自体纯化CD34+细胞移植治疗严重自身免疫性疾病的初步研究

目的探讨自体外周血CD34+细胞移植治疗严重自身免疫性疾病的干细胞动员、细胞采集和分选、预处理和并发症处理等问题.方法 10例重度自身免疫性疾病患者接受自体外周血CD34+细胞移植治疗.采用环磷酰胺(CTX)+rhG-CSF方案动员外周血干细胞,并以CliniMACS细胞分选仪分选CD34+细胞,适时用CTX+抗胸腺细胞球蛋白(7例)或CTX+全身照射(3例)两种预处理方案后,进行CD34+细胞回输的方法治疗.结果经CTX+rhG-CSF方案动员并以CliniMACS细胞分选仪分选后,可获得(1.98±0.95)×108的CD34+细胞,其纯度为(91.4±10.6)%,回收率为(60.5±19.8)%.在回输(2.14±1.05)×106/kg的CD34+细胞后,ANC ≥0.5×109/L的时间为(8.6±2.5)d,血小板升至20×109/L的时间为(9.0±5.2)d.在造血恢复后,所有CD3+细胞、CD19+细胞和CD16+CD56+细胞均未恢复至移植前状态.在造血和免疫抑制时,巨细胞病毒感染的发生率较高.2例患者死于移植相关并发症.所有患者近期疗效满意,6例系统性红斑狼疮患者DAI评分由移植前的平均17分降为移植后的4分;类风湿关节炎患者DAS28评分由6.4分降至1.8分;干燥综合征患者的症状和体征均明显缓解.结论对常规治疗无效的严重自身免疫性疾病,自体外周血CD34+细胞移植是可选择的治疗方法之一.

A preliminary study on the treatment of severe autoimmune disease with autologous peripheral CD34+ cell transplantation

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of autologous peripheral CD(34)(+) cell transplantation for the treatment of severe autoimmune disease. METHODS: Ten patients received mobilized and purified CD(34)(+) cells transplantation. The mobilization regimen was CTX plus rhG-CSF and the CD(34)(+) cells were selected by CliniMACS. (1.98 +/- 0.95) x 10(8) CD(34)(+) cells were obtained. The purity of CD(34)(+) cells was (91.4 +/- 10.6)% and the recovering rate was (60.5 +/- 19.8)%. The conditioning regimens were CTX (200 mg/kg) plus ATG (90 mg/kg) or CTX (150 mg/kg) plus TBI (4 - 6 Gy). (2.14 +/- 1.05) x 10(6)/kg CD(34)(+) cells were infused. The time of ANC >or= 0.5 x 10(9)/L was 8.6 +/- 2.5 days, and platelet >or= 20 x 10(9)/L was 9.0 +/- 5.2 days. After the hematopoietic recovery, the levels of CD(3)(+) T cell, CD(19)(+) B cells and CD(16)(+)CD(56)(+) NK cells were all below that of pre-transplantation. The main transplant-related complication was CMV infection. The transplant-related mortality was 2/10. All patients who survived showed improvement of the disease with DAI score decreasing from 17 to 4 in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, DAS 28 score from 6.4 to 1.8 in rheumatoid arthritis patients. CONCLUSION: The result suggests that autologous peripheral CD(34)(+) cell transplantation is an alternative choice for the treatment of severe autoimmune disease. The short-term outcome is satisfying.
