Engraftment failure (EF) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a serious complication. We prospectively evaluated the effects and safeties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) alone and MSCs combined with cord blood (CB) for EF. Twenty-two patients were randomized to receive MSCs (MSC group; n = 11) or MSCs plus CB (CB group; n = 11). Patients with no response (NR) to MSCs received the therapeutic schedule in the CB group, and those patients with partial response (PR) in the MSC group and patients without complete remission (CR) in the CB group received another cycle of MSC treatment. Patients who did not achieve CR after 2 cycles of treatments received other treatments, including allogeneic HSCT. After the first treatment cycle, response was seen in 7 of 11 patients in the MSC group and in 9 of 11 in the CB group (P = .635), with a significant difference in neutrophil reconstruction between the 2 groups (P = .030). After 2 treatment cycles, 16 patients achieved CR, 3 achieved PR, and 3 had NR. No patient experienced graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). With a median follow-up of 345 d (range, 129 to 784 d) post-transplantation, 18 patients remained alive and 4 had died (3 from primary disease relapse and 1 from cytomegalovirus pneumonia). The 2-year overall survival, disease-free survival, and cumulative incidence of tumor relapse post-transplantation were 75.2% ± 12.0%, 79.5% ± 9.4%, and 20.5% ± 9.4%, respectively. Our data indicate that the 2 strategies are effective for EF and do not result in GVHD or increase the risk of tumor relapse, but the MSC plus CB regimen has a superior effect on neutrophil reconstruction. 相似文献

Poor graft function (PGF) is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and is characterized by defective hematopoiesis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to support hematopoiesis, but little is known about the role of MSCs in the pathogenesis of PGF. In the current prospective case-control study, we evaluated whether the number and function of bone marrow (BM) MSCs in PGF patients differed from those in good graft function (GGF) patients. We found that BM MSCs from PGF patients expanded more slowly and appeared flattened and larger, exhibiting more apoptosis and senescence than MSCs from GGF patients. Furthermore, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species, p-p53, and p21 (but not p38) levels were detected in MSCs from PGF patients. Moreover, the ability of MSCs to sustain hematopoiesis was significantly reduced in PGF patients, as evaluated by cell number, apoptosis, and the colony-forming unit–plating efficiency of CD34+ cells. In summary, the biologic characteristics of PGF MSCs are different from those of GGF MSCs, and the in vitro hematopoiesis-supporting ability of PGF MSCs is significantly lower. Although requiring further validation, our study indicates that reduced and dysfunctional BM MSCs may contribute to deficient hematopoiesis in PGF patients. Therefore, improvement of BM MSCs may represent a promising therapeutic approach for PGF patients after allo-HSCT. 相似文献

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have unique immunomodulatory and reparative properties beneficial for allotransplantation cellular therapy. The clinical administration of autologous or allogeneic MSC with immunosuppressive drugs is able to prevent and treat allograft rejection in kidney transplant recipients, thus supporting the immunomodulatory role of MSC. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is known to enhance the immunosuppressive properties of MSC. IFN-γ preactivated MSC (MSC-γ) directly or indirectly modulates T cell responses by enhancing or inducing MSC inhibitory factors. These factors are known to downregulate T cell activation, enhance T cell negative signalling, alter T cells from a proinflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype, interact with antigen-presenting cells and increase or induce regulatory cells. Highly immunosuppressive MSC-γ with increased migratory and reparative capacities may aid tissue repair, prolong allograft survival and induce allotransplant tolerance in experimental models. Nevertheless, there are contradictory in vivo observations related to allogeneic MSC-γ therapy. Many studies report that allogeneic MSC are immunogenic due to their inherent expression of major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules. Enhanced expression of MHC in allogeneic MSC-γ may increase their immunogenicity and this can negatively impact allograft survival. Therefore, strategies to reduce MSC-γ immunogenicity would facilitate “off-the-shelf” MSC therapy to efficiently inhibit alloimmune rejection and promote tissue repair in allotransplantation. In this review, we examine the potential benefits of MSC therapy in the context of allotransplantation. We also discuss the use of autologous and allogeneic MSC and the issues associated with their immunogenicity in vivo, with particular focus on the use of enhanced MSC-γ cellular therapy. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the standard outpatient dose of 131-Iodine tositumomab (75 cGy) combined with high-dose carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) followed by autologous stem cell rescue for the treatment of chemotherapy-sensitive relapsed or refractory, or high-risk first complete remission (CR) patients with diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLBCL). Forty patients with chemotherapy-sensitive persistent or relapsed or high/intermediate or high international prognostic index DLCBL were treated in a phase II trial combining 75 cGy 131-Iodine tositumomab with high-dose BEAM followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. The CR rate after transplantation was 78%, and the overall response rate was 80%. Short-term and long-term toxicities were similar to historical control patients treated with BEAM alone. With a median follow-up of 6 years (range, 3-10 years), the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 72% (95% confidence interval [CI], 55%-83%), and the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 70% (95% CI, 53%-82%). The PFS and OS were encouraging in this group of chemotherapy-sensitive persistent, relapsed, or high-risk patients with DLBCL. A follow-up phase III trial with 131-Iodine tositumomab/BEAM vs rituximab/BEAM was planned based on this information. 相似文献

