DHEA prevents ribavirin-induced anemia via inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

Résumé

Ribavirin has been widely used for antiviral therapy. Unfortunately, ribavirin-induced anemia is often a cause of limiting or interrupting treatment. Our team has observed that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has a protective effect against in vitro and in vivo ribavirin-induced hemolysis. The aim of this study was to better understand this effect as well as the underlying mechanism(s). DHEA was able to reduce in vitro intraerythrocytic ATP depletion induced by ribavirin. Only 1% of ATP remained after incubation with ribavirin (2 mM) at 37 degrees C for 24 h vs. 37% if DHEA (200 mu M) was added (p < 0.01). DHEA also helped erythrocytes conserve their size, with a shrinkage of only 10% vs 40% at 24 h with ribavirin alone (p < 0.01), and reduced phosphatidylserine exposure at the outer membrane, i.e. 27% vs 40% at 48 h, (p < 0.05). DHEA also inhibits ribavirin-induced hemolysis, i.e. 34% vs 46.5% at 72 h (p < 0.01). DHEA is an inhibitor of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), a key enzyme in the hexose monophosphate shunt connected to the glycolytic pathway which is the only energy supplier of the red blood cell in the form of ATP. We have confirmed this inhibitory effect in the presence of ribavirin. All these observations suggest that ribavirin-induced hemolysis was initiated by ATP depletion, and that the inhibitory effect of DHEA on G6PD was able to rescue enough ATP to limit this hemolysis. This mechanism could be important for improving the therapeutic management of patients treated with ribavirin. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
