TABLE 2.

Changes in RBC deformability, adhesivity, and export of the vasoactive mediators ATP and S-nitrosothiols in sickle cell disease, RBC storage or transfusion, and sepsis.

Disease or condition

Sickle cell disease RBC transfusion/RBC storage lesion Sepsis
RBC function
RBC deformability ↓, especially when sickled (Alapan et al., 2014; Huisjes et al., 2018) ↓ progressive over weeks (Bennett-Guerrero et al., 2007; Barshtein et al., 2016) ↓ (Powell et al., 1993; Baskurt et al., 1998)
ATP content ATP export ↓ (Sabina et al., 2009) ↓ (unpublished observations, TJM and M. Telen) ↓ (both) progressive over weeks (Valeri and Hirsch, 1969; Zhu et al., 2011) ↓ (Bateman et al., 2015; Lopez Domowicz et al., 2019) ↓ (Bateman et al., 2015; Lopez Domowicz et al., 2019)
SNO content ↓ (Pawloski et al., 2005) ↓ within hours (Bennett-Guerrero et al., 2007; Reynolds et al., 2007) (Jourd’heuil et al., 2000; Crawford et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2004; Doctor et al., 2005)
SNO export or vasoactivity ↓ (Pawloski et al., 2005) within hours (Bennett-Guerrero et al., 2007; Reynolds et al., 2007) (Crawford et al., 2004)
RBC adhesivity ↑ (Hebbel, 1997; Zennadi et al., 2004) ↑ (Anniss and Sparrow, 2007; Zhu et al., 2011) ↑ by LPS (Eichelbrönner et al., 2003)
