Non-oxidative band-3 clustering agents cause the externalization of phosphatidylserine on erythrocyte surfaces by a calcium-independent mechanism. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2020; 1862:183231. [PMID: 32119860 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2020.183231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Aging of red blood cells (RBCs) is associated with alteration in a wide range of RBC features, occurring each on its own timescale. A number of these changes are interrelated and initiate a cascade of biochemical and structural transformations, including band-3 clustering and phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization. Using specific band-3 clustering agents (acridine orange (AO) and ZnCl2), we examined whether treatment of RBCs with these agents may affects PS externalization and whether this process is Ca2+-dependent. RBCs were isolated from the blood of eight healthy donors upon obtaining their informed consent. The suspension was supplemented with increasing concentrations of AO or ZnCl2 (from 0.5 to 2.0 mM) and incubated at 25 °C for 60 min. To detect PS at the RBC surface, we used allophycocyanin-conjugated recombinant human Annexin V. We demonstrated, that treatment of RBCs with both clustering agents caused an elevation in the percent of cells positively labeled by Annexin-V (RBCPS), and that this value was not dependent on the presence of calcium in the buffer: RBCs treated with AO in the presence of either EDTA, EGTA or calcium exhibited similar percentage of RBCPS. Moreover, the active influx of Zn2+ into RBCs induced by their co-incubation with both ZnCl2 and A23187 did not increase the percent of RBCPS as compared to RBCs incubated with ZnCl2 alone. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the band-3 clustering agents (AO or ZnCl2) induce PS externalization in a Ca2+ independent manner, and we hereby suggest a possible scenario for this phenomenon.

Abstract
Cell membrane cloaking is an emerging field in drug delivery in which specific functions of parent cells are conferred to newly formed biomimetic vehicles. A growing variety of delivery systems with diverse surface properties have been utilized for this strategy, but it is unclear whether the affinity of membrane-core pairs could guarantee effective and proper camouflaging. In this study, we propose a concise and effective "molecular affinity" strategy using the intracellular domain of transmembrane receptors as "grippers" during membrane coating. Red blood cell (RBC) membranes and cationic liposomes were adopted for fabrication, and a peptide ligand derived from the cytoplasmic protein P4.2 was prepared to specifically recognize the cytoplasmic domain of band 3, a key transmembrane receptor of erythrocytes. Once anchored onto the liposome surface, the P4.2-derived peptide would interact with the isolated RBC membrane, forming a "hidden peptide button", which ensures the right-side-out orientation. The membrane-coated liposomes exhibited an appropriate size distribution around 100 nm and high stability, with superior circulation durations compared with those of conventional PEGylated liposomes. Importantly, they possessed the ability to target Candida albicans by the interaction between the pathogenic fungus and host erythrocytes and to neutralize hemotoxin secreted by the pathogenic fungi. The curative effect of the model drug was thus substantially improved. In summary, the "molecular affinity" strategy may provide a powerful and universal approach for the construction of cell membrane-coated biomaterials and nanomedicines at both laboratory and industrial scales.

Abstract
This review focuses on the analysis and evaluation of the diverse senescence markers suggested to prime red blood cells (RBC) for clearance in humans. These tags develop in the course of biochemical and structural alterations accompanying RBC aging, as the decrease of activities of multiple enzymes, the gradual accumulation of oxidative damage, the loss of membrane in form of microvesicles, the redistribution of ions and alterations in cell volume, density, and deformability. The actual tags represent the penultimate galactosyl residues, revealed by desialylation of glycophorins, or the aggregates of the anion exchanger (band 3 protein) to which anti-galactose antibodies bind in the first and anti-band 3 naturally occurring antibodies (NAbs) in the second case. While anti-band 3 NAbs bind to the carbohydrate-free portion of band 3 aggregates in healthy humans, induced anti-lactoferrin antibodies bind to the carbohydrate-containing portion of band 3 and along with anti-band 3 NAbs may accelerated clearance of senescent RBC in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Exoplasmically accessible phosphatidylserine (PS) and the alterations in the interplay between CD47 on RBC and its receptor on macrophages, signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPalpha protein), were also reported to induce erythrocyte clearance. We discuss the relevance of each mechanism and analyze the strength of the data.

