Related donor platelet transfusion improves platelet transfusion refractoriness in hematological patients

Jing-Cheng Zhang, Li-Hong Ni, Yan Tu, Hui-Xian Hu

Summary: This study compared the hemostatic effect of platelets donated by relatives and unrelated donors. The results showed that platelets donated by relatives had a significantly better hemostatic effect and could prevent bleeding without increasing adverse transfusion reactions. This may be a better transfusion strategy for platelet refractoriness patients in emergency situations.

Platelet transfusion for cancer secondary thrombocytopenia: Platelet and cancer cell interaction

Juan Wang, Pan Zhou, Yunwei Han, Hongwei Zhang

Summary: Chemoradiotherapy often leads to secondary thrombocytopenia in cancer patients, requiring platelet transfusion to prevent bleeding. However, activated platelets may promote cancer metastasis and proliferation, creating a harmful cycle of interaction between platelets and cancer cells.

Simultaneous genotyping for human platelet antigen systems and HLA-A and HLA-B loci by targeted next-generation sequencing

Jielin Wang, Xuan You, Yanmin He, Xiaozhen Hong, Ji He, Sudan Tao, Faming Zhu

Summary: In this study, a high-throughput method was developed for simultaneous genotyping of HLA-A and HLA-B loci, as well as HPA genotyping. The method was found to be accurate and successfully genotyped 204 blood specimens for all 34 HPA systems as well as HLA-A and HLA-B loci. This method provides important genetic information for the treatment of alloimmunization platelet transfusion refractoriness.

Immunologic effects of red blood cell and platelet transfusions in neonates

Patricia Davenport, Martha Sola-Visner

Summary: Recent studies have shown that RBC transfusions in neonates can increase pro-inflammatory cytokines, with sex-specific responses. Platelet transfusions in preterm neonates are associated with increased mortality and morbidity, potentially due to immune/inflammatory effects of transfused platelets.

Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles play an important role in platelet transfusion therapy

Zhi Cai, Junyan Feng, Nian Dong, Pan Zhou, Yuanshuai Huang, Hongwei Zhang

Summary: Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) not only have procoagulant activity but also contain platelet-derived inflammatory factors that mediate inflammatory responses. Studies have shown that platelets are activated during storage to produce large amounts of PEVs, which may have implications for platelet transfusion therapy. Compared to platelets, PEVs have a longer storage time and greater procoagulant activity, making them an ideal alternative to platelets.

Increased Oxidative Stress in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients after Red Blood Cell Transfusion, but Not Platelet Transfusion, Results Mainly from the Oxidative/Nitrative Protein Damage: An Exploratory Study

Kamila Czubak-Prowizor, Jacek Trelinski, Paulina Stelmach, Piotr Stelmach, Agnieszka Madon, Halina Malgorzata Zbikowska

Summary: Chronic oxidative stress plays a role in the progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study investigated the effects of packed red blood cell (pRBC) and platelet concentrates (PC) transfusion on oxidative stress markers in AML patients, finding that both transfusions increased oxidative stress, with pRBC transfusion leading to more severe consequences.

Risk factors for hemolytic transfusion reactions resulting from ABO and minor red cell antigen incompatibility: From mislabeled samples to stem cell transplant and sickle cell disease

Eric A. Gehrie, Bipin N. Savani, Garrett S. Booth

Summary: Advancements in laboratory testing, pathogen reduction, and donor qualification have significantly reduced the risk of infection from blood transfusions. However, the prevention and recognition of hemolytic reactions, particularly due to donor-recipient incompatibility, have seen little recent progress. The article discusses the role of compatibility testing and transfusion practices in acute hemolysis, emphasizing clinical scenarios with increased risk and outlining initial clinical management for severe hemolytic reactions.

