Ca2+ accumulation and loss by aberrant endocytic vesicles in sickle erythrocytes.
    Journal of cellular physiology, 1992, Volume: 152, Issue:1

    Sickle cells contain internal vesicles which accumulate Ca2+. As shown here, the membrane enclosing the vesicles contains the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase, or Ca2+ pump, as judged by staining with an antibody directed against the protein. Moreover, the number of cells containing such vesicles increases upon deoxygenation. These findings argue strongly that the vesicles arise by endocytosis from the plasma membrane, and explain how they accumulate Ca2+. When sickle cells are depleted of ATP, Ca2+ is lost from the vesicles, as judged by the disappearance of staining with the Ca2+/membrane probe chlortetracycline (CTC), without a corresponding loss of antibody staining. This loss of Ca2+ can be inhibited by nitrendipine, a Ca2+ channel blocker. These results suggest that the vesicle membrane allows outward passage of Ca2+ by a nitrendipine-sensitive pathway, which can be overcome by the inward-directed activity of the Ca2+ pump of the vesicle membrane. If so, the Ca2+ which vesicles contain is in dynamic equilibrium with the cytoplasm of the sickle erythrocyte.

Endocytosis in sickle erythrocytes: a mechanism for elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels.
    Journal of cellular physiology, 1986, Volume: 126, Issue:1

    Staining of sickle cells with the fluorescent probes chlortetracycline (a Ca2+ probe) and diindocarbocyanine (a general membrane probe) revealed the presence of Ca2+-containing vesicles which are not found in normal erythrocytes. These vesicles increase in number upon deoxygenation, and are apparently formed by endocytosis, as judged by the use of the extracellular fluorescent probe lucifer yellow. The presence of vesicles is not restricted to any particular morphological or density class of cells in the general population.
