Red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is an independent risk factor for multiple organ failure (MOF); a maladaptive immuno-inflammatory response is implicated. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is one putative mediator of this response. We previously observed that injured patients resuscitated with pRBCs have increased plasma IL-8 compared with those given human polymerized hemoglobin (PolyHb). To further elucidate the mechanisms responsible for this difference in IL-8, we devised an ex-vivo transfusion model. We hypothesize that pRBC transfusion induces increased IL-8 gene expression that is avoided by the use of PolyHb.
