Erythrocyte membrane bound and plasma sialic acid during aging
Abstract: Sialic acid, a nine-carbon sugar, is an acetylated derivative of neuraminic acid predominantly found in vertebrates, a few higher invertebrates, and certain types of bacteria. Red blood cells (RBCs) have a net negative surface charge and this bulk charge is due to ionized sialic acid. Decreased surface charge and sialic acid content have been reported in older erythrocytes, and it is postulated that the decreased electro-negativity may be related to cell senescence. In the present study we report the RBC and plasma sialic acid content during aging in rats. Our results show a significant decrease in RBC sialic acid content and increase in plasma sialic acid as a function of rat aging. The decreased sialic acid in erythrocyte membrane with increasing rat age presents a good biomarker of the aging process. The elevated plasma sialic acid may be a manifestation of several factors including increased expression of acute phase proteins and increased damage to various organs.