Based on their ability to differentiate into multiple cell types including hepatocytes, the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been suggested as an effective therapy for chronic liver diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy and therapeutic effects of MSCs in patients with chronic liver disease through a literature-based examination. We performed a systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) of the literature using the Ovid-MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases (up to November 2014) to identify clinical studies in which patients with liver diseases were treated with MSC therapy. Of the 568 studies identified by the initial literature search, we analyzed 14 studies and 448 patients based on our selection criteria. None of the studies reported the occurrence of statistically significant adverse events, side effects or complications. The majority of the analyzed studies showed improvements in liver function, ascites and encephalopathy. In particular, an MA showed that MSC therapy improved the total bilirubin level, the serum albumin level and the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score after MSC treatment. Based on these results, MSC transplantation is considered to be safe for the treatment of chronic liver disease. However, although MSCs are potential therapeutic agents that may improve liver function, in order to obtain meaningful insights into their clinical efficacy, further robust clinical studies must be conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes, such as histological improvement, increased survival and reduced liver-related complications, in patients with chronic liver disease. 相似文献

We conducted a prospective phase 2 trial of gemcitabine, busulfan and melphalan (Gem/Bu/Mel) with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with primary refractory or poor-risk relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (ie, extranodal relapse or within 1 year of frontline therapy). The trial was powered to detect an improvement in 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) from a historical 50% using a BEAM regimen (carmustine/etoposide/cytarabine/melphalan) to 65%. We compared the study population with all other concurrent patients who were eligible for the trial but instead received the BEAM regimen at our center. No patient received post-ASCT maintenance therapy. The Gem/Bu/Mel trial enrolled 80 patients with a median age of 31 years, 41% with primary refractory HL and 59% with relapsed HL (36% extranodal relapses), and 30% with positron emission tomography (PET)-positive lesions at ASCT. The concurrent BEAM (n?=?45) and Gem/Bu/Mel cohorts were well balanced except for higher rates of bulky relapse and PET-positive tumors in the Gem/Bu/Mel cohort. There were no transplantation-related deaths in either cohort. At a median follow-up of 34.5 months (range, 26 to 72 months), Gem/Bu/Mel was associated with better 2-year PFS (65% versus 51%; P?=?.008) and overall survival (89% versus 73%; P?=?.0003). In conclusion, our data show that Gem/Bu/Mel is safe, in this nonrandomized comparison yielding improved outcomes compared with a concurrently treated and prognostically matched cohort of patients with primary refractory or poor-risk relapsed HL receiving BEAM. 相似文献

Introduction
Whether transplanted cardiac stem cells (CSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improved ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT) similarly is still unclear. We sought to compare the effects of the CSC and MSC transplantation on the electrophysiological characteristics and VFT in rats with myocardial infarction (MI).Methods
MI was induced in 30 male Sprague–Dawley rats. Two weeks later, animals were randomized to receive 5?×?106 CSCs labeled with PKH26 in PBS or 5?×?106 MSCs labeled with PKH26 in phosphate buffer solution(PBS) or PBS alone injection into the infarcted anterior ventricular free wall. Six weeks after the injection, electrophysiological characteristics and VFT were measured. Labeled CSCs and MSCs were observed in 5 μm cryostat sections from each heart.Results
Malignant ventricular arrhythmias were significantly (P?=?0.0055) less inducible in the CSC group than the MSC group. The VFTs were improved in the CSC group compared with the MSC group. Labeled CSCs and MSCs were identified in the infarct zone and infarct marginal zone. Labeled CSCs expressed Connexin-43, von Willebrand factor, α-smooth muscle actin and α-sarcomeric actin,while the Labeled MSCs expressed von Willebrand factor, α-smooth muscle actin and α-sarcomeric actin in vivo.Conclusions
After 6 weeks of cell transplantation, CSCs are superior to MSCs in modulating the electrophysiological abnormality and improving the VFT in rats with MI. CSCs and MSCs express markers that suggest muscle, endothelium and vascular smooth muscle phenotypes in vivo, but MSCs rarely express Connexin-43. 相似文献12.

