    Abstract: We have found a sickling variant, Hb S Antilles, alpha 2 beta 2(6 Glu----Val, 23 Val----Ile), that has the same electrophoretic mobility as Hb S but a distinct isoelectric focus and produces sickling in the carriers of the Hb A/S Antilles trait. The carriers' erythrocytes tend to sickle at O2 partial pressures similar to those that induce sickling in Hb S/C disease. Pure deoxy-Hb S Antilles is 50% as soluble as deoxy-Hb S (saturating concentration = 11 g X dl-1 compared to 18.4 for Hb S). Dilute solutions of pure Hb S Antilles have a lower oxygen affinity than those of Hb A or Hb S (partial pressure for 50% binding is 9 mm Hg compared to 5.5 mm Hg for Hb A or S at pH 7.00). A/S Antilles erythrocytes have a much lower oxygen affinity than A/S cells; this is further decreased in dense cells fractionated on a Percoll density gradient. Their oxygen equilibrium curves had anomalous shapes like those of S/S cells. Fiber formation in the erythrocytes of Hb S Antilles carriers is clearly due to its low solubility and oxygen affinity, showing that heterozygosity for this hemoglobin presents another sickle cell syndrome and suggesting that Hb S heterozygotes who exhibit symptoms of sickle cell disease should be carefully screened for double mutations.

    Inhibition of K+ efflux and dehydration of sickle cells by [(dihydroindenyl)oxy]alkanoic acid: an inhibitor of the K+ Cl- cotransport system.

    Abstract: [(Dihydroindenyl)oxy]alkanoic acid (DIOA) was recently introduced as a potent inhibitor of the K+Cl- cotransport system without side effects on other cation transport systems [Garay, R. P., Nazaret, C., Hannaert, P.A. & Cragoe, E. J., Jr. (1988) Mol. Pharmacol. 33, 696-701]. In sickle cells, an abnormal activation of this K+Cl- cotransport system was proposed to be involved in cell K+ loss and dehydration. We found that DIOA inhibited the abnormal sickle cell K+ loss and specifically reduced sickle cell density upon stimulation of the net outward K+Cl- cotransport--i.e., low pH, hypoosmolarity, and activation by N-ethylmaleimide. DIOA opens another therapeutic approach to sickle cell disease by inhibiting cell dehydration, which favors HbS polymerization and reduces erythrocyte deformability.
