RationaleCystic fibrosis (CF) patients are known to produce cyanide (CN-) although challenges exist in determinations of total levels, the precise bioactive levels, and specificity of its production by CF microflora, especiallyP. aeruginosa. Our objective was to measure total CN-levels in CF sputa by a simple and novel technique inP. aeruginosapositive and negative adult patients, to review respiratory tract (RT) mechanisms for the production and degradation of CN-, and to interrogate sputa for post-translational protein modification by CN-metabolites.MethodsSputa CN-concentrations were determined by using a commercially available CN-electrode, measuring levels before and after addition of cobinamide, a compound with extremely high affinity for CN-. Detection of protein carbamoylation was measured by Western blot.Measurements and main resultsThe commercial CN-electrode was found to overestimate CN-levels in CF sputum in a highly variable manner; cobinamide addition rectified this analytical issue. AlthoughP. aeruginosapositive patients tended to have higher total CN-values, no significant differences in CN-levels were found between positive and negative sputa. The inflammatory oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was shown to rapidly decompose CN-, forming cyanogen chloride (CNCl) and the carbamoylating species cyanate (NCO-). Carbamoylated proteins were found in CF sputa, analogous to reported findings in asthma.ConclusionsOur studies indicate that CN-is a transient species in the inflamed CF airway due to multiple biosynthetic and metabolic processes. Stable metabolites of CN-, such as cyanate, or carbamoylated proteins, may be suitable biomarkers of overall CN-production in CF airways.
