Single-cell electrical lysis of erythrocytes detects deficiencies in the cytoskeletal protein network.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The network of erythrocyte cytoskeletal proteins significantly influences erythrocyte physical and biological properties. Here we show that the kinetics of erythrocyte lysis during exposure to an electric field is sensitively correlated with defects in the cytoskeletal network. Histograms compiled from single-cell electrical lysis data show characteristics of erythrocyte populations that are deficient in a specific cytoskeletal protein, revealing the presence of cell subpopulations.

Red cell membrane protein abnormalities as defined by sds-page among patients with anaemia in a west african region hospital practice
Background: Erythrocytes require an ability to deform and to withstand shear stress while negotiating the microcirculation. These properties are largely due to their excess surface area per volume and the characteristics of the membrane’s protein. Deficiencies of these proteins are associated with chronic haemolysis. Methods: This was a cross sectional study aimed at determining the prevalenc...
متن کاملStudies on the cytoskeletal and nuclear architecture of Xenopus erythrocytes.
A proteinaceous cytoskeletal network is present in nucleated erythrocytes, which is obscured ultrastructurally in whole cells due to the presence of haemoglobin. Lysis of Xenopus erythrocytes in solutions containing Triton X-100 reveals a cytoskeleton that contains a centrally positioned nucleus, which is linked to the cell surface-associated cytoskeleton by intermediate filaments. The marginal...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis and Optimal Design of FLPSS for Power Network Connected Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Using of PSO
This paper studies the theory and modeling manner of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) into power network and its effect on small signal stability. The paper demonstrates the fundamental module, mathematical analysis and small signal modeling of the SOFC connected to single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system. The basic contribution of the study is to attenuate the low frequency oscillations by optim...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Rosmarinus officinalis L. Essential Oil against Free Radical-Induced Erythrocyte Lysis
The oxidative hemolysis of rat erythrocytes induced by 2,2’-azobis–(2-amidinopropane) (AAPH) and its inhibition by rosemary essential oil was studied. Different concentrations (0.178, 0.357, 0.534 and 0.712 ml/ml) of the essential oil showed no significant hemolysis compared to phosphate buffer solution. AAPH (25 mM and 50 mM) induced hemolysis in a time-dependent manner. Diff e r e n t ...
متن کاملOptimization of Single Cell Protein Production by Aspergillus niger Using Taguchi Approach
: World population has been continuously raised and therefore due to this fact new source of foods, particularly proteins, are in demand. In recent years, single cell protein has been considered as an accepted substitute for animal and plant proteins. In this study, single cell protein production was studied in a batch submerged culture using Aspergillus niger PTCC5012. Experimental design was ...
