Abstract
Aim In the current study, hemocompatibility of three major commercially available types of carrageenans (ι, κ and λ) was investigated focusing on eryptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Carrageenans of ι-, κ- and λ-types were incubated with washed erythrocytes (hematocrit 0.4%) at 0-1-5-10 g/L for either 24 h or 48 h. Incubation was followed by flow cytometry-based quantitative analysis of eryptosis parameters, including cell volume, cell membrane scrambling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, lipid peroxidation markers and confocal microscopy-based evaluation of intracellular Ca2+ levels, assessment of lipid order in cell membranes and the glutathione antioxidant system. Confocal microscopy was used to assess carrageenan cellular internalization using rhodamine B isothiocyanate-conjugated carrageenans. RESULTS All three types of carrageenans were found to trigger eryptosis. Pro-eryptotic properties were type-dependent and λ-carrageenan had the strongest impact inducing phosphatidylserine membrane asymmetry, changes in cell volume, Ca2+ signaling and oxidative stress characterized by ROS overproduction, activation of lipid peroxidation and severe glutathione system depletion. Eryptosis induction by carrageenans does not require their uptake by erythrocytes. Changes in physicochemical properties of cell membrane were also type-dependent. No carrageenan-induced generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals was observed in cell-free milieu. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that ι-, κ- and λ-types trigger eryptosis in a type-dependent manner and indicate that carrageenans can be further investigated as potential eryptosis-regulating therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Introduction. Rare-earth orthovanadate nanoparticles (ReVO4:Eu3+, Re = Gd, Y or La) are promising agents for photodynamic therapy of cancer due to their modifiable redox properties. However, their toxicity limits their application.Objective. The aim of this research was to elucidate pro-eryptotic effects of GdVO4:Eu3+and LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles with identification of underlying mechanisms of eryptosis induction and to determine their pharmacological potential in eryptosis-related diseases.Methods. Blood samples (n= 9) were incubated for 24 h with 0-10-20-40-80 mg l-1GdVO4:Eu3+or LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles, washed and used to prepare erythrocyte suspensions to analyze the cell membrane scrambling (annexin-V-FITC staining), cell shrinkage (forward scatter signaling), reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) staining and intracellular Ca2+levels via FLUO4 AM staining by flow cytometry. Internalization of europium-enabled luminescent GdVO4:Eu3+and LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles was assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy.Results.Both nanoparticles triggered eryptosis at concentrations of 80 mg l-1. ROS-mediated mechanisms were not involved in rare-earth orthovanadate nanoparticles-induced eryptosis. Elevated cytosolic Ca2+concentrations were revealed even at subtoxic concentrations of nanoparticles. LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles increased intracellular calcium levels in a more pronounced way compared with GdVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles. Our data disclose that the small-sized (15 nm) GdVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles were internalized after a 24 h incubation, while the large-sized (∼30 nm) LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles were localized preferentially around erythrocytes.Conclusions.Both internalized GdVO4:Eu3+and non-internalized LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles (80 mg l-1) promote eryptosis of erythrocytes after a 24 h exposurein vitrovia Ca2+signaling without involvement of oxidative stress. Eryptosis is a promising model for assessing nanotoxicity.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-induced ligand (TRAIL) is a cytokine that initiates apoptosis upon binding to death receptor 5 (DR5) on cancer cells. Small molecule TRAIL mimetics have therefore been investigated as promising chemotherapeutic agents. Since anemia of chemotherapy is common, our goal is to investigate the hemolytic and eryptotic properties of novel DR5 agonist bioymifi (BMF) and identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. Whole blood (WB) was stimulated with 100 μM of BMF, whereas red blood cells (RBCs) were treated with 10-100 μM of BMF for 24 h at 37 °C. WB was analyzed for RBC, leukocyte, and platelet indices, while RBCs were examined for hemolysis by light absorbance of free hemoglobin, membrane scrambling by Annexin V-FITC, calcium by Fluo4/AM, cellular morphology by light scatter, and oxidative stress by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) using flow cytometry. Caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK, p38 inhibitor SB203580, casein kinase 1α inhibitor D4476, receptor-interacting protein 1 inhibitor necrostatin-2, reduced glutathione, or cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor aspirin were added accordingly. BMF exerted dose-responsive, calcium-independent hemolysis, reduced RBC hemoglobin, significantly increased Annexin V-, Fluo4-, and DCF-positive cells, along with a dual effect on forward and side light scatter. Notably, the cytotoxic potential of BMF was significantly mitigated upon pharmacological inhibition of p38. Furthermore, BMF exhibited selective toxicity to eosinophils and significantly diminished reticulocyte hemoglobin content. Altogether, these novel findings highlight the adverse outcomes of BMF exposure on RBC physiology and provide the first toxicological assessment of BMF as an antitumor agent.

Abstract
Background Angiotensin II regulates blood volume via AT1 (AT1R) and AT2 (AT2R) receptors. As cell integrity is an important feature of mature erythrocyte, we sought to evaluate, in vitro, whether angiotensin II modulates resistance to hemolysis and the signaling pathway involved. Methods Human blood samples were collected and hemolysis assay and angiotensin II signaling pathway profiling in erythrocytes were done. Results Hemolysis assay created a hemolysis curve in presence of Ang II in several concentrations (10-6 M, 10-8 M, 10-10 M, 10-12 M). Angiotensin II demonstrated protective effect, both in osmotic stressed and physiological situations, by reducing hemolysis in NaCl 0.4% and 0.9%. By adding receptors antagonists (losartan, AT1R antagonist and PD 123319, AT2R antagonist) and/or signaling modulators for AMPK, Akt/PI3K, p38 and PKC we showed the protective effect was enhanced with losartan and abolished with PD 123319. Also, we showed activation of p38 as well as PI3K/Akt pathways in this system. Conclusion Ang II protects human erythrocytes from hypo-osmotic conditions-induced hemolysis by activating AT2 receptors and triggering intracellular pathways.

