A phospholipid vesicle encapsulating hemoglobin (Hb vesicle, HbV) has been developed to provide O(2)-carrying capacity to plasma expanders. Its ability to restore systemic and microcirculatory conditions after hemorrhagic shock was evaluated in the dorsal skinfold window preparation of conscious hamsters. The HbV was suspended in 8% human serum albumin (HSA) at Hb concentrations of 3.8 g/dl [HbV(3.8)/HSA] and 7.6 g/dl [HbV(7.6)/HSA]. Shock was induced by 50% blood withdrawal, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 40 mmHg was maintained for 1 h by the additional blood withdrawal. The hamsters receiving either HbV(3.8)/HSA or HbV(7.6)/HSA suspensions restored MAP to 93 +/- 14 and 93 +/- 10 mmHg, respectively, similar with those receiving the shed blood (98 +/- 13 mmHg), which were significantly higher by comparison with resuscitation with HSA alone (62 +/- 12 mmHg). Only the HSA group tended to maintain hyperventilation and negative base excess after the resuscitation. Subcutaneous microvascular blood flow reduced to approximately 10-20% of baseline during shock, and reinfusion of shed blood restored blood flow to approximately 60-80% of baseline, an effect primarily due to the sustained constriction of small arteries A(0) (diameter 143 +/- 29 microm). The HbV(3.8)/HSA group had significantly better microvascular blood flow recovery and nonsignificantly better tissue oxygenation than of the HSA group. The recovery of base excess and improved tissue oxygenation appears to be primarily due to the increased oxygen-carrying capacity of HbV fluid resuscitation.

A77 1726 induces differentiation of human myeloid leukemia K562 cells by depletion of intracellular CTP pools.

Department of Pharmacology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA.
A77 1726 (LEF) is the active metabolite of leflunomide, a recently approved immunosuppressive agent. We examined the ability of LEF to induce differentiation of a human erythroleukemia (K562) cell line and show that LEF induces a dose- and time-dependent differentiation of these cells as characterized by growth inhibition, hemoglobin production, and erythroid membrane protein glycophorin A expression. This effect was dependent on depletion of the intracellular pyrimidine ribonucleotides (UTP and CTP), and preceded by a specific S-phase arrest of the cell cycle. Supplementation of the cultures with exogenous uridine restored intracellular UTP and CTP to normal levels and prevented the LEF-induced cell cycle block and differentiation of K562 cells. Interestingly, addition of cytidine alone blocked the LEF-induced differentiation of K562 cells but only restored the CTP pool. By contrast, neither deoxycytidine nor thymidine prevented the effects of LEF on these cells. Similarly, pyrimidine starvation of a cell line lacking the de novo pyrimidine pathway (G9c) resulted in an S-phase arrest that was reversed by the addition of cytidine. Thus these studies demonstrate an important role for CTP in regulating cell cycle progression and show that LEF is an effective inducer of tumor cell differentiation through depletion of this ribonucleotide.

