Storage of Erythrocytes Induces Suicidal Erythrocyte Death
Background/Aims: Similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells, red blood cells (RBC) can undergo suicidal cell death - called eryptosis. It is characterized by cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine translocation.

Abstract Background Acute pain transfusion reaction (APTR) is a rare, under‐recognized condition of unknown etiology. It can cause significant distress in recipients, necessitating symptomatic management and, occasionally, hospitalization. Study Design and Methods Here, we present an APTR event in an adult subject with transfusion‐dependent thalassemia

Sulindac Sulfide Induced Stimulation of Eryptosis [PDF]
Sulindac sulfide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), stimulates apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus effective against malignancy. In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may undergo eryptosis, an apoptosis-like suicidal erythrocyte death, characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine-

Eryptosis is the stress-induced RBC (red blood cell) death mechanism. It is known that eryptosis is largely influenced by plasma and blood composition, and that it is accelerated in patients affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study

Stimulation of Hemolysis and Eryptosis by β-Caryophyllene Oxide
Background: Eryptosis stimulated by anticancer drugs can lead to anemia in patients. β-caryophyllene oxide (CPO) is an anticancer sesquiterpene present in various plants; however, its effect on the structure and function of human red blood cells (RBCs) remains unexplored.

Carmustine-Induced Phosphatidylserine Translocation in the Erythrocyte Membrane
The nitrosourea alkylating agent, carmustine, is used as chemotherapeutic drug in several malignancies. The substance triggers tumor cell apoptosis. Side effects of carmustine include myelotoxicity with anemia.

It is hypothesized that the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate (IS) plays a role in the pathogenesis of renal anemia. To further explore that hypothesis, we examined the effects of IS on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, levels of reduced glutathione ...

Eryptosis: Programmed Death of Nucleus-Free, Iron-Filled Blood Cells
Human erythrocytes are organelle-free cells packaged with iron-containing hemoglobin, specializing in the transport of oxygen. With a total number of approximately 25 trillion cells per individual, the erythrocyte is the most abundant cell type not only ...

Abstract Chronic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion sustains patients with diverse hematologic disorders, but repeated transfusion leads to iron overload and alloimmunization. Reducing transfusion burden requires identifying donor units that circulate more effectively after storage, yet determinants of this variability remain incompletely defined.

Estramustine-Induced Suicidal Erythrocyte Death
Background: The nitrogen mustard derivative of estradiol-17β-phosphate estramustine is used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Estramustine may trigger suicidal death of cancer cells. Side effects of estramustine include anemia.
