Phenylhydrazine (Phz) is a powerful hemolytic agent which has several effects on both normal and G6PD deficient red blood cells (RBCs). We have studied the mechanism of removal of Phz-damaged human RBCs by murine macrophages. Phagocytosis of Phz-treated RBCs was found to be 50 RBCs/100 mac as compared to 2 RBCs/100 mac of the controls. EGTA and sodium azide inhibited the phagocytosis, indicating a requirement for both calcium ions and energy. Incubation of macrophages with sugars such as D-galactose or D-mannose reduced phagocytosis of Phz-treated RBCs by up to 60%, indicating the involvement of a macrophage lectin-like receptor in the recognition of Phz-treated RBCs. The presence of serum in the phagocytosis assay did not affect either phagocytosis of Phz-treated RBCs or inhibition by sugars. beta-Galactosidase, but not neuraminidase, treatment of RBCs caused a significant inhibition in phagocytosis of Phz-treated RBCs. These results suggest that galactosyl residues are exposed on RBC membrane during oxidation, probably not as a result of desialization. We conclude that Phz-treated RBCs are detected as damaged cells mainly due to sugar changes on their membrane, which are directly recognized by lectin-like receptors on the macrophages.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
