The Difference

(1) Background: The aim of the present study was to compare oxygen gradient ektacytometry parameters between sickle cell patients of different genotypes (SS, SC, and S/β+) or under different treatments (hydroxyurea or chronic red blood cell exchange). (2) Methods: Oxygen gradient ektacytometry was performed in 167 adults and children at steady state. In addition, five SS patients had oxygenscan measurements at steady state and during an acute complication requiring hospitalization. (3) Results: Red blood cell (RBC) deformability upon deoxygenation (EImin) and in normoxia (EImax) was increased, and the susceptibility of RBC to sickle upon deoxygenation was decreased in SC patients when compared to untreated SS patients older than 5 years old. SS patients under chronic red blood cell exchange had higher EImin and EImax and lower susceptibility of RBC to sickle upon deoxygenation compared to untreated SS patients, SS patients younger than 5 years old, and hydroxyurea-treated SS and SC patients. The susceptibility of RBC to sickle upon deoxygenation was increased in the five SS patients during acute complication compared to steady state, although the difference between steady state and acute complication was variable from one patient to another. (4) Conclusions: The present study demonstrates that oxygen gradient ektacytometry parameters are affected by sickle cell disease (SCD) genotype and treatment.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a severe genetic disorder caused by a mutation in hemoglobin (b6Glu-Val), which allows the mutant hemoglobin to assemble into long polymers when deoxygenated. Over time, these polymers build up and deform red blood cells, leading to hemolytic anemia, vaso-occlusion, and end organ damage. A number of recent therapies for SCD have focused on modulating the mutant hemoglobin directly, however, reduction or elimination of 2,3-DPG to reduce Hb S polymerization and RBC sickling has recently been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for SCD. Current clinical studies focus on activation of pyruvate kinase to reduce 2,3-DPG, however, direct targeting of the enzyme which produces 2,3-DPG; Bisphosphoglycerate Mutase (BPGM) may also be possible. In this study we evaluate the impact of elimination of 2,3-DPG on SCD pathology by complete knockout of BPGM in Townes model mice. Animals with complete knockout of BPGM (BPGM -/-) have no detectable 2,3-DPG, while animals that are heterozygous for BPGM (BPGM -/+) have 2,3-DPG levels comparable to Townes mice. Western Blot analysis confirms that BPGM -/- animals completely lack BPGM, while BPGM -/+ animals have BPGM levels that are nearly equivalent to Townes mice. As expected from the lack of 2,3-DPG, BPGM -/- animals have increased oxygen affinity, observed as a 39% decrease in p50 relative to Townes mice. Complete elimination of 2,3-DPG has significant effects on markers of hemolytic anemia in BPGM -/- mice. Mice lacking 2,3-DPG have a 60% increase in hemoglobin (3.7 g/dL), a 53% increase in red blood cell count, and a 29% increase in hematocrit relative to Townes mice. The BPGM -/- mice also have a 57% decrease in reticulocytes, and a 61% decrease in spleen weight relative to Townes animals, consistent with decreased extramedullary hematopoiesis. Consistent with the reduction in hemolysis, BPGM -/- animals had a 59% reduction in red blood cell sickling under robust hypoxic conditions. BPGM -/+ animals had hemoglobin, RBC, and hematocrit levels that were similar to Townes animals, and a similar degree of RBC sickling to Townes mice. Liver phenotype was similar across all variants, with areas of random necrosis observed in BPGM -/-, BPGM -/+ and Townes mice. Higher percentages of microcytic and/or hyperchromic RBCs were observed in BPGM -/- animals relative to BPGM -/+ or Townes animals. These results suggest that modulation of 2,3-DPG has a positive effect on RBC sickling and hemolytic anemia, which may have therapeutic benefits for SCD patients. However, the lack of improvement in organ damage suggests that modulation of 2,3-DPG alone may not be sufficient for complete elimination of SCD phenotypes, and further investigation of this therapeutic avenue may be necessary.

Abstract Red blood cell transfusions have reduced morbidity and mortality for patients with sickle cell disease. Transfusions can lead to erythrocyte alloimmunization, however, with serious complications for the patient including life-threatening delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions and difficulty in finding compatible units, which can cause transfusion delays. In this review, we discuss the risk factors associated with alloimmunization with emphasis on possible mechanisms that can trigger delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions in sickle cell disease, and we describe the challenges in transfusion management of these patients, including opportunities and emerging approaches for minimizing this life-threatening complication.