Abstract
4,4'-Diiso-thiocyanato stilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS) is a membrane-impermeable, highly specific covalent inhibitor and powerful thermal stabiliser of the anion exchanger (AE1), the major integral protein of erythrocyte membrane (EM). Suspensions of control and DIDS-treated (15 µM, pH 8.2) human erythrocytes were heated from 20° to 70°C using various but constant heating rates (1-8°C/min). The cellular electrolyte leakage exhibited a sigmoidal response to temperature as detected by conductometry. The critical midpoint temperature of leakage, T(mo), extrapolated to low heating rate (0.5°C/min) was used as a measure for EM thermostability. T(mo) was greater for DIDS-treated erythrocytes, 63.2° ± 0.3°C, than for intact erythrocytes, 60.7° ± 0.2°C. The time, t(1/2), for 50% haemolysis of erythrocytes, exposed to 53°C was used as a measure for the resistance of erythrocytes against thermal haemolysis. The t(1/2) was also greater for DIDS-treated erythrocytes, 63 ± 3 min, than for intact erythrocytes, 38 ± 2 min. The fluorescent label N-(3-pyrenyl)maleimide and EPR spin label 3-maleimido-proxyl, covalently bound to sulphydryl groups of major EM proteins, were used to monitor the changes in molecular motions during transient heating. Both labels reported an intensification of the motional dynamics at the denaturation temperatures of spectrin (50°C) and AE1 (67°C), and, surprisingly, immobilisation of a major EM protein, presumably the AE1, at T(mo). The above results are interpreted in favour of the possible involvement of a predenaturational rearrangement of AE1 copies in the EM thermostability and the resistance against thermal haemolysis.

Abstract
The mechanism of macrophage recognition of oxidatively damaged cells was investigated. Jurkat T cells exposed to various concentrations of H(2)O(2) were bound and phagocytosed by macrophages. The cells exposed to 0.1 mM H(2)O(2) were best bound. The cell-surface ligands recognized by macrophages were suggested to be sialylpolylactosaminyl sugar chains of a major sialoglycoprotein CD43 because 1) the cell binding was inhibited by oligosaccharides containing sialylpolylactosaminyl chains, and their inhibitory activity was destroyed by a polylactosamine-cleaving enzyme endo-beta-galactosidase, and by neuraminidase; 2) the oxidized Jurkat cells pretreated with either glycosidase or with anti-CD43 antibody were not bound. The macrophage receptor involved in the binding was suggested to be cell-surface nucleolin because 1) anti-nucleolin antibody inhibited the binding; 2) nucleolin-transfected HEK293 cells bound the oxidized cells; and 3) this binding was inhibited by anti-nucleolin antibody and by anti-CD43 antibody. CD43 on oxidized Jurkat cells tended to form clusters in good accordance with their susceptibility to the macrophage binding. CD43 clustering and the oxidized-cell binding to macrophages were prevented by a caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk, suggesting that the oxidized and bound cells were undergoing apoptosis. Indeed, caspase-3 activity of Jurkat cells increased by the oxidation. These results suggest that moderately oxidized cells undergo apoptosis and are recognized by macrophages as early apoptotic cells.

