Popis: | Vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) occurs more frequently during stress in sickle cell disease patients. Epinephrine released during stress increases adhesion of sickled red blood cells (RBCs) to endothelium and to leukocytes, a process mediated through erythrocyte cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increased adhesion of sickled RBCs retards blood flow through the capillaries and promotes vaso-occlusion. Therefore, we examined the association of RBC-cAMP levels with frequency of acute pain episodes in sickle cell disease subjects. Using a case control study design, we measured RBC-cAMP levels, fetal hemoglobin (Hb F), α-thalassemia (α-thal) and other hematological parameters at baseline (sham treated) and after stimulation with epinephrine. The cases consisted of sickle cell disease subjects with three or more acute pain episodes in the last 12 months, and those without a single acute pain episode in the last 12 months were considered as controls. Significantly higher cAMP values were found in cases than the controls, in both sham treated ( |
