Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising natural nanocarriers for the delivery of therapeutic agents. As with any other kind of cell, red blood cells (RBCs) produce a limited number of EVs under physiological and pathological conditions. Thus, RBC-derived extracellular vesicles (RBCEVs) have been recently suggested as next-generation delivery systems for therapeutic purposes. In this paper, we show that thanks to their unique biological and physicochemical features, RBCs can be efficiently pre-loaded with several kinds of molecules and further used to generate RBCEVs. A physical vesiculation method, based on "soft extrusion", was developed, producing an extremely high yield of cargo-loaded RBCEV mimetics. The RBCEVs population has been deeply characterized according to the new guidelines MISEV2023, showing great homogeneity in terms of size, biological features, membrane architecture and cargo. In vitro preliminary results demonstrated that RBCEVs are abundantly internalized by cells and exert peculiar biological effects. Indeed, efficient loading and delivery of miR-210 by RBCEVs to HUVEC has been proven, as well as the inhibition of a known mRNA target. Of note, the bench-scale process can be scaled-up and translated into clinics. In conclusion, this investigation could open the way to a new biomimetic platform for RNA-based therapies and/or other therapeutic cargoes useful in several diseases.

Abstract
Biomechanical attributes have emerged as novel markers, providing a reliable means to characterize cellular and subcellular fractions. Numerous studies have identified correlations between these factors and patients' medical status. However, the absence of a thorough overview impedes their applicability in contemporary state-of-the-art therapeutic strategies. In this context, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the dimensions, configuration, rigidity, density, and electrical characteristics of normal and abnormal circulating cells. Subsequently, the discussion broadens to encompass subcellular bioparticles, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) enriched either from blood cells or other tissues. Notably, cell sizes vary significantly, from 2 μm for platelets to 25 μm for circulating tumor cells (CTCs), enabling the development of size-based separation techniques, such as microfiltration, for specific diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Although cellular density is relatively constant among different circulating bioparticles, it allows for reliable density gradient centrifugation to isolate cells without altering their native state. Additionally, variations in EV surface charges (-6.3 to -45 mV) offer opportunities for electrophoretic and electrostatic separation methods. The distinctive mechanical properties of abnormal cells, compared to their normal counterparts, present an exceptional opportunity for diverse medical and biotechnological approaches. This review also aims to provide a holistic view of the current understanding of popular techniques in this domain that transcend conventional boundaries, focusing on early harvesting of malignant cells from body fluids, designing effective therapeutic options, cell targeting, and resonating with tissue and genetic engineering principles.

Abstract
The use of blood and blood products can be life-saving, but there are also certain risks associated with their administration and use. Packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and platelet concentrates are the most commonly used blood products in transfusion medicine to treat anemia or acute and chronic bleeding disorders, respectively. During the production and storage of blood products, red blood cells and platelets release extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a result of the storage lesion, which may affect product quality. EVs are subcellular structures enclosed by a lipid bilayer and originate from the endosomal system or from the plasma membrane. They play a pivotal role in intercellular communication and are emerging as important regulators of inflammation and coagulation. Their cargo and their functional characteristics depend on the cell type from which they originate, as well as on their microenvironment, influencing their capacity to promote coagulation and inflammatory responses. Hence, the potential involvement of EVs in transfusion-related adverse events is increasingly recognized and studied. Here, we review the knowledge regarding the effect of production and storage conditions of pRBCs and platelet concentrates on the release of EVs. In this context, the mode of processing and anticoagulation, the influence of additive solutions and leukoreduction, as well as the storage duration will be addressed, and we discuss potential implications of EVs for the clinical outcome of transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic and pulmonary coagulopathy and inflammation are important characteristics of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). Whether microparticles that accumulate in transfused red blood cell concentrates (RBCs) have proinflammatory and procoagulant potential and contribute to adverse reactions of RBC transfusions is unclear. AIM To investigate the ability of microparticles in stored RBCs to promote thrombin generation and induce human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) activation and damage. METHODS The number and size of microparticles were determined by flow cytometric and nanoparticle tracking analyses, respectively. Thrombin generation and the intrinsic coagulation pathway were assayed by a calibrated automated thrombogram and by measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), respectively. The expression of ICAM-1 and the release of cytokines by endothelial cells were detected by flow cytometric analyses. HMVEC damage was assessed by incubating lipopolysaccharide-activated endothelial cells with MP-primed polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). RESULTS The size of the microparticles in the RBC supernatant was approximately 100-300 nm. Microparticles promoted thrombin generation in a dose-dependent manner and the aPTT was shortened. Depleting microparticles from the supernatant of RBCs stored for 35 days by either filtration or centrifugation significantly decreased the promotion of thrombin generation. The expression of ICAM-1 on HMVECs was increased significantly by incubation with isolated microparticles. Furthermore, microparticles induced the release of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) from HMVECs. Microparticles induced lipopolysaccharide-activated HMVEC damage by priming PMNs, but this effect was prevented by inhibiting the PMNs respiratory burst with apocynin. CONCLUSION Microparticles in stored RBCs promote thrombin generation, HMVEC activation and damage which may be involved in TRALI development.

