    Notes: In order to evaluate the relationship between glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis and degradation, the effect of NH4Cl, which inhibits lysosomal degradation, on GAG production was analysed in vitro in concanavalin A (Con A) stimulated fibroblasts from 7 and 14-day-old chick embryos. 35SO4 incorporation into total proteoglycan (PG), 3H incorporation into individual GAG classes, β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase and β-D-glucuronidase activity were determined. The results indicate a correlation between Con A and NH4Cl effects: NH4Cl induced a reduction principally in the GAG classes most stimulated by Con A. Thus HA and DS are much more stimulated by Con A and inhibited by NH4Cl than are CS and HS.

    Notes: Hexokinase inactivating antibodies were loaded into human erythrocytes using an encapsulation procedure based on hypotonic haemolysis, isotonic resealing and reannealing. Red blood cells loaded with anti-hexokinase IgG showed 20 percent residual hexokinase activity and reduced glycolytic activity. 9Incubation of these cells in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as terbutyl hydroperoxide (TBH) and then in autologous plasma, promoted opsonization by autologous IgG and complement deposition, but not haemolysis. Furthermore, the antihexokinase IgG loaded cells treated with TBH were actively recognized and phagocytosed by macrophages. Thus, metabolic impairment of human erthrocytes promotes autologous IgG binding, C3 deposition and phagocytosis, a mechanism already reported for the removal of senescent erythrocytes.

    Notes: In addition to the well known effect of phenylhydrazine on red blood cells (methaemoglobin and Heinz body formation, autologous IgG binding, lipid peroxidation, etc.) an increased glucose utilization was observed. Measurement of 14CO2 formation from [1-14C]-glucose showed a maximum value at 2 mM phenylhydrazine followed by a progressive inhibition on increasing the drug concentration to 16 mM. Concomitantly we found a reduction in the reduced glutathione concentration but not a corresponding increase in the level of oxidized glutathione. Phenylhydrazine also causes ATP depletion. The ATP is in part dephosphorylated to ADP and AMP and in part converted to inosine monophosphate and hypoxanthine. Measurement of the cell content of reduced and oxidized pyridine nucleotides was also performed and showed a progressive increase in the reduced forms of these coenzymes. Thus phenylhydrazine promotes cellular ATP depletion followed by adenine nucleotide catabolism that is not efficiently counteracted by an increase in glucose utilization. The relevance of these data to the mechanism of phenylhydrazine-induced anemia is discussed.
