Dynamics of shear-induced ATP release from red blood cells.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a regulatory molecule for many cell functions, both for intracellular and, perhaps less well known, extracellular functions. An important example of the latter involves red blood cells (RBCs), which help regulate blood pressure by releasing ATP as a vasodilatory signaling molecule in response to the increased shear stress inside arterial constrictions. Although s...
متن کاملLactate interferes with ATP release from red blood cells.
Upon exposure to low Po(2), the red blood cells of most species, including humans, release increased amounts of ATP that ultimately serves as a regulator of vascular tone matching oxygen supply with demand. In pathological conditions such as malaria and sepsis, a maldistribution of perfusion exists with its severity often correlated with the extent of elevation of serum lactate frequently in th...
متن کاملDeformation-induced ATP release from red blood cells requires CFTR activity.
Recently, it was reported that rabbit and human red blood cells (RBCs) release ATP in response to mechanical deformation. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the activity of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a member of the ATP binding cassette, is required for deformation-induced ATP release from RBCs. Incubation of rabbit RBCs with either of two inhibitors of...
متن کاملBioluminescent monitoring of ATP release from human red blood cells treated with nonionic detergent.
The adaptation of the firefly luciferin-luciferase system for the detection of ATP in the presence of Triton X 100 or Brij 58 nonionic detergents is described. The method is sensitive, easy to perform and is suitable for the continuous monitoring of the mobilization rate of ATP from Triton X 100- or Brij 58-treated human erythrocytes. A very rapid ATP release was observed after Triton X 100 tre...
متن کاملATP-dependent mechanics of red blood cells.
Red blood cells are amazingly deformable structures able to recover their initial shape even after large deformations as when passing through tight blood capillaries. The reason for this exceptional property is found in the composition of the membrane and the membrane-cytoskeleton interaction. We investigate the mechanics and the dynamics of RBCs by a unique noninvasive technique, using weak op...
