Abstract
Pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) such as Mirasol and Intercept were developed to eliminate transfusion-transmitted infections. The impact of PRTs on platelet function during the storage period, their effect on platelet storage lesions, and the optimal storage duration following PRTs have not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to systematically review the existing literature and investigate the impact of PRTs on functional alterations of PRT-treated platelets during the storage period. The authors identified 68 studies suitable to be included in this review. Despite the high heterogeneity in the literature, the results of the published studies indicate that PRTs may increase platelet metabolic activity, accelerate cell apoptosis, and enhance platelet activation, which can subsequently lead to a late exhaustion of activation potential and reduced aggregation response. However, these effects have a minor impact on platelet function during the early storage period and become more prominent beyond the fifth day of the storage period. Large in vivo trials are required to evaluate the effectiveness of PRT-treated platelets during the storage period and investigate whether their storage can be safely extended to more than 5 days, and up to the traditional 7-day storage period.

In Vitro Comparative Study of Platelets Treated with Two Pathogen-Inactivation Methods to Extend Shelf Life to 7 Days. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11030343. [PMID: 35335667 PMCID: PMC8949436 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11030343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Since 2015, platelet products have been pathogen-inactivated (PI) at the Luxemburgish Red Cross (LRC) using Riboflavin and UV light (RF-PI). As the LRC should respond to hospital needs at any time, platelet production exceeds the demand, generating a discard rate of 18%. To reduce this, we consider the extension of storage time from 5 to 7 days. This study’s objective was to evaluate the in vitro 7-day platelet-storage quality, comparing two PI technologies, RF-PI and amotosalen/UVA light (AM-PI), for platelet pools from whole-blood donations (PPCs) and apheresis platelets collected from single apheresis donation (APCs). Materials and Methods: For each product type, 6 double-platelet concentrates were prepared and divided into 2 units; one was treated with RF-PI and the other by AM-PI. In vitro platelet-quality parameters were tested pre- and post-PI, at days 5 and 7. Results: Treatment and storage lesions were observed in PPCs and APCs with both PI methods. We found a higher rate of lactate increase and glucose depletion, suggesting a stronger stimulation of the glycolytic pathway, a higher Annexin V binding, and a loss of swirling in the RF-PI-treated units from day 5. The platelet loss was significantly higher in the AM-PI compared with the RF-PI units. Conclusions: Results suggest that RF-PI treatment has a higher deleterious impact on in vitro platelet quality compared to AM-PI, but we observed higher loss of platelets with AM-PI due to the post-illumination amotosalen adsorption step. If 7-day storage is needed, it can only be achieved with AM-PI, based on our quality criteria.

Impact of different pathogen reduction technologies on the biochemistry, function, and clinical effectiveness of platelet concentrates: An updated view during a pandemic. Transfusion 2021; 62:227-246.

Abstract
Standard platelet concentrates (PCs) stored at 22°C have a limited shelf life of 5 days. Because of the storage temperature, bacterial contamination of PCs can result in life‐threatening infections in transfused patients. The potential of blood components to cause infections through contaminating pathogens or transmitting blood‐borne diseases has always been a concern. The current safety practice to prevent pathogen transmission through blood transfusion starts with a stringent screening of donors and regulated testing of blood samples to ensure that known infections cannot reach transfusion products. Pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs), initially implemented to ensure the safety of plasma products, have been adapted to treat platelet products. In addition to reducing bacterial contamination, PRT applied to PCs can extend their shelf life up to 7 days, alleviating the impact of their shortage, while providing an additional safety layer against emerging blood‐borne infectious diseases. While a deleterious action of PRTs in quantitative and qualitative aspects of plasma is accepted, the impact of PRTs on the quality, function, and clinical efficacy of PCs has been under constant examination. The potential of PRTs to prevent the possibility of new emerging diseases to reach cellular blood components has been considered more hypothetical than real. In 2019, a coronavirus‐related disease (COVID‐19) became a pandemic. This episode should help when reconsidering the possibility of future blood transmissible threats. The following text intends to evaluate the impact of different PRTs on the quality, function, and clinical effectiveness of platelets within the perspective of a developing pandemic.

