Anion Transport System

Human K562 leukemic cells exhibit several erythroid properties, including synthesis and expression of the major red blood cell sialoglycoprotein, glycophorin. This has led us to ask if these cells express a functional anion transport system analogous to that which is associated with the other major erythrocyte glycoprotein, band 3. The chloride-36 exchange flux in K562 cells is less than 0.6% of that which would be expected in mature erythrocytes under similar conditions. Unlike red blood cells, K562 cells do not exhibit a high chloride-sulfate selectivity, and various agents that inhibit red blood cell chloride exchange are all much less effective in K562 cells. On the basis of these flux measurements, K562 cells probably contain less than 600 fully functional red blood cell-like band 3 molecules per cell, in contrast to about a million molecules in the mature red blood cell. The possible-existence of greatly altered band 3 molecules with a reduced turnover rate and/or a reduced affinity for chloride and for various inhibitors is unlikely but cannot be completely excluded. Anion transport was also measured in K562 cells that had been induced to increase hemoglobin synthesis by various chemical agents. Even under these conditions, chloride fluxes indicated no substantial increase in the number of functional anion transport sites or their chloride transport rate.

Proton Uptake

Anion transport in the trout red blood cell is mediated by a membrane protein that selectively binds dihydro-4,4'-dithiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (3H2DIDS) and that forms on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electropherograms a band with the same diffuse structure at the same location as the band 3 protein of the mammalian red blood cells. There exists a linear relationship between binding of H2DIDS to this protein and the inhibition of anion equilibrium exchange. At maximal inhibition about 8 X 10(6) molecules/cell are bound to the protein. The kinetics of anion transport in the trout red blood cell differ from those of mammalian red blood cells. In addition to a H2DIDS-sensitive component of sulfate transport there exists a considerable H2DIDS-insensitive component with a relative magnitude that decreases with increasing temperature. At 23 degrees C, it amounts to about 25%. The temperature dependence of the H2DIDS-sensitive component is about 15 kcal/mol instead of 32 as in human red blood cells. Cl- transport increases with increasing pH. Above pH 7.4, the rate of transport becomes too fast to be measurable with either inhibitor stop or filtration technique. SO2-4 transport is nearly pH independent over the pH range 6.5 to 7.8 and the net entry of SO2-4 in exchange against intracellular Cl-, as followed in the absence of CO2, is accompanied by little if any proton uptake. Net proton uptake becomes measurable only at temperatures above 40 degrees C. Possibly at lower and more physiological temperatures, the band 3 protein in the red blood cell of the trout accomplishes part of the SO2-4 movements without cotransporting protons.

Abstract Glycophorin A is the major transmembrane sialoglycoprotein of red blood cells. It has been shown to contribute to the expression of the MN and Wright blood group antigens, to act as a receptor for the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and Sendai virus, and along with the anion transporter, band 3, may contribute to the mechanical properties of the red blood cell membrane. Several lines of evidence suggest a close interaction between glycophorin A and band 3 during their biosynthesis. Recently, we have generated mice where the band 3 expression was completely eliminated by selective inactivation of the AE1 anion exchanger gene, thus allowing us to study the effect of band 3 on the expression of red blood cell membrane proteins. In this report, we show that the band 3 −/− red blood cells contain protein 4.1, adducin, dematin, p55, and glycophorin C. In contrast, the band 3 −/− red blood cells are completely devoid of glycophorin A (GPA), as assessed by Western blot and immunocytochemistry techniques, whereas the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed the presence of GPA mRNA. Pulse-label and pulse-chase experiments show that GPA is not incorporated in the membrane and is rapidly degraded in the cytoplasm. Based on these findings and other published evidence, we propose that band 3 plays a chaperone-like role, which is necessary for the recruitment of GPA to the red blood cell plasma membrane.

The Difference

The endothelial cell glycocalyx influences blood flow and presents a selective barrier to movement of macromolecules from plasma to the endothelial surface. In the hamster cremaster microcirculation, FITC-labeled Dextran 70 and larger molecules are excluded from a region extending almost 0.5 μm from the endothelial surface into the lumen. Red blood cells under normal flow conditions are excluded from a region extending even farther into the lumen. Examination of cultured endothelial cells has shown that the glycocalyx contains hyaluronan, a glycosaminoglycan which is known to create matrices with molecular sieving properties. To test the hypothesis that hyaluronan might be involved in establishing the permeation properties of the apical surface glycocalyx in vivo, hamster microvessels in the cremaster muscle were visualized using video microscopy. After infusion of one of several FITC-dextrans (70, 145, 580, and 2,000 kDa) via a femoral cannula, microvessels were observed with bright-field and fluorescence microscopy to obtain estimates of the anatomic diameters and the widths of fluorescent dextran columns and of red blood cell columns (means ± SE). The widths of the red blood cell and dextran exclusion zones were calculated as one-half the difference between the bright-field anatomic diameter and the width of the red blood cell column or dextran column. After 1 h of treatment with active Streptomyces hyaluronidase, there was a significant increase in access of 70- and 145-kDa FITC-dextrans to the space bounded by the apical glycocalyx, but no increase in access of the red blood cells or in the anatomic diameter in capillaries, arterioles, and venules. Hyaluronidase had no effect on access of FITC-Dextrans 580 and 2,000. Infusion of a mixture of hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfate after enzyme treatment reconstituted the glycocalyx, although treatment with either molecule separately had no effect. These results suggest that cell surface hyaluronan plays a role in regulating or establishing permeation of the apical glycocalyx to macromolecules. This finding and our prior observations suggest that hyaluronan and other glycoconjugates are required for assembly of the matrix on the endothelial surface. We hypothesize that hyaluronidase creates a more open matrix, enabling smaller dextran molecules to penetrate deeper into the glycocalyx.

Introduction: Accumulating evidence demonstrates that subhaemolytic mechanical stresses, typical of circulatory support, induce physical and biochemical changes to red blood cells. It remains unclear, however, whether cell age affects susceptibility to these mechanical forces. This study thus examined the sensitivity of density-fractionated red blood cells to sublethal mechanical stresses. Methods: Red blood cells were isolated and washed twice, with the least and most dense fractions being obtained following centrifugation (1500 g × 5 min). Red blood cell deformability was determined across an osmotic gradient and a range of shear stresses (0.3–50 Pa). Cell deformability was also quantified before and after 300 s exposure to shear stresses known to decrease (64 Pa) or increase (10 Pa) red blood cell deformability. The time course of accumulated sublethal damage that occurred during exposure to 64 Pa was also examined. Results: Dense red blood cells exhibited decreased capacity to deform when compared with less dense cells. Cellular response to mechanical stimuli was similar in trend for all red blood cells, independent of density; however, the magnitude of impairment in cell deformability was exacerbated in dense cells. Moreover, the rate of impairment in cellular deformability, induced by 64 Pa, was more rapid for dense cells. Relative improvement in red blood cell deformability, due to low-shear conditioning (10 Pa), was consistent for both cell populations. Conclusion: Red blood cell populations respond differently to mechanical stimuli: older (more dense) cells are highly susceptible to sublethal mechanical trauma, while cell age (density) does not appear to alter the magnitude of improved cell deformability following low-shear conditioning.
