ABSTRACT
As a pattern recognition receptor, CD36 antigen participates in a series of pathophysiological processes, and has well been documented in transfusion medicine. This article reviews the discovery, structure and expression of CD36, the type and frequency of CD36 antigen deletion, as well as the relationship between anti-CD36 and transfusion-related immune diseases.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the correlation between red blood cell lifespan and adhesion molecules on the surface of red blood cell membrane, in order to establish a method to detect the duration of red blood cell storage. 【Methods】 10 samples(10 mL each) of fresh red blood cell, collectedf rom 10 healthy voluntary blood donors, were divided into 5 age groups (layers) by Percoll density gradient centrifugation. The expression of CD47, CD44 and CD147 on the surface of red blood cell membrane in each layer was detected using flow cytometry. The variance of protein expression in each layer of red blood cells was analyzed by SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 The expression levels (%) of 3 adhesion molecules on the surface of red blood cell membranes from young to old were CD47: 14.44±2.61, 9.30±1.75, 7.84±1.49, 6.54±1.32 and 5.53±1.12 (P<0.01); CD44: 25.01±1.94, 19.22±1.52, 17.10±1.28, 15.18±1.11 and 13.56±1.08 (P<0.01); CD147: 33.46±1.99, 28.31±2.95, 23.83±1.59, 20.40±1.56 and 18.03±1.65 (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 The expression levels of CD47, CD44 and CD147 on the surface of red blood cell membranes have showed a downward trend as the storage extended. These three protein adhesion molecules have showed a correlation with red blood cells lifespan, and could be used as detection markers of cell age.
