Never-frozen liquid plasma blocks endothelial permeability as effectively as thawed fresh frozen plasma

BACKGROUND Thawed fresh frozen plasma (TP) is a preferred plasma product for resuscitation but can only be used for up to 5 days after thawing. Never-frozen, liquid plasma (LQP) is approved for up to 26 days when stored at 1°C to 6°C. We have previously shown that TP repairs tumor necrosis factor &agr; (TNF-&agr;)–induced permeability in human endothelial cells (ECs). We hypothesized that stored LQP repairs permeability as effectively as TP. METHODS Three single-donor LQP units were pooled. Aliquots were frozen, and samples were thawed on Day 0 (TP0) then refrigerated for 5 days (TP5). The remaining LQP was kept refrigerated for 28 days, and aliquots were analyzed every 7 days. The EC monolayer was stimulated with TNF-&agr; (10 ng/mL), inducing permeability, followed by a treatment with TP0, TP5, or LQP aged 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Permeability was measured by leakage of fluorescein isothiocyanate–dextran through the EC monolayer. Hemostatic profiles of samples were evaluated by thrombogram and thromboelastogram. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way analysis of variance, with p < 0.05 deemed significant. RESULTS TNF-&agr; increased permeability of the EC monolayer twofold compared with medium control. There was a significant decrease in permeability at 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days when LQP was used to treat TNF-&agr;–induced EC monolayers (p < 0.001). LQP was as effective as TP0 and TP5 at reducing permeability. Stored LQP retained the capacity to generate thrombin and form a clot. CONCLUSION LQP corrected TNF-&agr;–induced EC permeability and preserved hemostatic potential after 28 days of storage, similar to TP stored for 5 days. The significant logistical benefit (fivefold) of prolonged LQP storage improves the immediate availability of plasma as a primary resuscitative fluid for bleeding patients.
