Effects of cholesterol on lipid organization in human erythrocyte membrane
The molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid (C/P) in human erythrocyte membrane is modified by incubating the cells with liposomes of various C/P ratios. The observed increase in cell surface area may be accounted for by the addition of cholesterol molecules. Fusion between liposomes and cells or attachment of liposomes to cells is not a significant factor in the alteration of C/P ratio. Ons...
متن کاملInflammation-associated changes in lipid composition and the organization of the erythrocyte membrane
BACKGROUND Reduced erythrocyte survival and deformability may contribute to the so-called anemia of inflammation observed in septic patients. Erythrocyte structure and function are affected by both the membrane lipid composition and the organization. We therefore aimed to determine whether these parameters are affected during systemic inflammation. METHODS A sensitive matrix-assisted laser de...
متن کاملMembrane organization and lipid rafts.
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer, containing proteins that span the bilayer and/or interact with the lipids on either side of the two leaflets. Although recent advances in lipid analytics show that membranes in eukaryotic cells contain hundreds of different lipid species, the function of this lipid diversity remains enigmatic. The basic structure of cell membranes is the lipid bil...
متن کاملThe structural organization of skeletal proteins influences lipid translocation across erythrocyte membrane.
In order to define the influence of skeletal protein organization on transmembrane phospholipid movement in erythrocyte membranes, we measured the translocation rate of lysophosphatidylcholine in pathologic red cells. A simple method based on the differential extraction of lysophosphatidylcholine from the red cell membrane by saline and albumin solutions was used to quantitate the translocation...
متن کاملModels for actin filament organization in the erythrocyte membrane skeleton.
FISH is technically demanding. The analysis of each nucleus requires a sufficient duration of observation under the microscope in order to detect the fusion signal indicating a cell possessing the translocation. We also paid great attention to the preparation of the slides: only high-quality slides were scored. To avoid false positive signals, we performed 2 controls: (1) dilutions of Ph1 cells...
