Alteration of red cell membrane viscoelasticity by heat treatment: effect on cell deformability and suspension viscosity.

Abstract:

:The membrane shear elastic modulus (mu) and the time constant for extensional shape recovery (tc) were measured for normal, control human red blood cells (RBC) and for RBC heat treated (HT) at 48 degrees C. Three separate methods for the measurement of mu were compared (two used a micropipette and one employed a flow channel), and the membrane viscosity (n) was calculated from the relation n = mu. tc. The deformability of HT and control cells was evaluated using micropipette techniques, and the bulk viscosity of RBC suspensions at 40% hematocrit was measured. The shear elastic modulus, or "membrane rigidity", was more than doubled by heat treatment, although both the absolute value for mu and the estimate of the increase induced by heat treatment varied depending on the method of measurement. Heat treatment caused smaller increases in membrane viscosity and in membrane bending resistance, and only minimal changes in cell geometry. The deformability of HT cells was reduced: 1) the pressure required for cell entry (Pe) into 3 micrometers pipettes was increased, on average, by 170%; 2) at an aspiration pressure (Pa) exceeding Pe, longer times were required for cell entry into the same pipettes. However, when Pa was scaled relative to the mean entry pressure for a given sample (i.e, Pa/Pe), entry times were similar for control and HT cells. Bulk viscosity of HT RBC suspensions was elevated by approximately 12% on average (shear rates 75 to 1500 inverse seconds). These findings suggest that alteration of RBC membrane mechanical properties, similar to those induced by heat treatment, would most affect the in vivo circulation in regions where vessel dimensions are smaller than cellular diameters.