Abstract
Blood-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold great therapeutic potential. As blood contains mixed EV populations, it is challenging to study EVs originating from different cells separately. Blood cell concentrates manufactured in blood banks offer an excellent non-invasive source of blood cell-specific EV populations. To study blood cell-specific EVs, we isolated EVs from platelet (TREVs) and red blood cell (EryEVs) concentrates and characterized them using nanoparticle tracking analysis, imaging flow cytometry, electron microscopy and western blot analysis and co-cultured them with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Our aim was to use imaging flow cytometry to investigate EV interaction with PBMCs as well as study their effects on T-lymphocyte populations to better understand their possible biological functions. As a conclusion, TREVs interacted with PBMCs more than EryEVs. Distinctively, TREVs were uptaken into CD11c+ monocytes rapidly and into CD19+ B-lymphocytes in 24 h. EryEVs were not uptaken into CD11c+ monocytes before the 24-h time point, and they were only seen on the surface of lymphocytes. Neither TREVs nor EryEV were uptaken into CD3+ T-lymphocytes and no effect on T-cell populations was detected. We have previously seen similar differences in targeting PC-3 cancer cells. Further studies are needed to address the functional properties of blood cell concentrate-derived EVs. This study demonstrates that imaging flow cytometry can be used to study the distinctive differences in the interaction and uptake of EVs. Considering our current and previous results, EVs present a new valuable component for the future development of blood-derived therapeutics.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health problem with high morbidity and mortality rates. Surgical resection is the main treatment for early-stage CRC, but detecting it early is challenging. Therefore, effective therapeutic targets for advanced patients are still lacking. Exosomes, tiny vesicles in body fluids, play a crucial role in tumor metastasis, immune regulation, and drug resistance. Interestingly, they can even serve as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Studies have shown that exosomes can carry miRNA, mediate the polarization of M1/M2 macrophages, promote the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells, and affect the prognosis of CRC. Since the gastrointestinal tract has many macrophages, understanding the mechanism behind exosomal miRNA-mediated macrophage polarization in CRC treatment is crucial. This article summarizes recent advancements in the study of exosomal miRNAs in CRC and their potential as diagnostic and prognostic markers.

Abstract
Respiratory transfusion reactions represent some of the most severe adverse reactions related to receiving blood products. Of those, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. TRALI is characterized by severe lung injury associated with inflammation, pulmonary neutrophil infiltration, lung barrier leak, and increased interstitial and airspace edema that cause respiratory failure. Presently, there are few means of detecting TRALI beyond clinical definitions based on physical examination and vital signs or preventing/treating TRALI beyond supportive care with oxygen and positive pressure ventilation. Mechanistically, TRALI is thought to be mediated by the culmination of two successive proinflammatory hits, which typically comprise a recipient factor (1st hit-e.g., systemic inflammatory conditions) and a donor factor (2nd hit-e.g., blood products containing pathogenic antibodies or bioactive lipids). An emerging concept in TRALI research is the contribution of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating the first and/or second hit in TRALI. EVs are small, subcellular, membrane-bound vesicles that circulate in donor and recipient blood. Injurious EVs may be released by immune or vascular cells during inflammation, by infectious bacteria, or in blood products during storage, and can target the lung upon systemic dissemination. This review assesses emerging concepts such as how EVs: 1) mediate TRALI, 2) represent targets for therapeutic intervention to prevent or treat TRALI, and 3) serve as biochemical biomarkers facilitating TRALI diagnosis and detection in at-risk patients.

