Abstract

Our previous results run counter to the hypothesis that S-nitrosohemoglobin (SNO-Hb) serves as an in vivo reservoir for NO from which NO release is allosterically linked to oxygen release. We show here that SNO-Hb undergoes reductive decomposition in erythrocytes, whereas it is stable in purified solutions and in erythrocyte lysates treated with an oxidant such as ferricyanide. Using an extensively validated methodology that eliminates background nitrite and stabilizes erythrocyte S-nitrosothiols, we find the levels of SNO-Hb in the basal human circulation, including red cell membrane fractions, were 46 +/- 17 nm in human arterial erythrocytes and 69 +/- 11 nm in venous erythrocytes, incompatible with the postulated reservoir function of SNO-Hb. Moreover, we performed experiments on human red blood cells in which we elevated the levels of SNO-Hb to 10,000 times the normal in vivo levels. The elevated levels of intra-erythrocytic SNO-Hb fell rapidly, independent of oxygen tension and hemoglobin saturation. Most of the NO released during this process was oxidized to nitrate. A fraction (25%) was exported as S-nitrosothiol, but this fraction was not increased at low oxygen tensions that favor the deoxy (T-state) conformation of Hb. Results of these studies show that, within the redox-active erythrocyte environment, the beta-globin cysteine 93 is maintained in a reduced state, necessary for normal oxygen affinity, and incapable of oxygen-linked NO storage and delivery.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
