The aim of this paper is to draw information about influence of human red cell N-acetyl-neuraminic acid and its interaction with Ca++ on membrane itself stability. Then, changes of red cell behavior in reply to osmotic stress with and without Ca++ after treatment with neuraminidase has been studied. We noted that the treatment with neuraminidase causes spontaneous hemolysis (about 9%), independently of medium osmolarity. As regards membrane resistance to osmotic stretching, N-acetyl-neuraminic acid has a destabilizing effect on most erythrocytes whereas its interaction with Ca++ don't influences significantly membrane resistance to osmotic stretching. Nevertheless, in extreme conditions of osmolarity (i.e. when hemolysis of younger red cells occurs), destabilizing effect of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid is no longer observable and, on the contrary, when it interacts with Ca++, it increases the osmotic resistance of red cells. 相似文献

The effect of the therapeutic concentrations of benzylpenicillin on potassium release and osmotic resistance of the red blood cells in healthy children was investigated potentiometrically with the use of a K+-selective electrode. In a concentration of 0.66 mM (370 units/ml) benzylpenicillin increased the total content of potassium in the cells and their resistance to osmotic lysis and lowered the rate of K+ release induced by valinomycin. The membrane stabilizing effect of benzylpenicillin observed in these studies could to some extent stipulate its nonspecific antiinflammatory effect. In a concentration of 1.32 mM (740 units/ml) it had no significant effect on the indices studied. Under the effect of the maximum concentrations of the antibiotic (3.3 mM) the signs of lowered stability of the red blood cell membranes were observed, i.e. an increased rate of the valinomycin induced release of K+ and a tendency for the decreasing of the osmotic resistance. 相似文献

Vitamin E is an essential factor to maintain biological membranes stability and its lack may affect membranes structures and reduce erythrocyte life-span. Vitamin E also play a role in the maintenance of a normal platelet aggregation. A.A. studied the effects of a ten days supply of d-1-alpha tocopherol acetate (50 mg/Kg/die) on blood viscosity in 8 rabbits. Results obtained show a significant reduction of blood viscosity on 6th day of treatment in the male rabbits and a progressive reduction of values from the 6th till the 10th day in female rabbits. The most significant decrease of blood viscosity were obtained at the lowest shear-rates, due to an increased red cells deformability to the antioxidative action of vitamin E on the erythrocytes membrane and to a reduced red cells aggregation. Such modifications on the red blood cells caratheristics can be determined by vitamin E through different mechanism: a) inhibiting red cell membrane's polyunsaturable fatty acids oxidation; b) by removal of abnormal lipids from erythrocyte membrane; c) physical and chemical stabilization of membrane's surface. 相似文献

Mature male rats were injected with radioiron, which labeled immature red cells that were in the stage of hemoglobin synthesis at the time. Washed cells were subjected to lysis by hypotonic saline at 14 intervals ranging from 1 to 85 hours after 59Fe injection. Lysis curves were determined colorimetrically (for the whole population) and by scintillation counting of 59Fe gamma rays (for the labeled population). Newly labeled rat red cells are much more resistant than mature erythrocytes. The mature curve of osmotic resistance is acquired about 67 hours after injection. The delivery of labeled cells continues for more than 36 hours, so the maturation of osmotic properties of a typical rat red cell takes about 30 hours from entry into the circulation. Washed dog cells behave in similar fashion but delivery continues for three days and the mature lysis curve does not appear until five days after labeling, so that maturation takes about two days. Preincubation of cells is requisite for the appearance of osmotic resistance, but the basis of the incubation effect is not yet known. 相似文献

Danazol, an attenuated androgen, is useful in endometriosis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). However, its mechanism of action is unknown. We investigated the possibility that danazol affects cell membranes directly. Red cell osmotic fragility was studied in patients receiving danazol. A significant decrease in osmotic fragility was observed. Accompanying the change, peripheral blood smears showed many target cells and electron microscopy revealed extra folds in erythrocyte membranes. Twenty-two patients were studied prospectively before and after danazol. Osmotic fragility decreased significantly (P less than 0.001) in 1 month of therapy and progressed with further treatment. A rebound increase (P less than 0.01) was observed in 1 month after discontinuation of danazol among 16 patients. Incubation experiments showed that danazol-induced changes are not reversed with normal sera. Patient sera did not induce the changes in normal red cells. Danazol in vitro protected red cells from osmotic lysis at low concentrations but enhanced lysis at high concentrations. We suggest that danazol alters red cell membranes directly to increase their surface area, inducing target cell formation and increasing their resistance to osmotic lysis. 相似文献

Deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) is present in adenosine deaminase (ADA)-deficient or ADA-inhibited human red cells and in the red cells of the opossum Didelphis virginiana. In order to investigate the functions of dATP in the red cell, red cells were treated with 2'-deoxycoformycin (dCf), a powerful inhibitor of ADA, and incubated with phosphate, deoxyadenosine and glucose. These red cells in which ATP was almost completely replaced by dATP, had the same shape, lactate production, nucleotide consumption, stability of reduced glutathione, osmotic fragility and cell deformability as red cells containing ATP. Cells merely depleted of ATP showed reduced viability. This indicates that dATP compensates well for the absence of ATP and acts as an energy-transferring molecule to maintain cell viability. These results indicate that the accumulation of dATP or the reduction of ATP is not the cause of the hemolysis observed after dCf administration. 相似文献

Comparative studies were done on the cytoplasmic domain of the band 3 protein in the red cell membranes of the the human and the llama. Two approaches were used: crosslinking with o-phenanthroline/CuSO4, and cleavage with 2-nitro-5-thiocyanobenzoate. o-Phenanthroline/CuSO4 crosslinks the band 3 polypeptide chains in the human; in contrast band 3 in the llama is minimally crosslinked by this agent. 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanobenzoate cleaves band 3 in the human into a 23,000-dalton fragment; a similar fragment is not generated from the llama band 3. These studies show that the cysteine residue located 23,000 daltons from the N-terminus of band 3 in the human involved in these reactions is unavailable for crosslinking and cleavage in the llama. Species differences in the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 may contribute to the unusual resistance of llama red cells to osmotic, chemical and physically-induced deformation. 相似文献

Previous work has indicated that inbred mouse strains C57BL/6 and DBA/2 produce red cells differing in their sensitivity to osmotic lysis and that the trait is under multigene control. A recombinant inbred strain (BXD-31), produced from C57BL/6 and DBA/2, has red cells manifesting resistance to osmotic lysis far greater than that of either progenitor. We demonstrate here that the fragility difference between BXD-31 and DBA/2 is the consequence of allelic variation at a single autosomal locus, termed rol. The resistance allele (rol') is almost completely recessive to the sensitive one (rols). Results of bone marrow chimera analyses indicate that (1) the mode of rol gene action is by a direct influence on the properties of the red cells rather than an indirect influence on their extracellular milieu, and (2) rol does not affect erythrocyte production and turnover. The fragility difference caused by rol variation is likely to involve the erythrocyte membrane or underlying cytoskeleton, since various red cell properties sensitive to ion metabolism differences are unaffected by the gene. 相似文献

The peculiarities of osmoregulation of circulating red blood cells of the stenohaline giant goby Gobius cobitis and the euryhaline toad goby Gobius batrachocephalus have been studied under experimental conditions. In the giant goby, volume of the red blood cells increased steadily by 10.6–18.1%
( p < 0.05) after reduction of the medium salinity from 15–17 to 6.0–6.8‰ and this volume increase remained during the entire
experimental period (40–45 days). Lysis of red blood cells was noticed in some cases, which was indicated by a decrease of
the number of red blood cells and an increase of concentration of free hemoglobin in the blood plasma. No similar reactions
were observed in the euryhaline toad goby; the mean cell volume did not change statistically significantly. The volume regulation
resulted in K + efflux from red blood cells. The blood red cells of the toad goby had a high resistance to osmotic stress. The Na +,K +-ATPase activity in the red blood cell membranes of the toad goby was higher by 18.8% ( p < 0.001) than in the giant goby. 相似文献

