Neuraminidase alters red blood cells in sepsis

Abstract: In sepsis, desialylation under the influence of increased neuraminidase activity may contribute to the alterations in RBC rheology. Inhibition of neuraminidase may represent a new therapeutic option to ameliorate RBC rheology and perhaps oxygen delivery to the cells.

“…Increased neuraminidase activity was previously suggested as the most probable mechanism (20). It was recently shown that neuraminidase activity increases in sepsis which leads to erythrocyte desialylation (35) and that neuraminidase 1, one of the four human neuraminidases, has an important role in the immune response and inflammation (36)(37)(38)(39). However, the present re- sults show that, in contrast to transferrin, total plasma proteins do not show a decrease in their sialylation levels.…”

“…Desialylation of glycans are known to contribute to increased clearance of platelets and von Willebrand factor in bacteria-mediated sepsis models. 38 Consistently, increased sialidase activity in serum is reported in sepsis patients 39 and in rodent CLP sepsis models. 26 Our data showed the increased sialidase in the lymph from CLP mice, which caused desialylation and promoted degradation of PDPN on LECs primarily by MMPs in the lymph.…”

“…In our study, the neutrophil YM in rats does not change, which attests to the absence of the infection impact in experimental group. In sepsis, the erythrocytes acquire a spherical shape [7,9]. In our study, rat erythrocytes had common (biconcave) shape in all groups.…”
