Deformability characteristics of sickle cells by microelastimetry.

Abstract:

:Deformability of normal and sickle erythrocytes was measured by means of micropipette elastimetry with determination of intrinsic membrane rigidity (P) and total cell deformability (Pt). In the elastimetric technique employed, negative pressure at the pipette tip was generated and measured continuously. Membrane rigidity is defined as the negative pressure, in mm H2O, required to induce a hemispherical projection of the cell surface into the micropipette, and total cell deformability as the negative pressure required to aspirate the entire cell into the pipette lumen. Membrane rgidity for oxygenated sickle discocytes was not statistically different from that of control normal discocytes, but Pt measurements were significantly higher for sickle than normal discocytes. Irreversibly sickled cells (ISCs) had markedly increased membrane rigidity and whole cell deformability when compared to control normal cells. Mildly deformed ISCs and severely deformed ISCs at ambient pO2, both showed significantly higher mean membrane rigidity values than sickle discocytes and reversibly sickled cells. Sickle and normal discocytes both showed membrane elasticity with reversion to original cell shape following release of the cell from its aspirated position at the pipette tip. ISCs, however, exhibited elastic deformation of the membrane. These studies provide further evidence of progressive alteration of the sickle cell membrane induced by the sickling-unsickling process, culminating in formation of the ISC, and suggest a role for the ISC membrane abnormality in the pathologic rheology of sickle cell disease.
