Numerous pathologies may involve toxic side effects of free heme
and heme-derived iron. Deficiency of the heme-catabolizing enzyme, heme
oxygenase-1 (HO-1), in both a human patient and transgenic knockout mice leads to an abundance of circulating heme and damage to
vascular endothelium. Although heme can be directly cytotoxic, the
present investigations examine the possibility that hemoglobin-derived heme and iron might be indirectly toxic through the generation of
oxidized forms of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). In support, hemoglobin
in plasma, when oxidized to methemoglobin by oxidants such as
leukocyte-derived reactive oxygen, causes oxidative modification of
LDL. Heme, released from methemoglobin, catalyzes the oxidation of LDL,
which in turn induces endothelial cytolysis primarily caused by lipid
hydroperoxides. Exposure of endothelium to sublethal concentrations of
this oxidized LDL leads to induction of both HO-1 and ferritin.
Similar endothelial cytotoxicity was caused by LDL isolated from plasma
of an HO-1-deficient child. Spectral analysis of the child's plasma
revealed a substantial oxidation of plasma hemoglobin to methemoglobin.
Iron accumulated in the HO-1-deficient child's LDL and several
independent assays revealed oxidative modification of the LDL. We
conclude that hemoglobin, when oxidized in plasma, can be indirectly
cytotoxic through the generation of oxidized LDL by released heme and
that, in response, the intracellular defense HO-1 and ferritin is
induced. These results may be relevant to a variety of
disorders such as renal failure associated with intravascular
hemolysis, hemorrhagic injury to the central nervous system, and,
perhaps, atherogenesis in which hemoglobin-derived heme may promote
the formation of fatty acid hydroperoxides.
