Objective:
To explore the effect of storage time on arginase level and possible source of arginase in apheresis leukocyte-reduced platelets(ALR-Plt).
Methods:
The arginase level and myeloperoxidase(MPO) levels in ALR-Plt and control plasma were detected by ELISA. The relationship between arginase level and MPO level in ALR-Plt was analyzed by correlation analysis.
Results:
There was no significant difference of arginase level between ALR-Plt stored less than 3 days and control plasma. However, arginase level in ALR-Plt stored over 3 days was significantly higher than that in ALR-Plt stored less than 3 days and control plasma(P<0.05). There was no significant difference of MPO level in ALR-Plt stored for different times, but the MPO level in ALR-Plt stored for different time was lower than that in control plasma. Correlation analysis showed that arginase level positively correlated with MPO level in ALR-Plt of different storage time (r=0.58).
Conclusion:
The arginase level in ALR-Plt stored over 3 days increase significantly. The main possible source of arginase in ALR-Plt is the residual white blood cells, especially neutrophils.
