In vitro comparison of platelet storage in plasma and in four platelet additive solutions,and the effect of pathogen reduction: a proposal for an in vitro rating system

Background The introduction of platelet (PLT) additive solutions (PASs) and pathogen reduction (PR) technologies possibly allow extension of PLT shelf life. It was our aim to compare in vitro quality of leucocyte‐reduced PLT concentrates (PCs) stored in various PASs, including PR, with those in plasma during 8 days of storage. The study was performed in four blood centres where each tested four conditions. Study Design and Methods In paired experiments (n = 12), buffy coat pools were made to which various storage media were added. Plasma served as reference; two centres used InterSol followed by PR (InterSol+PR) and InterSol without PR; T‐sol, SSP+ and Composol were also studied. Results All PCs fulfilled release criteria (pH_37°C > 6·6; swirl present) until Day 8. Marked differences were seen for other parameters, including CD62P expression: 28 ± 5; 31 ± 7; and 39 ± 9% for T‐sol, Intersol+PR and without PR, respectively, which were higher as found for Composol (12 ± 3%), SSP+ (15 ± 5%) and plasma (15 ± 6%). Three parameters (CD62P, Annexin A5, and lactate concentration) were collapsed into one rating value (6 = good quality, 0 = poor quality); PLTs in plasma had a rating of 2·8 ± 1·0, which was higher as for T‐Sol (1·5 ± 0·5), InterSol+PR (1·3 ± 0·6) and without PR (1·7 ± 0·5). PLTs in potassium‐ and magnesium‐containing PASs showed higher ratings as plasma, 4·3 ± 0·5 for Composol and 3·8 ± 0·8 for SSP+. Conclusion PLT concentrates in plasma, SSP+ and Composol scored better using an arbitrary rating system as PLTs stored in T‐Sol or InterSol; PR further impaired rating parameters. The applicability of these differences in rating for clinical effects needs a clinical study.     

Crkl is constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in platelets from chronic myelogenous leukemia patients and inducibly phosphorylated in normal platelets stimulated by thrombopoietin

Platelet functions such as aggregation and clot retraction are often abnormal in chronic mylogenous leukemia (CML) patients. However, the molecular mechanisms of these altered functions are unknown. As expression of the p210bcr-abl oncogene product, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase, is known to have an essential role in the pathogenesis of CML and tyrosine phosphorylation is intimately involved in various aspects of platelet activation, we examined the pattern of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in platelets from 15 CML patients by immunoblotting with a monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody (4G10). Before and after stimulation with thrombin, the only consistent difference between normal and CML platelets was the presence of a tyrosine phosphorylated protein with a relative molecular weight of 39 kD. This tyrosine phosphorylated protein was identified as crid, an SH2, SH3 containing adapter protein. Thus, as previously demonstrated for neutrophils from CML patients, tyrosine phosphorylation of p39crkl persists in mature platelets. No tyrosine phosphorylation of crid was detected following stimulation with thrombin in normal platelets. However, crkl became incorporated into the Triton X-100 insoluble residue following thrombin stimulation in a manner dependent on platelet aggregation. Further, we found that crkl is an endogenous substrate for calpain, a protease that may be involved in postaggregation signaling processes. This suggests that crkl may be involved in the reorganization of the cytoskeleton during normal platelet aggregation and its tyrosine phosphorylation in CML platelets may contribute to the abnormal platelet function in CML patients. Finally, we found that thrombopoietin induces tyrosine phosphorylation of crk1 in normal platelets and FDCP cells genetically engineered to express human c-Mpl. This suggests that crk1 can be phosphorylated by a kinase other than p210bcr-abl and that crk1 may have a role in signaling by thrombopoietin.     

添加谷氨酰胺的全胃肠外营养对造血干细胞移植术后常见并发症的防治作用