Abstract
CD47 functions as a marker of self on red blood cells (RBCs) by binding to signal regulatory protein alpha on macrophages, preventing phagocytosis of autologous RBCs by splenic red pulp macrophages, and Fcgamma receptor (FcgammaR)- or complement receptor-mediated phagocytosis by macrophages in general. RBC senescence involves a series of biochemical changes to plasma membrane proteins or lipids, which may regulate phagocytosis by macrophages. Here, we investigated whether CD47 on experimentally senescent murine RBCs affects their phagocytosis by macrophages in vitro. Clustering of CD47 with antibodies was more pronounced in the plasma membrane of untreated RBCs, compared with that in in vitro oxidized RBCs (Ox-RBCs). Phagocytosis of Ox-RBCs was mediated by scavenger receptors (SRs) distinct from SR-A or CD36 and required serum factors. We found that wild-type (WT) and CD47(-/-) Ox-RBCs were phagocytosed equally well by macrophages in the presence of serum, suggesting that phagocytosis via SRs is not inhibited by CD47. Despite this, FcgammaR-mediated phagocytosis of IgG-opsonized Ox-RBCs was strongly inhibited by CD47. These data suggest that based on the specific prophagocytic receptors mediating uptake of senescent RBCs, the phagocytosis-inhibitory role of CD47 may be more or less involved.

Abstract
In the early 1990s, the Galalpha(1,3)Gal carbohydrate linkage was found to be the major xenoepitope causing hyperacute rejection. This carbohydrate, the antibodies that bind to it, and the enzyme that produces it (alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase) were the foci of research by many groups. Nearly a decade later, alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout pigs were finally produced; hyperacute rejection could be avoided in these pigs. Having achieved this goal, enthusiasm declined for the study of glycosyltransferases and their carbohydrate products. To examine whether this decline was premature, we evaluate whether gene deletion has indeed solved the initial rejection problem or, in fact, created new problems. This review addresses this by examining the impact of the gene deletion on cell surface carbohydrate. Surprisingly, Galalpha(1,3)Gal is still present in alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout animals: it is possibly synthesized on lipid by iGb3 synthase. Furthermore, removal of alphaGal resulted in the exposure of the N-acetyllactosamine epitope. This exposed epitope can bind natural antibodies and perhaps should be capped by transgenic expression of another transferase. We believe the continued study of glycosyltransferases is essential to examine the new issues raised by the deletion of alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase.

Abstract
Early apoptotic Jurkat T cells undergo capping of CD43, and its polylactosaminyl saccharide chains serve as ligands for phagocytosis by macrophages. This suggests the presence of a polylactosaminoglycan-binding receptor on macrophages. Here we show that this receptor is nucleolin, a multifunctional shuttling protein present in nucleus, cytoplasm, and on the surface of some types of cells. Nucleolin was detected at the surface of macrophages, and anti-nucleolin antibody inhibited the binding of the early apoptotic cells to macrophages. Nucleolin-transfected HEK293 cells expressed nucleolin on the cell surface and bound the early apoptotic cells but not phosphatidylserine-exposing late apoptotic cells. This binding was inhibited by anti-nucleolin antibody, by polylactosamine-containing oligosaccharides, and by anti-CD43 antibody. Deletion of the antibody binding region of nucleolin resulted in loss of the apoptotic cell-binding ability. Moreover, truncated recombinant nucleolin in solution containing this region blocked the apoptotic cell binding to macrophages, and the blocking effect was cancelled by the oligosaccharides. These results indicate that nucleolin is a macrophage receptor for apoptotic cells.

Abstract
The molecular stability of hemoglobin is critical for normal erythrocyte functions, including oxygen transport. Hemoglobin C (HbC) is a mutant hemoglobin that has increased oxidative susceptibility due to an amino acid substitution (beta6: Glu to Lys). The growth of Plasmodium falciparum is abnormal in homozygous CC erythrocytes in vitro, and CC individuals show innate protection against severe P. falciparum malaria. We investigated one possible mechanism of innate protection using a quantum dot technique to compare the distribution of host membrane band 3 molecules in genotypically normal (AA) to CC erythrocytes. The high photostability of quantum dots facilitated the construction of 3D cell images and the quantification of fluorescent signal intensity. Power spectra and 1D autocorrelation analyses showed band 3 clusters on the surface of infected AA and CC erythrocytes. These clusters became larger as the parasites matured and were more abundant in CC erythrocytes. Further, average cluster size (500 nm) in uninfected (native) CC erythrocytes was comparable with that of parasitized AA erythrocytes but was significantly larger (1 microm) in parasitized CC erythrocytes. Increased band 3 clustering may enhance recognition sites for autoantibodies, which could contribute to the protective effect of hemoglobin C against malaria.

