Tkachenko A. Hemocompatibility studies in nanotoxicology: Hemolysis or eryptosis? (A review). Toxicol In Vitro 2024; 98:105814. [PMID: 38582230 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2024.105814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Hemocompatibility evaluation is an important step in nanotoxicological studies. It is generally accepted that nanomaterials promote lysis of erythrocytes, blood clotting, alter phagocytosis, and upregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, there are no standardized guidelines for testing nanomaterials hemocompatibility despite the fact that nanomaterials enter the bloodstream and interact with blood cells. In this review, the current knowledge on the ability of nanomaterials to induce distinct cell death modalities of erythrocytes is highlighted primarily focusing on hemolysis and eryptosis. This review aims to summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying erythrotoxicity of nanomaterials and critically compare the sensitivity and efficiency of hemolysis or eryptosis assays for nanomaterials blood compatibility testing. The list of eryptosis-inducing nanomaterials is growing, but it is still difficult to generalize how physico-chemical properties of nanoparticles affect eryptosis degree and molecular mechanisms involved. Thus, another aim of this review is to raise the awareness of eryptosis as a nanotoxicological tool to encourage the corresponding studies. It is worthwhile to consider adding eryptosis to in vitro nanomaterials hemocompatibility testing protocols and guidelines.

[PMID: 36976991 PMCID: PMC10053536 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11030226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Amantadine exposure can alter biological processes in sea cucumbers, which are an economically important seafood in China. In this study, amantadine toxicity in Apostichopus japonicus was analyzed by oxidative stress and histopathological methods. Quantitative tandem mass tag labeling was used to examine changes in protein contents and metabolic pathways in A. japonicus intestinal tissues after exposure to 100 µg/L amantadine for 96 h. Catalase activity significantly increased from days 1 to 3 of exposure, but it decreased on day 4. Superoxide dismutase and glutathione activities were inhibited throughout the exposure period. Malondialdehyde contents increased on days 1 and 4 but decreased on days 2 and 3. Proteomics analysis revealed 111 differentially expressed proteins in the intestines of A. japonicus after amantadine exposure compared with the control group. An analysis of the involved metabolic pathways showed that the glycolytic and glycogenic pathways may have increased energy production and conversion in A. japonicus after amantadine exposure. The NF-κB, TNF, and IL-17 pathways were likely induced by amantadine exposure, thereby activating NF-κB and triggering intestinal inflammation and apoptosis. Amino acid metabolism analysis showed that the leucine and isoleucine degradation pathways and the phenylalanine metabolic pathway inhibited protein synthesis and growth in A. japonicus. This study investigated the regulatory response mechanisms in A. japonicus intestinal tissues after exposure to amantadine, providing a theoretical basis for further research on amantadine toxicity.

Chem Biol Interact 2020; 332:109305. [PMID: 33130048 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2020.109305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Erythrocytes (RBCs) represent the main cell component in circulation and recently have become a topic of intensive scientific interest. The relevance of erythrocytes as a model for cytotoxicity screening of xenobiotics is under the spotlight of this review. Erythrocytes constitute a fundamental cellular model to study potential interactions with blood components of manifold novel polymer or biomaterials. Morphological changes, subsequent disruption of RBC membrane integrity, and hemolysis could be used to determine the cytotoxicity of various compounds. Erythrocytes undergo a programmed death (eryptosis) which could serve as a good model for evaluating certain mechanisms which correspond to apoptosis taking place in nucleated cells. Importantly, erythrocytes can be successfully used as a valuable cellular model in examination of oxidative stress generated by certain diseases or multiple xenobiotics since red cells are subjected to permanent oxidative stress. Additionally, the antioxidant capacity of erythrocytes, and the activity of anti-oxidative enzymes could reflect reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating properties of various substances and allow to determine their effects on tissues. The last part of this review presents the latest findings on the possible application of RBCs as drug delivery systems (DDS). In conclusion, all these findings make erythrocytes highly valuable cells for in vitro biocompatibility assessment, cytotoxicity screening of a wide variety of substances as well as drug delivery.

