“…Hp provides the first line of defense against extracellular Hb. 13 When bound to Hp, Hb remains sequestered within the intravascular compartment, thus attenuating Hb-mediated vasoactivity, oxidative toxicity, and tissue peroxidation. 14,15 Upon complex formation, Hp transforms the Hb ␣␤-dimer into a high-affinity ligand of the Hb scavenger receptor CD163, which then clears the Hb:Hp complex.…”

“…Therefore, the removal of liberated Hb represents a useful strategy for therapeutic intervention in both systemic hemolysis and diseases that are related to local hemolysis. So far, it has been established that Hp provides the first defense line against extracellular Hb by forming an Hb-Hp complex (5) and that CD163 plays a crucial role as a scavenger receptor for Hb-Hp complexes. However, the functional roles of other acute phase proteins in hemolysis are not known with certainty.…”

“…Therefore, the body has developed a system that efficiently scavenges Hb liberated from erythrocytes. Haptoglobin (Hp), 2 an acute phase plasma protein, provides the first line of defense against the effects of liberated Hb (5). When Hb binds to Hp, Hb remains sequestered within the intravascular compartment, thus attenuating Hb-mediated vasoactivity, oxidative toxicity, and tissue peroxidation (6,7).…”

“…However, we do not know whether the rapid changes in apolipoprotein A-IV precursor after FMDV infection can cause similar pathological phenomena. Haptoglobin possesses antioxidant activity towards hemoglobin-stimulated lipid peroxidation and halts hemoglobin's havoc as well [13]. According to the study of Boretti et al [6], haptoglobin induction might occur as part of the glucocorticoid-induced compensatory response to inflammation, in addition to induction of CD163 and CD91 [15].…”
