Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Blood transfusion is a common therapeutic procedure in hospitalized patients. Red blood cell (RBC) units undergo various biochemical and morphological changes during storage (storage lesion). miRNAs have been studied intensively regarding cellular metabolic processes, but the effect of miRNAs on blood storage is not well defined. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed bioinformatics analysis on the public data set of miRNA expression of RBC based on R language, and performed the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis on the target genes of differentially expressed miRNA. The expression of miRNA differential genes in blood samples stored at different times was verified by qRT-PCR. Next, we used ELISA and qRT-PCR to verify the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α in blood at day 1 and day 42. In addition, in vitro, we transfected macrophages with overexpressed miRNA, and the effects of overexpressed miRNA on macrophage polarization and the release of inflammatory factors were verified by flow cytometry and qRT-PCR and ELISA. RESULTS This study combined bioinformatics analysis and experiments to discover the differentially expressed miRNAs in long-term stored blood. The results showed that compared to fresh blood samples, the inflammatory factors were significantly doubled by ELISA, as well as the higher mRNA expression at 42 day. Experimentally verified that miR-33a-5p promoted the M1 type macrophage polarization and increased the release of related inflammatory factors through PPARα/ACC2/AMPK/CPT-1a axis regulation. CONCLUSIONS This study elucidates a potential mechanism of inflammatory factor accumulation in long-term stored blood, providing a theoretical basis and a potential target to prevent transfusion-related adverse reactions.

Optimizing interpretation of survival studies of fresh and aged transfused biotin-labeled RBCs. Transfusion 2023; 63:35-46. [PMID: 36494878 PMCID: PMC10069561 DOI: 10.1111/trf.17192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ex vivo labeling with 51 chromium represents the standard method to determine red blood cell (RBC) survival after transfusion. Limitations and safety concerns spurred the development of alternative methods, including biotinylated red blood cells (BioRBC). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Autologous units of whole blood were divided equally into two bags and stored under standard blood bank conditions at 2 to 6°C (N = 4 healthy adult volunteers). One bag was biotinylated (15 μg/ml) on storage days 5 to 7 (fresh) and the other was biotinylated (3 μg/ml) on days 35 to 42 (aged). The proportion of circulating BioRBC was measured serially, and cell-surface biotin was quantified with reference to molecules of equivalent soluble fluorochrome. Clearance kinetics were modeled by RBC age distribution at infusion (Gaussian vs. uniform) and decay over time (constant vs. exponential). RESULTS Data were consistent with biphasic exponential clearance of cells of uniform age. Our best estimate of BioRBC clearance (half-life [T1/2 ]) was 49.7 ± 1.2 days initially, followed by more rapid clearance 82 days after transfusion (T1/2 = 15.6 ± 0.6 days). As BioRBC aged in vivo, molecules of equivalent soluble fluorochrome declined with a T1/2 of 122 ± 9 days, suggesting gradual biotin cleavage. There were no significant differences between the clearance of fresh and aged BioRBC. CONCLUSION Similar clearance kinetics of fresh and aged BioRBC may be due to the extensive washing required during biotinylation. Survival kinetics consistent with cells with uniform rather than Gaussian or other non-uniform age distributions suggest that washing, and potentially RBC culling, may extend the storage life of RBC products.

JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROMOTION 2021; 10:256. [PMID: 34485553 PMCID: PMC8395988 DOI: 10.4103/jehp.jehp_1638_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/27/2020] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transfusion of healthy red blood cells (RBCs) after storage is important. One of the storage lesions on blood bags is oxidative stress. One way to prevent increased oxidative stress is to use antioxidant nanoparticles (NPs). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) play an important role in antioxidant defense on RBC. poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) is a nontoxic biodegradable polymer that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for drug delivery. This study aimed to assess dose-dependent efficacy of SOD-CAT-polyethylene glycol -PLGA on RBCs storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a descriptive study, during 1 month, twenty donors from Bojnourd Blood Donation Center were selected. NPs with different concentrations were injected into the satellite bags after directing blood to them. On target days, experiments were performed on the samples taken. Electrospray was employed to prepare SOD-CAT-PLGA NPs. Twenty packed RBCs were isolated from the whole blood bags by the mechanical method, and certain amount of product was transferred to the satellite bags. On days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35, bags were sampled. Malondialdehyde (MDA), prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB), and Annexin V were performed on the samples taken. The repeated measures analysis with the help of SPSS software version 20 was performed on samples. RESULTS MDA increased in both groups. The maximum increase in test group was seen in concentration 12 mg (MDA Day 14, test [1.93 ± 0.3], [P MDA < 0.001]). Maximum increase in PAB was seen in concentration 12 mg (from 444 ± 1.7 to 563 ± 2.5) (P PAB = 0.000). Furthermore, PS expression increased in the concentration of 12 mg greater than other concentration in consecutive (from 5.00 ± 0.8 to 22.26 ± 1.7, [P < 0.001]). CONCLUSION Evaluation of dose dependency showed that different concentrations of antioxidant NPs affect RBC. This effect can be changed oxidative stress and apoptosis. Using both changes to evaluate functional and toxicity can be helpful.