Abstract
Developments during the past few years have resulted in multiple kinds of platelet products for transfusion. This involves different collection methods, containers, preservative solutions, modifications of storage temperatures and durations, and additional treatments such as pathogen reduction. Much experience has been obtained testing these processes in vitro to seek indications of in vivo effectiveness. Availability of an in vitro method that correlated with in vivo effectiveness would be extremely valuable for these different kinds of platelet products and as more innovation in platelet preparation occurs in the future. This report reviews the methods for in vitro platelet testing with a view to their in vivo implications and whether such testing could be helpful in projecting the clinical effectiveness of different platelet products.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pathogen reduction technologies are implemented to increase the safety of blood products. We previously showed that the UVB alone significantly contributes to the storage lesions observed in platelets treated with riboflavin/UVB using a home-made illuminator. The present study aims at confirming these observations using the commercial Mirasol® technology. METHODS A three-arm study (untreated, UV-, Mirasol®-treated platelets) was conducted to investigate the platelet storage lesions throughout storage (n=4). A two-arm study was then designed to compare Intersol and T-PAS+ additive solutions (n=3). Phenotype and functional platelet characteristics were assessed using flow cytometry, aggregometry, antioxidant assays and metabolic parameters. RESULTS Mirasol®-treated platelets exhibit enhanced storage lesions compared to controls (increase of activation markers and glycolysis rate, lower hypotonic shock and double-agonist activation responses, and decrease of total antioxidant capacity). Here, we also confirmed that the UV radiation alone is causing platelet lesions. Riboflavin tends to have an intracellular protective role while it decreases the extracellular antioxidant defenses. Furthermore, benefits of platelet additive solutions containing potassium and magnesium were confirmed as it reduces the extent of storage lesions. CONCLUSIONS The photosensitizer, UV illumination and composition of the platelet additive solutions are key parameters influencing the platelet storage lesion. The clinical relevance of these findings is not fully understood and recent published clinical studies could not show increase in bleeding in patients receiving Mirasol-treated platelets. New developments in storage solutions might help to improve storage conditions of PRT-treated platelets and should be prioritised as research subject in the future.

Abstract
Blood products are issued from blood collection. Collected blood is immediately mixed with anticoagulant solutions that immediately induce chemical and/or biochemical modifications. Collected blood is then transformed into different blood products according to various steps of fabrication. All these steps induce either reversible or irreversible "preparation-related" lesions that combine with "storage-related" lesions. This short paper aims to provide an overview of the alterations that are induced by the "non-physiological" processes used to prepare blood products that are used in clinical practice.

Abstract
Platelet concentrates (PCs) represent a blood transfusion product with a major concern for safety as their storage temperature (20-24°C) allows bacterial growth, and their maximum storage time period (less than a week) precludes complete microbiological testing. Pathogen inactivation technologies (PITs) provide an additional layer of safety to the blood transfusion products from known and unknown pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. In this context, PITs, such as Mirasol Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT), have been developed and are implemented in many countries. However, several studies have shown in vitro that Mirasol PRT induces a certain level of platelet shape change, hyperactivation, basal degranulation, and increased oxidative damage during storage. It has been suggested that Mirasol PRT might accelerate what has been described as the platelet storage lesion (PSL), but supportive molecular signatures have not been obtained. We aimed at dissecting the influence of both variables, that is, Mirasol PRT and storage time, at the proteome level. We present comprehensive proteomics data analysis of Control PCs and PCs treated with Mirasol PRT at storage days 1, 2, 6, and 8. Our workflow was set to perform proteomics analysis using a gel-free and label-free quantification (LFQ) approach. Semi-quantification was based on LFQ signal intensities of identified proteins using MaxQuant/Perseus software platform. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD008119. We identified marginal differences between Mirasol PRT and Control PCs during storage. However, those significant changes at the proteome level were specifically related to the functional aspects previously described to affect platelets upon Mirasol PRT. In addition, the effect of Mirasol PRT on the platelet proteome appeared not to be exclusively due to an accelerated or enhanced PSL. In summary, semi-quantitative proteomics allows to discern between proteome changes due to Mirasol PRT or PSL, and proves to be a methodology suitable to phenotype platelets in an unbiased manner, in various physiological contexts.

