Objective: Iron overload is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of multiple disorders including the sideroblastic anemias. The specific iron compounds present in tissues or cells that are the target of iron deposition remain poorly understood, but there is evidence that some forms are magnetically active. We have developed a simple and specific method to purify iron-overloaded red blood cells using magnetic affinity columns.

SOD2 is an antioxidant protein that protects cells against mitochondrial superoxide. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) lacking SOD2 are capable of rescuing lethally irradiated hosts, but reconstituted animals display a persistent hemolytic anemia characterized by increased oxidative damage to red cells, with morphologic similarity to human "sideroblastic" anemia. We report further characterization of this novel SOD2-deficiency anemia.

A dog with myelodysplastic syndrome had microcytic hypochromic anemia, with siderocytes, poikilocytosis, hypersegmented neutrophils and giant platelets in peripheral blood. In bone marrow, the erythroid series showed immaturity, asynchronous maturation and sideroblasts. Dysgranulopoiesis and dysthrombopoiesis also were present, and hemosiderin was increased.

Megakaryocytes in normal dogs have a variety of nuclear forms. The most common variations are a single large multilobed nucleus or a segmented nucleus consisting of irregular nuclear lobes joined by strands of chromatin. Exaggerated segmentation (hypersegmentation) of the nucleus occurs in a small number of megakaryocytes.

Dyserythropoiesis characterized by enhanced intramedullary destruction, pathologic sideroblasts and siderocytes, and hemoglobin crystallization was detected in a female Cocker Spaniel presented for poor exercise tolerance. Examination of peripheral blood revealed intraerythrocytic crystals, granulation of erythrocytes, nucleated erythroid cells, reticulocytosis and marked variation in erythrocyte morphology in the absence of anemia. Bone marrow examination revealed sideroblasts, a low M:E ratio and evidence of enhanced intramedullary destruction of erythroid cells.
