ABSTRACT:

2

development of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs). To avoid the oxidative

3

toxicity, we designed and synthesized polydopamine coated hemoglobin (Hb-PDA)

4

nanoparticles via simple one-step assemblage without any toxic reagent. Hb-PDA

5

nanoparticles showed oxidative protection of Hb by inhibiting the generation of

6

methemoglobin (MetHb) and ferryl (Fe IV) Hb, as well as excellent antioxidant

7

properties by scavenging free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).

8

Interestingly, the scavenging rate of Hb-PDA nanoparticles for ABTS+ radical is at

9

most 89% while for DPPH radical it reaches 49%. In addition, Hb-PDA efficiently

10

reduced the intracellular H2O2-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.

11

Moreover, Hb-PDA nanoparticles exhibited high oxygen affinity, low effect on blood

12

constituents and low cytotoxicity. The results indicate that polydopamine coated

13

hemoglobin might be a promising approach for constructing novel oxygen carriers

14

with the capacity to reduce oxidative side reaction.

 INTRODUCTION

2

Blood transfusion, clinically significant for saving lives and maintaining the

3

organisms’ normal physiologic functions, is widely applied in surgical operations,

4

nature disasters and battlefield wounds. However, the risks of virus transmission,

5

short shelf life and severe shortage seriously affect the availability of blood-based

6

products. Hemoglobin (Hb) possesses the ability to transport and transfer oxygen as

7

blood substitutes to re-establish oxygen homeostasis in tissues. Nevertheless,

8

unmodified hemoglobin is not ideal oxygen carriers since they have two main

9

problems: one is the dissociation into dimers resulting in a short circulation time and

10

renal toxicity; the other is connected with oxidative stress injury.1 Therefore, various

11

approaches have been adopted to explore the possibilities for improvement on

12

HBOCs, such as crosslinking,2,3 surface modification4 and encapsulation.5

13

Unfortunately, serious adverse effects still occurred in phase II and phase III clinical

14

trials.6, 7 For example, the lipid peroxidation related to the oxidative toxicity could be

15

hindering the application of liposome-encapsulated Hb (LEH) as oxygen carriers.

16

Meanwhile, either the chemically modified HBOCs or the encapsulated HBOCs

17

require the complex procedure to prepare such as emulsification and cross bonding

18

using inorganic reagents like glutaraldehyde,imposing restrictions on applying the

19

HBOCs. Moreover, oxidative side reactions of HBOCs caused by oxidative state

20

formation of Hb are still an important issue which needs to be addressed.8, 9 Hb in its

21

reduced state could be auto-oxidized to generate MetHb which is incapable of

22

transporting oxygen. The increasing MetHb levels (>10%) significantly decreases the

23

oxygen supply to tissues transported by the total Hb.10 In addition, the ROS such as

24

hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would be generated by Hb during autoxidation.11

25

Consequently, the ferryl oxidation state through the reaction of Hb with H2O2

26

promotes oxidative side reactions because of the heme degradation products or iron

27

release.12 Meanwhile when the ischemic tissue is reperfused in hemorrhagic shock

28

and other disease states, the over-generation of superoxide (O2-) and H2O2 promotes

29

oxidative toxicity of Hb and even oxidative damages. Such oxidative side reactions 3

might be associated with the lack of protection by redox cycling (e.g. catalase,

2

glutathione) in HBOCs.13 Chang et al. reported a strategy has been taken to minimize

3

the above-mentioned side reactions based on cross-linking Hb with superoxide

4

dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) extracted from RBCs.14 A specific strategy we

5

need is necessary not only to reduce the autoxidation of Hb, but also to attenuate the

6

oxidative damage. Hb copolymerized with rubrerythrin or binded with haptoglobin

7

(Hp) have been recognized as the prevention of Hb auto-oxidation.15,

8

bovine Hb crosslinks intra-molecularly with ATP and inter-molecularly with

9

adenosine, and conjugates with glutathione (GSH) as the oxygen carrier,

10

HemoTech.17 A new approach of incorporating a Pt nanoparticle (PtNP) embedded

11

into the exterior HSA units has showed superoxide dismutase and catalase activities

12

as the improvement of a Hb-HSA3 cluster.18, 19 The preparing procedure of the above

13

approaches may be relatively complicated because of chemical cross-linking,

14

meanwhile adding some inorganic reagents, which may be have influence on Hb

15

activities. It is therefore essential to develop simple methods to prepare HBOCs to

16

reduce the autoxidation of Hb and attenuate the oxidative damage.

