Marked reduction of spectrinin hereditary spherocytosis in the common house mouse.

چکیده
In contrast to the disease in humans, hereditary spherocytosis in the common house mouse produces an extreme spherocytosis. The cells show a broad distribution in size ranging from microcytic to macrocytic. Of particular interest is the finding of a substantial reduction in the major membrane polypeptide called spectrin, supporting a critical role for this protein in the control of erythrocyte shape and membrane stability.

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a familial hemolytic disorder with intracorpuscular mechanism that characterized by the production of red blood cells with sphere-like shape prone to hemolysis and can lead to hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, jaundice and gallstones. One of the main reasons for referring these patients to the operating room is splenectomy and cholecystectomy to treat the complica...
متن کاملDecreased membrane mechanical stability and in vivo loss of surface area reflect spectrin deficiencies in hereditary spherocytosis.
Whereas marked variations in the clinical manifestations of hereditary spherocytosis have long been recognized, we have only recently begun to define the molecular basis for this heterogeneity. An important unanswered question is whether decreased spectrin results in reduced membrane mechanical stability, and if this reduction in membrane mechanical stability can be related to in vivo surface a...
