Ferryl heme and associated protein radicals with high redox potentials (~1.0 V) can induce a wide variety of oxidative reactions that affect the protein and nearby molecules [2]. PubMed:24486321
Extracellular hemoglobin and heme are pro-oxidative, proinflammatory, and cytotoxic [10–12], and can contribute to the pathology of hemolytic diseases. PubMed:26875449
This result is in accord with recent work, which showed that Hp binding to Hb prevents oxidative damage to the globin. PubMed:24486321
Extracellular hemoglobin and heme are pro-oxidative, proinflammatory, and cytotoxic [10–12], and can contribute to the pathology of hemolytic diseases. PubMed:26875449
The second biochemical process relates to the ability of Hb to facilitate oxidative reactions outside of the reducing environment of the RBC, leading to the accumulation of ferric metHb(Fe3+) in tissue.24 PubMed:29610666
This is a principal requirement for hemoglobin and hemin to induce adverse reactivity in tissues, including nitric oxide and oxidative reactions, release of free hemin, and molecular-signaling effects of hemin (reviewed by Schaer DJ et al.) [13] and Hill A et al. [14]. PubMed:29929138
The heme-binding protein, hemopexin, which likely prevents heme:lipid interactions and blocks the oxidative scission of heme,26 significantly inhibited the oxidative reactions. PubMed:20378845
Once bound to hemin, the Hpx-hemin complex prevents oxidative reactions and facilitates clearance of the complex through macrophage CD91, also referred to as lowdensity lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1. PubMed:30281034
Probably the most important Hp-mediated abrogation of Hb toxicity is stabilization of heme within the central cavity of the Hb subunits, which almost completely prevents its dissociation and subsequent free heme-mediated oxidative reactions and inflammatory responses. PubMed:24486321