16

Purified

17

Polydopamine (PDA) as a novel coating material could be strongly attached to

18

virtually all types of the substrate surfaces in an efficient and simple process.20, 21

19

Recently, Ben Wang et al. reported a catecholic chemistry-based strategy to shelter

20

antigenic epitopes on Red Blood Cells (RBCs) using PDA against agglutination.22

21

Furthermore, PDA has been showing great promise for biomedical applications with

22

excellent hemocompatibility and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, PDA-modified

23

surfaces could effectively inhibit platelet adhesion and fibrinogen conformation

24

transition.23 In addition, PDA would not affect the viability or proliferation of many

25

kinds of mammalian cells and showed no tissue damage, inflammatory action, or

26

fibrosis.24-26 Moreover, PDA could be acted as an antioxidant agent, which could

27

scavenge free radicals caused by the distinct hydroquinone moiety.27

28

In this work, we focused on the desirable properties of the PDA coating to

29

encapsulate Hb via a simple one-step process. The morphology and chemical

30

properties were characterized. The oxygen-carrying capacity, effect on blood 4

Fabrication and Characterization. To successfully synthesize the Hb-PDA, Hb was

11

incubated with dopamine hydrochloride in Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 8.5) at 4 oC

12

under slight stirring. Color of the solution quickly changed from red to brown and

13

eventually became black on account of the polymerization of dopamine (Figure 1A). 12

1

Unlike glutaraldehyde cross-linked Hb by reactions of amino groups33 and

2

PEG-conjugated Hb by reactions of sulfhydryl groups34 as oxygen carriers, PDA has

3

scarcely any chemical reaction with the groups of Hb amino acids and closely bonds

4

on Hb surfaces. For the attachment mechanism, PDA contains catechol function

5

groups can form covalent or strong noncovalent interactions, such as p-electron,

6

hydrogen-bonding, and other interactions.20 Compared with particle-encapsulated

7

hemoglobin using liposomes35 and polymeric particles,5 the method to prepare

8

Hb-PDA is via one-step assemblage without any toxic reagent and easy to enlarge the

9

synthetic system, avoiding liposome peroxidation and the complex preparation. The

10

size of Hb-PDA nanoparticles were approximately 6-8 nm (Figure 1B) and showed no

11

obvious changes for at least 7 days (Figure 1C). The transmission electron

12

microscopy (TEM) image also revealed that the PDA deposited on the Hb surface and

13

developed uniform nanoparticles (Figure 1D).

The integrity of Hb structure in HBOCs is fundamental for transporting oxygen.

3

FTIR was used to identify the influence of the preparation process on Hb structure

4

(Figure 2A). The C-O stretching band (amide I) was located at 1643 cm-1 and the N-H

5

bending band (amide II) at 1528 cm-1 in the spectrum of the Hb and Hb-PDA, which

6

demonstrated a negligible change in the chemical structure of the Hb after PDA

7

coated.36 The peaks at 809 cm-1and 875 cm-1 corresponding to the three and five

8

substituted benzene stretching vibrations showed the modification of PDA layer. In

9

addition, the Hb with a PDA coating was also monitored through scanning 220 nm to

10

650 nm using a UV-vis spectrometer. The absorption peaks at 414 nm is regarded to

11

as the Soret band and two further peaks between 500 and 600 nm as the Q-band,

12

varying with the ligand state of the heme and oxygenation of Hb. It can be seen from

13

Figure 2B, three maxima bands at 414, 540 and 574 nm were the characteristic peaks

14

of Hb-PDA in accordance with OxyHb, which reveals integrity of oxyHb structure.

The absorbance spectra of oxidation products from dopamine exhibiting a

16

18

the additional characteristic peak at 279 nm, which was also proved that the

19

generation of PDA coating. To confirm whether the encapsulation process has

20

influence on the bioactivity of Hb, we detected the secondary structures via CD. As

21

shown in Figure 2C, comparing the CD spectrum of Hb-PDA with that of Hb, the

22

characteristic absorption peaks of the α-helix at 194, 210 and 224 nm were almost

23

identical and the content of α-helix about Hb and Hb-PDA was 94.8% and 93.1%,

24

respectively, which illustrated that the preparation process rarely influence on the

25

secondary structure of Hb.38

26

As an oxygen carrier, the primary biological function of Hb-PDA is maintaining

27

the capacity to bind and release oxygen. Figure 2D shows ODCs of Hb-PDA and Hb.

Oxidative Protection of Hb. The iron in Hb molecule is easy to bind and release

oxygen and converts into MetHb, which impairs the oxygen-carrying capacity and

13

leads to inflammation (Figure 3A). Redox character about PDA is related to the

14

quinone groups because of release of electrons during the spontaneous oxidation

progress.20 To confirm whether PDA could protect Hb against the formation of

16

MetHb, the evaluation of the oxidation protection activity was conducted via FRAP

while Hb-PDA could convert Fe (III) into Fe (II). Moreover, the reducing ability was

2

improved with the increasing concentration of PDA (Figure 3B). The functionality of

3

the oxidation protection activity of Hb was monitored via UV-vis spectrum (Figure

