Abstract

The major feature of sickle cell anemia is the tendency of erythrocytes to sickle when exposed to decreased oxygen tension and to unsickle when reoxygenated. Irreversible sickle cells (ISCs) are sickle erythrocytes which retain bipolar elongated shapes despite reoxygenation. ISCs are believed to owe their biophysical abnormalities to acquired membrane alterations which decrease membrane deformability. While increased membrane surface viscosity has been measured in ISCs, the lateral dynamics of membrane lipids in these cells have not heretofore been examined. We have measured the lateral diffusion of the lipid analog 3,3'-dioctadecylindocyanine iodide (DiI) in the plasma membrane of intact normal erythrocytes, reversible sickle cells (RSCs), and irreversible sickle cells by fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR). The diffusion coefficients +/- standard errors of the mean of DiI in intact normal red blood cells (RBCs), RSCs, and ISCs at 37 degrees C are (8.06 +/- 0.29) X 10(-9) cm2 X s-1, (7.74 +/- 0.22) X 10(-9) cm2 X s-1, and (7.29 +/- 0.24) X 10(-9) cm2 X s-1, respectively. A similar decrease in the diffusion coefficient of DiI in the plasma membranes of the three cell types was observed at 4, 10, 17, 23, and 30 degrees C....Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
