Mitochondrial DNA levels in plasma products: A comparative study of apheresis plasma from COVID-19 convalescent donors and apheresis and fresh frozen plasma from non-infected donors
Background
Cellular and mitochondrial stress can trigger the extracellular release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which may amplify inflammatory responses and contribute to transfusion-related adverse events. This study aimed to quantify mtDNA levels in plasma products, assess the effects of storage duration and preparation method (apheresis vs. FFP).
Study design and methods
A cross-sectional analysis was conducted from March 2022 to March 2023. Plasma samples included 16 units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) obtained via whole blood centrifugation and 32 units of apheresis plasma collected using the Haemonetics MCS+ system. Apheresis donors were stratified into COVID-19-convalescent (n = 16) and non-infected (n = 16) groups. Convalescent donors had resolved mild-to-moderate infection for at least 30 days, confirmed by RT-PCR. mtDNA quantification was performed using real-time qPCR. Data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism 8 using appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests.
Results
Apheresis plasma from non-infected donors had the highest mean mtDNA concentration (2.3 × 10⁶ copies/mL), followed by convalescent plasma (8.2 × 10⁵ copies/mL) and FFP (6.0 × 10⁵ copies/mL). FFP mtDNA levels remained stable during storage, while apheresis plasma demonstrated a significant increase over 30 days. A moderate positive correlation was observed between mtDNA concentration and antibody titers in convalescent plasma.
Conclusion
mtDNA concentrations vary by plasma preparation method. These findings highlight the relevance of processing variables in transfusion safety and suggest mtDNA may serve as a molecular marker for product quality.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators'' viewpoint. Another section is "What''s Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.
