The formation of clumps of RED BLOOD CELLS under low or non-flow conditions, resulting from the attraction forces between the red blood cells. The cells adhere to each other in rouleaux aggregates. Slight mechanical force, such as occurs in the circulation, is enough to disperse these aggregates. Stronger or weaker than normal aggregation may result from a variety of effects in the ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE or in BLOOD PLASMA. The degree of aggregation is affected by ERYTHROCYTE DEFORMABILITY, erythrocyte membrane sialylation, masking of negative surface charge by plasma proteins, etc. BLOOD VISCOSITY and the ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE are affected by the amount of erythrocyte aggregation and are parameters used to measure the aggregation.

Calculation of a Gap restoration in the membrane skeleton of the red blood cell: possible role for myosin II in local repair. (1/382)

Human red blood cells contain all of the elements involved in the formation of nonmuscle actomyosin II complexes (V. M. Fowler. 1986. J. Cell. Biochem. 31:1-9; 1996. Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 8:86-96). No clear function has yet been attributed to these complexes. Using a mathematical model for the structure of the red blood cell spectrin skeleton (M. J. Saxton. 1992. J. Theor. Biol. 155:517-536), we have explored a possible role for myosin II bipolar minifilaments in the restoration of the membrane skeleton, which may be locally damaged by major mechanical or chemical stress. We propose that the establishment of stable links between distant antiparallel actin protofilaments after a local myosin II activation may initiate the repair of the disrupted area. We show that it is possible to define conditions in which the calculated number of myosin II minifilaments bound to actin protofilaments is consistent with the estimated number of myosin II minifilaments present in the red blood cells. A clear restoration effect can be observed when more than 50% of the spectrin polymers of a defined area are disrupted. It corresponds to a significant increase in the spectrin density in the protein free region of the membrane. This may be involved in a more complex repair process of the red blood cell membrane, which includes the vesiculation of the bilayer and the compaction of the disassembled spectrin network. (+info)

Structural and functional consequences of antigenic modulation of red blood cells with methoxypoly(ethylene glycol). (2/382)

We previously showed that the covalent modification of the red blood cell (RBC) surface with methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) [mPEG; MW approximately 5 kD] could significantly attenuate the immunologic recognition of surface antigens. However, to make these antigenically silent RBC a clinically viable option, the mPEG-modified RBC must maintain normal cellular structure and functions. To this end, mPEG-derivatization was found to have no significant detrimental effects on RBC structure or function at concentrations that effectively blocked antigenic recognition of a variety of RBC antigens. Importantly, RBC lysis, morphology, and hemoglobin oxidation state were unaffected by mPEG-modification. Furthermore, as shown by functional studies of Band 3, a major site of modification, PEG-binding does not affect protein function, as evidenced by normal SO4- flux. Similarly, Na+ and K+ homeostasis were unaffected. The functional aspects of the mPEG-modified RBC were also maintained, as evidenced by normal oxygen binding and cellular deformability. Perhaps most importantly, mPEG-derivatized mouse RBC showed normal in vivo survival ( approximately 50 days) with no sensitization after repeated transfusions. These data further support the hypothesis that the covalent attachment of nonimmunogenic materials (eg, mPEG) to intact RBC may have significant application in transfusion medicine, especially for the chronically transfused and/or allosensitized patient.

Role of bilirubin overproduction in revealing Gilbert's syndrome: is dyserythropoiesis an important factor? (3/382)

Gilbert's syndrome was diagnosed in 37 patients with unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia without overt haemolysis or structural liver abnormality, who had a marked reduction in hepatic bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity (B-GTA) (as compared with that of 23 normal subjects). No significant correlation existed in these patients between serum bilirubin level and the values of B-GTA, thus suggesting that factors other than a low B-GTA must influence the degree of hyperbilirubinaemia in Gilbert's syndrome. Studies of 51Cr erythrocyte survival and 59Fe kinetics in 10 unselected patients demonstrated slight haemolysis in eight, whereas mild ineffective erythropoiesis was suggested in all from a low 24-hour incorporation of radioactive iron into circulating red cells. This overproduction of bilirubin resulting from mild haemolysis and perhaps dyserythropoiesis might reflect only an extreme degree of the normal situation. It certainly contributes to the hyperbilirubinaemia of Gilbert's syndrome and may play a major role in the manifestation of this condition. (+info)

The effects of cell ageing on metabolism in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) red blood cells. (4/382)

The effects of cell age on metabolism in the nucleated red blood cells of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were examined. Red blood cells were separated according to age using fixed-angle centrifugation. The mean erythrocyte haemoglobin concentration in old red blood cells was found to be 120 % of that in young red blood cells. In young red blood cells, the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes citrate synthase and cytochrome oxidase were 135-200 %, respectively, of those measured in old red blood cells. The activity of the glycolytic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase in young red blood cells was 170 % of that in old red blood cells, whereas the activity of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase was not significantly affected by cell age. In addition, young red blood cells consumed over twice as much O(2) and devoted 50 % more O(2) to protein synthesis and the activity of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase than old red blood cells. Red blood cell age did not significantly affect the rate of lactate production. This study shows that ageing in rainbow trout nucleated red blood cells is accompanied by a significant decline in aerobic energy production and the processes it supports, as well as a corresponding increase in the glycolytic contribution to metabolism.

