[PMID: 38823342 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is the main cause of many diseases, but because of its complex pathogenic factors, there is no clear method for treating it. Ginseng total saponin (GTS) an important active ingredients in Panax ginseng C.A. Mey (PG) and has potential therapeutic ability for oxidative stress due to various causes. However, the molecular mechanism of GTS in the treating oxidative stress damage in red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear. PURPOSE This study aimed to examine the protective effect of GTS on RBCs under oxidative stress damage and to determine its potential mechanism. METHODS The oxidative stress models of rat RBCs induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and exhaustive swimming in vivo and in vitro was used. We determined the cell morphology, oxygen carrying capacity, apoptosis, antioxidant capacity, and energy metabolism of RBCs. The effect of tyrosine phosphorylation (pTyr) of Band 3 protein on RBCs glycolysis was also examined. RESULTS GTS reduced the hemolysis of RBCs induced by H2O2 at the lowest concentration. Moreover, GTS effectively improved the morphology, enhanced the oxygen carrying capacity, and increased antioxidant enzyme activity, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in RBCs. GTS also promoted the expression of membrane proteins in RBCs, inhibited pTyr of Band 3 protein, and further improved glycolysis, restoring the morphological structure and physiological function of RBCs. CONCLUSIONS This study shows, that GTS can protect RBCs from oxidative stress damage by improving RBCs morphology and physiological function. Changes in pTyr expression and its related pTyr regulatory enzymes before and after GTS treatment suggest that Band 3 protein is the main target of GTS in the treating endogenous and exogenous oxidative stress. Moreover, GTS can enhance the glycolytic ability of RBCs by inhibiting pTyr of Band 3 protein, thereby restoring the function of RBCs.

Abstract
Significance: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited diathesis affecting mostly underserved populations globally. SCD is characterized by chronic pain and fatigue, severe acute painful crises requiring hospitalization and opioids, strokes, multiorgan damage, and a shortened life span. Symptoms may appear shortly after birth, and, in less developed countries, most children with SCD die before attaining age 5. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant and gene therapy offer a curative therapeutic approach, but, due to many challenges, are limited in their availability and effectiveness for a majority of persons with SCD. A critical unmet need is to develop safe and effective novel targeted therapies. A wide array of drugs currently undergoing clinical investigation hold promise for an expanded pharmacological armamentarium against SCD. Recent Advances: Hydroxyurea, the most widely used intervention for SCD management, has improved the survival in the Western world and more recently, voxelotor (R-state-stabilizer), l-glutamine, and crizanlizumab (anti-P-selectin antibody) have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in SCD. The recent FDA approval emphasizes the need to revisit the advances in understanding the core pathophysiology of SCD to accelerate novel evidence-based strategies to treat SCD. The biomechanical breakdown of erythrocytesis, the core pathophysiology of SCD, is associated with intrinsic factors, including the composition of hemoglobin, membrane integrity, cellular volume, hydration, andoxidative stress. Critical Issues and Future Directions: In this context, this review focuses on advances in emerging nongenetic interventions directed toward the therapeutic targets intrinsic to sickle red blood cells (RBCs), which can prevent impaired rheology of RBCs to impede disease progression and reduce the sequelae of comorbidities, including pain, vasculopathy, and organ damage. In addition, given the intricate pathophysiology of the disease, it is unlikely that a single pharmacotherapeutic intervention will comprehensively ameliorate the multifaceted complications associated with SCD. However, the availability of multiple drug options affords the opportunity for individualized therapeutic regimens tailored to specific SCD-related complications. Furthermore, it opens avenues for combination drug therapy, capitalizing on distinct mechanisms of action and profiles of adverse effects.