Abstract
Gain-of-function mutations in PIEZO1 cause dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHS) or hereditary xerocytosis, an autosomal dominant hemolytic anemia characterized by high reticulocyte count, a tendency to macrocytosis, and mild jaundice, as well as by other variably penetrant clinical features, such as perinatal edema, severe thromboembolic complications after splenectomy, and hepatic iron overload. PIEZO1 mutations in DHS lead to slowed inactivation kinetics of the ion channel and/or facilitation of channel opening in response to physiological stimuli. To characterize the alterations of red blood cell proteome in patients with mutated PIEZO1, we used a differential approach to compare the proteome of patients with DHS (16 patients from 13 unrelated ancestries) vs healthy individuals. We identified new components in the regulation of the complex landscape of erythrocytes ion and volume balance mediated by PIEZO1. Specifically, the main impaired processes in patients with DHS were ion homeostasis, transmembrane transport, regulation of vesicle-mediated transport, and the proteasomal catabolic process. Functional assays demonstrated coexpression of PIEZO1 and band 3 when PIEZO1 was activated. Moreover, the alteration of the vesicle-mediated transport was functionally demonstrated by an increased vesiculation rate in patients with DHS compared with healthy controls. This finding also provides an explanation of the pathogenetic mechanism underlying the increased thrombotic rate observed in these patients. Finally, the newly identified proteins, involved in the intracellular signaling pathways altered by PIEZO1 mutations, could be used in the future as potential druggable targets in DHS.

Variability of extracellular vesicle release during storage of red blood cell concentrates is associated with differential membrane alterations, including loss of cholesterol-enriched domains.

Abstract
Transfusion of red blood cell concentrates is the most common medical procedure to treat anaemia. However, their storage is associated with development of storage lesions, including the release of extracellular vesicles. These vesicles affect in vivo viability and functionality of transfused red blood cells and appear responsible for adverse post-transfusional complications. However, the biogenesis and release mechanisms are not fully understood. We here addressed this issue by comparing the kinetics and extents of extracellular vesicle release as well as red blood cell metabolic, oxidative and membrane alterations upon storage in 38 concentrates. We showed that extracellular vesicle abundance increased exponentially during storage. The 38 concentrates contained on average 7 × 1012 extracellular vesicles at 6 weeks (w) but displayed a ∼40-fold variability. These concentrates were subsequently classified into 3 cohorts based on their vesiculation rate. The variability in extracellular vesicle release was not associated with a differential red blood cell ATP content or with increased oxidative stress (in the form of reactive oxygen species, methaemoglobin and band3 integrity) but rather with red blood cell membrane modifications, i.e., cytoskeleton membrane occupancy, lateral heterogeneity in lipid domains and transversal asymmetry. Indeed, no changes were noticed in the low vesiculation group until 6w while the medium and the high vesiculation groups exhibited a decrease in spectrin membrane occupancy between 3 and 6w and an increase of sphingomyelin-enriched domain abundance from 5w and of phosphatidylserine surface exposure from 8w. Moreover, each vesiculation group showed a decrease of cholesterol-enriched domains associated with a cholesterol content increase in extracellular vesicles but at different storage time points. This observation suggested that cholesterol-enriched domains could represent a starting point for vesiculation. Altogether, our data reveal for the first time that the differential extent of extracellular vesicle release in red blood cell concentrates did not simply result from preparation method, storage conditions or technical issues but was linked to membrane alterations.

