We have recently developed a method to measure the relationship between the formation of intracellular polymerized Hb S and cell filtration. In this study, we have used this method to examine whether sickle cell morphology, independent of Hb S polymer fraction, had an effect on cell rheology. We primarily use sickle trait (AS) and Hb S\u2010\u03b2<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\u2010thalassemia (S\u2010\u03b2<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\u2010thal) erythrocytes with low hemoglobin F levels, which have normal membranes and few or no dense cells, to remove these confounding effects. We find that the relationship between filtration and the percentages of each \u201ctype\u201d of morphological deformation of AS erythrocytes was different from that of the S\u2010\u03b2<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\u2010thal erythrocytes. In addition, we find that while the filtration of AS erythrocytes as a function of oxygen saturation was similar, whether measured during deoxygenation or reoxygenation, the relationship between the percentages of each type of deformed erythrocyte and oxygen saturation demonstrated hysteresis during oxygenation\u2010deoxygenation experiments. Transmission electron microscopy, for both elongated and irregularly shaped cells, showed that similarly distorted cells could have very different amounts and alignment of polymer. These results suggests that cell morphology per se is not strongly related to filtration, whereas calculated intracellular Hb S polymer fraction predicts loss of filtration of AS and S\u2010\u03b2<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\u2010thal erythrocytes well. Measured or calculated polymer fraction values would appear to be a better parameter for the study of sickle cell disease pathophysiology and response to treatment than cell morphology studies. \u00a91995 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajh.2830480105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,21]],"date-time":"2007-02-21T13:57:05Z","timestamp":1172066225000},"page":"19-28","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Sickle cell rheology is determined by polymer fraction\u2013not cell morphology"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Hiruma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Constance Tom","family":"Noguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nobuhiro","family":"Uyesaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Setsuo","family":"Hasegawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.
