Monovalent cation leaks in human red cells caused by single amino-acid substitutions in the transport domain of the band 3 chloride-bicarbonate exchanger, AE1.
    Nature genetics, 2005, Volume: 37, Issue:11

    We identified 11 human pedigrees with dominantly inherited hemolytic anemias in both the hereditary stomatocytosis and spherocytosis classes. Affected individuals in these families had an increase in membrane permeability to Na and K that is particularly marked at 0 degrees C. We found that disease in these pedigrees was associated with a series of single amino-acid substitutions in the intramembrane domain of the erythrocyte band 3 anion exchanger, AE1. Anion movements were reduced in the abnormal red cells. The 'leak' cation fluxes were inhibited by SITS, dipyridamole and NS1652, chemically diverse inhibitors of band 3. Expression of the mutated genes in Xenopus laevis oocytes induced abnormal Na and K fluxes in the oocytes, and the induced Cl transport was low. These data are consistent with the suggestion that the substitutions convert the protein from an anion exchanger into an unregulated cation channel.

Stimulation of K-C1 cotransport in rat red cells by a hemolytic anemia-producing metabolite of dapsone.
    The American journal of physiology, 1989, Volume: 256, Issue:2 Pt 1

    Dapsone, a sulfone compound used in the treatment of leprosy and, more recently, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, produces as a major side effect a hemolytic anemia. This anemia is characterized by oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin and increased splenic uptake of red blood cells. Using a rat model, Grossman and Jollow (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 244: 118-125, 1988) found that dapsone hydroxylamine (DDS-NOH), a dapsone metabolite, is responsible for its hemolytic effect in vivo. DDS-NOH also promotes hemoglobin binding to SH groups on rat red cell membrane proteins (Budinsky et al., FASEB J. 2: A801, 1988). Since the binding of hemoglobin and other reagents (e.g., N-ethylmaleimide) to membrane SH groups has been associated with increased K transport in red blood cells, we examined the effect of DDS-NOH on K efflux from rat red blood cells in vitro. Cells shrink when exposed to DDS-NOH (100 microM) in media with plasma-like ionic composition. This shrinkage is prevented if extracellular K is raised to 110 mM or if intra- and extracellular Cl are replaced by methylsulfate (MeSO4), suggesting involvement of a K-Cl cotransport pathway. Indeed, 100 microM DDS-NOH produces a 4- to 5-fold increase in K efflux in cells containing Cl but less than a 2-fold increase in cells containing MeSO4. This stimulatory effect is specific for K; Na efflux is slightly inhibited by 100 microM DDS-NOH. The concentrations of DDS-NOH required for half-maximal stimulation of Cl-dependent K efflux (53 microM) is similar to its half-maximal hemolytic concentration in rats (approximately 100 microM). Furthermore, the stimulation of Cl-dependent K efflux by DDS-NOH is greater than 80% reversed by subsequent treatment of the cells with dithiothreitol, suggesting involvement of SH groups. Our results indicate that DDS-NOH exposure stimulates an apparent K-Cl cotransport in rat red blood cells, resulting in cell shrinkage under physiological ionic conditions. Since shrinkage of red blood cells renders them less deformable (Mohandas et al., J. Clin. Invest. 66: 563-573, 1980), this suggests a pathophysiological mechanism whereby DDS-NOH exposure in vivo could promote increased splenic uptake of red blood cells and hemolytic anemia.