Abstract
Erythrocytes are a convenient model to understand the membrane oxidative damage induced by various xenobiotic-prooxidants. In this investigation, we have examined the potency of Fenvalerate (FEN) and its metabolite, p-chlorophenyl isovaleric acid (p-CPIA) to induce oxidative stress response in rat erythrocytes in vitro in terms of lipid peroxidation and effects on selected antioxidant enzymes. Susceptibility of erythrocytes to FEN exposure was further investigated in terms of morphological alterations by scanning electron microscopy and protein damage by gel electrophoresis of erythrocyte ghosts. Following in vitro exposure, FEN caused a significant induction of oxidative damage in erythrocytes at concentrations beyond 0.1 mM as evidenced by increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels. The response was both concentration and time dependent. At higher concentrations, significant decreases in the activities of vital antioxidant enzymes viz., catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione transferase and glutathione reductase were also discernible clearly suggesting the potency of both, parent compound and its metabolite to induce oxidative stress in erythrocytes. Scanning electron micrographs of erythrocytes following FEN exposure at higher concentrations revealed various degrees of distortion in shape and ruptured membranes. Furthermore, gel electrophoresis studies revealed consistent and significant aggregation of only band 3 protein in erythrocyte membranes exposed to either FEN or p-CPIA at higher concentrations. These in vitro findings show that FEN and its metabolite have the propensity to cause significant oxidative damage in rat erythrocytes, which is associated with marked damage to membrane proteins. These data suggest that both structural and functional perturbations may ensue in erythrocytes following exposure to FEN at higher concentrations under in vivo situations.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC) blood group antigens are polymorphic, inherited, carbohydrate or protein structures located on the extracellular surface of the RBC membrane. They contribute to the architecture of the RBC membrane, and their individual function(s) are being slowly revealed. The biological qualities assigned to these RBC membrane structures are based on observed physiological alteration in RBCs that lack the component, by documenting similarities in its protein sequence (predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the gene) to proteins of known function and by extrapolation to identified functional homologues in other cells. The varied roles of RBC antigens include membrane structural integrity, the transport of molecules through the membrane, as receptors for extracellular ligands, adhesion molecules, enzymes, complement components and regulators, and in glycocalyx formation.

Abstract
Living bodies may experience oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species and heavy metal ions, which may damage components in the body and cause aging and disorders. In addition to the known defense systems against oxidative damage, the author describes new defense systems. Lipid peroxidation in living bodies, which has hitherto been thought to increase oxidative damage, was found to attenuate oxidative stress-induced DNA damage. Red blood cells become senescent due to oxidative stress during circulation, where membrane band 3 becomes aggregated to anti-band 3 IgG and macrophages attached through poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains, and the sugar chain attachment to macrophages is stimulated by oxidative stress in macrophages. Oxidized protein hydrolase that preferentially hydrolyzes proteins damaged by oxidative stress was newly discovered, which may play an important role in saving cells from oxidative damage.