Abstract
Nanosized carriers engineered from red blood cells (RBCs) provide a means for delivering various cargos, including drugs, biologics, and imaging agents. We have engineered nanosized particles from RBCs, doped with the near-infrared (NIR) fluorochrome, indocyanine green (ICG). An important issue related to clinical translation of RBC-derived nanocarriers, including these NIR nanoparticles, is their stability postfabrication. Freezing may provide a method for long-term storage of these and other RBC-derived nanoparticles. Herein, we have investigated the physical and optical stability of these particles in response to a single freeze-thaw cycle. Nanoparticles were frozen to -20 °C, stored frozen for up to 8 weeks, and then thawed at room temperature. Our results show that the hydrodynamic diameter, zeta potential, optical density, and NIR fluorescence emission of these nanoparticles are retained following the freeze-thaw cycle. The ability of these nanoparticles in NIR fluorescence imaging of ovarian cancer cells, as well as their biodistribution in reticuloendothelial organs of healthy Swiss Webster mice after the freeze-thaw cycle is similar to that for freshly prepared nanoparticles. These results indicate that a single cycle of freezing the RBC-derived nanoparticles to -20 °C followed by thawing at room temperature is an effective method to retain the physical and optical characteristics of the nanoparticles, and their interactions with biological systems without the need for use of cryoprotectants.

Are single-donor red blood cell transfusions still relevant for preterm infants? J Perinatol 2020; 40:1075-1082.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the worth of a single-donor program for preterm infants through the recipient profile and the impact on donor exposure, red blood cell (RBC) pack waste, storage duration, and transfusion performance. STUDY DESIGN Patients and transfusion characteristics were collected for 3 years (2015-2017) in preterm infants according to single-donor program prescription in a unit not practicing placental transfusion or erythropoietin supplementation. RESULTS Among 1048 eligible preterm infants, 161 met the inclusion criteria, and 51 received single-donor packs. Our single-donor program induced a donor number reduction (34% less than the transfusion number) and an extension of storage duration (median: 9 versus 7 days, p < 0.0001) without altering the transfusion performance. However, 41% of small packs were not used. CONCLUSION A single-donor program partially reduced donor exposure but led to drastic RBC pack waste. Optimization of transfusion alternatives may increase this phenomenon, calling into question the rationale of this practice.

Hypoxic storage of red blood cells improves metabolism and post-transfusion recovery. Transfusion 2020; 60:786-798.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusion is a lifesaving intervention for millions of recipients worldwide every year. Storing blood makes this possible but also promotes a series of alterations to the metabolism of the stored erythrocyte. It is unclear whether the metabolic storage lesion is correlated with clinically relevant outcomes and whether strategies aimed at improving the metabolic quality of stored units, such as hypoxic storage, ultimately improve performance in the transfused recipient. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Twelve healthy donor volunteers were recruited in a two-arm cross-sectional study, in which each subject donated 2 units to be stored under standard (normoxic) or hypoxic conditions (Hemanext technology). End-of-storage measurements of hemolysis and autologous posttransfusion recovery (PTR) were correlated to metabolomics measurements at Days 0, 21, and 42. RESULTS Hypoxic red blood cells (RBCs) showed superior PTR and comparable hemolysis to donor-paired standard units. Hypoxic storage improved energy and redox metabolism (glycolysis and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate), improved glutathione and methionine homeostasis, decreased purine oxidation and membrane lipid remodeling (free fatty acid levels, unsaturation and hydroxylation, acyl-carnitines). Intra- and extracellular metabolites in these pathways (including some dietary purines) showed significant correlations with PTR and hemolysis, though the degree of correlation was influenced by sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) levels. CONCLUSION Hypoxic storage improves energy and redox metabolism of stored RBCs, which results in improved posttransfusion recoveries in healthy autologous recipients-a Food and Drug Administration gold standard of stored blood quality. In addition, we identified candidate metabolic predictors of PTR for RBCs stored under standard and hypoxic conditions.