Abstract
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, leading to the formation of sickle-shaped red blood cells, causing vaso-occlusion. Inflammation is a key component of the pathophysiology of SCD, contributing to the vascular complications and tissue damage. This review is centered on exploring the role of the inflammatory complement system in the pathophysiology of SCD. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive summary of the existing evidence regarding complement activation in patients with SCD, encompassing both steady-state conditions and episodes of vaso-occlusive events. Additionally, we will discuss the proposed mechanisms by which the complement system may contribute to tissue injury in this pathology. Finally, we will provide an overview of the available evidence concerning the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions aimed at blocking the complement system in the context of SCD and discuss the perspective of complement inhibition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In sickle cell disease (SCD), a single amino acid substitution at β6 of the hemoglobin (Hb) chain replaces glutamate with valine, forming HbS instead of the normal adult HbA. Loss of a negative charge, and the conformational change in deoxygenated HbS molecules, enables formation of HbS polymers. These not only distort red cell morphology but also have other profound effects so that this simple etiology belies a complex pathogenesis with multiple complications. Although SCD represents a common severe inherited disorder with life-long consequences, approved treatments remain inadequate. Hydroxyurea is currently the most effective, with a handful of newer treatments, but there remains a real need for novel, efficacious therapies. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes important early events in pathogenesis to highlight key targets for novel treatments. EXPERT OPINION A thorough understanding of early events in pathogenesis closely associated with the presence of HbS is the logical starting point for identification of new targets rather than concentrating on more downstream effects. We discuss ways of reducing HbS levels, reducing the impact of HbS polymers, and of membrane events perturbing cell function, and suggest using the unique permeability of sickle cells to target drugs specifically into those more severely compromised.

Abstract
Although both protein tyrosine phosphatases and kinases are constitutively active in healthy human red blood cells (RBCs), the preponderance of phosphatase activities maintains the membrane proteins in a predominantly unphosphorylated state. We report here that unlike healthy RBCs, proteins in sickle cells are heavily tyrosine phosphorylated, raising the question regarding the mechanism underpinning this tyrosine phosphorylation. Upon investigating possible causes, we observe that protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), the major erythrocyte tyrosine phosphatase, is largely digested to a lower molecular weight fragment in sickle cells. We further find that the resulting truncated form of PTP1B is significantly less active than its intact counterpart, probably accounting for the intense tyrosine phosphorylation of Band 3 in sickle erythrocytes. Because this tyrosine phosphorylation of Band 3 promotes erythrocyte membrane weakening that causes release of both membrane vesicles and cell free hemoglobin that in turn initiates vaso-occlusive events, we conclude that cleavage of PTP1B could contribute to the symptoms of sickle cell disease. We further posit that methods to inhibit proteolysis of PTP1B could mitigate symptoms of the disease.

Abstract
Prototype of monogenic disorder, sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a unique single mutation in the β-globin gene, leading to the production of the abnormal hemoglobin S (HbS). HbS polymerization in deoxygenated condition induces the sickling of red blood cells (RBCs), which become less deformable and more fragile, and thus prone to lysis. In addition to anemia, SCD patients may exhibit a plethora of clinical manifestations ranging from acute complications such as the frequent and debilitating painful vaso-occlusive crisis to chronic end organ damages. Several interrelated pathophysiological processes have been described, including impaired blood rheology, increased blood cell adhesion, coagulation, inflammation and enhanced oxidative stress among others. During the last two decades, it has been shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs), defined as cell-derived anucleated particles delimited by a lipid bilayer, and comprising small EVs (sEVs) and medium/large EVs (m/lEVs); are not only biomarkers but also subcellular actors in SCD pathophysiology. Plasma concentration of m/lEVs, originated mainly from RBCs and platelets (PLTs) but also from the other blood cell types, is higher in SCD patients than in healthy controls. The concentration and the density of externalized phosphatidylserine of those released from RBCs may vary according to clinical status (crisis vs. steady state) and treatment (hydroxyurea). Besides their procoagulant properties initially described, RBC-m/lEVs may promote inflammation through their effects on monocytes/macrophages and endothelial cells. Although less intensely studied, sEVs plasma concentration is increased in SCD and these EVs may cause endothelial damages. In addition, sEVs released from activated PLTs trigger PLT-neutrophil aggregation involved in lung vaso-occlusion in sickle mice. Altogether, these data clearly indicate that EVs are both biomarkers and bio-effectors in SCD, which deserve further studies.

