The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. A small amount of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly as an oxygen carrier. Methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin M (an autosomal dominant trait).

Stomatocytosis is absent in "stomatin"-deficient murine red blood cells. (1/116)

To examine the relationship between erythrocyte membrane protein 7. 2b deficiency and the hemolytic anemia of human hereditary stomatocytosis, we created 7.2b knock-out mice by standard gene targeting approaches. Immunoblots showed that homozygous knock-out mice completely lacked erythrocyte protein 7.2b. Despite the absence of protein 7.2b, there was no hemolytic anemia and mouse red blood cells (RBCs) were normal in morphology, cell indices, hydration status, monovalent cation content, and ability to translocate lipids. The absence of the phenotype of hereditary stomatocytosis implies that protein 7.2b deficiency plays no direct role in the etiology of this disorder and casts doubt on the previously proposed role of this protein as a mediator of cation transport in RBC.

Familial pseudohyperkalemia maps to the same locus as dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (hereditary xerocytosis). (2/116)

Familial pseudohyperkalemia is a "leaky red blood cell" condition in which the cells show a temperature-dependent loss of potassium (K) from red blood cells when stored at room temperature, manifesting as apparent hyperkalemia. The red blood cells show a reduced lifespan in vivo but there is no frank hemolysis. Studies of cation content and transport show a marginal increase in permeability at 37 degrees C and a degree of cellular dehydration, qualitatively similar to the changes seen in dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (hereditary xerocytosis). Physiological studies have shown that the passive leak to K has an abnormal temperature dependence, such that the leak is less sensitive to temperature than that in normal cells. We performed genetic mapping on the original family and found that the condition in this kindred maps to the same locus (16q23-ter) that we have previously identified for an Irish family with dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, which does not show the same temperature effects. (+info)

Temperature effects on cation transport in hereditary stomatocytosis and allied disorders. (3/116)

The conditions known as 'hereditary stomatocytosis and allied syndromes' comprise a group of dominantly inherited human haemolytic anaemias characterized by a plasma membrane 'leak' to the univalent cations Na and K, an example of a small but growing group of diseases where pathology can be directly attributed to abnormal membrane transport. A number of case reports in the different variants have alluded to temperature-related phenomena, including loss of K on storage at room temperature (giving 'pseudohyperkalaemia') and lysis of cells when stored in the cold ('cryohydrocytosis'). This review collects together published studies of these temperature effects, which show very major differences in the 'leak' K transport. Two main variations on normal emerge: a 'shallow slope' type, in which the flux shows an abnormally low dependence on temperature in the range 37-20 degrees C, and 'high minimum', in which the minimum in this flux, which occurs in normal cells at 8 degrees C, is shifted up to 23 degrees C. These temperature studies provide a powerful method for phenotypic characterization. (+info)

The presence of an RHD pseudogene containing a 37 base pair duplication and a nonsense mutation in africans with the Rh D-negative blood group phenotype. (4/116)

Antigens of the Rh blood group system are encoded by 2 homologous genes, RHD and RHCE, that produce 2 red cell membrane proteins. The D-negative phenotype is considered to result, almost invariably, from homozygosity for a complete deletion of RHD. The basis of all PCR tests for predicting fetal D phenotype from DNA obtained from amniocytes or maternal plasma is detection of the presence of RHD. These tests are used in order to ascertain the risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn. We have identified an RHD pseudogene (RHD psi) in Rh D-negative Africans. RHDpsi contains a 37 base pair (bp) insert in exon 4, which may introduce a stop codon at position 210. The insert is a sequence duplication across the boundary of intron 3 and exon 4. RHDpsi contains another stop codon in exon 6. The frequency of RHDpsi in black South Africans is approximately 0.0714. Of 82 D-negative black Africans, 66% had RHDpsi, 15% had the RHD-CE-D hybrid gene associated with the VS+ V- phenotype, and only 18% completely lacked RHD. RHDpsi is present in about 24% of D-negative African Americans and 17% of D-negative South Africans of mixed race. No RHD transcript could be detected in D-negative individuals with RHDpsi, probably as a result of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Existing PCR-based methods for predicting D phenotype from DNA are not suitable for testing Africans or any population containing a substantial proportion of people with African ethnicity. Consequently, we have developed a new test that detects the 37 bp insert in exon 4 of RHDpsi. (Blood. 2000; 95:12-18) (+info)

Enhanced association of mutant triosephosphate isomerase to red cell membranes and to brain microtubules. (5/116)

In a Hungarian family with triosephosphate isomerase (TPI; D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate keto-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.1) deficiency, two germ-line identical, but phenotypically differing compound heterozygote brothers (one of them with neurological disorder) have been identified with the same very low (<5%) TPI activity and 20- or 40-fold higher erythrocyte dihydroxyacetone phosphate levels as compared with normal controls. Our present studies with purified TPI and hemolysates revealed the binding of TPI, and the binding of human wild-type and mutant TPIs in hemolysate, to the red cell membrane, and the interference of binding with other hemolysate proteins. The binding of the mutant TPI is enhanced as compared with the wild-type enzyme. The increased binding is influenced by both the altered structure of the mutant and the changes in the red cell membrane. Compared with binding of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the isomerase binding is much less sensitive to ionic strength or blocking of the N-terminal tail of the band-3 transmembrane protein. The binding of TPIs to the membrane decreases the isomerase activity, resulting in extremely high dihydroxyacetone phosphate levels in deficient cells. In cell-free brain extract, tubulin copolymerizes with TPI and with other cytosolic proteins forming highly decorated microtubules as shown by immunoblot analysis with anti-TPI antibody and by electron microscopic images. The efficacy order of TPI binding to microtubules is propositus > brother without neurological disorder > normal control. This distinct microcompartmentation of mutant proteins may be relevant in the development of the neurodegenerative process in TPI deficiency and in other, more common neurological diseases. (+info)