Fabrication and evaluation of a label-free piezoelectric immunosensor for sensitive and selective detection of amantadine in foods of animal origin. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:5745-5753. [PMID: 31243479 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-019-01954-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2019] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
A label-free piezoelectric immunosensor was fabricated and applied to the detection of the antiviral drug amantadine (AM) in foods of animal origin. Experimental parameters associated with the fabrication and measurement process were optimized and are discussed here in detail. The proposed piezoelectric sensor is based on an immunosuppression format and uses a portable quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) chip. It was found to provide a good response to AM, with a sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) of 33.9 and 1.3 ng mL-1, respectively, as well as low cross-reactivity (CR, < 0.01%) with AM analogues. The immunosensor was further applied to quantify AM at three levels in spiked samples of typical foods of animal origin, and yielded recoveries of 83.2-93.4% and standard deviations (SDs, n = 3) of 2.4-4.5%, which are comparable to the results (recoveries: 82.6-94.3%; SDs: 1.7-4.2%) obtained using a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method. Furthermore, the piezoelectric immunosensing chip can be regenerated multiple (at least 20) times with low signal attenuation (about 10%). A sample analysis can be completed within 50 min (sample pretreatment: about 40 min, QCM measurement: 5 min). These results demonstrate that the developed piezoelectric immunosensor provides a sensitive, accurate, portable, and low-cost analytical strategy for the antiviral drug AM in foods of animal origin, and this label-free detection method could also be applied to analyze other targets in the field of food safety.

Abstract
Since the successful conquest of many acute, communicable (infectious) diseases through the use of vaccines and antibiotics, the currently most prevalent diseases are chronic and progressive in nature, and are all accompanied by inflammation. These diseases include neurodegenerative (e.g. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's), vascular (e.g. atherosclerosis, pre-eclampsia, type 2 diabetes) and autoimmune (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis) diseases that may appear to have little in common. In fact they all share significant features, in particular chronic inflammation and its attendant inflammatory cytokines. Such effects do not happen without underlying and initially 'external' causes, and it is of interest to seek these causes. Taking a systems approach, we argue that these causes include (i) stress-induced iron dysregulation, and (ii) its ability to awaken dormant, non-replicating microbes with which the host has become infected. Other external causes may be dietary. Such microbes are capable of shedding small, but functionally significant amounts of highly inflammagenic molecules such as lipopolysaccharide and lipoteichoic acid. Sequelae include significant coagulopathies, not least the recently discovered amyloidogenic clotting of blood, leading to cell death and the release of further inflammagens. The extensive evidence discussed here implies, as was found with ulcers, that almost all chronic, infectious diseases do in fact harbour a microbial component. What differs is simply the microbes and the anatomical location from and at which they exert damage. This analysis offers novel avenues for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
L-DOPA induced dyskinesias (LIDs) may affect up to 40% of Parkinson's disease (PD) and impact negatively health-related quality of life. Amantadine has demonstrated significant antidyskinetic effects in animal PD models and in randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) in patients with PD. These effects are thought to be related to the blockade of NMDA receptors modulating cortico-striatal glutamatergic-dopaminergic interactions involved in the genesis of LIDs. There are three pharmaceutical forms of amantadine currently available in the market: an oral immediate-release (IR) formulation, which is widely available; an extended-release (ER) formulation (ADS-5102) which has been recently developed and approved by the FDA; and an intravenous infusion (IV) solution, which is not commonly used in clinical practice. RCTs with amantadine IR or ER, involving more than 650 patients have shown consistent and long-lasting reductions in LIDs. Interestingly, ADS-5102 not only reduced LIDs, but also reduced significantly at the same time the duration of daily OFF-time, a unique finding compared with other antiparkinsonian medications that usually reduce time spent OFF at the cost of worsening of LIDs. Amantadine IR might also have possible effects on other PD symptoms such as apathy or fatigue. The most common adverse reactions with amantadine are constipation, cardiovascular dysfunction including QT prolongation, orthostatic hypotension and edema, neuropsychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations, confusion and delirium, nausea and livedo reticularis. Corneal degeneration is rare but critical. In summary, amantadine immediate and extended-release are effective and safe for the treatment of LIDs.