Abstract
Conventional storage of platelet concentrates limits their shelf life to between 5 and 7 days due to the risk of bacterial proliferation and the development of the platelet storage lesion. Cold storage and cryopreservation of platelets may facilitate extension of the shelf life to weeks and years, and may also provide the benefit of being more haemostatically effective than conventionally stored platelets. Further, treatment of platelet concentrates with pathogen inactivation systems reduces bacterial contamination and provides a safeguard against the risk of emerging and re-emerging pathogens. While each of these alternative storage techniques is gaining traction individually, little work has been done to examine the effect of combining treatments in an effort to further improve product safety and minimize wastage. This review aims to discuss the benefits of alternative storage techniques and how they may be combined to alleviate the problems associated with conventional platelet storage.

Abstract
Bleeding complications arising from trauma, surgery, and as congenital, disease-associated, or drug-induced blood disorders can cause significant morbidities and mortalities in civilian and military populations. Therefore, stoppage of bleeding (hemostasis) is of paramount clinical significance in prophylactic, surgical, and emergency scenarios. For externally accessible injuries, a variety of natural and synthetic biomaterials have undergone robust research, leading to hemostatic technologies including glues, bandages, tamponades, tourniquets, dressings, and procoagulant powders. In contrast, treatment of internal noncompressible hemorrhage still heavily depends on transfusion of whole blood or blood's hemostatic components (platelets, fibrinogen, and coagulation factors). Transfusion of platelets poses significant challenges of limited availability, high cost, contamination risks, short shelf-life, low portability, performance variability, and immunological side effects, while use of fibrinogen or coagulation factors provides only partial mechanisms for hemostasis. With such considerations, significant interdisciplinary research endeavors have been focused on developing materials and technologies that can be manufactured conveniently, sterilized to minimize contamination and enhance shelf-life, and administered intravenously to mimic, leverage, and amplify physiological hemostatic mechanisms. Here, a comprehensive review regarding the various topical, intracavitary, and intravenous hemostatic technologies in terms of materials, mechanisms, and state-of-art is provided, and challenges and opportunities to help advancement of the field are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of recently developed platelet (PLT) additive solutions (PAS) with 5% plasma levels may reduce the frequency and/or severity of transfusion reactions attributed to plasma. PLTs suspended in bicarbonate-containing PAS-5 with 5% plasma levels can maintain key PLT parameters during 7-day storage. This study evaluates the role of calcium and phosphate, as constituents of PAS-5, in maintaining PLT parameters. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS An Amicus apheresis PLT unit (n = 13) was equally divided into four 60-mL aliquots in CF-250 polyolefin bags. Four different formulations of PAS-5 were prepared: PAS-5, PAS-5 without phosphate (-PO4 ), PAS-5 without calcium (-Ca), and PAS-5 without Ca and phosphate (-Ca/-PO4 ). PLTs were centrifuged, and the supernatant was expressed and replaced with the respective PAS, yielding PLTs suspended in 95% PAS and 5% plasma. PLTs were stored at 20 to 24ºC with agitation for 7 days. PLT in vitro parameters were evaluated on Days 1, 5, and 7. RESULTS In PLT PAS-5 aliquots, pH levels were maintained better compared with those in -Ca and -Ca/-PO4 aliquots. Glycolysis was greater in -Ca and -Ca/-PO4 PLT aliquots compared with PAS-5 aliquots. Hypotonic stress response and morphology were less and p-selectin (CD62P) binding was greater in -Ca/-PO4 PLT aliquots. The accumulation of reactive oxygen species was greater in -Ca/-PO4 PLTs. Phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was greater in -Ca and -Ca/-PO4 PLT aliquots during storage. CONCLUSION The removal of calcium and phosphate from PAS-5 leads to the activation of p38 MAPK and deterioration of key PLT storage parameters.

