The human population is ageing worldwide. The World Health Organization estimated that the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will increase to at least 30%, coinciding with a growing frequency of cognitive and cardiovascular disease. Recently, in preclinical studies platelet Factor 4 (PF4) was presented as a pro-cognitive factor. This molecule is released by platelets in the circulation and could be present in blood products destined for transfusion. We wondered if PF4 levels are correlated to the age of the blood donor or to the storage time of platelet concentrates (PCs) intended for transfusion? We observed higher levels of PF4 in PCs from elderly donors compared to younger donors, while PC storage time did not determine PF4 levels expression.
全球人口正在老龄化。世界卫生组织估计,全球 60 岁及以上人口将至少增加 30%,同时认知和心血管疾病的发病率也在不断上升。最近,在临床前研究中,血小板因子 4 (PF4) 被认为是一种认知促进因子。这种分子由循环中的血小板释放,可能存在于用于输血的血液制品中。我们想知道 PF4 水平是否与献血者的年龄或用于输血的血小板浓缩物 (PC) 的储存时间有关?我们观察到老年献血者的 PC 中的 PF4 水平高于年轻献血者,而 PC 的储存时间并不能决定 PF4 水平的表达。
