Contributions of unfrozen fraction and of salt concentration to the survival of slowly frozen human erythrocytes: influence of warming rate.

Abstract:

:The general belief is that slow freezing injury is either the result of exposure to high salt concentrations or the result of excessive cell shrinkage. Increased salt concentration arises as increasing amounts of pure ice precipitate out of solution during freezing and cause the liquid-filled channels in which the cells are sequestered to dwindle in size. Cell shrinkage is an osmotic response to the concentration of external solutes. The consensus has been that the injury is related to the composition of the solution in these channels and not to the amount of residual liquid. Ordinarily, salt concentration and the amount of liquid in the unfrozen channels are reciprocally related; but they can be separated within limits by varying the total concentration of solutes in the suspending medium while holding the mass ratio of additive to salt constant, and by then slowly freezing samples to various subzero temperatures, chosen to produce various molalities of salt, while holding the unfrozen fraction constant, or vice versa. We have recently reported (9) that when human red cells are frozen under these conditions and thawed rapidly, survival is more dependent on the unfrozen water fraction than it is on the salt concentration in that fraction. The present work compares these results with those obtained with slow thawing. While the general conclusion remains unaltered, slowly thawed cells were able to survive the freezing of a higher fraction of extracellular water than were rapidly thawed cells. Calculations were made of the changes in cell volume during the equilibration with glycerol and the subsequent freezing involved in these experiments. Cell size and cell solute concentration were found to be independent of the fraction of unfrozen extracellular water, but cell survival was strongly dependent on that fraction. If applicable to other than human red cells, this finding is likely to require major modifications in current views of slow-freezing injury and its prevention.
