Partially oxygenated sickled cells: sickle-shaped red cells found in circulating blood of patients with sickle cell disease.
A previously uncharacterized type of sickled cell was found in venous blood of patients with sickle cell disease when blood was collected without exposure to air and fixed immediately with 1% glutaraldehyde solution equilibrated with 5% oxygen. These cells were either elongated, resembling irreversibly sickled cells (ISCs), or nonelongated, with a raisin-like shape. Both types assumed a normal ...
متن کاملMicroelasticity of red blood cells in sickle cell disease
Translation of cellular mechanics findings is crucial in many diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, type II diabetes, malaria, sickle cell disease, and cancer. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is appropriate for measuring mechanical properties of living and fixed cells due to its high force sensitivity and its ability to measure local and overall properties of individual ce...
متن کاملImpaired vasodilation by red blood cells in sickle cell disease.
Red blood cells (RBCs) have been ascribed a unique role in dilating blood vessels, which requires O2-regulated binding and bioactivation of NO by Hb and transfer of NO equivalents to the RBC membrane. Vasoocclusion in hypoxic tissues is the hallmark of sickle cell anemia. Here we show that sickle cell Hb variant S (HbS) is deficient both in the intramolecular transfer of NO from heme iron (iron...
متن کاملActivated neutrophil-mediated sickle red blood cell adhesion to lung vascular endothelium: role of phosphatidylserine-exposed sickle red blood cells.
Activated neutrophils (ANs) increase sickle red blood cell (SRBC) retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation. This study investigates the role of neutrophil activation and SRBC retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation through a mechanism that involves increasing phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the external membrane surface of the SRBCs (PS-exposed). With the use of flow cytometr...
متن کاملRed blood cells storage lesion: the effect of blood donation time on biochemical parameters
Abstract Background and Objectives There is a circadian rhythm and diurnal variation in the redox capacity in blood plasma and there is a decrease in antioxidant capacity (TAC) during the RBCs storage in blood banking. So it is possible that donated blood, based on donation time, has a different antioxidant capacity and as a result a different biochemical response during storage. This study at...