Abstract
Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain how a glutamate to valine substitution in sickle haemoglobin (HbS) can cause sickle cell disease (SCD). We propose and document a new mechanism in which elevated tyrosine phosphorylation of Band 3 initiates sequelae that cause vaso-occlusion and the symptoms of SCD. In this mechanism, denaturation of HbS and release of heme generate intracellular oxidants which cause inhibition of erythrocyte tyrosine phosphatases, thus permitting constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation of Band 3. This phosphorylation in turn induces dissociation of the spectrin-actin cytoskeleton from the membrane, leading to membrane weakening, discharge of membrane-derived microparticles (which initiate the coagulation cascade) and release of cell-free HbS (which consumes nitric oxide) and activates the endothelium to express adhesion receptors). These processes promote vaso-occlusive events which cause SCD. We further show that inhibitors of Syk tyrosine kinase block Band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation, prevent release of cell-free Hb, inhibit discharge of membrane-derived microparticles, increase sickle cell deformability, reduce sickle cell adhesion to human endothelial cells, and enhance sickle cell flow through microcapillaries. In view of reports that imatinib (a Syk inhibitor) successfully treats symptoms of sickle cell disease, we suggest that Syk tyrosine kinase inhibitors warrant repurposing as potential treatments for SCD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The nature of the surface is critical in determining the biological activity of silica powders. A novel correlation between toxicity and surface properties of bioactive glass ceramics (BGCs) synthesized via the sol-gel method was attempted in this study. METHODS The behavior of BGCs after their attachment to the surface of red blood cells (RBCs) was evaluated and their toxic effects were determined based on hemolysis, membrane injury via anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblot of Band 3, lipid peroxidation, potential to generate reactive oxygen species, and antioxidant enzyme production. In particular, three BGCs were synthesized and treated at three sintering temperatures (T1 = 835 °C, T2 = 1000 °C and T3 = 1100 °C) to investigate possible relation between surface charge or structure and hemolytic potential. RESULTS Their toxicity based on hemolysis was dose dependent, while BGC-T2 had the best hemocompatibility in compare with the other BGCs.No BGCs in dosages lower than 0.125 mg/mL could damage erythrocytes. On the other hand, all BGCs promoted the production of reactive oxygen species in certain concentrations, with the BGC-T2 producing the lowest ROS and increasing the glutathione levels in RBCs protecting their damage. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that various factors such as size, a probable different proportion of surface silanols, a balanced mechanism between calcium and magnesium cellular uptake or the different crystalline nature may have contributed to this finding; however, future research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
The dynamic coordination between kinases and phosphatases is crucial for cell homeostasis, in response to different stresses. The functional connection between oxidation and the intracellular signaling machinery still remains to be investigated. In the last decade, several studies have highlighted the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as modulators directly targeting kinases, phosphatases, and downstream modulators, or indirectly acting on cysteine residues on kinases/phosphatases resulting in protein conformational changes with modulation of intracellular signaling pathway(s). Translational studies have revealed the important link between oxidation and signal transduction pathways in hematological disorders. The intricate nature of intracellular signal transduction mechanisms, based on the generation of complex networks of different types of signaling proteins, revealed the novel and important role of phosphatases together with kinases in disease mechanisms. Thus, therapeutic approaches to abnormal signal transduction pathways should consider either inhibition of overactivated/accumulated kinases or homeostatic signaling resetting through the activation of phosphatases. This review discusses the progress in the knowledge of the interplay between oxidation and cell signaling, involving phosphatase/kinase systems in models of globally distributed hematological disorders.

Abstract
Abnormal activity of red cell KCl cotransport (KCC) is involved in pathogenesis of sickle cell anaemia (SCA). KCC-mediated solute loss causes shrinkage, concentrates HbS, and promotes HbS polymerisation. Red cell KCC also responds to various stimuli including pH, volume, urea, and oxygen tension, and regulation involves protein phosphorylation. The main aim of this study was to investigate the role of the WNK/SPAK/OSR1 pathway in sickle cells. The pan WNK inhibitor WNK463 stimulated KCC with an EC50 of 10.9 ± 1.1 nM and 7.9 ± 1.2 nM in sickle and normal red cells, respectively. SPAK/OSR1 inhibitors had little effect. The action of WNK463 was not additive with other kinase inhibitors (staurosporine and N-ethylmaleimide). Its effects were largely abrogated by pre-treatment with the phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A. WNK463 also reduced the effects of physiological KCC stimuli (pH, volume, urea) and abolished any response of KCC to changes in oxygen tension. Finally, although protein kinases have been implicated in regulation of phosphatidylserine exposure, WNK463 had no effect. Findings indicate a predominant role for WNKs in control of KCC in sickle cells but an apparent absence of downstream involvement of SPAK/OSR1. A more complete understanding of the mechanisms will inform pathogenesis whilst manipulation of WNK activity represents a potential therapeutic approach.

