Sickle cell anaemia red cells (SS) were reported to have a high Ca content and an increased Ca uptake on deoxygenation, but their Ca-pump activity was described as normal. This seemed puzzling because the saturated Ca-extrusion rate of the normal, high Ca-affinity Ca pump is about 10 mmol per 1 cells per h (refs 3, 4) and the highest sickling-induced Ca influx reported in SS cells and observed in ATP-depleted sickle-trait (SA) red cells never exceeded 0.2 mmol per 1 cells per h. Normal pump performance is, therefore, incompatible with Ca accumulation unless SS cells have abnormally high Ca-binding capacity. We provide here evidence which suggests that SS cells have normal Ca-buffering capacity and probably genetically normal Ca pumps, but that the sickling process causes progressive Ca-pump failure and a marked reduction in Ca:Ca exchange.
据报道,镰状细胞贫血红细胞(SS)的钙含量很高,脱氧时钙摄取增加,但其钙泵活性被描述为正常。这似乎令人费解,因为正常的高钙亲和力钙泵的饱和钙外排率约为每1个细胞每小时10 mmol(参考文献3、4),而在SS细胞中报道的、在ATP耗尽的镰状性状(SA)红细胞中观察到的最高镰变诱导钙内流从未超过每1个细胞每小时0.2 mmol。因此,除非SS细胞具有异常高的钙结合能力,否则正常的泵功能与钙积累是不相容的。我们在此提供的证据表明,SS细胞具有正常的钙缓冲能力,可能钙泵基因也正常,但镰变过程会导致钙泵逐渐衰竭以及钙:钙交换显著减少。
