Bioeng. Biotechnol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Red blood cell substitutes offer a solution to the problem of blood shortage and side effects of blood transfusion. Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) are one of the promising substitutes for red blood cells. Vasoactivity, which refers to the side effect of HBOCs that causes vasoconstriction and subsequent hypertension, limits the clinical application of HBOCs. In this study, an <jats:italic>ex vivo<\/jats:italic> method for the evaluation of vasoactivity induced by HBOCs was established based on isolated rat mesenteric artery vessels and the DMT120CP system. The DMT120CP system, equipped with a flowmeter, permits the control of intravascular pressure, pressure gradient, and flow conditions with high accuracy, simulating the physiological conditions for isolated vessels. The concentration of noradrenaline was optimized to 1 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>\u22126<\/jats:sup>\u223c3 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>\u22126<\/jats:sup>\u00a0M. PEGylated bovine hemoglobin (PEG-bHb) was synthesized and perfused into the vessel for vasoactivity evaluation, with bHb as the positive control and PSS buffer solution as the negative control. PEG-bHb showed a hydration diameter of 15.5 \u00b1 1.4\u00a0nm and a P<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> value of 6.99\u00a0mmHg. PEG-bHb exhibited a colloid osmotic pressure of 64.1\u00a0mmHg and a viscosity of 1.73 cp at 40\u00a0mg\/mL. The established vasoactivity evaluation method showed significant differences in samples (bHb or PEG-bHb) with different vasoactivity properties. The vasoconstriction percentage induced by PEG-bHb samples synthesized in different batches showed coefficients of variation less than 5%, indicating good applicability and repeatability. The established evaluation method can be applied to study the vasoactivity induction and elimination strategies, promoting the clinical application of HBOCs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2024.1376806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]],"date-time":"2024-06-28T04:39:22Z","timestamp":1719549562000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An ex vivo method to evaluate vasoactivity induced by hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers in resistance vessels"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Hang","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daoyuan","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoxing","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weidan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuzhi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lian","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3730","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.analchem.5b04565","article-title":"Quantitative detection of PEGylated biomacromolecules in biological fluids by NMR","volume":"88","author":"Alvares","year":"2016","journal-title":"Anal.
