Hematopoietic stem cells surrender organelles during differentiation, leaving mature red blood cells (RBC) devoid of transcriptional machinery and mitochondria. The resultant absence of cellular repair capacity limits RBC circulatory longevity, and old cells are removed from circulation. The specific age-dependent alterations required for this apparently targeted removal of RBC, however, remain elusive. Here, we assessed the function of Piezo1, a stretch-activated transmembrane cation channel, within subpopulations of RBC isolated based on physical properties associated with aging. We subsequently investigated the potential role of Piezo1 in RBC removal, using pharmacological and mechanobiological approaches. Dense (old) RBC were separated from whole blood using differential density centrifugation. Tolerance of RBC to mechanical forces within the physiological range was assessed on single-cell and cell population levels. Expression and function of Piezo1 were investigated in separated RBC populations by monitoring accumulation of cytosolic Ca2+ and changes in cell morphology in response to pharmacological Piezo1 stimulation and in response to physical forces. Despite decreased Piezo1 activity with increasing cell age, tolerance to prolonged Piezo1 stimulation declined sharply in older RBC, precipitating lysis. Cell lysis was immediately preceded by an acute reversal of density. We propose a Piezo1-dependent mechanism by which RBC may be removed from circulation: Upon adherence of these RBC to other tissues, they are uniquely exposed to prolonged mechanical forces. The resultant sustained activation of Piezo1 leads to a net influx of Ca2+, overpowering the Ca2+-removal capacity of specifically old RBC, which leads to reversal of ion gradients, dysregulated cell hydration, and ultimately osmotic lysis.