Abstract
AIM Nitric oxide (NO) prevents the decline of RBC deformability under high altitude and other ischemic and hypoxic conditions, but the clear mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we have carried out a systematic study to find the mechanisms of NO-induced regulation of RBC deformability under hypoxia. METHODS NO levels, RBCs membrane elongation index (EI), membrane protein band 3 methemoglobin (MetHb) were determined during hypoxia (0 to 120 minutes). To validate the role of NO in regulating RBC deformability, tests were also performed with a NO donor (sodium nitroprusside) or a NO synthase inhibitor (l-nitro-arginine methylester) under 60 minutes hypoxia. RESULTS Hypoxia for 45 minutes increased NO levels from 25.65 ± 1.95 to 35.26 ± 2.01 μmol/L, and there was a plateau after 60 minutes hypoxia. The EI did not change before 45 minutes hypoxia, but decreased from 0.567 ± 0.019 to 0.409 ± 0.042 (30 Pa) after 60 minutes hypoxia. The cross-linking of band 3 and phosphotyrosine increased after 45 minutes hypoxia. All can be alleviated by supplement NO and aggregated by inhibiting NOS. However, the MetHb was not present this trend. CONCLUSION NO may prevent decreased of RBCs deformability through reducing the cross-linking of membrane band 3 under hypoxia; this helps microvascular perfusion of RBCs during ischemic and hypoxic disease states.

Abstract
Cell dehydration is a distinguishing characteristic of sickle cell disease and an important contributor to disease pathophysiology. Due to the unique dependence of Hb S polymerization on cellular Hb S concentration, cell dehydration promotes polymerization and sickling. In double heterozygosis for Hb S and C (SC disease) dehydration is the determining factor in disease pathophysiology. Three major ion transport pathways are involved in sickle cell dehydration: the K-Cl cotransport (KCC), the Gardos channel (KCNN4) and Psickle, the polymerization induced membrane permeability, most likely mediated by the mechano-sensitive ion channel PIEZO1. Each of these pathways exhibit unique characteristics in regulation by oxygen tension, intracellular and extracellular environment, and functional expression in reticulocytes and mature red cells. The unique dependence of K-Cl cotransport on intracellular Mg and the abnormal reduction of erythrocyte Mg content in SS and SC cells had led to clinical studies assessing the effect of oral Mg supplementation. Inhibition of Gardos channel by clotrimazole and senicapoc has led to Phase 1,2,3 trials in patients with sickle cell disease. While none of these studies has resulted in the approval of a novel therapy for SS disease, they have highlighted the key role played by these pathways in disease pathophysiology.

Band 3 Erythrocyte Membrane Protein Acts as Redox Stress Sensor Leading to Its Phosphorylation by p (72) Syk. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2015; 2016:6051093.

Abstract
In erythrocytes, the regulation of the redox sensitive Tyr phosphorylation of band 3 and its functions are still partially defined. A role of band 3 oxidation in regulating its own phosphorylation has been previously suggested. The current study provides evidences to support this hypothesis: (i) in intact erythrocytes, at 2 mM concentration of GSH, band 3 oxidation, and phosphorylation, Syk translocation to the membrane and Syk phosphorylation responded to the same micromolar concentrations of oxidants showing identical temporal variations; (ii) the Cys residues located in the band 3 cytoplasmic domain are 20-fold more reactive than GSH; (iii) disulfide linked band 3 cytoplasmic domain docks Syk kinase; (iv) protein Tyr phosphatases are poorly inhibited at oxidant concentrations leading to massive band 3 oxidation and phosphorylation. We also observed that hemichromes binding to band 3 determined its irreversible oxidation and phosphorylation, progressive hemolysis, and serine hyperphosphorylation of different cytoskeleton proteins. Syk inhibitor suppressed the phosphorylation of band 3 also preventing serine phosphorylation changes and hemolysis. Our data suggest that band 3 acts as redox sensor regulating its own phosphorylation and that hemichromes leading to the protracted phosphorylation of band 3 may trigger a cascade of events finally leading to hemolysis.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) in patients of HbSC genotype is considered similar, albeit milder, to that in homozygous HbSS individuals--but with little justification. In SCD, elevated red cell cation permeability is critical as increased solute loss causes dehydration and encourages sickling. Recently, we showed that the KCl cotransporter (KCC) activity in red cells from HbSC patients correlated significantly with disease severity, but that in HbSS patients did not. Two transporters involved in red cell dehydration, the conductive channels Psickle and the Gardos channel, behaved similarly in red cells from the two genotypes, but were significantly less active in HbSC patients. By contrast, KCC activity was quantitatively greater in HbSC red cells. Results suggest that KCC is likely to have greater involvement in red cell dehydration in HbSC patients, which could explain its association with disease severity in this genotype. This work supports the hypothesis that SCD in HbSC patients is a distinct disease entity to that in HbSS patients. Results suggest the possibility of designing specific treatments of particular benefit to HbSC patients and a rationale for the development of prognostic markers, to inform early treatment of children likely to develop more severe complications of the disease.

