Eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes, is characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine exposure at the erythrocyte surface. Eryptosis is triggered by increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration upon energy depletion. The present study explored the involvement of leukotrienes. Western blotting was employed to detect the cysteinyl-leukotriene receptor cysLT1, competitive immune assay to determine leukotriene release from erythrocytes, Fluo3 fluorescence to estimate cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, forward scatter to analyse cell volume and annexin V-binding to disclose phosphatidylserine exposure. As a result, erythrocytes expressed the leukotriene receptor CysLT1. Glucose depletion (24 hours) significantly increased the formation of the cysteinyl-leukotrienes C4/D4/E4. Leukotriene C4 (10 nM) increased Ca2+ entry, decreased forward scatter, activated caspases 3 and 8, and stimulated annexin V-binding. Glucose depletion similarly increased annexin V-binding, an effect significantly blunted in the presence of the leukotriene receptor antagonist cinalukast (1 µM) or the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor BW B70C (1 µM). In conclusion, upon energy depletion erythrocytes form leukotrienes, which in turn activate cation channels, leading to Ca2+ entry, cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling. Cysteinyl-leukotrienes thus participate in the signaling of eryptosis during energy depletion.