Survival of donor cells 25 years after intrauterine transfusion. (6/116)

Persistence of donor leukocytes in the circulation of recipients of intrauterine transfusion (IUT) has been observed up to 5 years after birth. The aim of this study was to determine whether transfusions with nonirradiated, nonleukocyte-depleted donor blood during the fetal period resulted in long-term immunomodulation of the recipient. Twenty-four surviving IUT recipients between 1966 and 1976 were tested for autoimmune disease and autoantibodies at follow-up. Ten had sex-mismatched donors and were therefore informative for chimerism studies using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Seven female recipients could be tested for chimerism using a Y- chromosome-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) because they received at least 1 IUT from a male donor. Nine recipients could be studied for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursor (CTLp) and helper T-lymphocyte precursor (HTLp) frequencies because the original donors were available for testing. All surviving IUT recipients were in good health at the time of the examination, and routine laboratory testing revealed no abnormalities. None of the IUT recipients were chimeric as determined by FISH analysis, but Y-chromosome-specific sequences were detected by PCR in 6 of the 7 women. However, the CTLp and HTLp frequencies of the IUT recipients against the donors were comparable to those of the controls. The current study provides evidence that IUT can result in the persistence of donor cells in the recipient for a period longer than 20 years but that it is not associated with immunotolerance or with signs of chronic antigenic stimulation.

Stomatin, flotillin-1, and flotillin-2 are major integral proteins of erythrocyte lipid rafts. (7/116)

Lipid rafts are sphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains that are insoluble in nonionic detergents, have a low buoyant density, and preferentially contain lipid-modified proteins, like glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. The lipid rafts were isolated from human erythrocytes and major protein components were identified. Apart from the GPI-anchored proteins, the most abundant integral proteins were found to be the distantly related membrane proteins stomatin (band 7.2b), flotillin-1, and flotillin-2. Flotillins, already described as lipid raft components in neurons and caveolae-associated proteins in A498 kidney cells, have not been recognized as red cell components yet. In addition, it was shown that the major cytoskeletal proteins, spectrin, actin, band 4.1, and band 4.2, are partly associated with the lipid rafts. Stomatin and the flotillins are present as independently organized high-order oligomers, suggesting that these complexes act as separate scaffolding components at the cytoplasmic face of erythrocyte lipid rafts.

Post-transcriptional effects of interleukin-3, interferon-gamma, erythropoietin and butyrate on in vitro hemoglobin chain synthesis in congenital hemolytic anemia. (8/116)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Various agents modulate hemoglobin synthesis. In vitro modulation of translation in hemoglobin chain synthesis was analysed in patients with congenital hemolytic anemia (n=32) and healthy controls (n=17). DESIGN AND METHODS: Enriched reticulocytes were co-incubated with (3)H-leucine and cytokines or butyrate. Reversed-phase chromatography enabled separation of alpha-, beta- and gamma-globin chains. Globin chain synthesis was calculated from measured (3)H-leucine incorporation. Transferrin, erythropoietin, interleukin-3 and interferon-gamma receptors were detected by flow cytometry. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) was used to demonstrate changes of RNA stability. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Interleukin-3, interferon-gamma and butyrate caused a significant 2-fold increase (range 1.8-2.4; p<0.01) of the alpha- and beta-chain synthesis in congenital hemolytic anaemias. Analysis of gamma-globin chain synthesis revealed a lower, i.e. 1.4 fold increase (range 1.32 to 1.41; p<0.03). The absolute amount of globin synthesis was calculated to be 2.9 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h. After incubation with interleukin-3 the absolute additional synthesis of the alpha-globin chain reached 1.31 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h, of the beta-globin chain, 1.15 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h and of the gamma-globin chain, 0.26 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h. Butyrate and interferon-gamma had no or even an inhibiting effect on reticulocytes from normal controls, while interleukin-3 stimulated alpha- and gamma-chain synthesis (1.4 and 2.4 fold, respectively; p<0.03) suggesting an increase of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Erythropoietin showed no stimulating influence. Membrane associated interleukin-3 receptors were detected in 0.78+/-0.14%, and interferon-gamma receptors in 0.1+/-0.015% of the red cells. Erythropoietin receptors were extremely rare (0.05+/-0.015%). The expression of transferrin receptors (CD71) correlated with the extent of globin chain stimulation. The alpha-, and beta-globin mRNA content of the reticulocytes after interleukin-3 incubation, as measured by RT-PCR, increased. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: Hemoglobin chain synthesis could be modulated post-transcriptionally by interleukin-3, interferon-gamma and butyrate. Transferrin receptor and globin RNA stability might be involved in this phenomenon. (+info)