Abstract
Platelet transfusions continue to be the mainstay to treat patients with quantitative and qualitative platelet disorders. Each year, about 10 millions of platelet transfusions are administered to patients worldwide with marked differences in usage between regions depending on socioeconomic development of the countries. Unfortunately, its use is associated to immune and non-immune side effects. Among the non-immune, bacterial contamination is still the major infectious risk. When bacterial culture methods are introduced for preventing bacterial septic reactions it has been found that this strategy reduce to one half the septic reactions, but do not eliminate completely that risk. To remove completely the risk, a new bacteria detection test at the time of issuance in the case of platelets stored for four or five days would be needed. Pathogen inactivation (PI) methods already in the market (based in the addition of amotosalen (A-L) or riboflavin (R-L) and the illumination with ultraviolet light) or under development (ultraviolet light C and agitation) have shown to be efficacious in the inactivation of bacteria and no cases of septic reactions associated to a pathogen-reduced product has been identified. However, it has been shown that PI technologies have measurable effects on platelet in vitro parameters and reduce the recovery and survival of treated platelets in vivo. Although these effects do not hamper the hemostatic capacity of treated platelets, an increased usage associated with PI technologies has been reported. This increase in utilization seems to be the toll to be paid if we want to completely eliminate the risk of bacterial sepsis in the recipients of platelet transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current pathogen reduction systems for platelet concentrates (PCs) require addition of chemical compounds and/or reduction of plasma content in PCs. We have investigated a new method using xenon (Xe) flash-pulse light without additional compounds or plasma replacement. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS An aliquot of apheresis platelets (PLTs) in plasma inoculated with bacteria or human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) was irradiated with Xe flash-pulse light (Xe flash phototreatment). Bacterial growth was monitored up to 6 days of storage, whereas HIV-1 infectivity was assayed just after treatment. Pairs of Xe flash-phototreated and untreated PCs were examined for PLT lesion during the storage period. RESULTS Under the current conditions, a low titer (1.8 colony-forming units [CFUs]/mL) of Staphylococcus aureus did not proliferate during the 6-day storage period, but grew in some cases at high-titer (24.0 CFUs/mL) inoculation. HIV-1 infectivity was reduced by 1.8 log. PLT recovery of the treated PCs was lower than untreated ones. An increase of mean PLT volume and glucose consumption, together with a decrease of hypotonic shock response and pH, were enhanced by the treatment. CD62P- and PAC-1-positive PLTs increased after the treatment, indicating the induction of PLT activation. Among biologic response modifiers, soluble CD40 ligand was significantly increased in the treated PCs on Day 6. CONCLUSIONS Xe flash phototreatment could prevent bacterial proliferation and reduce HIV-1 infectivity in 100% plasma PCs without any additional compounds, but enhanced PLT storage lesions. Further improvement is required to increase the potency of pathogen inactivation with reducing PLT damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The adoption of pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) is considered for the implementation of safer platelet (PLT) transfusion. However, the effects of PRT treatment including irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) light on PLT shape have not yet been fully clarified. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Leukoreduced PLT concentrates (PCs) were treated with riboflavin and UV light (Mirasol PRT, TerumoBCT). PLT shape and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced shape change were evaluated by a light scattering method where the amplitude of the scattered signal intensity was measured as the indicator of the proportion of discoid PLTs. Using a modified fluorometer, the real-time effects of different wavelengths of UV light on PLT shape were examined over the range of 300 to 360 nm at the same dose. RESULTS The proportion of discoid PLTs in the Mirasol PRT-treated PCs decreased immediately after treatment. The difference in the proportion between PRT-treated and untreated PLTs became larger with storage. Although this modification correlated significantly with the pH decrease and P-selectin expression, the Mirasol PRT-treated PLTs retained sufficient ability to undergo an ADP-induced shape change. In the study using the modified fluorometer, the proportion of discoid PLTs significantly decreased with the wavelength (< 320 nm) of irradiated UV light. CONCLUSION Mirasol PRT treatment of PCs decreases the proportion of discoid PLTs, which