Abstract

The method involves utilizing a nontoxic extracellular hemoglobin of Nereis diversicolor and Nereis virens for human blood substitute.

Description

Extracellular hemoglobin blood substitute derived from ragworm species and the use thereof.
The current invention relates to an extracellular hemoglobin blood substitute, in particular an extracellular 5 hemoglobin derived from Nereis virens and/or Nereis diversicolor and the use thereof, in particular the use thereof in humans.
During medical practices, such as surgery or a treatment of a patient suffering from trauma, or in case of 10 blood-related diseases such as haemophilia, general and/or sickle-cell anaemia it may be necessary to supply a patient with blood by means of a blood transfusion. During such a blood transfusion, blood from a blood donor is injected intravenously in the circulatory system of a patient.
15 Several medical problems can arise as a result of a blood transfusion with contaminated or incompatible blood. Recipients can contract infectious agents, such as HIV, HTLV, hepatitis (A,B,C) viruses, Treponema, pallidum; the causative agent of syphilis, West Nile Virus, Plasmodium,· 20 the causative agent of malaria, cytomegalovirus or transmittable spongiform encephalopathy such as Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease caused by prions. Furthermore, when recipients are administered incompatible blood, an agglutination reaction may take place which could have serious medical 25 consequences.
During modern medical practices, blood from each donor is tested to prevent the occurrence of medical complications and infections to ensure the patients health as well as possible. Therefore, donor blood is tested for 30 its compatibility group and for the presence of most of the pathogens or disease causing agents described above.
However, several drawbacks are known from such tests. First, these tests are expensive. Second, tests may not provide 1035741 2 complete information about the presence of contaminants.
E.g. most tests are based on the presence of antibodies which are made by the human immunological system and directed against antigens of pathogens. When a test is 5 carried out on contaminated blood in which no antibodies are present yet, a test for such a pathogen may or will result in a false-negative result, meaning the test indicates that no infectious agents are present while in fact such an agent is present. In such cases, the consequence could be that 10 contaminated blood is transfused into the recipient, infecting this person with the respective pathogen. Third, care should be taken that test results are not switched between blood bags.
Nowadays another issue involving the supply of 15 blood by blood donations is becoming clear. The number of blood donors is diminishing which consequently leads to problems with blood supply. This problem is due to increased concern among donors to contract an infectious disease.
Several methods have been developed to some extent 20 with the aim to circumvent the problems as described above. Research in this field includes the development of artificial blood substitutes as synthetic chemicals (Clark and Gollan, 1966) or via the synthesis of biological products (Chang, 1957; Chang, 1964).
25 Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) have been used as synthetic chemicals. PFCs are chemicals capable of transporting oxygen, and able to dissolve a large quantity of gas, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. PFCs have the advantage that their oxygen-carrying capacity is in direct 30 correlation to the quantity of oxygen in the lungs. Also, PFCs can transport oxygen to tissues more rapidly as there are no membrane barriers to take. However, long-term retention of PFCs has not been studied in detail. Reports 3 are known of PFCs causing edemas as they accumulated in the tissues of the organism (Clark and Gollan, 1966; Sloviter and Kamimoto, 1967) . Also, problems connected to side effects, storage, high costs and the low efficiency of this 5 product are known (Mitsuno and Naito, 1979). Derivatives of PFC's, namely PFBO (perfluorooctylbromide) have been developed that have enhanced properties. But an increase in the quantity of oxygen in the blood has been reported to give rise to the formation of superoxide-type radical oxygen 10 (Reiss, 1991). Therefore, although progress in this field is substantial, considerable side-effects are still known and prevent such products from being used on a commercial scale.
Work has been carried out in the field of the synthesis of biological products as well. Blood substitutes 15 have been developed by modifying the structure of natural hemoglobin (Chang, 1957; Chang, 1997). To meet this end, modified-hemoglobin-type blood substitutes have been made from hemoglobins from genetically modified microorganisms, or of human or animal origin, such as the bovine hemoglobin 20 molecule. The immunology of the bovine hemoglobulin differs from human hemoglobin, but it transports oxygen to the tissues more easily. Nevertheless, the risks connected to xenotransfusions (interspecies transfusions) are considerable in light of (retro)viral infections or 25 spongiform-encephalopathy-type transmittals.
