abstract = {The core neuroacanthocytosis syndromes, i.e.,
chorea-acanthocytosis/VPS13A disease (ChAc) and McLeod
syndrome/XK disease (MLS), are respectively due to mutations
in VPS13A and XK genes and share similar manifestations
including the formation of acanthocytes. We previously
showed by lipidomics of red blood cells (RBCs) from ChAc
patients slight lipid changes compared to healthy controls.
We here evaluated the consequences for RBC morphology,
deformability, cytoskeleton and membrane lipid transversal
and lateral distribution in five patients with ChAc and two
patients with MLS. Compared to healthy donors, the two
patient cohorts showed a strong increase of abnormal RBCs
including acanthocytes and spheroechinocytes, a decrease in
RBC projected surface area and deformability, and a rise in
spectrin density. The abundance of cholesterol-enriched
domains and the proportion of RBCs with ceramide-enriched
patches were also increased while phosphatidylserine surface
exposure was slightly decreased. In contrast, the abundance
of sphingomyelin-enriched domains was poorly affected. At
the individual level, patients showing the highest
cholesterol-enriched domain abundance exhibited the highest
number of RBCs with ceramide-enriched patches, compatible
with RBC maturation defects, whereas patient RBCs exhibiting
the highest spectrin membrane density showed the strongest
loss of RBC projected surface area and the lowest abundance
of sphingomyelin-enriched domains, consistent with RBC
membrane alterations. Our study indicated that abnormal RBCs
were associated with lipid distribution and cytoskeleton
impairments, which appeared to result from both RBC
maturation defects and membrane alterations. Moreover, the
extent of lipid distribution alteration is well correlated
with laboratory parameters typically altered in
neuroacanthocytosis and could present an added value in
neuroacanthocytosis syndrome evaluation.},
