Deformation-induced ATP release from red blood cells requires CFTR activity

Abstract

Recently, it was reported that rabbit and human red blood cells (RBCs) release ATP in response to mechanical deformation. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the activity of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a member of the ATP binding cassette, is required for deformation-induced ATP release from RBCs. Incubation of rabbit RBCs with either of two inhibitors of CFTR activity, glibenclamide (10 μM) or niflumic acid (20 μM), resulted in inhibition of deformation-induced ATP release. To demonstrate the contribution of CFTR to deformation-induced ATP release from human RBCs, cells from healthy humans, patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), or patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) unrelated to CF were studied. RBCs of healthy humans and COPD patients released ATP in response to mechanical deformation. In contrast, deformation of RBCs from patients with CF did not result in ATP release. We conclude that deformation-induced ATP release from rabbit and human RBCs requires CFTR activity, suggesting a previously unrecognized role for CFTR in the regulation of vascular resistance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
