Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Gedunin

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2014
Background/Aims: Gedunin, an inhibitor of heat shock protein HSP90, triggers apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus effective against malignancy. Moreover, the drug has antimalarial potency.

Modulation of Autophagy by Ursolic and Betulinic Acids: Distinct Cytotoxic and Membrane‐Disruption in Malignant and Nonmalignant Cells

Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1518-1536, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Autophagy is a critical adaptive mechanism in tumor cells that promotes survival under stress, but when dysregulated, it may trigger programmed cell death. The pentacyclic triterpenoids betulinic acid (BA) and ursolic acid (UA) are structurally related compounds that modulate autophagy; however, comparative insights into their effects on ...

Patulin-Induced Suicidal Erythrocyte Death

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background: Patulin, the most common mycotoxin in apples and apple-derived products, triggers apoptosis and has thus been considered for the treatment of cancer. Similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may enter suicidal death or eryptosis,

Induction of Erythrocyte Shrinkage by Omeprazole

Dose-Response, 2020
Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor blocks the H + /K + -ATPase channels of gastric parietal cells. It is used for the treatment of peptic ulcer. Prolonged use of omeprazole may involve in inducing anemia.

Circulating Erythrocyte‐ and Endothelial‐Derived Microvesicles as Biomarkers of Hemolysis and Clinical Severity in Sickle Cell Disease

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 19, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a monogenic disorder caused by the presence of hemoglobin S (Hb S) and is associated with a wide range of clinical complications, including hemolytic anemia, vaso‐occlusive crises (VOC), and acute chest syndrome (ACS).

Triggering of Suicidal Erythrocyte Death by Celecoxib

Toxins, 2013
The selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib triggers apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus effective against malignancy. The substance is at least partially effective through mitochondrial depolarization.

The Uremic Toxin Acrolein Promotes Suicidal Erythrocyte Death

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2013
Background: Anemia is a major complication of end stage renal disease. The anemia is mainly the result of impaired formation of erythrocytes due to lack of erythropoietin and iron deficiency.

Dapsone‐Induced Heinz Body Hemolytic Anemia: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Patients who develop acute anemia, without evidence of blood loss, should have a hemolysis workup including a medication review in case this could be contributing. In our patient's case, workup was significant for Heinz body hemolytic anemia due to home dapsone. Patient's anemia ultimately resolved with drug cessation.

Sensitization of Erythrocytes to Suicidal Erythrocyte Death Following Water Deprivation

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2013
Background/Aims: Klotho deficiency results in excessive formation of 1,25(OH)2D3, accelerated ageing and early death. Moreover, klotho deficiency enhances eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by phosphatidylserine exposure at the ...

Nonequilibrium Membrane Dynamics Induced by Active Protein Interactions and Chemical Reactions: A Review

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2025.
We discuss the spatiotemporal patterns and nonequilibrium fluctuations of membranes, particularly on theoretical analyses and simulations. Protein active forces enhance or suppress the membrane fluctuations. Active binding/unbinding of proteins can induce traveling waves and Turing patterns accompanied by membrane deformation.