Abstract
Oxygen tension has emerged as a potent regulator of multiple erythrocyte properties, including glucose metabolism, cell volume, ATP release, and cytoskeletal organization. Because hemoglobin (Hb)(1) binds to the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (cdb3) in an oxygen dependent manner, with deoxyHb exhibiting significantly greater affinity for cdb3 than oxyHb, the deoxyHb-cdb3 interaction has been hypothesized to constitute the molecular switch for all O2-controlled erythrocyte processes. In this study, we describe a rapid and accurate method for quantitating the interaction of deoxyHb binding to cdb3. For this purpose, enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) is fused to the COOH-terminus of cdb3, and the binding of Hb to the NH2-terminus of cdb3-eGFP is quantitated by Hb-mediated quenching of cdb3-eGFP fluorescence. As expected, the intensity of cdb3-eGFP fluorescence decreases only slightly following addition of oxyHb. However, upon deoxygenation of the same Hb-cdb3 solution, the fluorescence decreases dramatically (i.e. confirming that deoxyHb exhibits much greater affinity for cdb3 than oxyHb). Using this fluorescence quenching method, we not only confirm previously established characteristics of the Hb-cdb3 interaction, but also establish an assay that can be exploited to screen for inhibitors of the sickle Hb-cdb3 interaction that accelerates sickle Hb polymerization.

Abstract
The heterocyclic aldehyde 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5HMF) interacts allosterically with the abnormal form of haemoglobin (Hb), HbS, in red blood cells (RBCs) from patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), thereby increasing oxygen affinity and decreasing HbS polymerization and RBC sickling during hypoxia. We hypothesized that should 5HMF also inhibit the main cation pathways implicated in the dehydration of RBCs from SCD patients - the deoxygenation-induced cation pathway (Psickle), the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (the Gardos channel) and the K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (KCC) - it would have a synergistic effect in protection against sickling, directly through interacting with HbS, and indirectly through maintaining hydration and reducing [HbS]. This study was therefore designed to investigate the effects of 5HMF on RBC volume and K(+) permeability in vitro. 5HMF markedly reduced the deoxygenation-induced dehydration of RBCs whether in response to maintained deoxygenation or to cyclical deoxygenation/re-oxygenation. 5HMF was found to inhibit Psickle, an effect which correlated with its effects on sickling. Deoxygenation-induced activation of the Gardos channel and exposure of phosphatidylserine were also inhibited, probably indirectly via reduced entry of Ca(2+) through the Psickle pathway. Effects of 5HMF on KCC were more modest with a slight inhibition in N-ethylmaleimide (NEM, 1 mm)-treated RBCs and stimulation in RBCs untreated with NEM. These findings support the hypothesis that 5HMF may also be beneficial through effects on RBC ion and water homeostasis.

Abstract
With the advent of proteomic techniques the number of known post-translational modifications (PTMs) affecting red cell membrane proteins is rapidly growing but the understanding of their role under physiological and pathological conditions is incompletely established. The wide range of hereditary diseases affecting different red cell membrane functions and the membrane modifications induced by malaria parasite intracellular growth represent a unique opportunity to study PTMs in response to variable cellular stresses. In the present review, some of the major areas of interest in red cell membrane research have been considered as modifications of erythrocyte deformability and maintenance of the surface area, membrane transport alterations, and removal of diseased and senescent red cells. In all mentioned research areas the functional roles of PTMs are prevalently restricted to the phosphorylative changes of the more abundant membrane proteins. The insufficient information about the PTMs occurring in a large majority of the red membrane proteins and the general lack of mass spectrometry data evidence the need of new comprehensive, proteomic approaches to improve the understanding of the red cell membrane physiology.

