structure host the stereochemically-active Pb 6s2 lone electron pairs. On compression the lone electron pairs form bonds between Pb2+ ions. Also provided is an assignment of irreducible representations to the experimentally observed Raman bands.

MFSD7C protects hemolysis-induced lung impairments by inhibiting ferroptosis

Project description:Hemolysis drives susceptibility to lung injury and predicts poor outcomes in diseases, such as malaria and sickle cell disease (SCD). However, the underlying pathological mechanism remains unknown. Here, we report that major facilitator superfamily domain containing 7C (MFSD7C) protects the lung from hemolytic-induced damage by preventing ferroptosis. Mechanistically, MFSD7C deficiency leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid remodeling caused by increased fatty acid uptake and decreased consumption, the excess accumulation of lipids sensitizes cells to peroxidation and ferroptosis. Moreover, systematic delivery of MFSD7C mRNA-loaded nanoparticles to the lungs effectively prevented lung injury in mice with hemolysis. These findings present the detailed link between hemolytic complications and ferroptosis, providing potential therapeutic targets for patients with hemolytic disorders.

Hemopexin as an Inhibitor of Hemolysis-Induced Complement Activation.

Project description:Hemopexin is the main plasmatic scavenger of cell-free heme, released in the context of intravascular hemolysis or major cell injury. Heme is indispensable for the oxygen transport by hemoglobin but when released outside of the erythrocytes it becomes a danger-associated molecular pattern, contributing to tissue injury. One of the mechanisms of pro-inflammatory action of heme is to activate the innate immune complement cascade. Therefore, we hypothesized that injection of hemopexin will prevent hemolysis-induced complement activation. Human plasma-derived hemopexin is compatible with the heme clearance machinery of the mice. 100 or 500 mg/kg of hemopexin was injected in C57Bl/6 mice before treatment with phenylhydrazine (inducer of erythrocytes lysis) or with PBS as a control. Blood was taken at different timepoints to determine the pharmacokinetic of injected hemopexin in presence and absence of hemolysis. Complement activation was determined in plasma, by the C3 cleavage (western blot) and in the kidneys (immunofluorescence). Kidney injury was evaluated by urea and creatinine in plasma and renal NGAL and HO-1 gene expression were measured. The pharmacokinetic properties of hemopexin (mass spectrometry) in the hemolytic mice were affected by the target-mediated drug disposition phenomenon due to the high affinity of binding of hemopexin to heme. Hemolysis induced complement overactivation and signs of mild renal dysfunction at 6 h, which were prevented by hemopexin, except for the NGAL upregulation. The heme-degrading capacity of the kidney, measured by the HO-1 expression, was not affected by the treatment. These results encourage further studies of hemopexin as a therapeutic agent in models of diseases with heme overload.

Metformin reduces air pollution-induced thrombosis

Project description:As our results suggested that metformin acts to limit mitochondrial ROS and calcium-mediated activation of IL-6, we reasoned it would likely affect other processes in alveolar macrophages triggered by exposure to particulate matter (PM). Therefore, we treated mice with metformin in the drinking water for 24 hours before we instilled PM intratracheally. We then flow-sorted alveolar macrophages from whole lung homogenates 24 hours later for transcriptomic analysis (RNA-Seq).
