Background: Cryopreserved platelet (PLT) components stored at -80°C in 5% to 6% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) demonstrate enhanced hemostatic activity. Alterations in PLT surface glycoprotein expression and release of procoagulant microparticles during the freeze/thaw cycle result in PLT activation. Nothing is known of the effect of gamma irradiation on the in vitro quality of reconstituted cryopreserved PLTs.
Study Design And Methods: Gamma-irradiated (25-50 Gy) buffy coat-derived PLT components were either stored at room temperature for 7 days (the current expiry in New Zealand) or cryopreserved at -80°C using 5% to 6% DMSO. Cryopreserved PLTs were thawed at 37°C and reconstituted in ABO-identical plasma or PAS-E and compared to Day 7 gamma-irradiated liquid-stored PLTs. In vitro assays were performed to assess glycoprotein expression, PLT functionality and soluble cytokine release.
Results: Cryopreserved PLTs after thawing and reconstitution in ABO-matched plasma or PAS-E displayed differing recoveries (82.7 and 75.9%, respectively). Key expression levels of glycoproteins GPIbα (CD42b) and GPIIb (CD41a) were reduced. Cryopreserved PLTs retained the ability to form an effective functional clot, while showing accelerated initiation of clot formation (R-time) compared to Day 7 gamma-irradiated liquid-stored PLTs.
Conclusion: Gamma-irradiated buffy coat-derived liquid-stored and cryopreserved PLTs have distinctly differing phenotypes. Cryopreserved PLTs reconstituted in ABO plasma have enhanced clot strength driven by coagulation factors and fibrinogen levels not present in PAS-E. Irradiated cryopreserved PLTs maintain a similar in vitro quality profile and hemostatic behavior to previously published, nonirradiated cryopreserved PLTs.

Platelet extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are an emerging delivery vehi for anticancer drugs due to their ability to target and remain in the tumor microenvironment. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding yields, safety, drug loading efficiencies, and efficacy of PEVs. In this study, various methods were compared to generate PEVs from clinical-grade platelets, and their properties were examined as vehicles for doxorubicin (DOX).

Background: Cryopreservation of platelets (PLTs) could allow extension of their shelf-life to years, compared to days for liquid stored platelets. Due to their greater hemostatic effect, reconstituted cryopreserved platelets (cryo-PLTs) would be able to support bleeding emergencies. Since protein synthesis has been linked to PLT functions, such as clot formation and immune responses, the translational capacity of reconstituted cryo-PLTs was assessed upon thawing and short-term storage.

Background: Platelets (PLTs) stored at 20-24 °C have a short shelf life of only 5 days, which can result in their restricted availability. PLT cryopreservation extends the shelf life to 2 years.
Methods: We implemented a method of PLT freezing at -80 °C in 5-6% dimethyl sulfoxide.

Background: The combination of pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) and cryopreservation can contribute to building a safe and durable platelet (PLT) inventory. Information about cryopreserved riboflavin and UV light-treated PLTs is scarce.
Study Design And Methods: Twenty-four buffy coat (BC) PLT concentrates were grouped into 12 type-matched pairs, pooled, and divided into 12 non-PRT-treated control units and 12 riboflavin and UV light PRT-treated test units.

Background: Hemorrhagic shock (HS) and trauma induce endothelial barrier compromise, inflammation, and aberrant clotting. We have shown that fresh human platelets (Plts) and Plt extracellular vesicles mitigate vascular leak in murine models of injury. Here, we investigate the potential of freeze-dried platelets (FDPlts) to attenuate pulmonary vascular permeability, decrease inflammation, and promote clotting in a murine model of HS.