Association of donor age, body mass index, hemoglobin, and smoking status with in-hospital mortality and length of stay among red blood cell-transfused recipients. Transfusion 2019; 59:3362-3370.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent publications have reported conflicting findings regarding associations of blood donor demographics and mortality of transfused patients. We hypothesized that the analysis of additional donor characteristics and consideration of alternative outcomes might provide insight into these disparate results. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed data from a retrospective cohort of transfused patients from the Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-III (REDS-III). We used stratified Cox regression models to estimate associations between blood donor characteristics and hospital mortality and posttransfusion length of stay among patients transfused red blood cell (RBC) units. Donor characteristics evaluated included age, body mass index, hemoglobin levels, and smoking status. The statistical analyses were adjusted for recipient factors, including total number of transfusions. RESULTS We studied 93,726 patients in 130,381 hospitalizations during which 428,461 RBC units were transfused. There were no associations between blood donor characteristics and hospital mortality. Receipt of RBC units from donors less than 20 years of age was associated with a shorter hospital length of stay (hazard ratio for discharge per transfused unit, 1.03; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.04; p < 0.001) but not for other donor characteristics. CONCLUSION We found no evidence of associations between blood donor factors and in-hospital mortality. Our finding of shorter hospital length of stay in patients transfused RBCs from younger donors is intriguing but requires confirmation. Future collaborations are needed to develop a framework of appropriate methodologic approaches to be used in linked analyses across large cohorts.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) are a specialised organ that enabled the evolution of multicellular organisms by supplying a sufficient quantity of oxygen to cells that cannot obtain oxygen directly from ambient air via diffusion, thereby fueling oxidative phosphorylation for highly efficient energy production. RBCs have evolved to optimally serve this purpose by packing high concentrations of haemoglobin in their cytosol and shedding nuclei and other organelles. During their circulatory lifetimes in humans of approximately 120 days, RBCs are poised to transport oxygen by metabolic/redox enzymes until they accumulate damage and are promptly removed by the reticuloendothelial system. These elaborate evolutionary adaptions, however, are no longer effective when RBCs are removed from the circulation and stored hypothermically in blood banks, where they develop storage-induced damages ("storage lesions") that accumulate over the shelf life of stored RBCs. This review attempts to provide a comprehensive view of the literature on the subject of RBC storage lesions and their purported clinical consequences by incorporating the recent exponential growth in available data obtained from "omics" technologies in addition to that published in more traditional literature. To summarise this vast amount of information, the subject is organised in figures with four panels: i) root causes; ii) RBC storage lesions; iii) physiological effects; and iv) reported outcomes. The driving forces for the development of the storage lesions can be roughly classified into two root causes: i) metabolite accumulation/depletion, the target of various interventions (additive solutions) developed since the inception of blood banking; and ii) oxidative damages, which have been reported for decades but not addressed systemically until recently. Downstream physiological consequences of these storage lesions, derived mainly by in vitro studies, are described, and further potential links to clinical consequences are discussed. Interventions to postpone the onset and mitigate the extent of the storage lesion development are briefly reviewed. In addition, we briefly discuss the results from recent randomised controlled trials on the age of stored blood and clinical outcomes of transfusion.

Abstract
The current reference method in the United States for measuring in vivo population red blood cell (RBC) kinetics utilizes chromium-51 (51 Cr) RBC labeling for determining RBC volume, 24-hour posttransfusion RBC recovery, and long-term RBC survival. Here we provide evidence supporting adoption of a method for kinetics that uses the biotin-labeled RBCs (BioRBCs) as a superior, versatile method for both regulatory and investigational purposes. RBC kinetic analysis using BioRBCs has important methodologic, analytical, and safety advantages over 51 Cr-labeled RBCs. We critically review recent advances in labeling human RBCs at multiple and progressively lower biotin label densities for concurrent, accurate, and sensitive determination of both autologous and allogeneic RBC population kinetics. BioRBC methods valid for RBC kinetic studies, including successful variations used by the authors, are presented along with pharmacokinetic modeling approaches for the accurate determination of RBC pharmacokinetic variables in health and disease. The advantages and limitations of the BioRBC method-including its capability of determining multiple BioRBC densities simultaneously in the same individual throughout the entire RBC life span-are presented and compared with the 51 Cr method. Finally, potential applications and limitations of kinetic BioRBC determinations are discussed.
