Enzymatic Changes in Red Blood Cells of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia
In this study, to confirm the universality of our data, we extended the analysis to seven RBC enzymes and GSH of 14 patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia and performed a cross-analysis study using enzyme activity assay and recently reported proteome data. Statistical analysis revealed that both data exhibited high similarity, upregulation in the hexokinase and pentose-phosphate pathway, and downregulation in glycolytic enzymes such as phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase, in the RBCs obtained from the subjects with Diamond-Blackfan anemia. The only discrepancy between enzyme activity and proteome data was observed in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), as increased G6PD activity showed no relation with the significant elevation in protein levels. These results suggest that our enzymatic activity data of Diamond-Blackfan anemia are universal and that the enzymatic activation of G6PD via a hitherto-unveiled mechanism is another metabolic feature of RBCs of Diamond-Blackfan anemia.PMID:34526430 | DOI:10.1620/tjem.255.49