Abstract
A novel mechanism of phagocytic recognition of apoptotic cells was found and characterized. Jurkat cells incubated with appropriate concentrations of etoposide or anti-Fas antibody transiently became susceptible to binding and phagocytosis by THP-1 cell-derived macrophages at 2 h. The bound Jurkat cells showed no chromatin condensation, but the binding was prevented by a caspase inhibitor, indicating that they were recognized at an early stage of apoptosis. The ligands recognized on the apoptotic cells were sialylpolylactosaminyl sugar chains because 1) the binding was inhibited by an oligosaccharide preparation of erythrocyte membrane, and its inhibitory activity was destroyed by polylactosaminoglycan-specific endo-beta-galactosidase or neuraminidase; 2) Jurkat cells pretreated with endo-beta-galactosidase or neuraminidase failed to be recognized; and 3) treatment of the apoptotic cells with polylactosaminoglycan-binding Datura stramonium agglutinin prevented recognition. The sialylpolylactosaminyl chains involved were most likely those of a major sialoglycoprotein CD43 because anti-CD43 antibody inhibited recognition. CD43 on apoptotic Jurkat cells was found to form a cap at 2 h, and the cap disappeared at 4 h. This transient capping of CD43 coincided with the transient increase in the susceptibility of the cells to macrophage recognition, suggesting that CD43 capping is responsible for generation of the carbohydrate ligands for recognition. Furthermore, microscopic observation suggested that the apoptotic cells were recognized at the CD43 cap. Taken together, we conclude that apoptotic Jurkat cells transiently undergo CD43 capping at an early stage of apoptosis and are recognized by macrophages through the cluster of sialylpolylactosaminyl chains of the capped CD43.

Abstract
Clustering of band-3 on red blood cell (RBC) surface has been assumed to catalyze RBC phagocytosis. In studying this subject, acridine orange (AO) has commonly been employed on the assumption that it specifically induces band-3 clustering. In the present study, we show that AO strongly induces translocation of phosphatidylserine (PS) to RBC surface. Because surface PS is well known to induce RBC intercellular interaction, these findings suggest that the use of AO as a specific inducer of band-3 clustering is questionable. It is possible that band-3 clustering and PS translocation are interdependent, and this interrelationship has yet to be explored.

Abstract
The human erythrocyte anion exchanger (band 3) contains a cytoplasmic domain (cdb3) that exists in a reversible, pH-dependent structural equilibrium among three native conformations. To understand how this conformational equilibrium might influence the association state of band 3, we have incubated stripped erythrocyte membranes in solutions ranging from pH 6.0 to pH 10.5 and have examined the oligomeric state of the protein by size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography. We demonstrate that incubation of membranes in slightly acidic conditions favors dimer formation, whereas extended incubation at higher pHs (pH>9) leads to irreversible formation of an oligomeric species larger than the tetramer. Since the pH dependence of the conformational state of the cytoplasmic domain exhibits a similar pH profile, we suggest that the conformation of the cytoplasmic domain can modulate the self-association of band 3. Importantly, this modulation would appear to require the structural interactions present within the intact protein, since the isolated membrane-spanning domain does not display any pH dependence of association. The irreversible nature of the alkali-induced aggregation further suggests that a secondary reaction subsequent to band 3 association is required to stabilize the high molecular weight aggregate. Although we were able to eliminate covalent bond formation in this irreversible aggregation process, the exact nature of the secondary reaction remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
Acidic and neutral sialidases (pH optimum 4.7 and 7.2, respectively) were assayed on human circulating erythrocytes during ageing. The assays were performed on intact erythrocytes and resealed erythrocyte ghost membranes. From young to senescent erythrocytes the acidic sialidase featured a 2.7-fold and 2.5-fold decrease in specific activity when measured on intact cells or resealed ghost membranes, whereas the neutral sialidase a 5-fold and 7-fold increase, respectively. The Ca2+-loading procedure was employed to mimic the vesiculation process occurring during erythrocyte ageing. Under these conditions the released vesicles displayed an elevated content of acidic sialidase, almost completely linked through a glycan phosphoinositide (GPI) anchor but no neutral sialidase activity, that was completely retained by remnant erythrocytes together with almost all the starting content of sialoglycoconjugates. The loss with vesiculation of acidic sialidase with a concomitant relative increase of neutral sialidase was more marked in young than senescent erythrocytes. The data presented suggest that during ageing erythrocytes loose acidic sialidase, and get enriched in the neutral enzyme, the vesiculation process, possibly involving GPI-anchors-rich membrane microdomains, being likely responsible for these changes. The enhanced neutral sialidase activity might account for the sialic acid loss occurring during erythrocyte ageing.