Evaluation of the detection of the homologous transfusion of a red blood cell concentrate in vivo for antidoping

Alexandre Marchand, Ingrid Roulland, Florian Semence, Franck Jaffredo, Catherine Dehainault, Soizic Le Guiner, Marie-Gaelle Le Pajolec, Francesco Donati, Lamine Redouane Mekacher, Kahina Lamek, Magnus Ericsson

Summary: Two cases of doping through homologous blood transfusion (HBT) during Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics have highlighted the need for stricter controls. Flow cytometry has been an efficient method for detecting HBT by evaluating the expression of minor blood group antigens from red blood cells (RBCs). Forensic DNA analysis using dried blood spots (DBS) has also shown potential as a new method for HBT detection. However, DNA profiling from DBS was not sensitive enough to detect a second DNA even 1 day after transfusion, while the flow cytometry protocol allowed identification of multiple populations of RBC expressing or non-expressing several antigens until day 50 post-transfusion. This protocol can be validated for future doping control samples.

No evidence for basigin/CD147 as a direct SARS-CoV-2 spike binding receptor

Jarrod Shilts, Thomas W. M. Crozier, Edward J. D. Greenwood, Paul J. Lehner, Gavin J. Wright

Summary: Recent studies suggest that basigin may not be the receptor for SARS-CoV-2 virus to invade human cells, and removing basigin from the surface of human lung epithelial cells does not affect susceptibility to the virus. These findings provide more information for a better understanding and treatment of COVID-19.

Reliable, scalable functional genetics in bloodstream-form Trypanosoma congolense in vitro and in vivo

Summary: Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a severe, wasting disease affecting domestic livestock and diverse wildlife, predominantly caused by Trypanosoma congolense and T. vivax. However, due to challenges in genetic modifications, research on the pathogenic stages is limited, hindering the understanding of these parasites' biology. The development of tools for T. congolense, including gene tagging, knockout, transgene expression, and inducible gene knockdown, will greatly aid in further research on AAT and T. congolense biology.

Summary: In this study, we systematically mapped the direct protein interactions across a recombinant library that includes most of the surface proteins on human leukocytes, providing a high-confidence and quantitative view of the receptor wiring that connects human immune cells. By integrating our interactome with expression data, we identified trends in the dynamics of immune interactions and constructed a mathematical model that predicts cellular connectivity. We also developed an interactive multi-tissue single-cell atlas to infer immune interactions throughout the body and linked our receptor interactions to functional roles through protein stimulation and microscopy.

Vivaxin genes encode highly immunogenic, non-variant antigens on the Trypanosoma vivax cell-surface

Alessandra Romero-Ramirez, Aitor Casas-Sanchez, Delphine Autheman, Craig W. Duffy, Cordelia Brandt, Simon Clare, Katherine Harcourt, Marcos Rogerio Andre, Kayo Jose Garcia de Almeida Castilho Neto, Marta M. G. Teixeira, Rosangela Zacharias Machado, Janine Coombes, Robin J. Flynn, Gavin J. Wright, Andrew P. Jackson

Summary: The study examines the immune responses to unique parasite antigens in hosts infected with Trypanosoma vivax and identifies potential vaccine candidates. A gene family called Vivaxin is found to encode transmembrane glycoproteins that elicit a consistent antibody response. Vaccination with a particular antigen, VIV beta 8, delays parasite proliferation but does not prevent disease. Vivaxin, besides being a source of vaccine antigens, is important for host-parasite interactions.

LRRC15 mediates an accessory interaction with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Jarrod Shilts, Thomas W. M. Crozier, Ana M. Teixeira-Silva, Ildar M. Gabaev, Pehuen Pereyra Gerber, Edward J. D. Greenwood, Samuel James A. Watson, Brian M. Ortmann, Christian M. J. Gawden-Bone, Tekle J. Pauzaite, Markus J. Hoffmann, James A. Nathan, Stefan Pohlmann, Nicholas J. Matheson, Paul J. Lehner, Gavin J. Wright

Summary: In addition to ACE2, LRRC15 has been identified as a protein that interacts with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The expression of LRRC15 is common in human lung vasculature cells and fibroblasts. Inflammatory signals greatly increase the levels of LRRC15 in the lungs of COVID-19 patients. Although LRRC15 alone is not sufficient for viral entry, it may modulate infection of human cells. Further investigation is needed to understand how SARS-CoV-2 exploits host LRRC15 and its role in COVID-19.