Abstract
Oxidative events involving band 3 (Anion Exchanger 1) have been associated with RBC (red blood cell) removal through binding of NAbs (naturally occurring antibodies); however, the underlying mechanism has been only partially characterized. In addition to inducing direct membrane protein oxidative modification, oxidative treatment specifically triggers the phosphorylation of band 3 tyrosine residues. The present study reports that diamide, a thiol group oxidant, induces disulfide cross-linking of poorly glycosylated band 3 and that the oligomerized band 3 fraction is selectively tyrosine phosphorylated both in G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase)-deficient and control RBCs. This phenomenon is irreversible in G6PD-deficient RBCs, whereas it is temporarily limited in control RBCs. Diamide treatment caused p72 Syk phosphorylation and translocation to the membrane. Diamide also induced p72 Syk co-immunoprecipitation with aggregated band 3. Moreover, following size-exclusion separation of Triton X-100-extracted membrane proteins, Syk was found only in the high-molecular-mass fraction containing oligomerized/phosphorylated band 3. Src family inhibitors efficiently abrogated band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation, band 3 clustering and NAbs binding to the RBC surface, suggesting a causal relationship between these events. Experiments performed with the non-permeant cross-linker BS(3) (bis-sulfosuccinimidyl-suberate) showed that band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation enhances its capability to form large aggregates. The results of the present study suggest that selective tyrosine phosphorylation of oxidized band 3 by Syk may play a role in the recruitment of oxidized band 3 in large membrane aggregates that show a high affinity to NAbs, leading to RBC removal from the circulation.

Abstract
Erythrocyte glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD), is a glycolytic enzyme normally inhibited upon binding to the anion transporter Band 3 and activated when free in the cytosol. We have previously reported that ferric protoporphyrin IX (FP) enhances G3PD activity in human erythrocytes (RBC). This could be due to two mechanisms considered in this work: Band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation or oxidative damage of specific G3PD binding sites in the membrane. In both cases binding of G3PD to the membrane would be prevented, leading to the enhancement of G3PD activity. Here, we show that FP induces a dose- and time-dependent phosphorylation of tyrosine 8 and 21 of Band 3, as confirmed by the recruitment of SHP2 phosphatase to the membrane. It appears that Band 3 phosphorylation is due to the oxidation of critical sulfydryl groups of a membrane phosphatase (PTP). Data on membrane localization, Mg2+ dependence, sensitivity to thiol oxidizing agents and protection by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and DTT strongly suggest the involvement of PTP1B, the major PTP of human RBC associated to and acting on Band 3. However, FP activates G3PD even when Band 3 phosphorylation is inhibited, therefore phosphorylation is not the mechanism underlying G3PD activation by FP. The capacity of NAC of counteracting the stimulatory activity of FP, supports the hypothesis that FP might induce the oxidative damage of specific G3PD binding sites in the membrane, causing the displacement of the enzyme into the cytosol and/or the release from its binding site and therefore its activation.

Abstract
In red cells from normal individuals (HbA cells), the K+-Cl- cotransporter (KCC) is inactivated by low O2 tension whilst in those from sickle cell patients (HbS cells), it remains fully active. Changes in free intracellular [Mg2+] have been proposed as a mechanism. In HbA cells, KCC activity was stimulated by Mg2+ depletion and inhibited by Mg2+ loading but the effect of O2 was independent of Mg2+. At all [Mg2+]is, the transporter was stimulated in oxygenated cells, minimally active in deoxygenated ones. By contrast, the stimulatory effects of O2 was abolished by inhibitors of protein (de)phosphorylation. HbS cells had elevated KCC activity, which was of similar magnitude in oxygenated and deoxygenated cells, regardless of Mg2+ clamping. In deoxygenated cells, the antisickling agent dimethyl adipimidate inhibited sickling, Psickle and KCC. Results indicate a role for protein phosphorylation in O2 dependence of KCC, with different activities of the relevant enzymes in HbA and HbS cells, probably dependent on Hb.

Abstract
The K-Cl cotransport (KCC) is an electroneutral-gradient-driven-membrane transport system, which is involved in regulation of red cell volume. Although the regulatory cascade of KCC is largely unknown, a signaling pathway involving phosphatases and kinases has been proposed. Here, we investigated the expression and the activity of protein phosphatase 1(PP-1) isoforms in mouse red cells, focusing on two models of abnormally activated KCC: mice genetically lacking the two Src-family tyrosine kinases, Hck and Fgr, (hck-/-fgr-/-) and the SAD transgenic sickle-cell-mice. The PP-1alpha, PP-1gamma, PP-1delta isoforms were expressed at similar levels in wild-type, hck-/-fgr-/- and SAD mouse erythrocytes and in each case were predominantly localized to cytoplasm. The PP-1alpha activity was significantly higher in both membrane and cytosol fractions of hck-/-fgr-/- and of SAD erythrocytes than in those of wild-type red cells, suggesting PP-1alpha as a target of the Hck and Fgr kinases. The PP2, a specific inhibitor of Src-family kinase, significantly increased KCC activity in wild-type mouse red cells, but failed to modify the already increased KCC activity in SAD erythrocytes. The lag-time for activation of KCC was considerably reduced in both hck-/-fgr-/- and SAD erythrocytes, suggesting that the rate limiting activation steps in both strains are freed from their tonic inhibition. Sulfhydryl reduction by dithiothreitol (DTT) lowered KCC activity only in SAD red cells, but did not affect the PP2-treated erythrocytes. These data suggest up-regulation of KCC in SAD red cells is mainly secondary to oxidative damage, which most likely reduces or removes the tonic KCC inhibition resulting from PP-1alpha activity controlled in turn by Src-family kinases.

