The process of NO transfer into erythrocytes
(RBCs) is of critical biological importance because it regulates the
bioavailability and diffusional distance of endothelial-derived NO. It
has been reported that the rate of NO reaction with oxyhemoglobin (Hb) within RBCs is nearly three orders of magnitude slower than that by
equal amounts of free oxyhemoglobin. Consistent with early studies on
oxygen uptake by RBCs, the process of extracellular diffusion was
reported to explain this much lower NO uptake by RBC encapsulated Hb
(Liu, X., Miller, M. J., Joshi, M. S., Sadowska-Krowicka, H., Clark,
D. A., and Lancaster, J. R., Jr. (1998) J. Biol.
Chem. 273, 18709-18713). However, it was subsequently proposed
that the RBC membrane provides the main resistance to NO uptake rather than the process of extracellular diffusion (Vaughn, M. W., Huang, K. T., Kuo, L., and Liao, J. C. (2000) J. Biol.
Chem. 275, 2342-2348). This conclusion was based on competition
experiments that were assumed to be able to determine the rate constant
of NO uptake by RBCs without extracelluar diffusion limitation. To test
the validity of this hypothesis, we theoretically analyzed competition experiments. Here, we show that competition experiments do not eliminate the extracellular diffusion limitation. Simulation of the
competition data indicates that the main resistance to NO uptake by
RBCs is caused by extracellular diffusion in the unstirred layer
surrounding each RBC but not by the RBC membrane. This
extracellular diffusion resistance is responsible for preventing
interference of NO signaling in the endothelium without the need for
special NO uptake by intracellular hemoglobin or a unique membrane
resistance mechanism.
