Abstract Introduction: Human chemerin is an adipokine that regulates chemotaxis, inflammation, and glucose metabolism. In addition, accumulating evidence suggests that chemerin promotes apoptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis. However, there are no data on its impact on eryptosis. The current study aimed to analyze the effects of human active Glu-Ser chemerin on eryptosis in vitro. Materials and Methods: Human chemerin 0-2-10-50 µg/mL was incubated for 24 h with human erythrocytes (hematocrit 0.4%) obtained from eight healthy individuals. Flow cytometry-based determination of phospholipid scrambling, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and intracellular Ca levels was performed. To supplement data on ROS and Ca… More >