Abstract
End stage renal disease (ESRD) invariably leads to anemia which has been mainly attributed to compromised release of erythropoietin from the defective kidneys with subsequent impairment of erythropoiesis. However, erythropoietin replacement only partially reverses anemia pointing to the involvement of additional mechanisms. As shown more recently, anemia of ESRD is indeed in large part a result of accelerated erythrocyte loss due to suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the cell surface. Phosphatidylserine exposing erythrocytes are bound to and engulfed by macrophages and are thus rapidly cleared from circulating blood. If the loss of erythrocytes cannot be fully compensated by enhanced erythropoiesis, stimulation of eryptosis leads to anemia. Eryptotic erythrocytes may further adhere to the vascular wall and thus impair microcirculation. Stimulators of eryptosis include complement, hyperosmotic shock, energy depletion, oxidative stress, and a wide variety of xenobiotics. Signaling involved in the stimulation of eryptosis includes increase of cytosolic Ca2+ activity, ceramide, caspases, calpain, p38 kinase, protein kinase C, Janus-activated kinase 3, casein kinase 1α, and cyclin-dependent kinase 4. Eryptosis is inhibited by AMP-activated kinase, p21-activated kinase 2, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, mitogen- and stress-activated kinase MSK1/2, and some illdefined tyrosine kinases. In ESRD eryptosis is stimulated at least in part by a plasma component, as it is triggered by exposure of erythrocytes from healthy individuals to plasma from ESRD patients. Several eryptosis-stimulating uremic toxins have been identified, such as vanadate, acrolein, methylglyoxal, indoxyl sulfate, indole-3-acetic acid and phosphate. Attempts to fully reverse anemia in ESRD with excessive stimulation of erythropoiesis enhances the number of circulating suicidal erythrocytes and bears the risk of interference with micocirculation, At least in theory, anemia in ESRD could preferably be treated with replacement of erythropoietin and additional inhibition of eryptosis thus avoiding eryptosis-induced impairment of microcirculation. A variety of eryptosis inhibitors have been identified, their efficacy in ESRD remains, however, to be shown.

Abstract
Background: Eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine-translocation, is triggered by fever and inflammation. Signaling includes increased cytosolic Ca2+-activity ([Ca2+]i), caspase activation, and ceramide. Inflammation is associated with increased plasma concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP). The present study explored whether CRP triggers eryptosis. Methods: Phosphatidylserine abundance at the cell surface was estimated from annexin-V-binding, cell volume from forward scatter, [Ca2+]i from Fluo3-fluorescence, ceramide abundance and caspase-3-activity utilizing FITC-conjugated antibodies. Moreover, blood was drawn from patients with acute appendicitis (9♀,11♂) and healthy volunteers (10♀,10♂) for determination of CRP, blood count and phosphatidylserine. Results: A 48h CRP treatment significantly increased the percentage of annexin-V-binding cells (≥5µg/ml), [Ca2+]i (≥5µg/ml), ceramide (20µg/ml) and caspase-activity (20µg/ml). Annexin-V-binding was significantly blunted by caspase inhibitor zVAD (10µM). The percentage of phosphatidylserine-exposing erythrocytes in freshly drawn blood was significantly higher in appendicitis patients (1.83±0.21%) than healthy volunteers (0.81±0.09%), and significantly higher following a 24h incubation of erythrocytes from healthy volunteers to patient plasma than to plasma from healthy volunteers. The percentage of phosphatidylserine-exposing erythrocytes correlated with CRP plasma concentration. Conclusion: C-reactive protein triggers eryptosis, an effect at least partially due to increase of [Ca2+]i, increase of ceramide abundance and caspase activation.

Abstract
Background/Aims: The thaliana phytoalexin Camalexin has been proposed for the treatment of malignancy. Camalexin counteracts tumor growth in part by stimulation of suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells. Similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may enter suicidal death or eryptosis, which is characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the erythrocyte surface. Cellular mechanisms contributing to the complex machinery executing eryptosis include increase of cytosolic Ca2+ activity ([Ca2+]i), oxidative stress, ceramide, protein kinase C and caspases. The present study explored, whether Camalexin induces eryptosis and, if so, to shed light on mechanisms involved. Methods: Phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface was estimated from annexin-V-binding, cell volume from forward scatter, [Ca2+]i from Fluo-3 fluorescence, ROS formation from DCFDA dependent fluorescence, and ceramide abundance utilizing specific antibodies. Results: A 48 hours exposure of human erythrocytes to Camalexin significantly increased the percentage of annexin-V-binding cells (≥ 10 µg/ml), significantly decreased forward scatter (≥ 5 µg/ml) and significantly increased Fluo-3-fluorescence (≥ 10 µg/ml), but did not significantly modify DCFDA fluorescence or ceramide abundance. The effect of Camalexin on annexin-V-binding was significantly blunted by removal of extracellular Ca2+, by kinase inhibitors staurosporine (1 µM) and chelerythrine (10 µM), as well as by caspase inhibitors zVAD (10 µM) and zIETD-fmk (50 µM). Conclusions: Camalexin triggers cell shrinkage and phospholipid scrambling of the erythrocyte cell membrane, an effect at least in part depending on Ca2+ entry, as well as staurosporine and chelerythrine sensitive kinase(s) as well as zVAD and zIETD-fmk sensitive caspase(s).