Abstract
Erythrocytes play an important role in oxygen and carbon dioxide transport. Although erythrocytes possess no nucleus or mitochondria, they fulfil several metabolic activities namely, the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, as well as the hexose monophosphate shunt. Metabolic processes within the erythrocyte contribute to the morphology/shape of the cell and important constituents are being kept in an active, reduced form. Erythrocytes undergo a form of suicidal cell death called eryptosis. Eryptosis results from a wide variety of contributors including hyperosmolarity, oxidative stress, and exposure to xenobiotics. Eryptosis occurs before the erythrocyte has had a chance to be naturally removed from the circulation after its 120-day lifespan and is characterised by the presence of membrane blebbing, cell shrinkage, and phosphatidylserine exposure that correspond to nucleated cell apoptotic characteristics. After eryptosis is triggered there is an increase in cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) ion levels. This increase causes activation of Ca2+-sensitive potassium (K+) channels which leads to a decrease in intracellular potassium chloride (KCl) and shrinkage of the erythrocyte. Ceramide, produced by sphingomyelinase from the cell membrane's sphingomyelin, contributes to the occurrence of eryptosis. Eryptosis ensures healthy erythrocyte quantity in circulation whereas excessive eryptosis may set an environment for the clinical presence of pathophysiological conditions including anaemia.

Abstract
In the present work, a new amantadine (AM) imprinted quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor sensitized by Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) material was fabricated by electrodeposition in the presence of o-aminothiophenol (o-AT) by cyclic voltammetry scanning. AuNPs and graphene, with the advantages of great chemical stability, electrical conductivity, and large surface area, show exceptionally high sensitivity. The results of different modifications of the QCM sensor fabrication process were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the frequency shift of the MIP-QCM sensor showed a linear relationship with the concentration of the AM template in the range of 1.0 × 10−5 to 1.0 × 10−3 mmol L−1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.40 × 10−6 mmol L−1. The imprinting factor for AM reached 7.1, the selectivity coefficient for the analogues rimantadine (RT), adamantine (AMT) and 1-chloroadamantane (CMT) were 7.3, 5.6, and 6.1, respectively. Here, a highly sensitive, selective and stable QCM sensor prepared via the imprinting approach is reported for the first time for detection of AM from animal-derived food samples. In the present work, a new amantadine imprinted quartz crystal microbalance sensor sensitized by Au nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide material was fabricated by electrodeposition of o-aminothiophenol by cyclic voltammetry scanning.![]()

Abstract
Disrupted iron metabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that severely affects movement and coordination, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this association remain unknown. To this end, we performed a transcriptomic meta-analysis of four blood microarrays in PD. We observed a significant downregulation of genes related to hemoglobin including, hemoglobin delta (HBD), alpha hemoglobin stabilizing protein (ASHP), genes implicated in iron metabolism including, solute carrier family 11 member 2 (SLC11A2), ferrochelatase (FECH), and erythrocyte-specific genes including erythrocyte membrane protein (EPB42), and 5′-aminolevulinate synthase 2 (ALAS2). Pathway and network analysis identified enrichment in processes related to mitochondrial membrane, oxygen transport, oxygen and heme binding, hemoglobin complex, erythrocyte development, tetrapyrrole metabolism and the spliceosome. Collectively, we identified a subnetwork of genes in blood that may provide a molecular explanation for the disrupted hemoglobin and iron metabolism in the pathogenesis of PD.

Abstract
Suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis is characterized by erythrocyte shrinkage, cell membrane blebbing, and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the erythrocyte surface. Triggers of eryptosis include Ca(2+) entry, ceramide formation, stimulation of caspases, calpain activation, energy depletion, oxidative stress, and dysregulation of several kinases. Eryptosis is triggered by a wide variety of xenobiotics. It is inhibited by several xenobiotics and endogenous molecules including NO and erythropoietin. The susceptibility of erythrocytes to eryptosis increases with erythrocyte age. Phosphatidylserine exposing erythrocytes adhere to the vascular wall by binding to endothelial CXC-Motiv-Chemokin-16/Scavenger-receptor for phosphatidylserine and oxidized low density lipoprotein (CXCL16). Phosphatidylserine exposing erythrocytes are further engulfed by phagocytosing cells and are thus rapidly cleared from circulating blood. Eryptosis eliminates infected or defective erythrocytes thus counteracting parasitemia in malaria and preventing detrimental hemolysis of defective cells. Excessive eryptosis, however, may lead to anemia and may interfere with microcirculation. Enhanced eryptosis contributes to the pathophysiology of several clinical disorders including metabolic syndrome and diabetes, malignancy, cardiac and renal insufficiency, hemolytic uremic syndrome, sepsis, mycoplasma infection, malaria, iron deficiency, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and Wilson's disease. Facilitating or inhibiting eryptosis may be a therapeutic option in those disorders.

