Cryopreservation of buffy coat-derived platelet concentrates photochemically treated with amotosalen and UVA light.
Transfusion 2018 October 4
BACKGROUND: Cryopreserved platelets (CPPs) are considered a promising approach for extended platelet storage, bridging inventory shortages of conventionally stored platelets. It is unknown if platelet concentrates exposed to photochemical treatment (PCT) with amotosalen and ultraviolet A (UVA) light, to inactivate pathogens, are suitable for freezing. The objective of this study was to analyze potential effects of PCT on CPPs as compared with untreated CPPs.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 12 PCT-treated and 12 untreated platelet units from buffy coats were cryopreserved at -80°C in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide. CPPs of both types were rapidly thawed at 37°C and resuspended in 200 mL fresh plasma. In vitro properties were analyzed prefreezing, postfreezing and thawing, and on Day 1 after thawing.
RESULTS: Directly after thawing, no major differences in platelet content, lactase hydrogenase, adenosine triphosphate, mitochondrial membrane potential, CD62P, CD42b, and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule were seen between PCT-CPPs and conventional CPPs. Agonist-induced PAC-1 expression and contribution of CPPs to blood coagulation in an experimental rotational thromboelastometry setup were also similar between the groups. On Day 1 after thawing, the CPPs of both types performed less well. The PCT-CPPs tended to be more affected by the freezing process than the conventional CPPs.
CONCLUSIONS: PCT-CPPs appeared slightly more susceptible to lesion effects by freezing than conventional CPPs, in particular in assays on Day 1 after thawing, but these differences were small relative to the dramatic effects of the freezing process itself.