Abstract
Erythrocytes play a key role in human and vertebrate metabolism. Tissue O2 supply is regulated by both hemoglobin (Hb)-O2 affinity and erythrocyte rheology, a key determinant of tissue perfusion. Oxygenation-deoxygenation transitions of Hb may lead to re-organization of the cytoskeleton and signalling pathways activation/deactivation in an O2-dependent manner. Deoxygenated Hb binds to the cytoplasmic domain of the anion exchanger band 3, which is anchored to the cytoskeleton, and is considered a major mechanism underlying the oxygenation-dependence of several erythrocyte functions. This work discusses the multiple modes of Hb-cytoskeleton interactions. In addition, it reviews the effects of Mg2+, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, NO, shear stress and Ca2+, all factors accompanying the oxygenation-deoxygenation cycle in circulating red cells. Due to the extensive literature on the subject, the data discussed here, pertain mainly to human erythrocytes whose O2 affinity is modulated by 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, ectothermic vertebrate erythrocytes that use ATP, and to bird erythrocytes that use inositol pentaphosphate.

Free Radic Biol Med 2005; 38:1625-36.

Abstract
Protein serine/threonine phosphorylation is a significant component of the intracellular signal that together with tyrosine phosphorylation regulates several processes, including cell-cycle progression, muscle contraction, transcription, and neuronal signaling. Cross-talk between phosphoserine/threonine- and phosphotyrosine-mediated pathways is not yet well understood. In this study we found that peroxynitrite, a physiological oxidant formed by the fast radical-radical reaction between the nitric oxide and the superoxide anion, induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha) in human erythrocytes through activation of src family kinases. We have previously shown in mouse red cells that upregulation of the src kinase fgr phosphorylates PP1alpha, acting as an upstream negative regulator of PP1alpha, and downregulates K-Cl cotransport. Here we found that PP1alpha is a selective substrate of peroxynitrite-activated fgr and that tyrosine phosphorylation of PP1alpha corresponds to an inhibition of its enzymatic activity. Despite fgr activation and PP1alpha downregulation, peroxynitrite stimulated in a dose-dependent fashion the function of the K-Cl cotransporter. In an attempt to understand the mechanism of K-Cl cotransport activation, we found that the effect of peroxynitrite is completely reversed by dithriothreitol, suggesting that peroxynitrite acts as an oxidizing agent by an SH-dependent and PP1alpha-independent mechanism. These findings highlight a novel function of peroxynitrite in regulating the intracellular signal transduction pathways involving serine/threonine phosphorylation and the functional role of proteins that are targets of these phosphatases.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of tyrosine residues of human red blood cell (RBC) band 3 is regulated in vivo by constitutively active tyrosine-kinases (PTKs) and phosphotyrosine-phosphatases (PTPs), identified so far as, respectively, p72(syk) and p56/53(lyn), and PTP1B and SHPTP-2. Tyr-phosphorylation of band 3 increases upon reduction of cell volume as in hypertonic media or during Ca(2+)-induced membrane vesiculation. We show here that old RBCs display higher Tyr-phosphorylation levels of band 3 than younger cells under hypertonic conditions, at least in part due to the reduced cell volume of old RBCs, a condition of lowered threshold for activation of volume-sensitive PTKs. We have also analysed the membrane-bound PTP activity and the relative abundance of PTP1B (as the main membrane-associated PTP) in RBCs of different age. Immunodetection of PTP1B in purified ghost membranes revealed that the catalytic, N-terminal domain of the PTP is partially cleaved, in an age-dependent manner, from the membrane-bound domain, and it is lost during the preparation of ghost membranes. This suggests that erythrocytes may undergo in vivo activation of the Ca(2+)-dependent calpain system that proteolytically regulates PTP1B activity, as already documented for other cell types. On the other hand, the assay of the PTP activity that remains associated with the membranes of RBCs of different age indicated that the PTP undergoes oxidative inactivation that can be further differentiated into reversible and irreversible components.