Abstract
A major trend in recent Parkinson's disease (PD) research is the investigation of biological markers that could help in identifying at-risk individuals or to track disease progression and response to therapies. Central to this is the knowledge that inflammation is a known hallmark of PD and of many other degenerative diseases. In the current work, we focus on inflammatory signalling in PD, using a systems approach that allows us to look at the disease in a more holistic way. We discuss cyclooxygenases, prostaglandins, thromboxanes and also iron in PD. These particular signalling molecules are involved in PD pathophysiology, but are also very important in an aberrant coagulation/hematology system. We present and discuss a hypothesis regarding the possible interaction of these aberrant signalling molecules implicated in PD, and suggest that these molecules may affect the erythrocytes of PD patients. This would be observable as changes in the morphology of the RBCs and of PD patients relative to healthy controls. We then show that the RBCs of PD patients are indeed rather dramatically deranged in their morphology, exhibiting eryptosis (a kind of programmed cell death). This morphological indicator may have useful diagnostic and prognostic significance.

Abstract
α-lipoic acid, a nutrient with both, antioxidant and oxidant activity induces apoptosis in a variety of cells. Owing to its proapoptotic potency α-lipoic acid has been suggested for the therapy of cancer. α-Lipoic acid stimulates apoptosis by induction of oxidative stress and subsequent activation of caspases. Oxidative stress could similarly trigger caspase activation and suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, which is characterized by cell membrane scrambling and cell shrinkage. Eryptosis is triggered by increase of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and/or ceramide formation. The present study explored whether α -lipoic acid influences eryptosis. Cell membrane scrambling was estimated from binding of annexin V to phosphatidylserine at the erythrocyte surface, cell volume from forward scatter in FACS analysis, cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration from Fluo3 fluorescence, caspase activation and ceramide formation utilizing respective antibodies, cytosolic ATP concentration from a luciferase-assay. Within 48 hours, exposure to α-lipoic acid (10 - 75 mM) significantly decreased forward scatter, increased cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration, decreased ATP concentration, activated caspase 3, stimulated formation of ceramide and triggered annexin V-binding. Glucose depletion (48 h) was followed by decrease of forward scatter and increase of annexin V-binding, effects significantly augmented in the presence of α-lipoic acid (20 mM). Oxidative stress (30 min 0.3 mM tert-butylhydroperoxide) similarly triggered annexin binding, an effect slightly but significantly blunted by α-lipoic acid. In conclusion, α-lipoic acid triggers eryptosis but by the same token counteracts eryptosis during oxidative stress. α-lipoic acid sensitive eryptosis may lead to anemia and derangements of microcirculation.

Abstract
Phytic acid, an anticarcinogenic food component, stimulates apoptosis of tumor cells. Similar to apoptosis, human erythrocytes may undergo suicidal death or eryptosis, characterized by cell membrane scrambling and cell shrinkage. Triggers of eryptosis include energy depletion. Phytate intake could cause anemia, an effect attributed to iron complexation. The present experiments explored whether phytic acid influences eryptosis. Supernatant hemoglobin concentration was determined to reveal hemolysis, annexin V-binding in FACS analysis was utilized to identify erythrocytes with scrambled cell membrane, forward scatter in FACS analysis was taken as a measure of cell volume, and a luciferin-luciferase assay was employed to determine erythrocyte ATP content. As a result, phytic acid (>or=1 mM) did not lead to significant hemolysis, but significantly increased the percentage of annexin V-binding erythrocytes, significantly decreased forward scatter, and significantly decreased cellular ATP content. In conclusion, phytic acid stimulates suicidal human erythrocyte death, an effect paralleling its proapoptotic effect on nucleated cells.