seemed to be caused by the irradiation with UV light of short wavelengths (< 320 nm), not that of long wavelengths (≥ 320 nm) in the Mirasol PRT system. Modification of UV light wavelength may improve the quality of PRT-treated PCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Platelets are a frequently requested blood product today and are often in limited supply because of a shelf life of 5-7 days, depending on the country. Room temperature storage is associated with an increased risk of transfusion-transmitted infection. Plasma used for platelet storage is unavailable for other uses, and allogeneic plasma carries with it risks for adverse transfusion reactions. This review looks at recent activities evaluating alternative conditions for the storage of platelets. RECENT FINDINGS New-generation platelet additive solutions are being evaluated and applied as a strategy to reduce the volume of allogeneic plasma transfused and to support storage following pathogen reduction treatments. There is a renewed interest in refrigerator temperature and frozen storage of platelets to improve availability, to reduce septic transfusion risk, and to enhance hemostatic efficacy in the bleeding patient. SUMMARY Use of platelet additive solutions has been shown to reduce the incidence of allergic and nonhemolytic febrile transfusion reactions in two large studies. Results of ongoing research and new clinical trials in cold storage methods will be forthcoming and may present solutions for platelet availability problems and new choices for therapeutic transfusion of the bleeding patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mirasol pathogen reduction technology (PRT) treatment inactivates bacteria, viruses, and parasites in plasma products and platelets (PLTs) suspended in plasma and PLT additive solutions (PAS). Few clinical studies exist documenting transfusions with PAS. This study objective was to evaluate the count increments of PRT-treated PAS-C and PAS-E buffy coat (BC) PLTs in routine use observational settings. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS PLT pools of five or six BCs were collected, processed, and suspended in PAS-C or PAS-E, respectively. Products were exposed to ultraviolet light in the presence of riboflavin and then transfused into 19 patients with hematologic diseases. Patients were monitored for PLT corrected count increment (CCI) at 1 and 24 hours and for any adverse events in the 72 hours after transfusion. Sterility monitoring was performed with a microbial detection system (BacT/ALERT, bioMérieux). RESULTS The PAS-E products had significantly higher PLT concentrations and counts than the PAS-C products. The mean CCIs of per-protocol (PP) units at 1 and 24 hours were 11,900 (n=27) and 5500 (n=30), respectively. Seventy-eight percent of PP transfusions classify as successful with CCIs at 1 hour of higher than 7500, and 63% higher than 4500 at 24 hours. One patient was excluded from all analyses as she was refractory to Mirasol-treated PLT transfusions and follow-up untreated transfusion products. No adverse events were observed and no contaminated products were detected by BacT/ALERT. CONCLUSION PRT-treated BC PLTs in PAS-C or PAS-E demonstrate PLT transfusion success rates in hematology patients with thrombocytopenia that are comparable to previous studies examining PLTs stored in plasma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Atreus system (Terumo BCT) automates the preparation of blood components from whole blood donations. Intermediate platelet (PLT) products can be pooled manually or with the OrbiSac (Terumo BCT) and suspended in different PLT additive solutions (PASs) to obtain PLT concentrates (PCs). The aim of our study was to compare the in vitro PLT quality of PCs obtained with either the Atreus 2C+ and the OrbiSac or the Atreus 3C and suspended in PAS-II or PAS-IIIM during storage for up to 7 days. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We prepared eight PCs from buffy coats obtained with Atreus 2C+, pooled with the OrbiSac, and suspended in PAS-II and eight PCs from interim PLT units obtained with the Atreus 3C and suspended either in PAS-II or in PAS-IIIM. We measured volume, PLT content, and mean PLT component and performed metabolic assays (pH, glucose, lactate, pO₂, and pCO₂) and flow cytometry analyses (GPIb, GPIIbIIIa, GPIV, CD62P, CD63, von Willebrand factor [vWF], fibrinogen, Factor V, and annexin V). RESULTS PCs prepared with the Atreus 3C showed lower volume and higher PLT concentration when compared with PCs prepared with the Atreus 2C+ and the OrbiSac (p < 0.05). Glucose consumption rate and the expression of CD62P, CD63, and vWF were lower in PCs suspended in PAS-IIIM when compared with PCs suspended in PAS-II (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION PCs prepared with the Atreus 3C and suspended in PAS-IIIM preserve satisfactorily the in vitro PLT quality during 7-day storage. PLT activation during a 7-day storage period was lower when the storage solution was PAS-IIIM in comparison with PAS-II.

