- W2432837314 abstract "The thalassemias are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by accumulation either of unmatched alpha or beta globin chains. These in turn cause the intramedullary and peripheral hemolysis that leads to varying anemia. A partial explanation for the hemolysis came our of our studies on material properties that showed that beta-thalassemia (beta- thal) intermedia ghosts were very rigid but unstable. A clue to this instability came from the observation that the spectrin/band 3 ratio was low in red blood cells (RBCs) of splenectomized beta-thal intermedia patients. The possible explanations for the apparent decrease in spectrin content included deficient or defective spectrin synthesis in thalassemic erythroid precursors or globin chain-induced membrane changes that lead to spectrin dissociation from the membrane during ghost preparation. To explore the latter alternative, samples from different thalassemic variants were obtained, ie, beta-thal intermedia, HbE/beta-thal, HbH (alpha-thal-1/alpha-thal-2), HbH/Constant Spring (CS), and homozygous HbCS/CS. We searched for the presence of spectrin in the first lysate of the standard ghost preparation. Normal individuals and patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, sickle cell anemia, and anemia due to chemotherapy served as controls. Using gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, no spectrin was detected in identical aliquots of the supernatants of normals and these control samples. Varying amounts of spectrin were detected in the first lysate supernatants of almost all thalassemic patients. The identification of spectrin was confirmed by Western blotting using an affinity-purified, monospecific, rabbit polyclonal antispectrin antibody. Relative amounts of spectrin detected were as follows in decreasing order: splenectomized beta-thal intermedia including HbE/beta-thal; HbCS/CS; nonsplenectomized beta-thal intermedia, HbH/CS; and, lastly, HbH. These findings were generally confirmed when we used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique to measure spectrin in the first lysate. Subsequent analyses showed that small amounts of actin and band 4.1 also appeared in lysates of thalassemic RBCs. Therefore, the three major membrane skeletal proteins are, to a varying degree, unstably attached in severe thalassemia. From these studies we could postulate that membrane association of abnormal or partially oxidized alpha- globin chains has a more deleterious effect on the membrane skeleton than do beta-globin chains." @default.
