Red Blood Cell Shape and Fluctuations: Cytoskeleton Confinement and ATP Activity
Tóm tắt
We review recent theoretical work that analyzes experimental measurements of the shape and fluctuations of red blood cells. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of the cytoskeleton and cell elasticity and we contrast the situation of elastic cells with that of fluid-filled vesicles. In red blood cells (RBCs), the cytoskeleton consists of a two-dimensional network of spectrin proteins. Our analysis of the wave vector and frequency dependence of the fluctuation spectrum of RBCs indicates that the spectrin network acts as a confining potential that reduces the fluctuations of the lipid bilayer membrane. However, since the cytoskeleton is only sparsely connected to the bilayer, one cannot regard the composite cytoskeleton membrane as a polymerized object with a shear modulus. The sensitivity of RBC fluctuations and shapes to ATP concentration may reflect the transient defects induced in the cytoskeleton network by ATP.