Abstract
Presence of lectin-like receptors on the membranes of human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 cells for clustered sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains on the membranes of oxidized erythrocytes and T-lympoid cells was investigated. Membranes of THP-1 cells differentiated into macrophages were solubilized, and the membrane proteins obtained by affinity chromatographies using lactoferrin-Sepharose and band 3-Sepharose were purified by successive DE column chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins of 50, 60, and 80 kDa with specificity to bind to sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains were detected in the chromatographic fractions. A 50-kDa protein was isolated in a pure form. N-Terminal amino acid sequence of the protein was Lys-Gln-Lys-Val-Ala-Gly-Lys-Gln-Pro-Val-, which has not been found in the N-terminal regions of the hitherto known proteins. The antibody, raised against the chemially synthesized peptide composed of the N-terminal amino acid sequence, bound to 50-, 60-, and 80-kDa proteins as analyzed by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation, indicating that these proteins had the same N-terminal amino acid sequence. The results demonstrate that THP-1 cells have novel 50-, 60-, and 80-kDa lectin-like proteins with the same N-terminal amino acid sequence on the cell surface which would bind to clustered sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains generated on oxidized erythrocytes and T-lymphoid cells.

Abstract
Mouse thioglycollate-induced peritoneal macrophages effectively, in the absence of serum, recognized mouse polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) mildly oxidized with diamide, superoxide (hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase) or t-butyhydroperoxide, or modified with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The recognition reached a maximum when PMNs were treated wtih each of the reagents at relatively low concentrations, and the recognition was decreased on treatment with reagents at higher concentrations. Glutathione depletion in the diamide-oxidized PMNs may cause enhanced adhesion to macrophages. Sialylated sugar chains attached to a peptide chain in glycophorin A and sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains in lactoferrin and band 3 glycoprotein effectively inhibited the increased adhesion of the diamide-oxidized PMNs. Enzymatic removal of sialyl residues and the degradation of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains by pretreatment of PMNs with neuraminidase or endo-beta-galactosidase, respectively, lost their increasing ability for macrophage adhesion after oxidation with diamide, superoxide or t-butylhydroperoxide. Clustered sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains on the cell surface may be involved in the increased adhesion of the oxidized PMNs to macrophages.

Abstract
Human T-lymphoid cell line Jurkat cells were mildly oxidized with diamide, hydrogen peroxide, or t-butyl-hydroperoxide. The recognition of Jurkat cells in the absence of serum by human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 differentiated into macrophages was enhanced by the oxidation with these reagents. The recognition was maximal when Jurkat cells were treated with each of the reagents at the relatively low concentrations, and the recognition was decreased on treatment with the reagents at the higher concentrations. The enhanced recognition of THP-1 macrophages to diamide-oxidized Jurkat cells was lowered when the binding was conducted in the presence of the oligosaccharides from band 3 glycoprotein and lactoferrin. The inhibitory effect of band 3 oligosaccharides was abolished by removal of the non-reducing-terminal sialyl residues or by cleavage of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains in the saccharides. Moreover, on enzymatic removal of the non-reducing-terminal sialyl residues or enzymatic cleavage of the poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains on the surface of Jurkat cells prior to oxidation, the cells were recognized poorly by THP-1 macrophages. Human naturally occuring antiband 3 IgG bound effectively to the hydrogen peroxide-oxidized Jurkat cells. This binding was abolished by the enzymatic cleavage of the poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains on the surface of the cells prior to oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. The results indicate that binding of THP-1 macrophages and antiband 3 IgG to Jurkat cells was increased by mild oxidation of Jurkat cells, and the bindings were through sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl sugar chains on Jurkat cell surface.

