Background: Transfusion of blood at the limits of approved storage time is associated with lower red blood cell (RBC) post-transfusion recovery and hemolysis, which increases plasma cell-free hemoglobin and iron, proposed to induce endothelial dysfunction and impair host defense. There is noted variability among donors in the intrinsic rate of storage changes and RBC post-transfusion recovery, yet genetic determinants that modulate this process are unclear.Methods: We explore RBC storage stability and post-transfusion recovery in murine models of allogeneic and xenogeneic transfusion using blood from humanized transgenic sickle cell hemizygous mice (Hba(tm1Paz)Hbb(tm1Tow)Tg( HBA-HBBs)41Paz/J) and human donors with a common genetic mutation sickle cell trait (HbAS).Findings: Human and transgenic HbAS RBCs demonstrate accelerated storage time-dependent hemolysis and reduced post-transfusion recovery in mice. The rapid post-transfusion clearance of stored HbAS RBC is unrelated to macrophage-mediated uptake or intravascular hemolysis, but by enhanced sequestration in the spleen, kidney and liver. HbAS RBCs are intrinsically different from HbAA RBCs, with reduced membrane deformability as cells age in cold storage, leading to accelerated clearance of transfused HbAS RBCs by entrapment in organ microcirculation.Interpretation: The common genetic variant HbAS enhances RBC storage dysfunction and raises provocative questions about the use of HbAS RBCs at the limits of approved storage.
