ABSTRACT
This study was purposed to evaluate the effect of different lyophilizing protectants including human albumin, glucan, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and glycerine on lyophilized trehalose-loading red blood cells (RBC), then to screen the optimal lyophilizing protectant. The RBC were incubated in 800 mmol/L concentration of trehalose solution at 37°C for 7 hours, and washed 3 times with PBS solution to obtain the trehalose-loading RBC. The trehalose-loading RBC in control group were directly lyophilized without lyophilizing protectants, the trehalose-loading RBC in the experimental group were mixed with Lyophilizing protectants. The samples of 2 groups were kept at room temperature for 30 minutes, pre-frozen at -80°C for 24 hours, then lyophilized in freeze-dryer for 24 hours. Finally the samples were quickly rehydrated by 6% HES at 37°C. The recovery rate and hemolysis rate of hemoglobin were detected by using cyanohemoglobin detection kit. The water content of unhydrated samples were detected at the same time. The results showed that when the moisture content of sample was 3% - 5%, the recovery rate of hemoglobin in control group was 33.57 ± 2.89%, and that in experimental group was 51.15 ± 1.98%, there was statistically significant difference between the control and experimental group (P < 0.05). When the different concentration of dextran solution was chosen as protectants, the recovery rate of hemoglobin of lyophilized RBC was obviously lower. The higher concentration of dextran, the better the recovery rate. The recovery rate of hemoglobin was 22.15 ± 4.12% when the concentration of dextran was 36%, there were statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). When the different concentration of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) solutions was chosen as protectants, especially the concentration below 40%, the recovery rate of hemoglobin of lyophilized RBC was significantly belower than the control group, there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). When 10% glycerol was used as protectants, the recovery rate of hemoglobin was 3.93 ± 1.80%. There was also statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). It is concluded that human serum albumin shows an important protective effect on the lyophilization of the trehalose-loading red blood cells. The dextran and PVP at the concentration lower than 40% can decrease the protective effect of trehalose in cells. Glycerol can not be chosen as protectant for lyophilized trehalose-loading red blood cells.
