Erythropoiesis during recovery from iron deficiency: normocytes and macrocytes.
In 26 patients with severe iron deficiency and microcytic anemia (MCV less than 70 fl), serial red cell size distribution histograms (erythrograms) were taken before and during iron therapy. Initially all patients had a single population of red cells, all microcytes. With the first reticulocytosis after iron therapy, a new population of cells appeared, larger in volume than the original. In 23 ...
متن کاملRED CELLS, IRON, AND ERYTHROPOIESIS Adducin forms a bridge between the erythrocyte membrane and its cytoskeleton and regulates membrane cohesion
The erythrocyte membrane skeleton is the best understood cytoskeleton. Because its protein components have homologs in virtually all other cells, the membrane serves as a fundamental model of biologic membranes. Modern textbooks portray the membrane as a 2-dimensional spectrin-based membrane skeleton attached to a lipid bilayer through 2 linkages: band 3–ankyrin– spectrin and glycophorin C–prot...
متن کاملRED CELLS, IRON, AND ERYTHROPOIESIS Chemical activation of a high-affinity glutamate transporter in human erythrocytes and its implications for malaria-parasite–induced glutamate uptake
Human erythrocytes have a low basal permeability to L-glutamate and are not known to have a functional glutamate transporter. Here, treatment of human erythrocytes with arsenite was shown to induce the uptake of L-glutamate and D-aspartate, but not that of D-glutamate or L-alanine. The majority of the arseniteinduced L-glutamate influx was via a highaffinity, Na -dependent system showing charac...
متن کاملNovel roles for erythroid Ankyrin-1 revealed through an ENU-induced null mouse mutant.
Insights into the role of ankyrin-1 (ANK-1) in the formation and stabilization of the red cell cytoskeleton have come from studies on the nb/nb mice, which carry hypomorphic alleles of Ank-1. Here, we revise several paradigms established in the nb/nb mice through analysis of an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced Ank-1-null mouse. Mice homozygous for the Ank-1 mutation are profoundly anemic in ...
متن کاملInborn defects in the antioxidant systems of human red blood cells.
Red blood cells (RBCs) contain large amounts of iron and operate in highly oxygenated tissues. As a result, these cells encounter a continuous oxidative stress. Protective mechanisms against oxidation include prevention of formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), scavenging of various forms of ROS, and repair of oxidized cellular contents. In general, a partial defect in any of these systems...