Melphalan 200 mg/m2 is the standard conditioning regimen for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) with normal renal function (NRF) undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). In an effort to escalate the dose of melphalan and to improve the efficacy, we designed a dose-escalation study of melphalan in conjunction with palifermin in patients with NRF, with the hope that a higher dose of melphalan can be administered with an acceptable degree of oral mucositis (OM). We enrolled 19 patients (18 evaluable) with NRF. Dose-escalation of melphalan administered on day −2 began at 200 mg/m2 with palifermin administered at a fixed dose of 60 mcg/kg/day. Palifermin was given as an i.v. bolus on day −5, −4, and −3, and then on day +1, +2, and +3. Subsequent dose escalations of melphalan were done at 20 mg/m2 increments up to a maximum dose of 280 mg/m2. Of 18 evaluable patients, there were no treatment-related deaths by day 100. The median age was 48.5 years (range, 33-65 years). The most common adverse events related to palifermin included rash (18 events, no ≥grade 3 events), elevation of amylase (10 events, 4 were grade 3 but asymptomatic), and lipase (5 events, 2 were grade 3 but asymptomatic), edema (11 events, no ≥grade 3). The overall incidence of OM grade 3 was 44% (8/18) with a median duration of severe mucositis of 5 days (range, 3-6 days). Eleven patients (61%) required opioid analgesics. None of the patients received total parenteral nutrition (TPN)/nasogastric feeding. Two of 6 patients who were given melphalan 280 mg/m2 did not develop OM. Cardiac dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the form of atrial fibrillation did occur in 1 of 6 patients treated with melphalan 280 mg/m2. Palifermin has permitted safe dose escalation of melphalan up to 280 mg/m2, thus reaching the cumulative dosage of melphalan administered in tandem ASCT. This higher dose of melphalan has the potential to improve the efficacy and, hopefully, outcomes of patients with MM with a single ASCT. A phase 2 trial is necessary to better delineate the antimyeloma efficacy of this regimen. 相似文献

Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) occurs frequently during autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) and data regarding the incidence, risk factors, and management are understudied. We evaluated 789 consecutive patients with lymphoma and myeloma that underwent AHCT over 10 years (2006 to 2016) and detected the incidence of CRT was 6.3%; only 32% of CRT were symptomatic. The majority occurred within 100 days of AHCT (86%) and median time from tunneled line placement to CRT was 44 days (range, 11 to 89 days). Outcomes of these 50 patients with CRT were compared with age- and disease-matched AHCT control subjects to identify risk factors. History of prior venous thromboembolism (VTE) (20.9% versus 7.0%, P = .02) was the only significant risk factor. Treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin was tolerated with rare minor bleeding (4%), although CRT recurrence or extension (10%) and subsequent VTE (12%) were common. CRT did not impact on nonrelapse mortality or risk of relapse; 2-year progression-free survival was 55% in CRT cases versus 54% in control subjects (P = .42). CRT appears to be common in patients with lymphoma and myeloma undergoing AHCT and significantly contributes to morbidity. Further study to determine mitigating strategies and modify risk factors for CRT is warranted. 相似文献

Stem cell transplantation can be associated with significant periods of thrombocytopenia, necessitating platelet transfusions and contributing to the risk of bleeding. Thrombopoietin receptor agonists have been shown to enhance platelet counts in other clinical settings, and so a phase 1 clinical trial was conducted to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and maximum tolerated dose of once-daily eltrombopag in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation with conditioning regimens containing total body irradiation ≥400 cGy. Eltrombopag was examined at dosage levels of 75, 150, 225, and 300 mg given orally once daily for 27 days, starting at 24 to 48 hours post-transplantation. Pharmacokinetic sampling was performed over a 24-hour period after the first dose of eltrombopag, as well as during the second week of treatment (steady-state). Nineteen patients were enrolled, 15 of whom completed protocol treatments. Three patients completed each dose level up to 225 mg, and 6 completed treatment at the highest dose of 300 mg. Four patients were replaced because drug compliance was <75% of planned doses. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in this heterogeneous post-transplantation patient population. Common adverse events were related to standard stem cell transplantation. One episode of pulmonary embolus occurred 9 days after discontinuation of eltrombopag, and the only other thromboembolic episode was a grade 2 catheter-related clot. We conclude that up to 27 days of once-daily dosing of eltrombopag after stem cell transplantation is well tolerated. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in practically all tissues as a specialized
population of mural cells/pericytes that lie on the abluminal side of blood vessels. Originally identified within the bone
marrow (BM) stroma, not only do they provide microenvironmental support for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), but can also
differentiate into various mesodermal lineages. MSCs can easily be isolated from the BM and subsequently expand in vitro and
in addition they exhibit intriguing immunomodulatory properties, thereby emerging as attractive candidates for various therapeutic
applications. This review addresses the concept of BM MSCs via a hematologist’s point of view. In this context it discusses
the stem cell properties that have been attributed to BM MSCs, as compared to those of the prototypic hematopoietic stem cell
model and then gives a brief overview of the in vitro and vivo features of the former, emphasizing on their immunoregulatory
properties and their hematopoiesis-supporting role. In addition, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of BM MSCs
within the context of a defective microenvironment, such as the one characterizing Myelodysplastic Syndromes are described
and the potential involvement of these cells in the pathophysiology of the disease is discussed. Finally, emerging clinical
applications of BM MSCs in the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are reviewed and potential hazards from MSC
use are outlined. 相似文献