Abstract
Owing to its antibiotic activity, silver is used for water purification, wound care and a wide variety of implants. Silver metal and silver compounds ionize in solution, and silver ions interfere with the function of a wide variety of proteins. In mammalian cells, silver ions may trigger apoptosis by stimulation of cytochrome c release from mitochondria. The present study explored the effect of AgNO3 on eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes, cells devoid of mitochondria. Similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells, eryptosis is characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface. Eryptosis is triggered by energy depletion, cellular depletion of nitric oxide (NO) and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Phosphatidylserine exposure was determined by annexin V-binding, cell volume by forward scatter, cellular ATP by a luciferin-luciferase assay kit, and hemolysis by photometry. A 48 h exposure to AgNO3 (> or =100 nm) but not to NaNO3 significantly enhanced the percentage of annexin V-binding cells, slightly but significantly decreased forward scatter and significantly decreased cytosolic ATP. Furthermore, inhibition of PKC by staurosporine and donation of NO by sodium nitroprusside significantly blunted silver-induced eryptosis. In conclusion, AgNO3 triggers cell membrane scrambling, an effect attributed to ATP depletion, PKC activation and decrease of cellular NO.

Abstract
Malaria is an important public health problem worldwide, representing also an obstacle for the development of the countries, mainly in the African continent. Since no effective vaccine has been developed yet, early diagnosis and prompt treatment are the main strategy to control malaria transmission. Many of the drugs used for malaria treatment have the ability to induce apoptosis in different cell types. In addition, apoptosis has also been identified in enucleated cells. The present work is aimed, therefore, to evaluate the pro-apoptotic aptness of chloroquine, quinine, artemisinin and mefloquine on mature erythrocytes by flow cytometry through the detection of cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface-hallmarks of apoptosis. Although we observed that known apoptosis inducer, such as ionomycin, had led to erythrocyte apoptosis, we were not able to detect any pro-apoptotic effect of the studied antimalarial drugs on these cells. We conclude that chloroquine, quinine, artemisinin and mefloquine may not be able to induce apoptosis in erythrocytes and, therefore, do not seem to contribute to malaria associated erythrocyte destruction and anemia.

Abstract
Vitamin K(3) is an essential micronutrient required for the activation of coagulation factors and thus hemostasis. Administration of vitamin K(3) analogues may cause anemia, which at least in theory could be due to stimulation of suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis characterized by cell shrinkage and phospholipid scrambling of the erythrocyte cell membrane leading to exposure of phosphatidylserine at the erythrocyte surface. Eryptosis is triggered by an increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) activity, by ceramide and by energy depletion (decrease of cytosolic ATP). The present experiments explored, whether vitamin K(3) may influence eryptosis. Hemolysis was estimated from the supernatant hemoglobin concentration, phosphatidylserine-exposing erythrocytes from annexin V-binding in fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis, erythrocyte volume from forward scatter in FACS analysis, ceramide formation from binding of fluorescent antibodies, and erythrocyte ATP content from a luciferin-luciferase assay. As a result, vitamin K(3) (> or =1microM) caused lysis of an only small fraction of erythrocytes, but significantly increased ceramide formation, significantly increased the percentage of annexin V-binding erythrocytes, significantly decreased forward scatter and, at higher concentrations, significantly decreased the cellular ATP content. In conclusion, vitamin K(3) stimulates suicidal erythrocyte death, an effect at least partially due to ceramide formation and ATP depletion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to in vitro observations, gadolinium-containing magnetic resonance (MRT) contrast agents stimulate suicidal cell death or apoptosis. Similar to nucleated cells, erythrocytes may undergo suicidal death or eryptosis, characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure at the erythrocyte surface. Eryptosis is triggered by increased cytosolic Ca2+-activity. This study explored whether gadolinium-containing MRT contrast agents stimulate eryptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Annexin V-binding reflecting PS exposure and forward scatter reflecting cell volume were determined in erythrocytes within freshly drawn blood from patients (8female symbol, 3male symbol, 29-72 years) prior to and 10 min after administration of gadoterate meglumine (0.1 mmol kg(-1) b.w. Dotarem; six patients) or gadobenate dimeglumine (0.05 mmol kg(-1) bw Multi Hance; five patients). In a separate series, eryptosis was determined prior to and following in vitro incubation of erythrocytes from 16 blood donors for 4 h with gadoterate meglumine (5 mM Dotarem) or gadobenate dimeglumine (5 mM Multi Hance). Finally, eryptosis and Fluo3 fluorescence reflecting cytosolic Ca2+ were determined in vitro following exposure to Gd3+. Data were analysed using paired t-test or anova with Tukey's test as post-test. RESULTS The MRT contrast agents such as gadoterate meglumine (Dotarem) and gadobenate dimeglumine (Multi Hance) significantly increased the percentage of eryptotic cells. Moreover, in vitro exposure to gadoterate meglumine (5 mM), gadobenate dimeglumine (5 mM) or Gd3+ (1.9 microM) stimulated eryptosis in vitro. The effect of Gd3+ was paralleled by increase in cytosolic Ca2+-activity. CONCLUSIONS MRT contrast agents may stimulate suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
AIMS Pleiotropic effects of resveratrol include antioxidant activity and inhibition of cyclooxygenase with decrease of PGE(2) formation. In erythrocytes oxidation and PGE(2) activate Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels. The Ca(2+)-entry leads to activation of Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) channels with subsequent cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine exposure at the erythrocyte surface. Cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine exposure are hallmarks of suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis. Eryptotic cells adhere to the vascular wall thus compromising microcirculation and are cleared from circulating blood thus leading to anemia. The present experiments explored whether resveratrol influences eryptosis. MAIN METHODS Erythrocyte phosphatidylserine exposure was identified by annexin V-binding, cell volume estimated from forward scatter and cytosolic Ca(2+) activity determined utilizing Fluo3 fluorescence in FACS analysis. KEY FINDINGS Energy depletion (48 h glucose removal) significantly increased Fluo3 fluorescence and annexin V-binding and decreased forward scatter, effects significantly blunted by resveratrol (>/=5 microM). Moreover, oxidative stress (30 min 0.3 mM tert-butylhydroperoxide) and isoosmotic cell shrinkage (48 h replacement of extracellular chloride by gluconate) similarly triggered eryptosis, effects again significantly blunted in the presence of resveratrol. SIGNIFICANCE Resveratrol is a potent inhibitor of suicidal erythrocyte death during energy depletion, oxidative stress and isoosmotic cell shrinkage. The nutrient could thus counteract anemia and impairment of microcirculation under conditions with excessive eryptosis.

