Expired Platelet Concentrate Up-Cycling : Growth Factor-Rich Bioproduct Preparation for FBS Substitute

Due to the short storage period, large quantities of platelet concentrate (PC) are expiring. The expired PC cannot be injected into a blood vessel, but the activity of bioactive molecules, especially growth factors, is still preserved. In this paper, we organized a process to obtain a growth factor-rich bioproduct for use as a supplement in human cell culture by optimizing freezing, thawing, and sterilization conditions. Each unit of PC displayed visual differences, diverse biochemical values, and growth factor concentrations. To minimize lot-to-lot variation, we pooled a minimum of 10 PC units. The concentrations of growth factors were maximized through five freeze-thaw cycles for 12 h at -80 °C for freezing and for 5 min at 36 °C for thawing. We used a cell strainer with 40 µm pores, followed by a 0.45 μm filter and a 0.22 μm filter sequentially to sterilize the bioproduct with minimizing loss. The obtained growth factors remained stable for 4-6 h at room temperature (23 °C), 24 h at 4 °C, and 12 months at -80 °C. Cellular responses to the growth factor-rich bioproduct were tested with primary human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells. The cells exhibited a significantly increased growth rate, compared to the fetal bovine serum (FBS)-treated control group. The cells maintained their characteristic cuboidal shape, and stem cells and renal progenitor cells also preserved their genetic characteristics during culture. Therefore, the growth factor-rich bioproduct isolated from expired PC through our process can be used as a medium supplement to replace FBS in human cell culture for clinical application.
