Since unstable Hb were considered a source of reactive O2 radicals, and oxidative membrane damage a prehemolytic event, the erythrocyte membranes of 6 patients (3 splenectomized) with Hb Koeln disease were examined. In the H2O2 stress test, the patients'' erythrocytes generated more than twice as much malonyldialdehyde (a lipid peroxidative product) as control erythrocytes. Fluorescence spectra of lipid extracts of the patients'' erythrocytes showed an excitation maximum at 400 nm and an emission maximum of 460 nm, characteristic of malonyldialdehyde lipid adducts. Two types of membrane polypeptide aggregates were found in the erythrocytes of the splenectomized patients. The 1st, which were dissociable by treatment with mercaptoethanol, contained disulfide-linked spectrin, band 3 and globin. The 2nd, not dissociable by mercaptoethanol, had an amino acid composition similar to that of erythrocyte membranes and spectrin (unlike globin) and like that of aggregates produced by the action of malonyldialdehyde on normal erythrocyte membranes. Atomic absorption spectroscopy of Hb Koeln erythrocytes showed no increase in Ca content, implying that these cross-links were not due to Ca-stimulated transglutaminase. Using a micropipette technique, erythrocytes containing membrane aggregates from splenectomized patients were demonstrated to be less deformable while aggregate-free erythrocytes from non-splenectomized patients had normal deformability. The erythrocyte membranes in Hb Koeln disease apparently show evidence of lipid peroxidation with production of malonyldialdehyde, and the nondissociable membrane aggregates formed in this disease are likely cross-linked by malonyldialdehyde. Because the erythrocytes containing membrane aggregates from splenectomized patients with unstable Hb disease show decreased membrane deformability, this abnormality apparently results in premature erythrocyte destruction in vivo.