Abstract
Human T-lymphoid cell line Jurkat was treated with actinomycin D (ActD) and cycloheximide (CHX). The induction of apoptosis was confirmed by the chromatin condensation and DNA ladder fragmentation. Anti-band 3 IgG, purified from normal human plasma, bound to the ActD- or CHX-treated cells, and the binding was correlated to the degree of apoptosis. Antioxidants, N-acetylcysteine, pilloridine dithiocarbamate, and trolox, inhibited neither induction of DNA fragmentation of ActD-treated cells nor anti-band 3 IgG binding to ActD-treated cells, indicating that formation of the anti-band 3 IgG binding sites on the apoptotic cell surface is caused by nonoxidative mechanism. When Jurkat cells were treated with endo-beta-galactosidase to cleave sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl saccharide chains from the cell surface before induction of apoptosis, the binding of anti-band 3 IgG was abolished. The results indicate that sialylated poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl saccharide chains on the cell surface are requisite for the binding of anti-band 3 IgG to apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Recent immunological studies demonstrated that proteins in vivo in several diseases are subjected to post-translational modification by advanced glycation end products (AGEs), suggesting a potential role of AGEs in aging and age-enhanced disease processes such as diabetic complications, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Nvarepsilon-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) is one of the major AGE-structures demonstrated in vivo so far. In the present study, membrane proteins from young erythrocyte population were compared with those from senescent erythrocytes separated from the same individual in their CML-contents using a monoclonal antibody for CML (6D12). SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and subsequent Western blot showed that 6D12 bound to the band 1, 2, 3, 4.2, 5, 6 and 7 proteins from senescent erythrocytes, but not to those from young erythrocytes. Furthermore, quantitative estimation of the reactivity of 6D12 to these erythrocyte membranes by ELISA showed that the reactivity of 6D12 to senescent erythrocyte membranes was 3- to 6-fold higher than that of young erythrocyte membranes. These results indicate that membrane proteins of circulating erythrocytes undergo CML-modification, and the modified proteins accumulated in an age-dependent manner during the life span of erythrocytes.

Abstract
One hypothesis to explain the age-dependent clearance of red blood cells (RBCs) from circulation proposes that denatured/oxidized hemoglobin (hemichromes) arising late during an RBC’s life span induces clustering of the integral membrane protein, band 3. In turn, band 3 clustering generates an epitope on the senescent cell surface leading to autologous IgG binding and consequent phagocytosis. Because dog RBCs have survival characteristics that closely resemble those of human RBCs (ie, low random RBC loss, ≈115-day life span), we decided to test several aspects of the above hypothesis in the canine model, where in vivo aged cells of defined age could be evaluated for biochemical changes. For this purpose, dog RBCs were biotinylated in vivo and retrieved for biochemical analysis at various later dates using avidin-coated magnetic beads. Consistent with the above hypothesis, senescent dog RBCs were found to contain measurably elevated membrane-bound (denatured) globin and a sevenfold enhancement of surface-associated autologous IgG. Interestingly, dog RBCs that were allowed to senesce for 115 days in vivo also suffered from compromised intracellular reducing power, containing only 30% of the reduced glutathione found in unfractionated cells. Although the small quantity of cells of age ≥110 days did not allow direct quantitation of band 3 clustering, it was nevertheless possible to exploit single-cell microdeformation methods to evaluate the fraction of band 3 molecules that had lost their normal skeletal linkages and were free to cluster in response to hemichrome binding. Importantly, band 3 in RBCs ≥112 days old was found to be 25% less restrained by skeletal interactions than band 3 in control cells, indicating that the normal linkages between band 3 and the membrane skeleton had been substantially disrupted. Interestingly, the protein 4.1a/protein 4.1b ratio, commonly assumed to reflect RBC age, was found to be maximal in RBCs isolated only 58 days after labeling, implying that while this marker is useful for identifying very young populations of RBCs, it is not a very sensitive marker for canine senescent RBCs. Taken together, these data argue that several of the readily testable elements of the above hypothesis implicating band 3 in human RBC senescence can be validated in an appropriate canine model.

