Effect of gamma radiation on the in vitro aggregability of WBC‐reduced apheresis platelets

Abstract: Gamma radiation had no adverse effect on platelet quality in extremely WBC-reduced SDPs. On the contrary, a slight, but significantly better in vitro aggregability was found in SDPs irradiated before storage than in platelets irradiated later during storage and in unirradiated platelets. This increased in vitro aggregability persisted until the end of shelf life.

“…The cellular elements of the blood are particularly sensitive to oxidative stress because their plasma membranes contain a high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) [43]. The significant decreases in WBCs count, values observed in the present study; confirm the results got by Robert et al [44]. The decrease in WBCs was attributed to depletion in factors needed for hematopoietic stem cells, differentiation and release from the bone marrow.…”

“…Most preparations containing human platelets are used for IV transfusion to patients with neoplastic or gastrointestinal diseases or diseases of blood‐forming organs, in an effort to prevent or treat bleeding due to thrombocytopenia 1–3 . Recent studies of the systemic application of platelets are focused on side effects due to contaminating WBCs and strategies to prevent them by WBC reduction or irradiation 4,5 . However, platelets may also be used locally as a source of growth factors that play a fundamental role in wound and bone healing and in bone regeneration 6,7 .…”

“…Although gamma irradiation primarily targets nucleic acids of lymphocytes, which contaminate cellular blood components, the irradiation may also produce effects on nonlymphoid blood cells. These effects are small and probably without clinical significance when leukoreduced platelet (PLT) components are irradiated 4 . Gamma irradiation of plasma results in a significant but very weak activation of the coagulation and fibrinolytic system 5 .…”
