According to the traditional concept of Hb clearance, free Hb is bound to the plasma protein haptoglobin (Hp), and the Hb-Hp complexes are cleared by liver and spleen macrophages via the Hb scavenger receptor CD163. Using a novel whole blood assay, we demonstrate that clearance of Hb-Hp is also mediated by CD14high\/CD64high peripheral blood monocytes, which express CD163. Hb-Hp uptake by these cells is Ca2+-dependent and is abrogated by the addition of CD163-blocking antibodies. Accordingly, LPS treatment reduces monocyte surface CD163 and impairs Hb-Hp uptake. Monocytes likely mediate Hp-Hb uptake in vivo, as a high expression of the heme breakdown enzyme heme oxygenase-1 was observed in CD163+ monocytes but not in other leukocyte populations obtained from healthy blood donors. We propose that CD163-mediated Hb-Hp uptake by peripheral blood monocytes constitutes an Hb-Hp clearance pathway, which acts at the site of intravascular hemolysis to reduce Hb-Hp circulation time and toxicity. Disruption of monocyte Hb-Hp clearance may increase Hb-Hp toxicity and contribute to the pathogenesis of systemic inflammatory diseases associated with reduced monocyte CD163 expression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1189\/jlb.0706453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,26]],"date-time":"2007-04-26T05:33:57Z","timestamp":1177565637000},"page":"106-110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["CD163-expressing monocytes constitute an endotoxin-sensitive Hb clearance compartment within the vascular system"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"Christian A","family":"Schaer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University Hospital , Zurich , Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florence","family":"Vallelian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University Hospital , Zurich , Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Imhof","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University Hospital , Zurich , Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriele","family":"Schoedon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University Hospital , Zurich , Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominik J","family":"Schaer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University Hospital , Zurich , Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023033006513494100_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.1080\/713609210","article-title":"Iron metabolism in the reticuloendothelial system","volume":"38","author":"Knutson","year":"2003","journal-title":"Crit.
