Blood Bag Plasticizers Influence Red Blood Cell Vesiculation Rate without Altering the Lipid Composition of the Vesicles

Abstract: Background: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticized with di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is commonly used for blood collection and storage. DEHP has protective effects on RBC membranes, but is also a toxin. Methods: A paired study was conducted to investigate the influence of DEHP and two alternative plasticizers, 1,2-cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH) and n-butyryl-tri-n-hexyl citrate (BTHC), on the preservation of RBCs stored for 42 days in PVC pediatric bags. The RBC membrane was evaluate… Show more

“…The strengths of our study: We analyzed the four major PLs of both RBCs and EVs derived from the same RBC concentrates from early, middle and late time points of storage within the Finnish clinical usage period to enable a rational comparison. Species level PL analysis of packed RBCs has been done only by one other research group with partly conflicting results [27,28]. In our study, several appropriate MS scans were run for each type of lipid to obtain reliable results not biased by adducts and other contaminants.…”

“…The lipid composition of the erythrocyte membrane is thoroughly characterized at the PL class level as the erythrocyte has been used as a model cell in biomembrane lipidomic studies [23][24][25]. PL composition at the molecular species level has been less studied [26][27][28], and a storage time-dependent study on RBCs and corresponding EVs is lacking. Accordingly, we aimed to study the time course of changes in PL classes and species of packed RBCs and the corresponding EVs during a clinically relevant storage period.…”

“…The DEHP is known to have a beneficial effect on RBCs that are stored for transfusion, reducing susceptibility to hemolysis [8,9,10,29] and minimizing the formation of both echinocytes [10] and microparticles [8,9,10,11]. Hemolysis, vesicle formation, and the shape changes associated with echinocyte formation are associated with the membrane; together with the known association of DEHP with the RBC membrane [3], this makes the DEHP-membrane interactions a specific target to study.…”

“…Storage materials with alternative plasticizers have been investigated for RCCs, due to the potential health effects of DEHP [8,9,10,11,12]. One challenge associated with the replacement of DEHP is that it has beneficial effects on the RBCs, extending the shelf life of the stored RCCs [8,9,10].…”
