LIN28A Expression Reduces Sickling of Cultured Human Erythrocytes
Induction of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) has therapeutic importance for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and the beta-thalassemias. It was recently reported that increased expression of LIN28 proteins or decreased expression of its target let-7 miRNAs enhances HbF levels in cultured primary human erythroblasts from adult healthy donors. Here LIN28A effects were studied further using erythrocy...
متن کاملSickling-induced binding of immunoglobulin to sickle erythrocytes.
Previously we demonstrated that sickle erythrocytes sedimenting at high densities after gradient centrifugation contain higher levels of surface immunoglobulin bound in vivo in comparison to low-density erythrocytes from the same patient. The present study examines the possibility that binding of autologous IgG to sickle erythrocytes may be associated with the sickling phenomenon. In the presen...
متن کاملInhibition of sickling in erythrocytes by amino acids.
Sickling of erythrocytes was rapidly and quantitatively inhibited at room temperature by 3.8 mM homoserine, asparagine, and glutamine but by no other amino acid.
متن کاملSickling times of individual erythrocytes at zero Po2.
A rapid-reaction parallel-plate flow channel was used to study the kinetics of erythrocyte sickling upon sudden deoxygenation with sodium dithionite. The erythrocytes were recorded on 16-mm film or video tape and visually tracked in time. Sickling was identified by morphologic criteria. At the flow rate used in these studies, the rate of sickling was a reaction-limited process. There was no los...
متن کاملAccelerated senescence of human erythrocytes cultured with Plasmodium falciparum.
Red blood cells infected withPlasmodium falciparum(IRBCs) undergo changes primarily in their membrane composition that contribute to malaria pathogenesis. However, all manifestations (eg, anemia) cannot be accounted for by IRBCs alone. Uninfected erythrocytes (URBCs) may play a role, but they have been under-researched. We wanted to document changes in the erythrocyte membrane that could contri...
