Abstract:
【Objective】 To study the effects of different storage temperature and different storage time on the activity of key growth factors in platelet-rich plasma(PRP), and to provide a theoretical basis for maximize the role of PRP in clinical treatment. 【Methods】 PRP was collected by blood cell isolation and apheresis, stored at 22℃ and -80℃, respectively. VEGF, TGF-β and PDGF were detected by ELISA. The content of growth factors in PRP was detected when stored at 22℃for 1, 3 and 5 days, and the growth factors content of PRP stored at 22℃ for 3 days was detected after thrombin activation for 0.5, 1 and 1.5 hours. The content of growth factor in frozen PRP (stored at -80℃ for 30 days after initial 3-days storage at 22℃ ) and fresh PRP (stored at 22℃ for 3 days) was compared. The growth factor content in PRP frozen at - 80℃ for 30, 60 and 180 days, and the growth factor content in PRP frozen at -80℃ for 180 days after repeated freeze-thaw for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 times were detected. 【Results】 The growth factor content of apheresis PRP was significantly higher than that of platelet-poor plasma. No statistical difference was noticed in VEGF, TGF-β and PDGF content in PRP at 1, 3 and 5 days stored at 22℃; no statistical difference was noticed in VEGF, TGF-β and PDGF content in PRP stored at 22℃ for 3 days after thrombin activation for 0.5, 1 and 1.5 hours. There was no statistically significant difference in growth factor content between PRP stored at 22℃ for 3 days versus frozen at -80℃ for 30 days after initial 3-days storage at 22℃. No statistical difference was found in VEGF, TGF-β and PDGF contents in frozen PRP repeatedly frozen and thawed for 1 to 10 times. 【Conclusion】 Apheresis PRP can release a large amount of growth factors after activation. Fresh PRP stored at 22℃ for 5 days or frozen at -80℃ for 180 days has no impact on the content of growth factors, and frozen PRP at -80℃ can achieve long-term, effective and safe preservation, which is conducive to multiple use of PRP in treatment.