Spherocytosis is a hereditary disease. It results from mutations in genes that encode proteins participating in the attachment of the membrane skeleton to the plasma membrane bilayer of the erythrocyte. In affected cells, interaction between the spectrin-actin meshwork and integral membrane proteins is altered. This results in the weakening of plasma membrane mechanical resistance and diminishing its elasticity. Since defective cells are prone to mechanical destruction and phagocytosis in the spleen, the fraction of morphologically-altered erythrocytes is rather small; this in turn means such an examination is prone to errors. In this paper, we describe a simple method which could be useful in the identification of red blood cells with altered osmotic properties. The method is based on the measurement of the amount of light scattered by a suspension of the red blood cells, during which cells are exposed to osmotic stress in the stopped-flow regime. The obtained plots are fitted to a mathematical formula, the parameters of which can be used as quantitative indicators of the changes in red blood cells' osmotic features. Two types of spherocytotic samples were examined: those with a proven deficiency in ankyrin and those with a decrease in the band 3 anion transporting protein. The presented data show that this method gives a reliable indication of altered osmotic properties of the spherocytic cells. 相似文献

Sugar-dependent increments in red cell stability under osmotic stress can be ascribed to changes either in the membrane or in the intracellular matrix. These two possible modes of action have been tested and characterized. Rheological investigation of membrane-free haemoglobin solutions has shown that D-glucose, but not D-fructose, promotes the formation of a visco-plastic gel structure. Gel strength is a function of glucose concentration, haemoglobin concentration and temperature. The ability of various sugars to promote gel formation correlates with their solution properties. The existence of gel structure reduces K+ and haemoglobin leak from red cells whose membranes were partially destroyed by gamma-radiation. Reduced osmotic swelling in the presence of glucose is also due to gel formation since the glucose effect is lost in resealed red cell ghosts. D-Fructose does not protect red cells against radiation damage; its mode of action in increasing red cell stability under osmotic stress is a membrane effect. Cell sizing using the Coulter Counter has shown that fructose, but not glucose, can increase the maximal volume at lysis. At 50 mM, D-fructose expands the red cell ghost volume by 11.2%; this represents a 7.2% increase in membrane area. Ghost expansion by fructose is fructose concentration dependent (0-100 mM) and is insensitive to temperature variation (0-37 degrees C). 相似文献

Although incubation with glucose before freezing can increase the recovery of human red blood cells frozen with polymer, this method can also result in membrane lesions. This study will evaluate whether addition of oligosaccharide (trehalose, sucrose, maltose, or raffinose) can improve the quality of red blood cell membrane after freezing in the presence of glucose and dextran. Following incubation with glucose or the combinations of glucose and oligosaccharides for 3 h in a 37 °C water bath, red blood cells were frozen in liquid nitrogen for 24 h using 40% dextran (W/V) as the extracellular protective solution. The postthaw quality was assessed by percent hemolysis, osmotic fragility, mean corpuscle volume (MCV), distribution of phosphatidylserine, the postthaw 4 °C stability, and the integrity of membrane. The results indicated the loading efficiency of glucose or oligosaccharide was dependent on their concentrations. Moreover, addition of trehalose or sucrose could efficiently decrease osmotic fragility of red blood cells caused by incubation with glucose before freezing. The percentage of damaged cell following incubation with glucose was 38.04 ± 21.68% and significantly more than that of the unfrozen cells (0.95 ± 0.28%, P < 0.01). However, with the increase of the concentrations of trehalose, the percentages of damaged cells were decreased steadily. When the concentration of trehalose was 400 mM, the percentage of damaged cells was 1.97 ± 0.73% and similar to that of the unfrozen cells ( P > 0.05). Moreover, similar to trehalose, raffinose can also efficiently prevent the osmotic injury caused by incubation with glucose. The microscopy results also indicated addition of trehalose could efficiently decrease the formation of ghosts caused by incubation with glucose. In addition, the gradient hemolysis study showed addition of oligosaccharide could significantly decrease the osmotic fragility of red blood cells caused by incubation with glucose. After freezing and thawing, when both glucose and trehalose, sucrose, or maltose were on the both sides of membrane, with increase of the concentrations of sugar, the percent hemolysis of frozen red blood cells was firstly decreased and then increased. When the total concentration of sugars was 400 mM, the percent hemolysis was significantly less than that of cells frozen in the presence of dextran and in the absence of glucose and various oligosaccharides ( P < 0.01). However, when both glucose and trehalose were only on the outer side of membrane, with increase of the concentrations of sugars, the percent hemolysis was increased steadily. Furthermore, addition of oligosaccharides can efficiently decrease the osmotic fragility and exposure of phosphatidylserine of red blood cells frozen with glucose and dextran. In addition, trehalose or raffinose can also efficiently mitigate the malignant effect of glucose on the postthaw 4 °C stability of red blood cells frozen in the presence of dextran. Finally, addition of trehalose can efficiently protect the integrity of red blood cell membrane following freezing with dextran and glucose. In conclusion, addition of oligosaccharide can efficiently reduce lesions of freezing on red blood cell membrane in the presence of glucose and dextran. 相似文献

