Kinetics of extracellular ATP in mastoparan 7-activated human erythrocytes.
BACKGROUND The peptide mastoparan 7 (MST7) stimulated ATP release in human erythrocytes. We explored intra- and extracellular processes governing the time-dependent accumulation of extracellular ATP (i.e., ATPe kinetics). METHODS Human erythrocytes were treated with MST7 in the presence or absence of two blockers of pannexin 1. ATPe concentration was monitored by luciferin-luciferase based re...
متن کاملRegulation of Extracellular ATP in Human Erythrocytes Infected with Plasmodium falciparum
In human erythrocytes (h-RBCs) various stimuli induce increases in [cAMP] that trigger ATP release. The resulting pattern of extracellular ATP accumulation (ATPe kinetics) depends on both ATP release and ATPe degradation by ectoATPase activity. In this study we evaluated ATPe kinetics from primary cultures of h-RBCs infected with P. falciparum at various stages of infection (ring, trophozoite a...
متن کاملDynamic Regulation of Cell Volume and Extracellular ATP of Human Erythrocytes
INTRODUCTION The peptide mastoparan 7 (MST7) triggered in human erythrocytes (rbcs) the release of ATP and swelling. Since swelling is a well-known inducer of ATP release, and extracellular (ATPe), interacting with P (purinergic) receptors, can affect cell volume (Vr), we explored the dynamic regulation between Vr and ATPe. METHODS AND TREATMENTS We made a quantitative assessment of MST7-depe...
متن کاملATP-dependent sugar transport complexity in human erythrocytes.
Human erythrocyte glucose sugar transport was examined in resealed red cell ghosts under equilibrium exchange conditions ([sugar](intracellular) = [sugar](extracellular), where brackets indicate concentration). Exchange 3-O-methylglucose (3MG) import and export are monophasic in the absence of cytoplasmic ATP but are biphasic when ATP is present. Biphasic exchange is observed as the rapid filli...
متن کاملATP-dependent mechanism protects spectrin against glycation in human erythrocytes.
Human erythrocytes are continuously exposed to glucose, which reacts with the amino terminus of the β-chain of hemoglobin (Hb) to form glycated Hb, HbA1c, levels of which increase with the age of the circulating cell. In contrast to extensive insights into glycation of hemoglobin, little is known about glycation of erythrocyte membrane proteins. In the present study, we explored the conditions ...
