Abstract
The development and use of complex cell-based products in clinical and discovery science continues to grow at an unprecedented pace. To this end, cryopreservation plays a critical role, serving as an enabling process, providing on-demand access to biological material, facilitating large scale production, storage, and distribution of living materials. Despite serving a critical role and substantial improvements over the last several decades, cryopreservation often remains a bottleneck impacting numerous areas including cell therapy, tissue engineering, and tissue banking. Studies have illustrated the impact and benefit of controlling cryopreservation-induced delayed-onset cell death (CIDOCD) through various “front end” strategies, such as specialized media, new cryoprotective agents, and molecular control during cryopreservation. While proving highly successful, a substantial level of cell death and loss of cell function remains associated with cryopreservation. Recently, we focused on developing technologies (RevitalICE™) designed to reduce the impact of CIDOCD through buffering the cell stress response during the post-thaw recovery phase in an effort to improve the recovery of previously cryopreserved samples. In this study, we investigated the impact of modulating apoptotic caspase activation, oxidative stress, unfolded protein response, and free radical damage in the initial 24 h post-thaw on overall cell survival. Human hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro cryopreserved in both traditional extracellular-type and intracellular-type cryopreservation freeze media were utilized as a model cell system to assess impact on survival. Our findings demonstrated that through the modulation of several of these pathways, improvements in cell recovery were obtained, regardless of the freeze media and dimethyl sulfoxide concentration utilized. Specifically, through the use of oxidative stress inhibitors, an average increase of 20% in overall viability was observed. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that by using the post-thaw recovery reagent on samples cryopreserved in intracellular-type media (Unisol™), improvements in overall cell survival approaching 80% of non-frozen controls were attained. While improvements in overall survival were obtained, an assessment on the impact of specific cell subpopulations and functionality remains to be completed. While work remains, these results represent an important step forward in the development of improved cryopreservation processes for use in discovery science, and commercial and clinical settings.

Abstract
High glucose can lead to serious phosphatidylserine exposure of erythrocytes which may influence the protective effect of glucose on lyophilization of erythrocytes. In this study, caspase activation has not occurred during phosphatidylserine exposure of erythrocytes. However, leupeptin can efficiently inhibit phosphatidylserine exposure of erythrocytes induced by high glucose. With increase of the leupeptin concentrations, the percentages of cells with exposed phosphatidylserine were decreased steadily. In addition, trehalose and sucrose can significantly inhibit phosphatidylserine exposure and cell shrinkage of erythrocytes induced by high glucose through increasing tolerance to osmotic shock. When the disaccharide concentrations were more than 100 mM, the percentages of cells with exposed phosphatidylserine were similar to those of control cells. Moreover, addition of disaccharides in the glucose buffer can result in high osmotic pressure which may facilitate uptake of glucose and disaccharides into erythrocytes and higher cellular glucose and disaccharide concentrations can provide more protection for lyophilized erythrocytes. Although disaccharides can increase the osmotolerance and decrease the phosphatidylserine exposure of erythrocytes exposed to high glucose, whether disaccharides can prevent phosphatidylserine exposure of lyophilized erythrocytes still needs further researches.