Shock-Driven Endotheliopathy in Trauma Patients Is Associated with Leucocyte Derived Extracellular Vesicles. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415990. [PMID: 36555630 PMCID: PMC9782606 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232415990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Endotheliopathy following trauma is associated with poor outcome, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. This study hypothesized that an increased extracellular vesicle (EV) concentration is associated with endotheliopathy after trauma and that red blood cell (RBC) transfusion could further enhance endotheliopathy. In this post hoc sub study of a multicentre observational trial, 75 trauma patients were stratified into three groups based on injury severity score or shock. In patient plasma obtained at hospital admission and after transfusion of four RBC transfusions, markers for endotheliopathy were measured and EVs were labelled with anti CD41 (platelet EVs), anti CD235a (red blood cell EVs), anti CD45 (leucocyte EVs), anti CD144 (endothelial EVs) or anti CD62e (activated endothelial EVs) and EV concentrations were measured with flow cytometry. Statistical analysis was performed by a Kruskall Wallis test with Bonferroni correction or Wilcoxon rank test for paired data. In patients with shock, syndecan-1 and von Willebrand Factor (vWF) were increased compared to patients without shock. Additionally, patients with shock had increased red blood cell EV and leucocyte EV concentrations compared to patients without shock. Endotheliopathy markers correlated with leucocyte EVs (ρ = 0.263, p = 0.023), but not with EVs derived from other cells. Injury severity score had no relation with EV release. RBC transfusion increased circulating red blood cell EVs but did not impact endotheliopathy. In conclusion, shock is (weakly) associated with EVs from leucocytes, suggesting an immune driven pathway mediated (at least in part) by shock.

Abstract
Endogenous microRNAs (miRNA) in tumors are currently under exhaustive investigation as potential therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, RNase degradation, inefficient and untargeted delivery, limited biological effect, and currently unclear side effects remain unsettled issues that frustrate clinical application. To address this, a versatile targeted delivery system for multiple therapeutic and diagnostic agents should be adapted for miRNA. In this study, we developed membrane-coated PLGA-b-PEG DC-chol nanoparticles (m-PPDCNPs) co-encapsulating doxorubicin (Dox) and miRNA-190-Cy7. Such a system showed low biotoxicity, high loading efficiency, and superior targeting ability. Systematic delivery of m-PPDCNPs in mouse models showed exceptionally specific tumor accumulation. Sustained release of miR-190 inhibited tumor angiogenesis, tumor growth, and migration by regulating a large group of angiogenic effectors. Moreover, m-PPDCNPs also enhanced the sensitivity of Dox by suppressing TGF-β signal in colorectal cancer cell lines and mouse models. Together, our results demonstrate a stimulating and promising m-PPDCNPs nanoplatform for colorectal cancer theranostics.

Abstract
By harmonizing the pre-preparation conditions and also removing some donors’ variations, the current study took one step forward to investigate whether different leukocyte filtration sets influence the quality of RBCs throughout the storage time. Twelve whole blood units were collected, and each unit was split into three equal parts. Thirty-six divided bags were filtered using three different leukocyte-filtration sets including Red Cell and Whole Blood Filters (12 units per filter). The prepared RBCs were refrigerated for up to 42 days and assessed for microvesicle count and size, clotting- and prothrombin time, hemolysis index, and biochemical parameters. A significant increment in erythrocytes microvesicle count (EMVs/μL) was observed during the time in the three filtration sets. The number of EMVs in WBF-RBCs was higher (~1.6 fold) than in F-RCF on day 42 (p=0.035). Interestingly the median fluorescence intensity of EMVs decreased during the storage. The size of MVs rose during the time without any significant differences among the filters. Coagulation time decreased in RBCs over the storage, with no significant differences among the filters. Hemolysis index and lactate concentration increased while glucose level decreased significantly throughout the time. The changes in WBF-RBCs were more drastic rather than RCF-RBCs. The only significant difference in the count of EMVs was between WBF and F-RCF components on day 42. Though the changes in WBF products were more drastic, all the values fell within the standard limits. Accordingly, all three filtration sets can be considered.