Upfront high-dose myeloablative chemotherapy followed by a single autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard therapy for patients under the age of 65 years with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Because disease status after induction chemotherapy is variable, we evaluated the prognostic effect of disease status before ASCT, especially in patients who were initially chemosensitive. We retrospectively analyzed the initially chemosensitive MM patients (≥ partial remission [PR]) enrolled in the Korean Multiple Myeloma Working Party Web-based registration system (www.myeloma.or.kr). Between November 1996 and January 2007, 197 MM patients (median age 53 years) were treated with induction chemotherapy followed by a single ASCT. All patients received peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) support after conditioning with melphalan (Mel) alone. We considered those patients with no detectable M-protein regardless of the result of immunofixation to be in complete remission (CR) in this study. The median follow-up times were 29.2 months (range, 5.4 to 103.8 months) from the day of diagnosis and 22.4 months (range, 0.4 to 96.0 months) from the day of ASCT. Before ASCT, 63 patients (32%) were in CR and 134 (68%) were in partial remission (PR). The patients in CR had significantly longer overall survival (OS) from the day of ASCT compared with those in PR (P = .0015). Among the patients who received induction chemotherapy with vincristine, adriamycin, and dexamethasone (n = 162), the same difference in OS was seen between those in CR and those in PR before ASCT (P = .0016). CR after ASCT also predicted longer OS (P = .0135); however, patients with continued CR after ASCT had significantly higher OS after ASCT compared with patient with induced CR after ASCT who were in PR before ASCT (P = .0178). Multivariate analysis indicated that remission status pre-ASCT (CR vs PR) is a significant prognostic factor for predicting OS after ASCT (P = .012, Cox proportional hazard analysis; odds ratio = 2.83; 95% confidence interval = 1.25 to 6.37). We conclude that patients with MM who are in CR before ASCT have a better OS than those in PR before ASCT. Continued CR after ASCT may be an important prognostic factor as well. Our findings suggest that the development of more effective induction regimens, including novel antimyeloma agents to improve initial response, should be pursued to enhance clinical benefits post-ASCT. 相似文献

Purpose
To determine whether renal injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) could be further improved by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) modified with survivin.Materials and Methods
Lentiviral vectors were used to introduce the survivin gene into MSCs and the MSCs modified with survivin were transplanted into established mice models of renal I/R injury. Seven days later, serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured and the survival of MSCs was determined. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to assess renal pathological change. The expressions of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in kidney tissue were detected by western blot.Results
Mice transplanted with survivin-modified MSCs demonstrated good renal function recovery with Scr and BUN decline close to normal levels and improvement of renal I/R injury repair. Additionally, the survival of transplanted MSCs modified with survivin was enhanced and the expression of HGF and bFGF in kidney tissue was increased.Conclusion
Our results demonstrated that MSCs engineered to over-express survivin could enhance their therapeutic effect on renal I/R injury in mice, probably via the improved survival ability of MSCs and increased production of protective cytokines in ischemic tissue. 相似文献20.

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRa) is a critical receptor for cytomegalovirus (CMV) entry into cells, leading to subsequent infection. This trial tested whether PDGFRa inhibition by nilotinib could prevent CMV infection in patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Nilotinib (200 mg/day) was given continuously after engraftment, and plasma CMV DNA levels were monitored weekly. The primary endpoint was successful prophylaxis of CMV infection, defined as plasma CMV DNA copies less than 10,000 copies/mL, no anti-CMV treatment initiated, and no clinical CMV disease by day 100. All 37 enrolled recipients and their donors were CMV seropositive. Thirty patients received matched sibling transplants, 15 received nonmyeloablative conditioning regimens, and 15 received antithymocyte globulin as a part of graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. The median interval from transplantation to nilotinib treatment was 23 days, and the median duration of administration was 76 days. None of the 31 assessable patients had nilotinib-associated grade 3/4 adverse events or nilotinib discontinuation. Twenty-five of 31 assessable patients (80.6%) fulfilled the predefined criteria for successful CMV prophylaxis, and none of them had clinical CMV disease. Only 1 of 6 failed patients developed CMV colitis. Nilotinib is well tolerated in allo-HSCT recipients, and its preliminary efficacy results suggest that blocking CMV entry to prevent CMV infection may warrant further exploration.