4

3C). The oxygenation of oxyHb exhibited typical absorption peaks at 414, 540 and

5

574 nm, whereas MetHb showed the characteristic peaks at 406 and 500 nm caused

6

by oxidation of iron.40 There was a red shift in the absorption spectra of MetHb

solution after incubation with the Hb-PDA and the absorbance peaks at 500 nm of

8

MetHb could be not scarcely observed in MetHb and Hb-PDA mixture solution,

which exhibit slightly protective activity on Fe(II) because of PDA. Therefore, the

PDA coating is beneficial for oxidative protection of Hb to maintain its

Antioxidant properties of Hb-PDA. Free radicals keep a balance between

2

production and elimination in the body. During severe injury and shock, the increase

3

of intracellular H2O2 accounts for the excessive generation of free radicals. Thus,

4

HBOCs with free radicals scavenging ability is significant in practical application.

5

PDA was recognized as an efficient antioxidant in the biological system for the

6

distinct hydroquinone moiety. To verify whether PDA could maintain the antioxidant

7

properties in Hb-PDA nanoparticles, in vitro antioxidant activities of Hb-PDA were

8

studied in detail.

9

The potential antioxidant activity of synthesized Hb-PDA nanoparticles was

10

extensively evaluated by DPPH and ABTS+ radical-scavenging assay. In Figure 4A,

11

after incubation with Hb-PDA nanoparticles, the absorbance at 734 nm of the all

12

samples decreased because of the scavenging ABTS+ radical. According to Figure 4B,

13

the ABTS+ radical scavenging effect of Hb-PDA nanoparticles enhanced at most up to

14

89% in dose-dependent manner, which involved electron-transfer process.41 As shown

15

in Figure 4C, the absorbance of DPPH at 520 nm was decreased, which represented

16

the ability of Hb-PDA with DPPH radical scavenging activity. In Figure 4D, the

17

scavenging ability of Hb-PDA nanoparticles on DPPH in dose-dependent manner and

18

reached 49% at the concentration of 0.5 mM due to the hydrogen-donating ability.

19

Taken together, Hb-PDA nanoparticles have an excellent antioxidant capacity through

20

scavenging a variety of free radicals. In addition, a higher concentration of Hb-PDA

21

nanoparticles shows a stronger antioxidant activity.

that Hb-PDA nanoparticles have scarcely influence on the ADP induced platelets

2

aggregation process. Furthermore, the radios of the platelets aggregation were no

3

difference in groups with different concentrations. The above-mentioned results might

4

be related to the rich in quinone of Hb-PDA or poor in amino groups.23

5

The evaluation of Hb-PDA impact on RBCs was also performed by a hemolysis

6

assay. Hemolytic activity of Hb-PDA is critical to the intravenous injection. If the

7

extent of hemolysis via the quantitation of free hemoglobin in the mixed solution is

8

higher than 5%, the sample would induce hemolytic.28 As shown in Figure 6B,

9

Hb-PDA nanoparticles with different concentrations showed a minor impact on the

10

hemolysis radio of RBCs.

11

Nanoparticles-induced clotting is still a main barrier in the clinical application. Fan

12

et al. showed that PDA, as a surface modifier, can inhibit alteration of plasma proteins

13

which triggers the coagulation of blood.30 The influences of control substrates on the

14

duration time of coagulation pathways were investigated. According to Figure 6C, the

15

results indicated no significant differences between the PT, TT and Fbg values of

16

control (0.9% NaCl solution) group and those of Hb-PDA group. Thus, the

17

coagulation assay results suggest that Hb-PDA nanoparticles had lower effect on

18

coagulation process relative to control.

19

Cytotoxicity of Hb-PDA. In vitro cytotoxicity of the Hb-PDA on HUVEC was

20

assessed by a CCK-8 assay. Figure 6D demonstrates that different concentrations of

21

Hb-PDA had no significant cytotoxic activity on the HUVEC after co-incubation for

22

24 h. Therefore, Hb-PDA nanoparticles would be a potential oxygen carrier because

23

of its excellent biocompatibility of the nanoparticles.

 CONCLUSION

2

In summary, we have presented a novel HBOC employing the bio-inspired PDA to

3

encapsulate Hb with oxygen-carrying and antioxidant activities. Due to the simple

4

preparation method, Hb-PDA could maintain the integrity of Hb chemical structure

5

without introducing any toxic reagent. And the oxidative action of Hb to MetHb and

6

ferryl was decreased during the PDA coating. Excitingly, Hb-PDA exhibited excellent

7

antioxidant activity. The DPPH radical scavenging effect of Hb-PDA was almost 1.44

8

times as that of trolox and the ABTS+ radical scavenging effect reached 2 times. In

9

addition, Hb-PDA nanoparticles show the suppressive effects on intracellular ROS

10

generation. Moreover, Hb-PDA nanoparticles have low influen on blood constituents

11

and cell viability. These excellent characteristics suggested that polydopamine coated

12

hemoglobin represented a promising progress for novel oxygen carriers.
