The Bohr effect describes hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen dependent on solution pH. Within pH range 6.0-8.5, hemoglobin's oxygen affinity decreases with decreasing pH. This results in increased oxygen delivery to metabolically active, acidic tissues and improved oxygen uptake in basic regions including lung tissue. Myo-Inositol tripyrophosphate (ITPP) translocates the erythrocyte membrane and allosterically modifies hemoglobin (Hb). We tested the hypothesis that ITPP does not abrogate the Bohr effect.
Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of increasing concentrations of ITPP on P50 with varying pH. We incubated 10 mL red blood cells at 37 °C for 1 h with ITPP concentrations from 0 to 240 mM. The Clark oxygen electrode (Hemox-Analyzer; TCS Scientific, New Hope, PA) determined oxygen affinity of each sample, in triplicate, using buffers pH 6.8, 7.4, and 7.6. A mixed linear regression model with fixed effects for ITPP concentration and pH was used.
Increasing ITPP concentration and decreasing pH increased P50 (p < 0.0001 for ITPP concentration, p < 0.0001 for pH). ITPP modulated increased P50 in normal pH (7.4) and acidic condition pH (6.8); with no effect at alkaline pH (7.6).
The Bohr effect is conserved, with ITPP augmenting the decreased oxygen affinity seen with tissue acidosis, while not affecting oxygen affinity in conditions similar to a pulmonary microenvironment.
波尔效应描述了血红蛋白对氧的亲和力取决于溶液的 pH 值。在 pH 值 6.0-8.5 的范围内,血红蛋白的氧亲和力随 pH 值的降低而降低。这导致代谢活跃的酸性组织的氧输送增加,以及包括肺组织在内的碱性区域的氧摄取增加。肌醇三磷酸(ITPP)可转运红细胞膜并变构修饰血红蛋白(Hb)。我们检验了这样一个假设,即 ITPP 不会消除波尔效应。
进行了实验以确定增加 ITPP 浓度对 P50 的影响,同时 pH 值也在变化。我们将 10 mL 红细胞在 37°C 下孵育 1 小时,ITPP 浓度从 0 到 240 mM。Clark 氧电极(Hemox-Analyzer;TCS Scientific,New Hope,PA)使用 pH 值为 6.8、7.4 和 7.6 的缓冲液,分别重复三次测定每个样本的氧亲和力。采用固定效应为 ITPP 浓度和 pH 值的混合线性回归模型。
增加 ITPP 浓度和降低 pH 值都会增加 P50(ITPP 浓度的 p 值<0.0001,pH 值的 p 值<0.0001)。ITPP 调节了正常 pH 值(7.4)和酸性条件 pH 值(6.8)下的 P50 增加;而在碱性 pH 值(7.6)下没有影响。
波尔效应是保守的,ITPP 增强了组织酸中毒时氧亲和力的降低,而在类似于肺微环境的条件下,不会影响氧亲和力。
