Large red cell-derived membrane particles are major contributors to hypercoagulability in sickle cell disease

Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common inherited single gene disorders. Polymerisation of sickle hemoglobin results in erythrocytes that are inflexible and adherent, leading to coagulation, vascular and cellular activation and resultant blood vessel blockage. Previous studies h...

Polymerisation of sickle hemoglobin results in erythrocytes that are inflexible and adherent, leading to coagulation, vascular and cellular activation and resultant blood vessel blockage.

Electron micrographs confirmed the heterogenous nature of the RCDP detected. All MaV are decorated with prothrombotic phosphatidylserine (PS) and their removal from plasma lengthened clotting times by more than three-fold. Removal of all right side-out RCDP from SCD patient plasma samples resulted in a seven-fold increase in clotting time. These results indicate that MaV comprise a large area of prothrombotic membrane and are thus major contributors to hypercoagulation in SCD.
