Project description:Splenectomy improves clinical parameters of patients with hereditary spherocytosis but its potential benefit to red blood cell (RBC) morphology and deformability and the mechanism behind remain unknown. We here compared 7 non-splenectomized and 12 splenectomized patients with mutations in the β-spectrin (SPTB) or the ankyrin (ANK1) gene. We showed that hematological parameters, spherocyte abundance, osmotic fragility, intracellular calcium and extracellular vesicle release were largely restored by splenectomy, but cryohemolysis was not. To elucidate the only partial improvement of RBC morphology and deformability by splenectomy, we performed a quantative proteomic analysis and cytoskeleton characterization. Patients exhibited decreased ankyrin and/or β-spectrin contents but the extent of RBC alteration only slightly and negatively correlated with the ankyrin and not with β-spectrin content nor membrane association. In contrast, patients exhibited increased abundance of septins, small GTP-binding cytoskeletal proteins involved in cytokinesis. Among the four septins detected, septins-2,7 and 8 but not 11 were less abundant upon splenectomy and correlated with the disease severity. The septin increase was accompanied by exacerbated oxidative stress especially in the non splenectomized patients. Except cryohemolysis, all the RBC morphology and deformability alterations and oxidative stress correlated with septin content. Impairments can result from RBC maturation defects since endoplasmic reticulum remnants were found in RBCs from non-splenectomized patients and lysosomal and mitochondrial remnants in splenectomised patients. The correlation between septin abundance and disease severity opens the way towards using septins as disease biomarkers. Moreover, the absence of restoration of septin-independent cryohemolysis by splenectomy could question its systematic recommendation

The non-coding RNome after splenectomy.

Project description:Splenectomy is a common surgical procedure performed in millions of people worldwide. Epidemiologic data show that splenectomy is followed by infectious (sepsis) and non-infectious complications, with unknown mechanisms. In order to explore the role of the non-coding transcripts involved in these complications, we analysed a panel of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), which were previously reported to be deregulated in sepsis, in the plasma of splenectomized patients. MiR-223 was overexpressed immediately and late after splenectomy, while miR-146a was overexpressed immediately after splenectomy, returning latter to basal levels; and miR-16, miR-93, miR-26a and miR-26b were overexpressed only late after splenectomy, suggesting similarities with sepsis. We also explored the non-coding (nc)RNome of circulating peripheral blood leucocytes by performing a ncRNA full genome profiling. We observed a reorganization of the ncRNoma after splenectomy, characterized by up-regulation of miRNAs and down-regulation of transcribed pyknons (T-PYKs). Pathway analysis revealed that deregulated miRNAs control pathways involved in immunity, cancer and endothelial growth. We checked the expression of the ncRNAs in 15 immune cell types from healthy donors and observed that plasma miRNAs, cellular miRNAs and T-PYKs have a cell-specific expression pattern and are abundant in different types of immune cells. These findings suggest that the ncRNAs potentially regulate the immune changes observed after splenectomy.

Effect of splenectomy on liver regeneration after 70% resection in a mouse model.

Project description:In this work, the effect of splenectomy on liver regeneration was studied. For this purpose in 1 series of experiments the animals were reproduced splenectomy, and after 7 days 70% liver resection was performed. It was found that spleen removal leads to a decrease in the migration of Ly6C+ monocytes into the regenerating liver. Using transcriptional analysis it was shown that spleen and peripheral blood monocytes differ in the expression of genes associated with the synthesis of surface receptors necessary for cell migration. The obtained data explain the reason for the preferential migration of spleen monocytes rather than peripheral blood monocytes into the regenerating liver.