Correct human beta-globin mRNA has been restored in erythroid cells from transgenic mice carrying the human gene with beta-globin IVS2-654 splice mutation and from thalassemia patients with the IVS2-654/beta(E) genotype. This was accomplished in a dose- and time-dependent manner by free uptake of morpholino oligonucleotide antisense to the aberrant splice site at position 652 of intron 2 in beta-globin pre-mRNA. Under optimal conditions of oligonucleotide uptake, the maximal levels of correct human beta-globin mRNA and hemoglobin A in patients' erythroid cells were 77 and 54%, respectively. These levels of correction were equal to, if not higher than, those obtained by syringe loading of the oligonucleotide into the cells. Comparison of splicing correction results with the cellular uptake of fluorescein-labeled oligonucleotide indicated that the levels of mRNA and hemoglobin A correlate well with the nuclear localization of the oligonucleotide and the degree of erythroid differentiation of cultured cells. Similar but not as pronounced results were obtained after the oligonucleotide treatment of bone marrow cells from IVS2-654 mouse. The effectiveness of the free antisense morpholino oligonucleotide in restoration of correct splicing of IVS2-654 pre-mRNA in cultured erythropoietic cells from transgenic mice and thalassemic patients suggests the applicability of this or similar compounds in in vivo experiments and possibly in treatment of thalassemia.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of endogenous carbon monoxide(CO) in oxidant-mediated organ injury following limb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. METHODS: Sixty-four SD rats were divided into 4 groups: Sham group, Sham + zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP, an inhibitor of heme oxygenase activity), 2-hour ischemia followed by 4-hour reperfusion (I/R) group and I/R + ZnPP group. Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level in the artery blood, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the lung, heart, liver and kidney were detected. The 24-hour survival rate of rats was studied. RESULTS: Compared with the sham group, the COHb level and MDA content significantly increased, while the SOD activity and the survival rate significantly decreased in I/R group (P < 0.05). Compared with the I/R group, MDA content significantly increased, while the SOD activity, the 24-hour survival rate and COHb level significantly decreased in I/R + ZnPP group (P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION: Limb I/R could lead to the oxidant-mediated multiple organ injury accompanied by the increase of CO level which play an important role in the defense against I/R-induced remote multiple organ injury in rats.

Hemin is released from hemoglobin after CNS hemorrhage and may contribute to its cytotoxic effect. In a prior study, we demonstrated that heme oxygenase-1 induction protected murine cortical astrocytes from hemoglobin toxicity. Since heme metabolism releases iron, this observation suggested that these cells are able to effectively sequester and detoxify free iron. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that astrocytes increased ferritin synthesis after exposure to heme-bound iron, and that this induction protected cells from subsequent exposure to toxic concentrations of hemin. Incubation with low micromolar concentrations of hemin, hemoglobin, or ferrous sulfate increased ferritin expression, as detected on immunoblots stained with a polyclonal antibody that was raised against horse spleen ferritin. Time course studies demonstrated an increase in ferritin levels within 2 h. Weak and scattered cellular staining was detected by immunohistochemistry in control, untreated cultures, while diffuse immunoreactivity was observed in cultures exposed to heme-bound iron. An enhanced ferritin band was detected on immunoblots from cultures that were treated with purified apoferritin, consistent with astrocytic ferritin uptake. Immunoreactivity after apoferritin treatment was not altered by concomitant treatment with cycloheximide. Pretreatment with apoferritin protected astrocytes from hemin toxicity in a concentration-dependent fashion between 1 and 4 mg/ml. At the highest concentration, cell death due to a 6-h exposure to 30 microM hemin was decreased by about 85%. A protective effect was also produced by induction of endogenous ferritin with nontoxic concentrations of ferrous sulfate, hemoglobin, or hemin. These results suggest that cortical astrocytes respond to exogenous heme-bound or free iron by rapidly increasing ferritin synthesis. The combined action of heme oxygenase-1 and ferritin may be a primary astrocytic defense against heme-mediated injury. 2002 IBRO

There are a number of approaches to hair loss problems.
Hair Million is an herbal alternative. It is a formula made of traditional, edible herbs
and has been anecdotally demonstrated the efficacy to ward off hair loss
problems.
There is no singular medical or alternative cure for hair loss since the
biology of hair growth is a highly complicated phenomenon.
It is unknown how Hair Million stops hair loss,
and promotes hair restoration.
The advantages of Hair Million over other approaches are, firstly, Hair Million is comparatively inexpensive,
and secondly, it is made only of traditionally used safe and healthy herbs that promote hair growth
according to Chinese pharmacopoeia. In addition, Hair Million is cardiotonic, meaning that Hair Million consists of herbs
that strengthens your heart, according to Chinese medicine. There is an interesting research paper which correlates baldness
to heart diseases: people with alopecia or hair loss
problems are significantly more likely to develop heart attacks.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
