Hemoglobin deoxygenation and methemoglobinemia prevent regulatory volume decrease in crucian carp (Carassius carassius) red blood cells.

Abstract:

:Fish red blood cells (RBCs) exhibit an oxygen-dependent regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in hypoosmotic environment. In higher vertebrates, membrane-associated hemoglobin is involved in the regulation of osmotic ion movements across the cellular membrane. However, whether the hemoglobin conformational state plays a role in the regulation of osmotic responses in fish red blood cells is still not fully understood. We found that changes in hemoglobin conformation influence the pattern of the regulatory volume decrease in Carassius carassius red blood cells. In oxygenated cells (96.4 ± 3.7% oxygenated hemoglobin), the volume recovery was completed within 125 min. Deoxygenation of hemoglobin (96.5 ± 2.7% of deoxygenated hemoglobin) inhibited the volume decrease in hyposmotically swollen red blood cells. Reoxygenation restored regulatory volume decrease in cells within 5 min. Induced methemoglobinemia (48.4 ± 1.8% of methemoglobin and 41.3 ± 2.3% of deoxygenated hemoglobin) blocked the process of volume recovery and significantly decreased osmotic stability of red blood cells.
