Eryptosis, a Window to Systemic Disease

Abstract: Similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells, suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis is characterized by cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing and membrane phospholipid scrambling with phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface. Signaling of eryptosis involves formation of prostaglandin E2 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… Show more

“…Erythrocytes are very sensitive to ROS due to the high poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) content in the membrane [25]. The pool of ROS can induce oxidative stress and eventually trigger apoptosis that impairs the function of erythrocytes [24,26] and leads to a wide variety of further diseases or clinical conditions [27]. Thus, it is important to protect erythrocytes against oxidative stress and apoptosis.…”

“…Hemin-induced damage of erythrocytes is considered to be largely due to hemolysis [48,49,59,70]. However, several conditions leading to hemolysis have recently been shown to trigger eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes [40]. Hallmarks of eryptosis are scrambling of the erythrocyte membrane and cell shrinkage [40].…”

Hallmarks of eryptosis are scrambling of the erythrocyte membrane and cell shrinkage [40]. The cell membrane scrambling leads to exposure of phosphatidylserine at their surface, which is apparent from annexin V-binding of the erythrocytes [40].…”