Abstract
Apixaban is a new oral anticoagulant with a specific inhibitory action on FXa. No information is available on the reversal of the antihemostatic action of apixaban in experimental or clinical settings. We have evaluated the effectiveness of different factor concentrates at reversing modifications of hemostatic mechanisms induced by moderately elevated concentrations of apixaban (200 ng/ml) added in vitro to blood from healthy donors (n = 10). Effects on thrombin generation (TG) and thromboelastometry (TEM) parameters were assessed. Modifications in platelet adhesive, aggregating and procoagulant activities were evaluated in studies with blood circulating through damaged vascular surfaces, at a shear rate of 600 s(-1). The potential of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs; 50 IU/kg), activated prothrombin complex concentrates (aPCCs; 75 IU/kg), or activated recombinant factor VII (rFVIIa; 270 μg/kg), at reversing the antihemostatic actions of apixaban, were investigated. Apixaban interfered with TG kinetics. Delayed lag phase, prolonged time to peak and reduced peak values, were improved by the different concentrates, though modifications in TG patterns were diversely affected depending on the activating reagents. Apixaban significantly prolonged clotting times (CTs) in TEM studies. Prolongations in CTs were corrected by the different concentrates with variable efficacies (rFVIIa≥aPCC>PCC). Apixaban significantly reduced fibrin and platelet interactions with damaged vascular surfaces in perfusion studies (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). Impairments in fibrin formation were normalized by the different concentrates. Only rFVIIa significantly restored levels of platelet deposition. Alterations in hemostasis induced by apixaban were variably compensated by the different factor concentrates investigated. However, effects of these concentrates were not homogeneous in all the tests, with PCCs showing more efficacy in TG, and rFVIIa being more effective on TEM and perfusion studies. Our results indicate that rFVIIa, PCCs and aPCCs have the potential to restore platelet and fibrin components of the hemostasis previously altered by apixaban.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whole blood (WB) has been used in combat since World War I as it is readily available and replaces every element of shed blood. Component therapy has become standard; however, recent military successes with WB resuscitation have revived the debate regarding wider WB use. Characterization of optimal WB storage is needed. We hypothesized that refrigeration preserves WB function and that a pathogen reduction technology (PRT) based on riboflavin and ultraviolet light has no deleterious effect over 21 days of storage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS WB units were stored for 21 days either at 4°C or 22°C. Half of each temperature group underwent PRT, yielding four final treatment groups (n = 8 each): CON 4 (WB at 4°C); CON 22 (WB at 22°C); PRT 4 (PRT WB at 4°C); and PRT 22 (PRT WB at 22°C). Testing was at baseline, Days 1-7, 10, 14, and 21. Assays included coagulation factors; platelet activation, aggregation, and adhesion; and thromboelastography (TEG). RESULTS Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time increased over time; refrigeration attenuated the effects on PT (p ≤ 0.009). Aggregation decreased over time (p ≤ 0.001); losses were attenuated by refrigeration (p ≤ 0.001). Refrigeration preserved TEG parameters (p ≤ 0.001) and PRT 4 samples remained within normal limits throughout the study. Refrigeration in combination with PRT inhibited fibrinolysis (p ≤ 0.001) and microparticle formation (p ≤ 0.031). Cold storage increased shear-induced platelet aggregation and ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination (p ≥ 0.032), as well as GPIb-expressing platelets (p ≤ 0.009). CONCLUSION The in vitro hemostatic function of WB is largely unaffected by PRT treatment and better preserved by cold storage over 21 days. Refrigerated PRT WB may be suitable for trauma resuscitation. Clinical studies are warranted.