Abstract
In this paper, we provide an update on O2-dependent membrane transport in red cells. O2-sensitive membrane transport was compared in nucleated (chicken) and enucleated (human) red cells, to investigate effects on organic (glucose transporter [GLUT]) and inorganic (K(+)-Cl- cotransporter [KCC]/Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransporter [NKCC]) transporters, to study the response of so-called "housekeeping" transporters (Na+/K+ pump and anion exchanger [AE]) and, finally, to compare O2 sensitivity in normal human red cells with those from sickle cell patients. The Na+/K+ pump showed no change in activity between oxygenated and deoxygenated cells in any of the samples. KCC in normal human red cells had the greatest O2 sensitivity, being stimulated some 20-fold on oxygenation. It was more modestly stimulated by O2 in chicken red cells and HbS cells. By contrast, NKCC was stimulated by deoxygenation in all cases. GLUT showed little response to O2 tension, other than a small stimulation in deoxygenated chicken red cells. Finally, AE1 was stimulated by oxygenation in HbA cells, but this stimulation by O2 was absent in HbS cells and pink ghosts prepared from HbA cells. The significance of these findings is discussed.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) of the Src family are thought to suppress K-Cl cotransport (KCC) activity via negative regulation of protein phosphatases. However, some PTK inhibitors reduce KCC activity, suggesting opposite regulation by different PTK families. We have reported previously that deoxygenation of sickle cells stimulates KCC and activates Syk (a Syk family PTK), but not Lyn (an Src family PTK). In this study the same results were obtained when PTK activities were measured under the conditions used to measure KCC activity and which prevent any change in intracellular [Mg(2+)]. Methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate (DHC), a PTK inhibitor, was more selective for Syk than Lyn, while staurosporine (ST), a broad-specificity protein kinase inhibitor, inhibited Lyn more than Syk. Deoxygenation or 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-( t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4- d] pyrimidine (pp2, a specific Src inhibitor) stimulated KCC independently. These effects were not additive and were inhibited by DHC. In contrast, ST-induced KCC activation was resistant to DHC, suggesting a different pathway of activation. Overall, these data indicate that Syk activity is required for KCC activation, either induced by deoxygenation of sickle cells, or mediated by Src inhibition in oxygenated cells, and that Syk and Src PTKs exert opposing and interconnected regulatory effects on the activity of the transporter.

Abstract
The anion-exchange band 3 protein is the main erythrocyte protein that is phosphorylated by protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). We have previously identified a band 3-associated phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that is normally highly active and prevents the accumulation of band 3 phosphotyrosine. Band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation can be induced by inhibition of PTP (vanadate, thiol oxidation), activation of PTK (hypertonic NaCl) or intracellular increased Ca(2+) (mechanism unknown). We now show that there is inhibition of dephosphorylation of band 3 in Ca(2+)/ionophore-treated erythrocytes and in membranes isolated from the treated cells. These membranes exhibit phosphatase activity upon the addition of exogenous substrate. Dephosphorylation of the endogenous substrate (band 3) can be activated in these membranes by the addition of Mg(2+). Thus the inability of PTP to dephosphorylate the band 3 phosphotyrosine is not due to inhibition of the enzyme itself. Ca(2+) rise in the erythrocyte causes dissociation of PTP from band 3, thus leaving the kinase unopposed. This is shown by a significant diminution in band 3/PTP co-precipitation. Addition of Mg(2+) to these membranes leads to reassociation of band 3 with PTP. The Ca(2+)-induced inhibition of band 3 dephosphorylation may be due to Ca(2+)-dependent alterations in membrane components and structure, affecting the interaction of band 3 with PTP. The Ca(2+)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, involving an apparent PTP inhibition via dissociation from the substrate, may play a role in signal transduction pathways and in certain pathological disorders associated with increased cell Ca(2+).

Abstract
We have reviewed here a number of membrane transport events in red cells from normal individuals and sickle cell patients which respond to changes in O(2) tension. Some deoxygenation-induced changes in membrane permeability are unique to HbS cells and contribute to their dehydration and subsequent sickling. Polymerization of HbS, or specific oxidant damage (or altered redox potential), is a likely factor underlying the abnormal behavior. The key regulatory sites within the membrane or associated proteins remain uncertain and their identity will form the focus of future research. A model for sickle cell dehydration is presented. Inhibition of these permeability changes represents possible avenues for future chemotherapy to ameliorate the condition.
