We investigated the serum haptoglobin levels in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) based on the hypothesis that haptoglobin levels would reflect subclinical hemolysis due to microangiopathy in pulmonary arterioles.This cross-sectional study included 3 groups of patients attending Hokkaido University Hospital: PAH, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), and conne...
Serum haptoglobin has been advocated as an indicator of intravascular hemolysis. We have evaluated a nephelometric determination of serum haptoglobin. The assay is sensitive and exhibits within-run precision in the range of 2.5-7.4% coefficient of variation (CV) and between-run precision of 7.0% (CV). In addition, when haptoglobin values determined with the nephelometric assay were compared wit...
The binding of liganded hemoglobin to haptoglobin, a plasma cr2-glycoprotein, is an irreversible and stoichiometric reaction that occurs physiologically at the micromolar concentration level. The study of the reaction between deoxyhemoglobin which does not bind haptoglobin and a haptoglobin solution saturated with carbon monoxide indicates that hemoglobin tetramer is incapable of binding haptog...
Intravascular hemolysis is associated with several pathologic conditions that include hemoglobinopathies, trauma, malaria, and bacterial infections. Among plasma-protective proteins against oxidative damage caused by red blood cell rupture, haptoglobin and hemopexin are thought to play a crucial role. Haptoglobin and hemopexin, by binding with high-affinity hemoglobin and heme, respectively, ex...
BACKGROUND Haptoglobin genotypes, and interleukin-6 and -8 participate in the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia. The expression of cytokines is regulated by genetic mechanisms however the effect of haptoglobin polymorphisms on these cytokines is not fully understood. This study aimed to compare the frequency of haptoglobin genotypes and the interleukin-6 and -8 concentrations in sickle cell...
RATIONALE Early graft inflammation enhances both acute and chronic rejection of heart transplants, but it is unclear how this inflammation is initiated. OBJECTIVE To identify specific inflammatory modulators and determine their underlying molecular mechanisms after cardiac transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS We used a murine heterotopic cardiac transplant model to identify inflammatory mod...
A cloned line of mouse hepatoma cells (Hepa-1) responded to treatment with dexamethasone by a 30-80-fold increase in synthesis and secretion of functional haptoglobin. Under the same conditions, the production of albumin was only slightly elevated whereas that of alpha 1-fetoprotein was reduced by 50%. The hormone concentration for half-maximal stimulation of haptoglobin synthesis was between 1...
The present study aimed at investigating the oxidative stress in patients with Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by estimating Haptoglobin. Blood samples were obtained from 46 GDM pregnant women and 32 controls that were attending the out patient department of M.Y.Hospital, Indore. The lipoprotein profiles, HbA1c and Haptoglobin were measured in all the samples. Significant increase in Haptog...
Haptoglobin levels are measured in systematic lupus erythematosus patients as part of the workup for anemia, with low levels indicating hemolysis. Haptoglobin is an acute phase protein. We present 2 lupus patients who were found to have low haptoglobin levels in the absence of other evidence of hemolysis.
