Rationale . Heart failure (HF) is accompanied by the development of an imbalance between oxygen- and nitric oxide-derived free radical production leading to protein nitration. Both chlorinating and peroxidase cycle of Myeloperoxidase (MPO) contribute to oxidative and nitrosative stress and are involved in tyrosine nitration of protein. Ceruloplasmin (Cp) has antioxidant function through its ferroxidase I (FeO  x  I) activity and has recently been proposed as a physiological defense mechanism against MPO inappropriate actions.  Objective . We investigated the relationship between plasma MPO-related chlorinating activity, Cp and FeO  x  I, and nitrosative stress, inflammatory, neurohormonal, and nutritional biomarkers in HF patients.  Methods and Results . In chronic HF patients ( n  = 81, 76 ± 9 years, NYHA Class II (26); Class III (29); Class IV (26)) and age-matched controls ( n  = 17, 75 ± 11 years, CTR), plasma MPO chlorinating activity, Cp, FeO  x  I, nitrated protein, free Malondialdehyde, BNP, norepinephrine, hsCRP, albumin, and prealbumin were measured. Plasma MPO chlorinating activity, Cp, BNP, norepinephrine, and hsCRP were increased in HF versus CTR. FeO  x  I, albumin, and prealbumin were decreased in HF. MPO-related chlorinating activity was positively related to Cp ( r  = 0.363,  P  < 0.001), nitrated protein, hsCRP, and BNP and inversely to albumin.  Conclusions . Plasma MPO chlorinated activity is increased in elderly chronic HF patients and positively associated with Cp, inflammatory, neurohormonal, and nitrosative parameters suggesting a role in HF progression.
