Increased Oxidative Stress in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients after Red Blood Cell Transfusion, but Not Platelet Transfusion, Results Mainly from the Oxidative/Nitrative Protein Damage: An Exploratory Study

Chronic oxidative stress (OS) can be an important factor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression; however, there are no data on the extent/consequence of OS after transfusion of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and platelet concentrates (PCs), which are commonly used in the treatment of leukemia-a...

description Chronic oxidative stress (OS) can be an important factor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression; however, there are no data on the extent/consequence of OS after transfusion of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and platelet concentrates (PCs), which are commonly used in the treatment of leukemia-associated anemia and thrombocytopenia. We aimed to investigate the effects of pRBC/PC transfusion on the OS markers, i.e., thiol and carbonyl (CO) groups, 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), advanced glycation end products (AGE), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), SOD, GST, and LDH, in the blood plasma of AML patients, before and 24 h post-transfusion. In this exploratory study, 52 patients were examined, of which 27 were transfused with pRBCs and 25 with PCs. Age-matched healthy subjects were also enrolled as controls. Our results showed the oxidation of thiols, increased 3-NT, AGE levels, and decreased TAC in AML groups versus controls. After pRBC transfusion, CO groups, AGE, and 3-NT significantly increased (by approximately 30, 23, and 35%; <i>p</i> < 0.05, <i>p</i> < 0.05, and <i>p</i> < 0.01, respectively) while thiols reduced (by 18%; <i>p</i> < 0.05). The PC transfusion resulted in the raise of TBARS and AGE (by 45%; <i>p</i> < 0.01 and 31%; <i>p</i> < 0.001), respectively). Other variables showed no significant post-transfusion changes. In conclusion, transfusion of both pRBCs and PCs was associated with an increased OS; however, transfusing the former may have more severe consequences, since it is associated with the irreversible oxidative/nitrative modifications of plasma proteins.