Abstract
Following cardiac surgery, 20% of patients will present with AKI, which is associated with increased mortality, and transfusion increases the risk of AKI. The main objective was to determine whether the composition of transfusion was associated with AKI. In this study, AKI patients received higher amount of MRP_14 through transfusion vs non-AKI. MRP_14 has been reported to activate and enhance neutrophil transmigration into damaged tissues. In a murine model of ischemia-reperfusion, MRP_14 increased renal damage and enhanced neutrophil influx into the kidney. MRP_14 also increased neutrophilic-trogocytosis toward tubular cells. The sex of the donor and the method of preparation of the blood determined the concentration of MRP_14 in packed red blood cells.
Transfusion is a specific cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. Whether there is an association between the composition of blood products and the onset of AKI is unknown. The present study suggests that the transfusion of packed red blood cells containing a high amount of myeloid-related protein 14 (MRP_14) could increase the incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery. In a mouse model, MRP_14 increased the influx of neutrophils in the kidney after ischemia-reperfusion and their ability to damage tubular cells. Higher concentrations of MRP_14 were found in packed red blood cells from female donors or prepared by whole blood filtration.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released during the storage of red blood cell (RBC) concentrates and might play adverse or beneficial roles throughout the utilization of blood products (transfusion). Knowledge of EV release associated factors and mechanism amends blood product management. In the present work the impact of storage time and medium (blood preserving additive vs isotonic phosphate buffer) on the composition, size, and concentration of EVs was studied using attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy, microfluidic resistive pulse sensing (MRPS) and freeze-fraction combined transmission electron micrography (FF-TEM). The spectroscopic protein-to-lipid ratio based on amide and the C-H stretching band intensity ratio indicated the formation of various vesicle subpopulations depending on storage conditions. After short storage, nanoparticles with high relative protein content were detected. Spectral analysis also suggested differences in lipid and protein composition, too. The fingerprint region (from 1300 to 1000 cm-1) of the IR spectra furnishes additional information about the biomolecular composition of RBC-derived EVs (REVs) such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), lactose, glucose, and oxidized hemoglobin. The difference between the vesicle subpopulations reveals the complexity of the REV formation mechanism. IR spectroscopy, as a quick, cost-effective, and label-free technique provides valuable novel biochemical insight and might be used complementary to traditional omics approaches on EVs.

Abstract
Recently, red blood cell-derived extracellular vesicles (RBCEVs) have attracted attention for clinical applications because of their safety and biocompatibility. RBCEVs can escape macrophages through the binding of CD47 to inhibitory receptor signal regulatory protein α. Furthermore, genetic materials such as siRNA, miRNA, mRNA, or single-stranded RNA can be encapsulated within RBCEVs and then released into target cells for precise treatment. However, their side effects, half-lives, target cell specificity, and limited large-scale production under good manufacturing practice remain challenging. In this review, we summarized the biogenesis and composition of RBCEVs, discussed the advantages and disadvantages of RBCEVs for drug delivery compared with synthetic nanovesicles and non-red blood cell-derived EVs, and provided perspectives for overcoming current limitations to the use of RBCEVs for clinical applications.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions may have a negative impact on the prognosis of patients with cancer, where transfusion‑related immunomodulation (TRIM) may be a significant contributing factor. A number of components have been indicated to be associated with TRIM. Among these, the impact of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has been garnering increasing attention from researchers. EVs are defined as nano‑scale, cell‑derived vesicles that carry a variety of bioactive molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, to mediate cell‑to‑cell communication and exert immunoregulatory functions. RBCs in storage constitutively secrete EVs, which serve an important role in TRIM in patients with cancer receiving a blood transfusion. Therefore, the present review aimed to first summarize the available information on the biogenesis and characterization of EVs. Subsequently, the possible mechanisms of TRIM in patients with cancer and the impact of EVs on TRIM were discussed, aiming to provide an outlook for future studies, specifically for formulating recommendations for managing patients with cancer receiving RBC transfusions.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) deformability refers to the cells’ ability to adapt their shape to the dynamically changing flow conditions so as to minimize their resistance to flow. The high red cell deformability enables it to pass through small blood vessels and significantly determines erythrocyte survival. Under normal physiological states, the RBCs are attuned to allow for adequate blood flow. However, rigid erythrocytes can disrupt the perfusion of peripheral tissues and directly block microvessels. Therefore, RBC deformability has been recognized as a sensitive indicator of RBC functionality. The loss of deformability, which a change in the cell shape can cause, modification of cell membrane or a shift in cytosol composition, can occur due to various pathological conditions or as a part of normal RBC aging (in vitro or in vivo). However, despite extensive research, we still do not fully understand the processes leading to increased cell rigidity under cold storage conditions in a blood bank (in vitro aging), In the present review, we discuss publications that examined the effect of RBCs’ cold storage on their deformability and the biological mechanisms governing this change. We first discuss the change in the deformability of cells during their cold storage. After that, we consider storage-related alterations in RBCs features, which can lead to impaired cell deformation. Finally, we attempt to trace a causal relationship between the observed phenomena and offer recommendations for improving the functionality of stored cells.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) compose a heterogenous group of membrane-derived particles, including exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies, which are released into the extracellular environment in response to proinflammatory or proapoptotic stimuli. From earlier studies suggesting that EV shedding constitutes a cellular clearance mechanism, it has become evident that EV formation, secretion and uptake represent important mechanisms of intercellular communication and exchange of a wide variety of molecules, with relevance in both physiological and pathological situations. The putative role of EVs in hemostasis and thrombosis is supported by clinical and experimental studies unraveling how these cell-derived structures affect clot formation (and resolution). From those studies, it has become clear that the prothrombotic effects of EVs are not restricted to the exposure of tissue factor (TF) and phosphatidylserines (PS), but also involve multiplication of procoagulant surfaces, cross-linking of different cellular players at the site of injury and transfer of activation signals to other cell types. Here, we summarize the existing and novel clinical and experimental evidence on the role and function of EVs during arterial and venous thrombus formation and how they may be used as biomarkers as well as therapeutic vectors.

