Erythrocyte Membrane
TPEN (20 mM), a chelator for Zn2þ, Fe2þ and Mn2þ, abolished the effects of Zn2þ (Fig. 1A). PubMed:29544683
The Zn2þ (20 mM)-induced expression of PS on erythrocytes, which was inhibited by TPEN, was not observed by other divalent cations, including Mg2þ and Ca2þ (Fig. 2A). PubMed:29544683

TPEN also inhibited erythrocyte adhesion, but the effect at 20 mM was weaker compared to that in the HRG (100 mg/mL)- treatment group. PubMed:29544683
Eryptosis is the apoptotic-like suicidal process of erythrocytes, and is characterized by cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine (PS) expression on the outer membrane. PubMed:29544683