[PMID: 23278371 DOI: 10.1111/trf.12055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2012] [Revised: 10/08/2012] [Accepted: 10/15/2012] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet (PLT) support is critical to the care of patients with thrombocytopenia, but allogeneic transfusions carry risk. Pathogen reduction mitigates some transfusion risks, but effects on PLT function remain a concern. This clinical pilot study assessed the effect of pathogen reduction technology with riboflavin plus ultraviolet light using thrombelastography (TEG). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This prospective, randomized, crossover study compared Mirasol-treated (MIR) and standard reference (REF) PLT transfusions. PLT counts and TEG measurements were taken at pretransfusion and 1- and 24-hour-posttransfusion time points. The primary outcome measure was the pretransfusion to 1-hour-posttransfusion change in maximum amplitude (ΔMA(1 hr)). Secondary endpoints included ΔMA among other time points, relative MA, and the PLT count-MA correlation. RESULTS Of 16 enrolled patients, one withdrew before study treatment and three did not require two transfusions, leaving 12 patients in the efficacy analyses (seven MIR-REF, five REF-MIR). ΔMA(1 hr) (mean ± SD) was 10.60 ± 6.47 mm for MIR and 14.33 ± 5.38 mm for REF (p = 0.20, n = 10). ΔMA(24hr) was 9.49 ± 7.94 for MIR and 7.13 ± 3.08 for REF (p = 0.38, n = 9); ΔMA(24hr-1 hr) was -1.11 ± 2.95 for MIR and -7.20 ± 4.81 for REF (p = 0.016, n = 8). MA values for MIR and REF correlated with the log of PLT count (rMIR = 0.6901, rREF = 0.7399). CONCLUSION TEG is sensitive to changes in hemostatic function resulting from a single PLT transfusion. MIR and REF provided similar increments in hemostatic function in the immediate posttransfusion period and at 24 hours. A significant difference detected for ΔMA(24hr-1 hr) suggests different PLT clearance mechanisms. The relationship of these variables to clinically meaningful outcomes, for example, bleeding events or transfusion requirements, has yet to be determined.

Flow cytometric assessment of agonist-induced P-selectin expression as a measure of platelet quality in stored platelet concentrates. Transfusion 2012; 53:1780-7. [PMID: 23216254 DOI: 10.1111/trf.12001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2012] [Revised: 09/24/2012] [Accepted: 09/25/2012] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet (PLT) function in PLT concentrates declines during storage and is further affected by pathogen reduction treatment. Flow cytometric assessment of agonist-induced P-selectin expression can be used to assess PLT function in patients with thrombocytopenia. The aim of this study was to evaluate how this functional test relates to established in vitro measures of PLT function. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Six units of PLTs in plasma and 6 units of riboflavin and ultraviolet (Mirasol, TerumoBCT)-treated PLTs in plasma were sampled on Days 2, 6, 8, and 10 after donation. PLT concentration, Annexin 5A staining, ThromboLUX (LightIntegra) thrombelastography, and P-selectin expression, both in unstimulated PLTs and in response to concentration series of adenosine diphosphate, collagen-related peptide, and thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP), were measured. RESULTS For PLTs in plasma Annexin 5A expression increased by 0.60% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40%-0.80%) and P-selectin expression increased by 1.2% (95% CI, 0.80%-1.6%) per day. Responsiveness to TRAP simultaneously decreased by 1.3% (95% CI, 0.80%-1.8%) per day. After Mirasol treatment ThromboLUX scores decreased 3.3 points (95% CI, 0.2-6.4 points) from 22 to 19 points, Annexin 5A expression increased by 4.8% (95% CI, 3.3%-6.2%), and P-selectin expression increased by 13% (95% CI, 10%-16%), all averaged over the entire storage period. Responsiveness to TRAP simultaneously decreased by 19% (95% CI, 17%-21%). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest flow cytometric measurement of agonist-induced P-selectin expression can measure PLT quality decline over the entire range encountered during 10-day storage of both standard PLTs and Mirasol-treated PLTs in plasma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The residual risk for bacterial contamination in blood components especially in platelets is one to two orders of magnitude higher than for transfusion relevant viral infections. The majority of all bacterial transmitted fatalities occurred at the end of platelet shelf life. Therefore, the maximum shelf life of platelet concentrates (PC) was reduced to 4 days after blood donation in Germany in 2008. METHODS A new continuous non-invasive bacterial detection method was developed by O(2) measurements in the platelet fluids and tested with 10 transfusion relevant bacteria species. RESULTS The bacterial concentration at the time point of a positive signal of PreSense O(2) ranged between 10(2) and 10(5) CFU mL(-1) . Harmful transfusion-transmitted bacterial infection would have probably been prevented by this novel technology. Only strict anaerobic bacteria strains like Clostridium perfringens were not detected within the study period of 72 h. CONCLUSIONS The described non-invasive bacterial detection method represents a new approach to prevent transmission of bacterial infection in platelets. The method is characterised by the advantage that all investigations can be performed until right up to the time of transfusion, and therefore, reduce the risk for sample errors to a minimum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Mirasol pathogen reduction technology system is known to increase the activation and metabolic rate of platelets (PLTs). Storage of Mirasol PLTs in PLT storage medium (PSM) has the potential to slow this accelerated PLT storage lesion. We investigated the quality of Mirasol-treated PLTs stored in either 50% SSP+ or 50% Composol for 8 days. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Single-donor double hyperconcentrates were divided between control and Mirasol-treated arms and after treatment were suspended in approximately 50% (vol/vol) SSP+ (n = 8) or Composol (n = 7). In vitro markers of PLT activation and/or apoptosis were measured over an 8-day storage period. RESULTS Mirasol treatment resulted in increased spontaneous PLT activation and glycolysis and these effects were worsened when PLTs were treated below a certain volume (150 mL). At higher treatment volumes there were no significant differences between treated units stored in either Composol or SSP+. When low-volume units were stored in Composol the median pH fell below 6.4 on Day 5 and bicarbonate was undetectable, whereas in SSP+ the median pH value was greater than 6.9 and bicarbonate remained at detectable levels, despite other markers of in vitro function being similar to those of Composol. CONCLUSION Mirasol treatment of PLTs followed by storage in PSM results in increased PLT activation and metabolism to a level similar to that reported for PLTs treated and stored in plasma. Units treated at a low volume (<150 mL) showed poor in vitro quality.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination and emerging infections combined with increased international travel pose a great risk to the safety of the blood supply. Tests to detect the presence of infection in a donor have a 'window period' during which infections cannot be detected but the donor may be infectious. Agents and their transmission routes need to be recognized before specific tests can be developed. Pathogen reduction of blood components represents a means to address these concerns and is a proactive approach for the prevention of transfusion-transmitted diseases. The expectation of a pathogen reduction system is that it achieves high enough levels of pathogen reduction to reduce or prevent the likelihood of disease transmission while preserving adequate cell and protein quality. In addition the system needs to be non-toxic, non-mutagenic and should be simple to use. The Mirasol® Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) System for Platelets and Plasma uses riboflavin (vitamin B2) plus UV light to induce damage in nucleic acid-containing agents. The system has been shown to be effective against clinically relevant pathogens and inactivates leukocytes without significantly compromising the efficacy of the product or resulting in product loss. Riboflavin is a naturally occurring vitamin with a well-known and well-characterized safety profile. The same methodology is currently under development for the treatment of whole blood, making pathogen reduction of all blood products using one system achievable. This review gives an overview of the Mirasol PRT System, summarizing the mechanism of action, toxicology profile, pathogen reduction performance and clinical efficacy of the process.