More recently, research has been conducted on stem cells (Giarratana et al, 2004), placental or umbilical cord blood as source of blood for transfusions.
However, these latter studies are not expected to 30 alleviate the limited supply of donor blood as a consequence of the low availability of umbilical cords and because of the high costs and ethical issues that are involved in stem cell research.
4
Some Annelids, such as Nereis virens and/or Nereis diversicolor are reported to have at least three types of globins (Weber and Vinogradov, 2001), of which the extracellular globin of Nereis virens and/or Nereis 5 diversicolor, which is dissolved in circulating body fluids, has excellent properties for it to be useful as blood substitute. It is therefore an object of the current invention to propose a solution to the above-addressed issues through the use, in particular in humans, of an 10 extracellular hemoglobin blood substitute from Nereis virens and/or Nereis diversicolor. The invention also concerns a blood substitute, in particular a human blood substitute, comprising an extracellular hemoglobin from the species Nereis virens and/or Nereis diversicolor.
15 In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the extracellular hemoglobin that can be used as blood substitute is from the ragworm species, Nereis virens. In another embodiment of the invention, the extracellular hemoglobin is from Nereis diversicolor.
20 Both species have several characteristics that allow them to be used as a source for extracellular hemoglobin. They can be cost-effectively reared and bred in huge numbers, there are no infectious agents known to be present in these ragworm species that could cause harmful 25 contaminations in humans and the extracellular hemoglobins can be isolated from the animals with relative ease and relative low investments (Rousselot et al, 2006). Further, the extracellular hemoglobin molecules are particularly suitable for use as a human blood substitute as there are no 30 incompatibility reactions known or expected to occur when using the extracellular hemoglobins, there are indications that the extracellular hemoglobins can function independently from any molecule or cofactors in releasing 5 oxygen. The extracellular hemoglobin is further characterized by the following properties: is can bind approximately 156 oxygen molecules, and it has a molecular size which is approximately 245 times lower than that of the 5 human hemoglobin molecules. The combination of these latter properties, especially the higher affinity to oxygen molecules, in other wording, higher capacity to bind such oxygen molecules, and the smaller molecular size of any of the ragworm extracellular hemoglobins, make such 10 extracellular hemoglobin particularly suitable as a blood substitute.
In a preferred embodiment, the extracellular hemoglobin possesses the following properties: it is nontoxic for the recipient, it is non-pathogenic, it is 15 transfusable into at least one, and preferably, all human blood types, it does not cause any undesired side effects in the recipient.
The term 'blood substitute' pertains to a product which has the capacity to replace the fvinetion exerted by 20 hemoglobin of red blood cells and which has the capacity to perform its functions in transporting blood gases. The term 'human blood substitute' refers to a blood substitute from Nereis virens and/or Nereis diversicolor that can be applied in humans as blood substitute as described above. The term 25 'extracellular hemoglobin' pertains to hemoglobin which is dissolved in bodily fluids, as opposed to being contained in red blood cells. The term 'toxic' pertains to biological or chemical compounds that could give rise to physiological changes or pathological disorders. The expression 'non-30 toxic' means that the blood substitute does not cause any pathological effects. The expression 'non-pathogenic' pertains to the absence of pathogenic agents. The expression 'transfusable into all blood types' refers to a universal 6 donor type hemoglobin which does not cause agglutination reactions. The expression 'does not cause any side effects' means that the extracellular hemoglobin does not cause any obvious.or non-obvious pathological effects in the 5 recipient. The term 'Ragworm' refers to both Nereis diversicolor (O.F. Müller, 1776), also known as Neanthus diversicolor (O.F. Müller, 1776) or Hediste diversicolor (O.F. Müller, 1776), and it refers to Nereis virens (M.
Sars, 1835) or Neanthus virens (M. Sars, 1835) or Alitta 10 virens (M. Sars, 1835) . The latter may also be known as King Ragworm. In Dutch, these species may be known as "Veelkleurige Zééduizendpoot" (N. diversicolor) en "Zager" (N. virens). However, the names of these species are sometimes interchangeably used, whereby "Zager" may also be 15 used to refer to N. diversicolor and whereby "Veelkleurige Zééduizendpoot" may be used to refer to N. virens.
