Effect of leukoreduction on the omics phenotypes of canine packed red blood cells during refrigerated storage. J Vet Intern Med 2024; 38:1498-1511. [PMID: 38553798 PMCID: PMC11099828 DOI: 10.1111/jvim.17031] [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: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Red blood cell (RBC) storage promotes biochemical and morphological alterations, collectively referred to as storage lesions (SLs). Studies in humans have identified leukoreduction (LR) as a critical processing step that mitigates SLs. To date no study has evaluated the impact of LR on metabolic SLs in canine blood units using omics technologies. OBJECTIVE Compare the lipid and metabolic profiles of canine packed RBC (pRBC) units as a function of LR in fresh and stored refrigerated (up to 42 days) units. ANIMALS Packed RBC units were obtained from 8 donor dogs enrolled at 2 different Italian veterinary blood banks. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Observational study. A volume of 450 mL of whole blood was collected using Citrate-Phosphate-Dextrose-Saline-Adenine-Glucose-Mannitol (CPD-SAGM) transfusion bags with a LR filter to produce 2 pRBC units for each donor, without (nLR-pRBC) and with (LR-pRBC) LR. Units were stored in the blood bank at 4 ± 2°C. Sterile weekly samples were obtained from each unit for omics analyses. RESULTS A significant effect of LR on fresh and stored RBC metabolic phenotypes was observed. The nLR-pRBC were characterized by higher concentrations of free short and medium-chain fatty acids, carboxylic acids (pyruvate, lactate), and amino acids (arginine, cystine). The LR-pRBC had higher concentrations of glycolytic metabolites, high energy phosphate compounds (adenosine triphosphate [ATP]), and antioxidant metabolites (pentose phosphate, total glutathione). CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Leukoreduction decreases the metabolic SLs of canine pRBC by preserving energy metabolism and preventing oxidative lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding of the biochemical and morphological lesions associated with storage of equine blood is limited. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the temporal sequences of lipid and metabolic profiles of equine fresh and stored (up to 42 days) and leukoreduced packed red blood cells (LR-pRBC) and non-leukoreduced packed RBC (nLR-pRBC). ANIMALS Packed RBC units were obtained from 6 healthy blood donor horses enrolled in 2 blood banks. METHODS Observational study. Whole blood was collected from each donor using transfusion bags with a LR filter. Leukoreduction pRBC and nLR-pRBC units were obtained and stored at 4°C for up 42 days. Sterile weekly sampling was performed from each unit for analyses. RESULTS Red blood cells and supernatants progressively accumulated lactate products while high-energy phosphate compounds (adenosine triphosphate and 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate) declined. Hypoxanthine, xanthine, and free fatty acids accumulated in stored RBC and supernatants. These lesions were exacerbated in non-LR-pRBC. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Leukoreduction has a beneficial effect on RBC energy and redox metabolism of equine pRBC and the onset and severity of the metabolic storage lesions RBC.

Abstract
Our aim is to present an updated overview of the erythrocyte metabolism highlighting its richness and complexity. We have manually collected and connected the available biochemical pathways and integrated them into a functional metabolic map. The focus of this map is on the main biochemical pathways consisting of glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, redox metabolism, oxygen metabolism, purine/nucleoside metabolism, and membrane transport. Other recently emerging pathways are also curated, like the methionine salvage pathway, the glyoxalase system, carnitine metabolism, and the lands cycle, as well as remnants of the carboxylic acid metabolism. An additional goal of this review is to present the dynamics of erythrocyte metabolism, providing key numbers used to perform basic quantitative analyses. By synthesizing experimental and computational data, we conclude that glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and redox metabolism are the foundations of erythrocyte metabolism. Additionally, the erythrocyte can sense oxygen levels and oxidative stress adjusting its mechanics, metabolism, and function. In conclusion, fine-tuning of erythrocyte metabolism controls one of the most important biological processes, that is, oxygen loading, transport, and delivery.