Abstract
The membrane-spanning protein, band 3, anchors the spectrin-based membrane skeleton to the lipid bilayer via the bridging protein, ankyrin. To understand how band 3 subunit stoichiometry influences this membrane-skeletal junction, we have induced changes in the band 3 association equilibrium and assayed the kinetics and equilibrium properties of ankyrin binding. We observe that band 3 oligomers convert slowly to dimers and ultimately monomers following removal of ankyrin. Addition of excess ankyrin back to these membranes enriched in dissociated band 3 then shifts band 3 almost entirely to tetramers, confirming that the tetrameric form of band 3 constitutes the preferred oligomeric state of ankyrin binding. 4, 4'-Diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) labeling of band 3, which is shown to shift most of the band 3 population to dimers, eliminates the majority of ankyrin-binding sites on the membrane and greatly reduces retention of band 3 in detergent-extracted membrane skeletons. Furthermore, DIDS- modified membranes lack all low affinity ankyrin-binding sites and roughly half of all high affinity sites. Since labeled membranes lack the rapid kinetic phase of ankyrin binding and exhibit only half of the normal amplitude of the slow kinetic phase, it can be concluded that the rapid phase of ankyrin association involves low affinity sites and the slow phase involves high affinity sites. A model accounting for these data and most previous data on ankyrin-band 3 interactions is provided.

Abstract
Human erythrocytes in the circulation undergo dynamic oxidative damage involving membrane lipid peroxidation and protein aggregation during aging. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of n-3 fatty acid supplementation on lipid peroxidation and protein aggregation in the circulation and also the in vitro susceptibility of rat erythrocyte membranes to oxidative damage. Wistar male rats were fed a diet containing n-6 fatty acid-rich safflower oil or n-3 fatty acid-rich fish oil with an equal amount of vitamin E for 6 wk. n-3 Fatty acid content in erythrocyte membranes of rats fed fish oil was significantly higher than that of rats fed safflower oil. The degree of membrane lipid peroxidation and protein aggregation of rats fed fish oil was not significantly higher than that of rats fed safflower oil when the amounts of phospholipid hydroperoxides, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, and detergent-insoluble protein aggregates were measured. When isolated erythrocytes were oxidized under aerobic conditions in the presence of Fe(III), the degree of membrane lipid peroxidation of erythrocytes from rats fed fish oil was increased to a greater extent than that of rats fed safflower oil, whereas the degree of membrane protein aggregation of both groups was increased in a similar extent. Hence, n-3 fatty acid supplementation did not affect lipid peroxidation and protein aggregation in membranes of circulating rat erythrocytes, and the supplementation increased the susceptibility of isolated erythrocytes to lipid peroxidation, but not to protein aggregation, under the aerobic conditions. If a sufficient amount of vitamin E is supplied, n-3 fatty acid supplementation may give no undesirable oxidative effects on rat erythrocytes in the circulation.

Abstract
Human erythrocytes incubated with an iron catalyst ADP-chelated Fe3+ undergo oxidative damage of the membrane including lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and protein aggregation, and become susceptible to recognition by human macrophages. In order to clarify the membrane components of macrophages responsible for the recognition of the oxidized erythrocytes, binding of the oxidized cells to dot and Western blots of solubilized membrane of macrophages was investigated. The oxidized erythrocytes but not unoxidized cells bound to the dot blots. The binding was effectively inhibited by saccharide chains of band 3, a major glycoprotein of human erythrocytes, and lowered when the saccharide chains of band 3 were removed from the cell surface by pretreatment of the cells with endo-beta-galactosidase which specifically cleaves the polylactosaminyl saccharide chains of band 3. The oxidized erythrocytes bound to the membrane proteins of macrophages with molecular mass of about 50, 80, and 120 kDa on Western blots depending on the saccharide chains of band 3 on their surface. The results suggest that the oxidatively damaged erythrocytes are specifically recognized by these proteins of macrophage membrane having saccharide binding ability.
