BACKGROUND: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a life-saving intervention for critically ill patients; however, it has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality. We hypothesize that a number of important proteins accumulate during routine storage of RBCs, which may explain some of the adverse effects seen in transfused patients. STUDY DESIGN: Five RBC units were drawn and divided (half prestorage leucoreduced (LR-RBC) and half left as an unmodified control (RBC). The supernatant was separated on days 1 and 42 of storage and proteomic analyses completed with in-gel tryptic digestion and nano-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: In RBC supernatants, 401 proteins were identified: 203 increased with storage, 114 decreased, and 84 were unchanged. In LR-RBC supernatant, 231 proteins were identified: 84 increased with storage, 30 decreased, and 117 were unchanged. Prestorage leucoreduction removed many platelet- and leucocyte-derived structural proteins; however, a number of intracellular proteins accumulated including peroxiredoxins (Prdx) 6 and latexin. The increases were confirmed by immunoblotting, including the T-phosphorylation of Prdx-6, indicating that it may be functioning as an active phospholipase. Active matrix metalloproteinase-9 also increased with a coinciding decrease in the metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 and cystatin C. CONCLUSION: We conclude that a number of proteins increase with RBC storage, which is partially ameliorated with leucoreduction, and transfusion of stored RBCs may introduce mediators that result in adverse events in the transfused host.
