Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Geldanamycin, a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic, and its analogues induce apoptosis of tumor cells and are thus considered for the treatment of cancer. Similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by cell shrinkage and by cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine-exposure at the erythrocyte surface. Triggers of eryptosis include increase of cytosolic Ca(2+)-concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) and formation of ceramide. The present study explored, whether geldanamycin modifies [Ca(2+)]i, ceramide formation, cell volume and phosphatidylserine abundance at the erythrocyte surface. METHODS: Erythrocyte volume was estimated from forward scatter, phosphatidylserine-abundance from annexin V binding, hemolysis from hemoglobin release, ceramide formation from binding of fluorescent antibodies and [Ca(2+)]i from Fluo3-fluorescence. RESULTS: A 48 hours exposure to geldanamycin significantly decreased forward scatter (≥ 5 µM), significantly increased annexin-V-binding (≥ 25 µM), but did not significantly modify Fluo3-fluorescence (up to 50 µM). The annexin-V-binding following geldanamycin treatment was not significantly modified by removal of extracellular Ca(2+) but was paralleled by significantly increased ceramide formation (50 µM). CONCLUSIONS: Geldanamycin stinulated eryptosis, an effect at least partially due to ceramide formation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
