In-circuit pressure was elevated at the oxygenator if heparin was administered in whole blood that was stored for 7 days (Fig. S1B) . Then, we examined whether leukocyte stimulation results in elevation of in-circuit pressure since previous studies have suggested that stimulated leukocytes are prone to releasing DNA into the extracellular space 13 . Our study showed that leukocyte-derived extracellular DNA induced an elevation of in-circuit pressure. Our study suggested that extracellular DNA from disrupted leukocytes contributed to elevation of in-circuit pressure. In conclusion, our study shows that leukocyte-derived extracellular DNA contributes to abnormal in-circuit elevation of pressure in an ex vivo circuit. ./cache/cord-004170-ri5qsarz.txt ./txt/cord-004170-ri5qsarz.txt
