Abstract
Objective: To compare asinine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) manually produced by single- and double-centrifugation methods.
Methods: This was a single-center study conducted from June 19 through August 14, 2022, using 6 healthy donkeys. Whole blood (WB) was collected into sodium citrate vacutainer tubes for single-centrifugation processing and an acid-citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine blood bag for double-centrifugation processing to produce, respectively, PRP1 and PRP2. Platelet, WBC, and RBC concentrations and PDGF-BB and TGF-β1 activities were assessed in WB, PRP1, and PRP2.
Results: Both protocols concentrated platelets (PLTs) 1.8- to 5.2-fold, reduced WBCs 1.1- to 50.4-fold, and decreased RBCs at least 829-fold compared to WB. Platelet-rich plasma-2 yielded a higher PLT concentration and PLT enrichment factor than PRP1 but required resuspension of the pellet post second spin to maximize PLT concentration. Platelet-rich plasma-1 possessed a lower WBC concentration and greater WBC reduction factor than PRP2. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB and TGF-β1 activities were highest in PRP2 and not significantly different between PRP1 and WB. There was a weak and moderate correlation of baseline PLT concentration to that of PRP2 (r = 0.4) and PRP1 (r = 0.62), respectively; neither was statistically significant. Platelet-rich plasma-2 yielded higher PLT enrichment and growth factor activities despite greater WBC and RBC contamination than PRP1.
Conclusions: In donkeys, double centrifugation results in leukocyte-rich PRP with a higher PLT concentration compared to leukocyte-poor PRP with a lower PLT concentration yielded from single centrifugation.
Clinical relevance: Asinine PRP can be manually prepared. While this improves cost-efficient field management of donkeys often treated under resource limitations, the optimal cellular composition, in vivo efficacy, and safety of asinine PRP warrant further investigation.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Veterinary Research supports the collaborative exchange of information between researchers and clinicians by publishing novel research findings that bridge the gulf between basic research and clinical practice or that help to translate laboratory research and preclinical studies to the development of clinical trials and clinical practice. The journal welcomes submission of high-quality original studies and review articles in a wide range of scientific fields, including anatomy, anesthesiology, animal welfare, behavior, epidemiology, genetics, heredity, infectious disease, molecular biology, oncology, pharmacology, pathogenic mechanisms, physiology, surgery, theriogenology, toxicology, and vaccinology. Species of interest include production animals, companion animals, equids, exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and wild and marine animals. Reports of laboratory animal studies and studies involving the use of animals as experimental models of human diseases are considered only when the study results are of demonstrable benefit to the species used in the research or to another species of veterinary interest. Other fields of interest or animals species are not necessarily excluded from consideration, but such reports must focus on novel research findings. Submitted papers must make an original and substantial contribution to the veterinary medicine knowledge base; preliminary studies are not appropriate.
