Abstract We present the first direct nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) evidence of enhanced entry of Ca2+ ions into human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) when these cells are mechanically distorted. For this we loaded the RBCs with the fluorinated Ca2+ chelator, 1,2-bis(2-amino-5fluorophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N ′ ,N ′ -tetraacetic acid (5FBAPTA), and recorded 19F NMR spectra. The RBCs were suspended in gelatin gel in a special stretching/compression apparatus. The 5FBAPTA was loaded into the cells as the tetraacetoxymethyl ester; and 13C NMR spectroscopy with [1,6-13C]D-glucose as substrate showed active glycolysis albeit at a reduced rate in cell suspensions and gels. The enhancement of Ca2+ influx is concluded to be via the mechanosensitive cation channel Piezo1. The increased rate of influx brought about by the activator of Piezo1, 2-[5-[[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)methyl]thio]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-pyrazine (Yoda1) supported this conclusion; while the specificity of the cation-sensing by 5FBAPTA was confirmed by using the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187.

Red blood cells were loaded with 1,2-bis(2-amino-5-fluorophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (FBAPTA) by incubation with 50 microM of the acetoxymethyl ester (FBAPTA-AM), and cytosolic free Ca2+ was monitored with 19F-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Loading with 50 microM FBAPTA-AM, which results in a final FBAPTA level of approximately 0.5 mM, caused only a 25-30% fall in cell ATP as measured by 31P-NMR when 5 mM pyruvate was present. Leakage of the NMR active Ca2+ indicator, which results from cell lysis, was corrected for with the addition of extracellular Eu3+ ions, extracellular ethyleneglycol-bis(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), or washing. With this method, we have found basal levels of cytosolic free Ca2+ averaging 61 +/- 6 nM (means +/- SE, n = 19). When the intracellular level of FBAPTA was varied from 0.1 to 1.0 mM, there was no correlation between the level of cytosolic free Ca2+ and the level of loading with FBAPTA. Addition of 10 microM of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 with extracellular Ca2+ set at different levels by Ca2+-EGTA buffers caused an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ as expected. Furthermore, ATP depletion caused a two- to three-fold increase in cytosolic free Ca2+, consistent with inhibition of Ca2+ efflux via that Ca2+-ATPase.

Abstract Background The deregulation of immune system cell response implies loss of T-cell apoptosis, high rate of proinflammatory cytokines production and subsequent exacerbate activation of TNF-α pathway. The use of biologic antibody decrease inflammation rate and symptoms, but it remains unclear if it has a direct effect on the pathways activation/inactivation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The aim of this study is evaluate the role of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) applied to the metabolomic study of serum samples isolated from fresh blood from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients under IFX treatment to understand the activated/inactivated pathways of PBMCs. Methods A case–control study was performed. Inclusion criteria were IBD patients under IFX treatment. Blood samples were obtained in Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients before IFX and in healthy controls (CTRL). CD patients were divided into subgroups according to the gut affected, in Ileocolic (IC), ileum and colon. NMR samples of the serum were collected and measured according to Standard Operation Procedures. Three types of NMR spectra were measured for each serum sample (1Hnoepresat, 1Hcpmgpresat and 1HDfilterpresat). The signal in each NMR spectrum was integrated in a series of equidistant little portion of the spectrum called buckets of a constant width of 0.04 ppm, covering the complete 1H NMR spectral window from −5 to 14 ppm. Buckets in regions depleted from signal at the two extremes of the spectrum were discarded as well as those in the proximity of the water peak at ca. 4.7 ppm which was affected by the presaturation. The vectors corresponding to a number of samples of two or more groups can be rapidly analysed using Multivariant Statistical Analysis methods. Results Twenty-two IBD patients (12 CD and nine UC) were included, 10 CTRL were also included. The metabolomic analyses of the NMR spectra of the serum of the different patients and control groups by the fingerprinting and targeting profiling strategies provided OPLS-DA statistical models (Figure 1) that permitted the successful classification of certain groups of samples which are summarised in Table 1. Conclusion The results of this pilot NMR metabolomic study of serum samples of IBD found a series of spectral fingerprints that are able to discriminate between groups of patients CTRL and CD, which underlines its potential use for the diagnosis of the disease.
