- BACKGROUND: The quality of platelet concentrates (PCs) is primarily determined in vitro by selective methods (e.g., pH, aggregometry), which provide only limited information on certain platelet (PLT) characteristics. In contrast, proteomic technologies provide a comprehensive overview of the PLT proteome. High interassay variability, however, limits meaningful assessment of samples taken from the same product over time or before and after processing. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Differential in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE) and mass spectrometry were applied to analyze changes in the PLT proteome during storage of PCs. RESULTS: DIGE provides a comprehensive and reproducible overview of the cytoplasmic PLT proteome (median standard deviation of protein spot intensities, 5%-9%). Although 97 percent of cytosolic PLT proteins remained unchanged over a 9-day storage period, septin 2 showed characteristic alterations that preceded by several days more widespread alterations affecting numerous other proteins. Also beta-actin and gelsolin are potential marker proteins for changes in the PLT proteome. Interestingly septin 2 and gelsolin are affected during apoptosis, indicating that apoptosis in PCs may have an impact on PLT storage. CONCLUSION: DIGE is a tool for comprehensively assessing the impact of storage on the global proteome profile of therapeutic PCs. Most of the changes detected are in high-abundance PLT proteins.

- Background Transfusion patterns in Sweden have not been characterized on a nationwide level. Study Design and Methods We conducted a nationwide descriptive cohort study in Sweden from 2008 to 2017. Data on blood donors, donations, component manufacture, transfusions, and transfused patients were extracted from Swedish portion of the Scandinavian Donations and Transfusions (SCANDAT3-S) database. Results A total of 708 436 patients received 5 587 684 red cell, plasma, or platelet transfusions during the study period. The age-standardized transfusion rate decreased markedly during the study period for red cell units (from 53 to 39 units/1000 persons) and plasma units (from 11 to 4.9 units/1000 persons), but remained relatively constant for platelet concentrates. The transfusion rate was 30%-40% higher in males than in females in the first year of life, and higher in males over 45 years than in females. Between age 20 and 45, the majority of red cells were transfused to female patients with obstetric indications, whereas trauma was the predominant indication for male contemporaries. In females over 80 years, the largest proportion of red cells were administered due to trauma. Overall, hematological patients received 36% of all platelet units. There were large regional differences in transfusion rates for red cell units, ranging from less than 30 to greater than 60/1000 persons. Conclusion Transfusion rates in Sweden remain high but have decreased strikingly during the study period - with the exception of platelet transfusions. Based on the available data, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions about whether transfusion rates can be further reduced.

- BACKGROUND: Over the past decades, the focus on the regenerative properties of platelets (PLTs) has intensified and many PLT-derived growth factors are readily used in medical settings. A general lack of standardization in the preparation of these growth factors remains, however, and this study therefore examines the dynamics of growth factors throughout the freeze-thaw procedure.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Plateletpheresis (PA) and PLT-poor plasma (PPP) samples were collected from 10 healthy donors. PA was lysed to produce PLT lysate (PL) for 1, 3, 5, 10, and 30 freeze-thaw cycles. The resulting growth factor and cytokine concentrations from PPP, PA, and PL of different cycles were analyzed and compared using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and multiplex bead assays.RESULTS: PL produced by the freeze-thaw procedure resulted in approximately four-to 10-fold enrichment of transforming growth factor-b1, epidermal growth factor, PLT-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB/BB, PLT factor-4, and fibroblast growth factor-2. The increase in concentrations plateaued at Cycles 3 and 5 and in some cases declined with further cycles. The concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1, hepatocyte growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, and bone morphogenetic protein-2 in PL were essentially comparable to those in PPP.CONCLUSION: Using the freeze-thaw method, optimal preparation of PL with regard to the concentration of growth factors was achieved at Cycles 3 to 5. Based on our findings, the clinical significance of using a greater number of cycles is likely limited.
