Oonishi, Tadahiro, Kanako Sakashita, and Nobuhiro Uyesaka. Regulation of red blood cell filterability by Ca21 influx and cAMP-mediated signaling pathways. Am. J. Physiol. 273 (Cell Physiol. 42): C1828–C1834, 1997.—To investigate the mechanism of the regulation of human red blood cell deformability, we examined the deformability under mechanical stress. Washed human red blood cells were rapidly injected through a fine needle, and their filterability was measured using a nickel mesh filter. The decrease in filterability showed a V-shaped curve depending on the extracellular Ca21 concentration; the maximum decrease was achieved at ,50 μM. The decreased filterability was accompanied by no change in cell morphology and cell volume, indicating that the decrease in filterability can be ascribed to alterations of the membrane properties. Ca21 entry blockers (nifedipine and felodipine) inhibited the impairment of filterability under mechanical stress. Prostaglandins E1 and E2, epinephrine, and pentoxifylline, which are thought to modulate the intracellular adenosine 38,58-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) level of red blood cells, improved or worsened the impaired filterability according to their expected actions on the cAMP level of the cells. These results strongly suggest that the membrane properties regulating red blood cell deformability are affected by the signal transduction system, including Ca21-dependent and cAMP-mediated signaling pathways.

Regulation of red blood cell filterability by Ca2+ influx and cAMP-mediated signaling pathways.

To investigate the mechanism of the regulation of human red blood cell deformability, we examined the deformability under mechanical stress. Washed human red blood cells were rapidly injected through a fine needle, and their filterability was measured using a nickel mesh filter. The decrease in filterability showed a V-shaped curve depending on the extracellular Ca2+ concentration; the maximum ...

Changes in expression of klotho affect physiological processes, diseases, and cancer

Klotho (KL) encodes a single-pass transmembrane protein and is predominantly expressed in the kidney, parathyroid glands, and choroid plexus. Genetic studies on the KL gene have revealed that DNA hypermethylation is one of the major risk factors for aging, diseases, and cancer. Besides, KL exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects by regulating signaling pathways and the expression of tar...

Recent Advances in T Cell Signaling in Aging

The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...

I-34: Steroid Hormone Signalling at the FetomaternalInterface

Background: Progesterone is indispensable for differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) into decidual cells, a process that critically controls embryo implantation. However, HESCs also abundantly express androgen receptors (AR), yet the role of this member of the superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors in the decidual process remains poorly elucidated. Materials a...