Abstract
Thymoquinone is a nutrient with anticarcinogenic activity by stimulating suicidal death of tumor cells. Similar to nucleated cells, erythrocytes may experience suicidal death or eryptosis, characterized by exposure of phosphatidylserine at the erythrocyte surface and by cell shrinkage. Triggers and signaling of eryptosis include increase in cytosolic Ca(2+)activity, ceramide formation, and stimulation of protein kinase C. The present experiments explored, whether thymoquinone influences eryptosis. According to annexin V-binding, thymoquinone (3 microM) increased the percentage of phosphatidylserine-exposing erythrocytes. According to forward scatter in FACS analysis, thymoquinone (10 microM) led to cell shrinkage. The effect of thymoquinone was not paralleled by appreciable ceramide formation (immunofluorescent antibody) or hemolysis (hemoglobin release). It was not significantly blunted in the nominal absence of extracellular Ca(2+) but was inhibited by staurosporine (500 nM). In conclusion, thymoquinone triggers suicidal erythrocyte death, an effect paralleling the apoptotic effect on nucleated cells.

Abstract
Suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis is characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure at the erythrocyte surface. Triggers of eryptosis include increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) activity, formation of ceramide and energy depletion. Excessive eryptosis contributes to several anemic conditions. Intoxication with inorganic tin(II) may lead to anemia. The present study therefore explored whether tin influences eryptosis. To this end, erythrocytic phosphatidylserine exposure was estimated from annexin V-binding, cell volume from forward scatter, cytosolic Ca(2+) activity from Fluo3 fluorescence, ceramide formation from binding of fluorescent antibodies and cytosolic ATP utilizing a luciferin-luciferase assay kit. Under control conditions, eryptosis was observed in less than 5% of the erythrocytes. Exposure to tin (1-100 microm) significantly increased the percentage of PS-exposing erythrocytes and decreased cell volume. The effect was paralleled by an increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration, ceramide formation and a decrease of intracellular ATP concentration. In conclusion, tin triggers eryptosis, an effect at least partially due to Ca(2+ )entry, ceramide formation and ATP depletion. The effect could contribute to tin-induced anemia.