Trypanosoma evansi is the causative agent of equine trypanosomoses. The disease is characterized by fever, anemia, and cachexia. Peroxidative damage of the red blood cells caused by the parasite, may contribute to the pathogenesis of the anemia seen in trypanosomoses. Consequently, we evaluated the hematocrit, the osmotic fragility of the red blood cells, the level of lipid peroxidation and the activity of the Ca-ATPase of red blood cell ghosts from rats experimentally infected with T. evansi. After 72 h inoculation, the hematocrit decreased from 49.5% to 33%; the osmotic fragility of the red blood cells was approximately 40% higher as compared to the healthy animals; and the red blood cell ghosts showed a higher level of lipid peroxidation and a lower Ca-ATPase activity than the red cell ghosts from the healthy animals. In vitro incubations of red blood cells from healthy animals with T. evansi, produced also a significant increase of the osmotic fragility of the red blood cells. 相似文献

The in vitro effects of gases and temperature on the osmotic fragility of carp erythrocytes were studied. At the three different temperatures analyzed (5, 11 and 20°C) there was no noticeable modification in erythrocyte membrane osmotic resistance. Osmotic fragility of red blood cells was altered by CO 2 and air treatment, as compared to the standard procedure. This suggests the need to take into account a possible moderate hypoxia that develops in the routine procedure of nucleated erythrocyte osmotic fragility tests. 相似文献

The mechanism by which cells reduce cytoplasmic vanadium(V) (vanadate) to vanadium(IV) was investigated using the human red cell as a model system. Vanadate uptake by red cells occurs with a rapid phase involving chemical equilibration across the plasma membrane and a slower phase resulting in a high concentration of bound vanadium(IV). The slow phase was inhibited in glucose-starved cells and restored upon addition of glucose indicating an energy requirement for this process. The time course of vanadium(IV) appearance (monitored by EPR spectroscopy of intact cells) paralleled the slow phase of uptake indicating that this phase involves vanadium reduction. The reduction of intracellular vanadate to vanadium(IV) was nearly quantitative after 23 h. The intracellular reduction is not enzymatic, since a similar time course of vanadium reduction and binding to hemoglobin was observed when glutathione was added to a hemoglobin + vanadate solution in vitro. Vanadium(IV) binding to hemoglobin was reduced by addition of ATP, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or EDTA, probably through chelation of the cation. The stability constant of the ATP-vanadium (IV) complex was determined to be 150 M-1 at pH 4.9. The time course of red cell vanadate uptake and reduction was followed in the concentration range in which approximately 60% inhibition of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is observed. It is concluded that vanadate is reduced by cytoplasmic glutathione in this concentration range and that the reduction explains the resistance of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to vanadium in intact cells. 相似文献

Cultured cells of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv VFNT-cherry, have been selected for resistance to water stress (low water potential) imposed by the addition of polyethylene glycol to the culture medium. The ability of nonselected cells to grow in media with low water potentials changes dramatically with the age of the cells (with respect to days following inoculation) whereas there is little effect of the age of selected cells on growth over the same media water potentials. The increased resistance of selected cells has limited stability in the absence of stress, indicating that resistance is established by a slow reversible adaptive process. Increased resistance (growth) in the presence of water stress appears to result from considerable osmotic adjustment by the cells. Growth cycle-dependent changes in resistance of nonselected cells are correlated with osmotic potential changes which are associated with the normal cell growth pattern in culture. Lowered osmotic potential is maintained by selected cells throughout the entire growth cycle and may explain the growth cycle independence of growth of selected cells on polyethylene glycol-containing media. Osmotic adjustment of resistant cells at stationary phase can be as much as 40 bar. Turgor is maintained by resistant cells (as high as 21 bar) in media with low water potentials at least partly at the expense of cell expansion. 相似文献
