Sulfhydryl reducing agents and shape regulation in human erythrocytes.
Metabolic crenation of red cells is reversible; on addition of nutrients, echinocytes recover the normal discoid shape. When the shape recovery takes place in the presence of reducing agents such as dithiothreitol (DTT), morphological change continues until the cells are stomatocytic. The degree of stomatocytosis varies, depending on the cell morphology when the nutrients and reducing agent are...
متن کاملRegulation of Membrane Flexibility in Human Erythrocytes.
We have used spin-labels to detect prostaglandin E induced changes in erythrocyte membranes. The observed changes in spin-label resonance spectra can be mimicked in erythrocyte ghosts by loading them with cAMP or cGMP. These changes can also be observed by adding either of these cyclic nucleotides to intact cells. This entry of cyclic nucleotides into intact cells is blocked by an inhibitor of ...
متن کامل[Regulation of methemoglobin reduction in human erythrocytes].
The regulation of methemoglobin reduction in human erythrocytes was studied in vitro in association with glycolytic reactions, by using hemolysates prepared from the nitrate-treated eryth rocytes. The results obtained are as follows; 1) The addition of cytochrome b5 to the reaction mixture containing fructose 1,6-diphosphate as the substrate for glycolysis caused a marked increase in...
متن کاملTranscriptional induction of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase by dexamethasone in L35 hepatoma cells requires sulfhydryl reducing agents.
It is known that hepatic levels of reduced glutathione correlate with the activity of the liver-specific enzyme cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase. We examined the possibility that sulfhydryl reducing agents activate transcription of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase. Adding dithiothreitol (DTT, 1 mM) and dexamethasone to L35 hepatoma cells increased the content of 7alpha-hydroxylase mRNA 3-fold above...
متن کاملPrevention of the wortmannin-induced inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase by sulfhydryl reducing agents.
The effects of the sulfhydryl reducing agents 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol on wortmannin-induced inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) were studied in order to examine whether the sulfhydryl reducing agents directly affect the wortmannin inhibition of PI3K. These reducing agents are commonly used to stabilize enzyme structures by maintaining protein sulfhydryl groups in the red...