Abstract
Several diseases, such as malaria, sickle cell disease, and ischemia/reperfusion may cause excessive formation of hemin, which may in turn trigger hemolysis. A variety of drugs and diseases leading to hemolysis triggers suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, i.e., cell membrane scrambling and cell shrinkage. Eryptosis is elicited by increased cytosolic Ca(2+) activity and by ceramide. The present study explored whether hemin stimulates eryptosis. Cell membrane scrambling was estimated from annexin V-binding to phosphatidylserine exposed at the cell surface, cell shrinkage from forward scatter in fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis, cytosolic Ca(2+) activity from Fluo3 fluorescence and ceramide formation from fluorescence-labeled antibody binding. Exposure to hemin (1-10 microM) within 48 h significantly increased annexin V-binding, decreased forward scatter, increased cytosolic Ca(2+) activity, and stimulated ceramide formation. In conclusion, hemin stimulates suicidal cell death, which may in turn contribute to the clearance of circulating erythrocytes and thus to anemia.

Abstract
Eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes, is characterised by cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing and cell membrane phospholipid scrambling with phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface. Phosphatidylserine-exposing erythrocytes are recognised by macrophages, which engulf and degrade the affected cells. Reported triggers of eryptosis include osmotic shock, oxidative stress, energy depletion, ceramide, prostaglandin E(2), platelet activating factor, hemolysin, listeriolysin, paclitaxel, chlorpromazine, cyclosporine, methylglyoxal, amyloid peptides, anandamide, Bay-5884, curcumin, valinomycin, aluminium, mercury, lead and copper. Diseases associated with accelerated eryptosis include sepsis, malaria, sickle-cell anemia, beta-thalassemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficiency, phosphate depletion, iron deficiency, hemolytic uremic syndrome and Wilsons disease. Eryptosis may be inhibited by erythropoietin, adenosine, catecholamines, nitric oxide (NO) and activation of G-kinase. Most triggers of eryptosis except oxidative stress are effective without activation of caspases. Their signalling involves formation of prostaglandin E(2) with subsequent activation of cation channels and Ca2+ entry and/or release of platelet activating factor (PAF) with subsequent activation of sphingomyelinase and formation of ceramide. Ca2+ and ceramide stimulate scrambling of the cell membrane. Ca2+ further activates Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels leading to cellular KCl loss and cell shrinkage and stimulates the protease calpain resulting in degradation of the cytoskeleton. Eryptosis allows defective erythrocytes to escape hemolysis. On the other hand, excessive eryptosis favours the development of anemia. Thus, a delicate balance between proeryptotic and antieryptotic mechanisms is required to maintain an adequate number of circulating erythrocytes and yet avoid noneryptotic death of injured erythrocytes.

Abstract
Bismuth is used for multiple industrial purposes and in the treatment of several gastrointestinal diseases. Untoward effects of bismuth include anemia, which could, in theory, result from suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis. Hallmarks of eryptosis are cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface. Phosphatidylserine-exposing cells are rapidly cleared from circulating blood. Signaling leading to eryptosis includes increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) activity and formation of ceramide. The present experiments explored whether bismuth elicits eryptosis. To this end, phosphatidylserine exposure was estimated from annexin V-binding, cell shrinkage from decrease of forward scatter in FACS analysis, cytosolic Ca(2+) activity from Fluo3 fluorescence and ceramide abundance from binding of fluorescent antibodies. A 48 h exposure to bismuth (> or =500 microg/l BiCl(3)) enhanced the percentage of annexin V-binding cells and decreased forward scatter, increased cytosolic Ca(2+) activity, and stimulated ceramide formation. In conclusion, bismuth stimulates eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes. The effect may contribute to or even account for the development of anemia during bismuth treatment. Moreover, ceramide formation in intestinal cells may participate in the therapeutic efficacy of bismuth preparations.

