Activated neutrophils (ANs) increase sickle red blood cell (SRBC) retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation. This study investigates the role of neutrophil activation and SRBC retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation through a mechanism that involves increasing phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the external membrane surface of the SRBCs (PS-exposed). With the use of flow cytometry, double-labeling studies were performed with a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate fluorescence, and the erythroid-specific marker glycophorin A to assess for the percentage of PS-exposed normal and SRBCs at baseline and after coincubation with ANs. Additional studies were performed that assessed retention/adhesion of SRBCs in the isolated rat lung using51Cr-labeled SRBC alone, SRBC + AN, SRBC + AN + zileuton, and SRBC + AN + annexin V. Specific activities of lung and perfusate were measured, and the number of retained SRBCs per gram lung was calculated. Flow cytometry demonstrated that ANs increased the percentage of PS-exposed normal and SRBCs. The 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton attenuated AN-mediated increases in PS-exposed SRBCs and decreased SRBC retention/adherence in the lung on histological sections. Similarly, in the isolated perfused lung and in histological lung sections, retention/adherence of SRBCs cloaked with annexin V was attenuated in the presence of ANs. We conclude that ANs enhance the adhesion of SRBCs to vascular endothelium by increasing red blood cell membrane externalization of PS. Zileuton attenuation of AN-mediated SRBC PS externalization suggests that a 5-lipoxygenase product(s), secreted by the AN, plays a vital role in altering the adhesive properties of PS-exposed SRBCs to vascular endothelium.

Anion exchanger 1 (AE1) or band 3 is a membrane protein responsible for the rapid exchange of chloride for bicarbonate across the red blood cell membrane. Nine mutations leading to single amino-acid substitutions in the transmembrane domain of AE1 are associated with dominant hereditary stomatocytosis, monovalent cation leaks, and reduced anion exchange activity. We set up a stopped-flow spectrofluorometry assay coupled with flow cytometry to investigate the anion transport and membrane expression characteristics of wild-type recombinant AE1 in HEK293 cells, using an inducible expression system. Likewise, study of three stomatocytosis-associated mutations (R730C, E758K, and G796R), allowed the validation of our method. Measurement of the rapid and specific chloride/bicarbonate exchange by surface expressed AE1 showed that E758K mutant was fully active compared with wild-type (WT) AE1, whereas R730C and G796R mutants were inactive, reinforcing previously reported data on other experimental models. Stopped-flow analysis of AE1 transport activity in red blood cell ghost preparations revealed a 50% reduction of G796R compared with WT AE1 corresponding to a loss of function of the G796R mutated protein, in accordance with the heterozygous status of the AE1 variant patients. In conclusion, stopped-flow led to measurement of rapid transport kinetics using the natural substrate for AE1 and, conjugated with flow cytometry, allowed a reliable correlation of chloride/bicarbonate exchange to surface expression of AE1, both in recombinant cells and ghosts and therefore a fine comparison of function between different stomatocytosis samples. This technical approach thus provides significant improvements in anion exchange analysis in red blood cells.