Changes in hemoglobin oxidation and band 3 during blood storage impact oxygen sensing and mitochondrial bioenergetic pathways in the human pulmonary arterial endothelial cell model. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1278763. [PMID: 37916221 PMCID: PMC10617028 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1278763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) undergo metabolic, oxidative, and physiological changes during storage, collectively described as the "storage lesion." The impact of storage on oxygen homeostasis, following transfusion, is not fully understood. We show that RBC storage induces changes in oxygen binding that were linked to changes in oxygen sensing (hypoxia-inducible factor, HIF-1α) mechanisms and mitochondrial respiration in human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (HPAECs). A decrease in oxygen affinity (P50) to approximately 20 from 30 mmHg was seen at the first week but remained unchanged for up to 42 days. This led to the suppression of HIF-1α in the first 3 weeks due to limited oxygen supplies by RBCs. Furthermore, membrane oxidative damage, band 3 alterations, and subsequent microparticle (MP) formation were also noted. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed the upregulation of transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase, essential for clearing ROS-damaged membrane proteins and the protein DDI1 homolog, a proteasomal shuttle chaperone. Band 3 complex proteins and superoxide dismutase were among the downregulated proteins. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates measured in HPAECs incubated with RBC-derived MPs (14-day and 42-day) showed a rise in maximal respiration. Intervention strategies that target intracellular hemoglobin (Hb)'s redox transitions and membrane changes may lead to the reestablishment of oxygen homeostasis in old RBCs.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBC) are the most abundant cell in the human body, with a central role in oxygen transport and its delivery to tissues. However, omics technologies recently revealed the unanticipated complexity of the RBC proteome and metabolome, paving the way for a reinterpretation of the mechanisms by which RBC metabolism regulates systems biology beyond oxygen transport. The new data and analytical tools also informed the dissection of the changes that RBCs undergo during refrigerated storage under blood bank conditions, a logistic necessity that makes >100 million units available for life-saving transfusions every year worldwide. In this narrative review, we summarize the last decade of advances in the field of RBC metabolism in vivo and in the blood bank in vitro, a narrative largely influenced by the authors' own journeys in this field. We hope that this review will stimulate further research in this interesting and medically important area or, at least, serve as a testament to our fascination with this simple, yet complex, cell.

Abstract
Background Blood transfusion is a life-saving intervention for millions of recipients worldwide. Over the last 15 years, the advent of high-throughput, affordable omics technologies - including genomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics - has allowed transfusion medicine to revisit the biology of blood donors, stored blood products, and transfusion recipients. Summary Omics approaches have shed light on the genetic and non-genetic factors (environmental or other exposures) impacting the quality of stored blood products and efficacy of transfusion events, based on the current Food and Drug Administration guidelines (e.g., hemolysis and post-transfusion recovery for stored red blood cells). As a treasure trove of data accumulates, the implementation of machine learning approaches promises to revolutionize the field of transfusion medicine, not only by advancing basic science. Indeed, computational strategies have already been used to perform high-content screenings of red blood cell morphology in microfluidic devices, generate in silico models of erythrocyte membrane to predict deformability and bending rigidity, or design systems biology maps of the red blood cell metabolome to drive the development of novel storage additives. Key Message In the near future, high-throughput testing of donor genomes via precision transfusion medicine arrays and metabolomics of all donated products will be able to inform the development and implementation of machine learning strategies that match, from vein to vein, donors, optimal processing strategies (additives, shelf life), and recipients, realizing the promise of personalized transfusion medicine.

Safety and efficacy of human polymerized hemoglobin on guinea pig resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock. Sci Rep 2022; 12:20480.

Abstract
For the past thirty years, hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been under development as a red blood cell substitute. Side-effects such as vasoconstriction, oxidative injury, and cardiac toxicity have prevented clinical approval of HBOCs. Recently, high molecular weight (MW) polymerized human hemoglobin (PolyhHb) has shown positive results in rats. Studies have demonstrated that high MW PolyhHb increased O2 delivery, with minimal effects on blood pressure, without vasoconstriction, and devoid of toxicity. In this study, we used guinea pigs to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high MW PolyhHb, since like humans guinea pigs cannot produce endogenous ascorbic acid, which limits the capacity of both species to deal with oxidative stress. Hence, this study evaluated the efficacy and safety of resuscitation from severe hemorrhagic shock with high MW PolyhHb, fresh blood, and blood stored for 2 weeks. Animals were randomly assigned to each experimental group, and hemorrhage was induced by the withdrawal of 40% of the blood volume (BV, estimated as 7.5% of body weight) from the carotid artery catheter. Hypovolemic shock was maintained for 50 min. Resuscitation was implemented by infusing 25% of the animal's BV with the different treatments. Hemodynamics, blood gases, total hemoglobin, and lactate were not different before hemorrhage and during shock between groups. The hematocrit was lower for the PolyhHb group compared to the fresh and stored blood groups after resuscitation. Resuscitation with stored blood had lower blood pressure compared to fresh blood at 2 h. There was no difference in mean arterial pressure between groups at 24 h. Resuscitation with PolyhHb was not different from fresh blood for most parameters. Resuscitation with PolyhHb did not show any remarkable change in liver injury, inflammation, or cardiac damage. Resuscitation with stored blood showed changes in liver function and inflammation, but no kidney injury or systemic inflammation. Resuscitation with stored blood after 24 h displayed sympathetic hyper-activation and signs of cardiac injury. These results suggest that PolyhHb is an effective resuscitation alternative to blood. The decreased toxicities in terms of cardiac injury markers, vital organ function, and inflammation following PolyhHb resuscitation in guinea pigs indicate a favorable safety profile. These results are promising and support future studies with this new generation of PolyhHb as alternative to blood when blood is unavailable.
