Cytokinins are plant hormones that regulate cell growth and differentiation. In particular, zeatin (ZTN) delays cellular senescence of human fibroblasts and keratinocytes and exhibits anticancer activity. Chemotherapy-induced anemia is a major side effect of anticancer therapy secondary to premature senescence of red blood cells (RBCs).

Nanostructured materials have been suggested to be used as a source of dietary zinc for livestock animals. In this study, we assessed the cytotoxicity of newly synthesized nanostructured zinc carbonate hydroxide (ZnCH) Zn(CO)(OH)microflakes. Cytotoxicity of the microflakes was assessed against murine L929 cell line and rat mature erythrocytes.

Objective: The agricultural herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D) is cytotoxic to human red blood cells (RBCs) by virtue of oxidative hemolysis. Nevertheless, there remains a great paucity of literature detailing the mechanisms by which 2,4-D triggers hemolysis. Also, the eryptotic effects of 2,4-D has thus far been largely overlooked.

Anticancer drugs cause anemia in patients through eryptosis and hemolysis. We thus studied the in vitro toxicity of galangin (GAL) in red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs were exposed to 50-500 μM of GAL and analyzed for markers of eryptosis and hemolysis.

Background And Hypothesis: In patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), the lifespan of red blood cells (RBC) is often shortened, a condition attributed to the "uremic milieu." We reported recently that the uremic solute 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionate (CMPF) shares structural similarities with Jedi1, a chemical activator of the mechanosensitive cation channel Piezo1, whose activation increases calcium influx into cells. Against this backdrop, we hypothesized that CMPF may induce premature RBC death (eryptosis) through prolonged CMPF-induced activation of Piezo1 located on RBC.
