摘要:
The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods for increasing perfusion in hypoxic regions of tissues in subjects. Also provided are methods for treating diseases and/or disorders associated with hypoxia in subjects, methods for increasing sensitivity of tumors to radiation and/or chemotherapy treatments, methods for delaying tumor growth in subjects, and methods for inhibiting tumor blood vessel growth in subjects. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed methods involve administering to subjects in need thereof a first composition selected from the group consisting of a nitrosylated hemoglobin and an agent that induces nitrosylation of endogenous hemoglobin in the subject and a second composition comprising a hyperoxic gas. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed methods also include treating a tumor with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, or combinations thereof. Also provided are inhalable gases that can be employed in the presently disclosed methods.

摘要:
Patients with pathologic conditions involving constriction or proliferation of smooth muscle or disease associated with cysteine containing proteins, or who are at risk for such, are administered a therapeutically effective amount of a nitric oxide (NO) donor which is insufficient to acutely lower mean arterial blood pressure or pulmonary artery pressure by more than 10%. In one subgenus, NO donor is administered to modify red blood cell membrane receptors to prevent red blood cells from causing vasoconstriction. A related method which allows increased dosage of NO donor without acutely lowering mean arterial blood pressure comprises administering the NO donor into an artery of the patient. In another method, patients having a cardiovascular syndrome, or who are at risk for such, are administered a therapeutically effective amount of thiol which does not acutely affect blood pressure to a significant degree.
摘要:
Red blood cells can be loaded with low molecular weight nitrosylating agents, such as S-nitrosothiols, to act as a delivery system for NO+ groups to tissues. Loaded red blood cells can be used in methods of therapy for conditions which are characterized by abnormal O2 metabolism of tissues, oxygen-related toxicity, abnormal vascular tone, abnormal red blood cell adhesion, or abnormal O2 delivery by red blood cells. Such treatment of red blood cells can be extended to in vivo therapies, with the object to achieve an increase in the ratio of red blood cell S-nitrosothiol to hemoglobin.
