We tested the hypothesis that chemical modifications used to produce stable, oxygen-carrying, Hb-based blood substitutes can induce cytotoxicity in endothelial cells in culture because of altered redox activity. We examined the interaction of hydrogen peroxide with nonmodified hemoglobin (HbA0) and two chemically modified hemoglobins, alpha -cross-linked hemoglobin (alpha -DBBF) and its polymerized form (poly-alpha -DBBF). Hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death (as assessed by lactate dehydrogenase release) in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) was completely inhibited by all three hemoglobin preparations, consistent with their known pseudoperoxidase activity [hemoglobin consumes peroxide as it cycles between ferric (Fe3+) and ferryl (Fe4+) hemes]. However, reaction of the modified hemoglobins, but not HbA0, with hydrogen peroxide induced apoptotic cell death (as assessed by morphological changes and DNA fragmentation) that correlated with the formation of a long-lived ferrylhemoglobin. A preparation of ferryl-alpha -DBBF free of residual peroxide rapidly induced morphological changes and DNA fragmentation in BAEC, indicative of apoptotic cell death. Redox cycling of chemically modified hemoglobins by peroxide yielded a persistent ferryl iron that was cytotoxic to endothelial cells.