Morphological and functional changes of mitochondria from density separated trout erythrocytes. (5/382)

Density separated trout erythrocytes, using a discontinuous Percoll gradient, yielded three distinct subfractions (top, middle and bottom) since older cells are characterized by increasing density. Cells from each subfraction were incubated with mitochondria-specific fluorescent probe Mitotracker and JC-1 in order to assess mitochondrial mass and membrane potential by means of cytofluorimetric analysis, confocal microscopy and subsequent computer-aided image analysis allowing a detailed investigation at single cell level. Both cytofluorimetric data and image analysis revealed changes in size and redistribution of mitochondria starting from the light fraction to the bottom. In particular in young erythrocytes small mitochondria were detected localized exclusively around the nucleus in a crown-like shape, the middle fraction revealed enlarged mitochondria partially scattered throughout the cytosol, whereas the last fraction represented again mitochondria with reduced size being distinctly dispersed throughout the cytosol in the cells. Concerning membrane potential considerations, our study revealed a dramatic decrease of DeltaPsi(m) in the bottom layer cell mitochondria compared to the top and unusual membrane potential increase of a subpopulation of enlarged mitochondria. DeltapH was also investigated in the three fractions by pretreating the cells with nigericin, allowing to confirm a mitochondrial energetic impairment in older cells. (+info)

Spontaneous autorosette-forming cells in man. A marker for a subset population of T lymphocytes? (6/382)

A subpopulation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes are capable of binding with human (autologous or allogeneic) erythrocytes, forming rosettes. The conditions which lead to autorosette formation are similar to those required for sheep red-cell rosetting. Ageing human erythrocytes are shown to bear less of the determinants involved in the phenomenon than younger ones. Evidence is presented that autorosetting is a T-cell marker. As autorosette-forming cells are very sensitive to the inhibiting effects of ATG they could therefore belong to a T-cell subpopulation. (+info)

Enzymatic removal of oxidized protein aggregates from erythrocyte membranes. (7/382)

Erythrocytes oxidized or aged in the circulation undergo membrane protein aggregation and anti-band 3 autoantibody binding to the cell surface. When human erythrocytes were mildly oxidized in vitro with 0.1 mM Fe(III) at 37 degrees C for 3 h, the aggregation of nonionic detergent C(12)E(8)-insoluble membrane protein and the binding of anti-band 3 IgG to the cell surface were increased. Incubation of membranes isolated from the oxidized cells increased the amount of protein aggregates by 5-fold after 6 h, while incubation for a further 12 h sharply decreased the amount of aggregates. In the presence of diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), however, the increased amount of aggregates was maintained in the subsequent incubation. Western blot analysis of the aggregates using rabbit anti-band 3 showed that band 3 protein aggregates increased in the initial stage of incubation and decreased upon subsequent incubation, whereas the increased band 3 protein aggregates did not subsequently decrease when membranes were incubated in the presence of DFP. Incubation of the oxidized cells at 37 degrees C for 18 h caused reduction of the membrane protein aggregates and the (125)I-anti-band 3 IgG binding to the cell surface, while incubation in the presence of DFP did not cause these reductions. The results suggest that the oxidation-induced cell membrane protein aggregates were probably removed by 80-kDa serine protease, namely, oxidized protein hydrolase (OPH), in the oxidized cell membranes [Fujino et al. (1998) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1374, 47-54; (1998) J. Biochem. 124, 1077-1085; (2000) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1478, 102-112], and as a result the increased anti-band 3 binding to the cell surface was reduced. (+info)

The adrenergic volume changes of immature and mature rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) erythrocytes. (8/382)

In this study, we examined whether the adrenergic volume response of teleost erythrocytes is related to cell maturity. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were made anaemic by reducing their haematocrit to approximately 50 % of the original value. After 3-4 weeks, small, young erythrocytes were seen in the circulation. By measuring the volume distribution of blood samples from anaemic fish before and after noradrenaline stimulation (10 min, 10(-5)mol l(-1) final concentration), we were able to show that the volume response of young, immature erythrocytes to catecholamine stimulation was greater than that of mature erythrocytes. In addition, the membrane fluidity, measured using the steady-state fluorescence polarisation method, was greater in anaemic fish after 24 days of recovery from bleeding than in control fish. Since blood from anaemic fish contained a large fraction of immature erythrocytes, this result indicates that the fluidity of the membrane of immature erythrocytes is greater than that of mature erythrocytes.

Here, by taking advantage of the preferential colocalization of intravenously administered erythrocytes with metastases in the lungs, we show that treatment with chemokine-encapsulating nanoparticles that are non-covalently anchored onto the surface of injected erythrocytes results in local and systemic tumour suppression in mouse models of lung metastasis. (nature.com)
Such erythrocyte-anchored systemic immunotherapy led to the infiltration of effector immune cells into the lungs, in situ immunization without the need for exogenous antigens, inhibition of the progression of lung metastasis, and significantly extended animal survival and systemic immunity that suppressed the growth of distant tumours after rechallenge. (nature.com)
Erythrocyte-mediated systemic immunotherapy may represent a general and potent strategy for cancer vaccination. (nature.com)