Abstract
In order to prepare optimal platelet and extracellular vesicle (EV)-rich plasma for the treatment of chronic temporal bone inflammation, we studied effects of centrifugation parameters on redistribution of blood constituents in blood samples of 23 patients and 20 volunteers with no record of disease. Concentrations of blood cells and EVs were measured by flow cytometry. Sample content was inspected by scanning electron microscopy. A mathematical model was constructed to interpret the experimental results. The observed enrichment of plasma in platelets and EVs after a single spin of blood depended on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, thereby indicating the presence of a flow of plasma that carried platelets and EVs in the direction opposite to settling of erythrocytes. Prolonged handling time correlated with the decrease of concentration of platelets and larger EVs in platelet and EV-rich plasma (PVRP), R = -0.538, p = 0.003, indicating cell fragmentation during the processing of samples. In further centrifugation of the obtained plasma, platelet and EV enrichment depended on the average distance of the sample from the centrifuge rotor axis. Based on the agreement of the model predictions with observations, we propose the centrifugation protocol optimal for platelet and EV enrichment and recovery in an individual sample, adjusted to the dimensions of the centrifuge rotor, volume of blood and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.[Figure: see text].

Abstract
Prestorage filtration of blood to remove contaminating donor leukocytes and platelets has substantially increased the safety level of transfusion therapy. We have previously shown that leukoreduction has a mitigating effect on the storage lesion profile by lowering the extent of hemolysis and of RBC aging and removal phenotypes, including surface signaling and microvesiculation. Even though protein composition may determine the fate of EVs in the recipient, the probable effect of leukoreduction on the EV proteome has been scarcely investigated. In the present paired study, we characterized the proteome of EVs released in prestorage leukoreduced (L) and nonleukoreduced (N) RBC units prepared from the same donors, by immunoblotting and qualitative proteomics analyses at two storage intervals. Apart from common proteofrms typically associated with the established EV biogenesis mechanisms, the comparative proteomics analyses revealed that both leukoreduction and storage duration affect the complexity of the EV proteome. Membrane and cytoskeleton-related proteins and regulators, metabolic enzymes and plasma proteins exhibited storage duration dependent variation in L- and N-EVs. Specific proteoforms prevailed in each EV group, such as transferrin in L-units or platelet glycoproteins, leukocyte surface molecules, MHC HLA, histones and tetraspanin CD9 in N-units. Of note, several unique proteins have been associated with immunomodulatory, vasoregulatory, coagulatory and anti-bacterial activities or cell adhesion events. The substantial differences between EV composition under the two RBC preparation methods shed light in the underlying EV biogenesis mechanisms and stimuli and may lead to different EV interactions and effects to target cells post transfusion.