Abstract
Zidovudine, a drug widely used in the treatment of AIDS, has been shown to influence cytosolic calcium activity in HIV-infected lymphocytes. Thus, zidovudine may modify the activity of Ca(2+)-permeable ion channels. In erythrocytes, activation of Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels stimulates eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death. Eryptosis is characterized by cell shrinkage (apparent from a decrease of forward scatter) and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure (apparent from annexin V-binding) at the erythrocyte surface. Triggers of eryptosis include isotonic cell shrinkage (Cl(-) replacement by gluconate), energy depletion (removal of glucose) or exposure to a variety of drugs including azathioprine. The present study explored, whether zidovudine influences the activity of erythrocytic Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels and eryptosis. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings indeed revealed that zidovudine blocked the Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels activated by Cl(-) removal. In the presence of Cl(-) and glucose, the percentage of annexin V-binding cells was low and not significantly modified by the presence of zidovudine. Both, Cl(-) removal and glucose depletion increased annexin V-binding and decreased forward scatter, effects significantly blunted by zidovudine (2 microg/ml). According to Fluo3 fluorescence, zidovudine (2 microg/ml) did not significantly modify cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration under control conditions, but significantly blunted the increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) activity following glucose depletion. Furthermore, zidovudine significantly inhibited azathioprine-induced eryptosis. The present observations disclose a completely novel effect of zidovudine, i.e. its inhibitory influence on Ca(2+) entry and subsequent suicidal erythrocyte death during isotonic cell shrinkage or energy depletion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Azathioprine is widely used as an immunosuppressive drug. The side effects of azathioprine include anemia, which has been attributed to bone marrow suppression. Alternatively, anemia could result from accelerated suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, which is characterized by exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) at the erythrocyte surface and by cell shrinkage. METHODS The present experiments explored whether azathioprine influences eryptosis. According to annexin V binding, erythrocytes from patients indeed showed a significant increase of PS exposure within 1 week of treatment with azathioprine. In a second series, cytosolic Ca2+ activity (Fluo3 fluorescence), cell volume (forward scatter), and PS-exposure (annexin V binding) were determined by FACS analysis in erythrocytes from healthy volunteers. RESULTS Exposure to azathioprine (> or =2 microg/mL) for 48 hours increased cytosolic Ca2+ activity and annexin V binding and decreased forward scatter. The effect of azathioprine on both annexin V binding and forward scatter was significantly blunted in the nominal absence of extracellular Ca2+. CONCLUSIONS Azathioprine triggers suicidal erythrocyte death, an effect presumably contributing to azathioprine-induced anemia.

Abstract
Environmental exposure to arsenic has been associated with anemia, which could result from suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, characterized by cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine exposure at the erythrocyte surface. Eryptosis is triggered by increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, ceramide and energy depletion. The present experiments explored, whether arsenic stimulates eryptosis. According to annexin V-binding, arsenic trioxide (7 microM) within 48 h significantly increased phosphatidylserine exposure of human erythrocytes without inducing hemolysis. According to forward scatter, arsenic trioxide (7 microM) significantly decreased cell volume. Moreover, Fluo3-fluorescence showed that arsenic (10 microM) significantly increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. According to binding of respective fluorescent antibodies, arsenic trioxide (10 microM) significantly increased ceramide formation. Arsenic (10 microM) further lowered the intracellular ATP concentration. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ or inhibition of the Ca2+-permeable cation channels with amiloride blunted the effects of arsenic on annexin V-binding and cell shrinkage. In conclusion, arsenic triggers suicidal erythrocyte death by increasing cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, by stimulating the formation of ceramide and by decreasing ATP availability.

Suicidal erythrocyte death triggered by cisplatin. Toxicology 2008; 249:40-4. [PMID: 18499324 DOI: 10.1016/j.tox.2008.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2008] [Accepted: 04/03/2008] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Cisplatin, a cytotoxic drug for the treatment of cancer, induces suicidal death or apoptosis of nucleated cells. Side effects of cisplatin include anemia, which, at least in theory, could similarly result from suicidal cell death. Erythrocyte suicidal death or eryptosis is characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling, the latter leading to exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) at the cell surface. PS-exposing cells are rapidly cleared from circulating blood. The present experiments explored whether cisplatin could trigger eryptosis. According to forward scatter in FACS analysis, a 48 h exposure to cisplatin (> or =1 microM) indeed decreased cell volume and, according to annexin V-binding, cisplatin (> or =1 microM, 48 h) indeed increased PS exposure at the cell surface. Cisplatin did not induce hemolysis. According to Fluo3 fluorescence, cisplatin increased cytosolic Ca2+ activity, a known stimulator of eryptosis. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the effect of cisplatin on annexin V-binding was blunted. Cisplatin did not significantly modify the formation of ceramide, another stimulator of eryptosis. Cisplatin moderately decreased the cellular concentration of ATP, which is known to favour eryptosis. In conclusion, cisplatin triggers suicidal erythrocyte death at least partially by increasing cytosolic Ca2+ activity. The effect contributes to or even accounts for the development of anemia during cisplatin treatment.
