Physiologic rate of carrier-mediated Ca2+ entry matches active extrusion in human erythrocytes
The intracellular Ca2+ concentration of nearly all cells is kept at submicromolar levels. The magnitudes of transmembrane Ca2+ movement that maintain this steady state in the human red blood cell have long been debated. Although there is agreement that the physiologic extrusion of Ca2+ by the well-characterized Ca2+. ATPase amounts to 45 mumol/liter cells per h (1982. Nature (Lond.). 298:478-48...
متن کاملNa+/Ca2+ exchange-mediated calcium entry in human lymphocytes.
Regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ and cytosolic Na+ is critical for lymphocyte cation homeostasis and function. To examine the influence of cytosolic Na+ on Ca2+ regulation in human peripheral blood lymphocytes, Ca2+ entry and cytosolic Ca2+ (measured with fura-2) were monitored in cells in which cytosolic Na+ was increased and/or the Na+ gradient was decreased by reduction of external Na+ concentra...
متن کاملSurvival of human carrier erythrocytes in vivo.
Erythrocytes offer the exciting opportunity of being used as carriers of therapeutic agents. Encapsulation within erythrocytes will give the therapeutic agent a clearance equivalent to the normal life of the erythrocyte therefore maintaining therapeutic blood levels over prolonged periods and also giving a sustained delivery to the monocyte-macrophage system (reticulo-endothelial system). Both ...
متن کاملCa2+-activated K+ efflux limits complement-mediated lysis of human erythrocytes.
The lytic effect of complement on human erythrocytes has been reported by others to increase when Na+ is substituted for K+ in the external medium. In this paper we have investigated the hypothesis that net loss of K+ through a K+ transport pathway protects erythrocytes from complement-induced colloidosmotic swelling and lysis. Antibody-sensitized human erythrocytes containing different intrace...
متن کاملRole of STIM1- and Orai1-mediated Ca2+ entry in Ca2+-induced epidermal keratinocyte differentiation.
The uppermost thin layer on the surface of the skin, called the epidermis, is responsible for the barrier function of the skin. The epidermis has a multilayered structure in which each layer consists of keratinocytes (KCs) of different differentiation status. The integrity of KC differentiation is crucial for the function of skin and its loss causes or is accompanied by skin diseases. Intracell...
