Bioluminescent monitoring of ATP release from human red blood cells treated with nonionic detergent.

چکیده
The adaptation of the firefly luciferin-luciferase system for the detection of ATP in the presence of Triton X 100 or Brij 58 nonionic detergents is described. The method is sensitive, easy to perform and is suitable for the continuous monitoring of the mobilization rate of ATP from Triton X 100- or Brij 58-treated human erythrocytes. A very rapid ATP release was observed after Triton X 100 treatment of the red blood cells while the presence of Brij 58 caused a retarded mobilization of the intracellular ATP. The technique described seems to be applicable to all kinds of cells.

Investigation of aluminium uptake by human erythrocytes was the major aim of this study. Packed red blood cells were incubated in Earle's medium (pH 7.4) containing varying concentrations of aluminium (0-160 /lg/J) as AIK(SO.), and aluminium content of the cells were determined using flameless atomic absorption. There was significant increase in aluminium content of the cells. Addition of 5...
متن کاملDeformation-induced ATP release from red blood cells requires CFTR activity.
Recently, it was reported that rabbit and human red blood cells (RBCs) release ATP in response to mechanical deformation. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the activity of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a member of the ATP binding cassette, is required for deformation-induced ATP release from RBCs. Incubation of rabbit RBCs with either of two inhibitors of...
