Cold storage of platelets for transfusion is desirable to extend platelet storage times and to prevent bacterial growth. However, the rapid clearance of cold-stored platelets prevents their use. A novel method for preventing the rapid clearance of cold-stored platelets has previously been developed in a murine model. Cold storage induces the clustering and recognition of exposed beta-N-acetylglucosamine (beta GlcNAc) on platelet surfaces. Glycosylation of beta GlcNAc residues with uridine 5'-diphosphogalactose (UDP-galactose) results in the normal survival of short-term (2 h) 0 degrees C-stored murine platelets. Based on this finding, we developed a similar glycosylation process by adding UDP-galactose to human apheresis platelets. A phase 1 clinical trial was conducted transfusing radiolabeled autologous apheresis platelets stored for 48 hours at VC with or without pretreatment with UDP-galactose. In contrast to the murine study, galactosylation of human platelets did not prevent the accelerated platelet clearance routinely observed after VC storage. We next developed a murine model of platelet storage for 48 hours at VC and showed that UDP-galactose treatment of murine platelets also did not prevent their rapid clearance, in agreement with the human platelet study. We conclude that different mechanisms of clearance may exist for short- and long-term cold-stored platelets.
