Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) is widely used in the treatment of patients with hematological neoplasms. Since these cells circulate in small quantities in the periphery, the use of regimens that promote their mobilization is essential. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of using intermediate doses of cytarabine (1.6 g/m²) + filgrastim (10 mcg/kg/day) in the mobilization of stem cells in 157 patients treated by the Unified Health System at the Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant Service of the Hospital Real Português de Beneficência, in Recife, Pernambuco. The sample included patients with multiple myeloma (MM) (58.6 %), lymphomas (29.9 %), and other neoplasms (11.5 %). The target of 2.0 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg was achieved by 148 (94.3 %) patients, in most cases (84.1 %) in a single apheresis and the median number of cells collected was 9.5 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg. No episode of febrile neutropenia was observed, however, 79 patients (50.3 %) required platelet transfusion (no cases attributed to bleeding). The median engraftment time was 11 days. Given these results, we suggest that the use of intermediate doses of cytarabine, combined with filgrastim, is safe and effective in mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).

Alterations in microRNA Expression during Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10070668. [PMID: 34356523 PMCID: PMC8301406 DOI: 10.3390/biology10070668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary Lymphoproliferative disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of hematological malignancies characterized by abnormal lymphocyte proliferation. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation plays a very important role in the treatment of lymphoproliferative diseases. The key element in this process is the effective mobilization of hematopoietic cells from the marrow niche to the peripheral blood. Mobilization of HSC is regulated by many factors, out of which miRNAs present in the hematopoietic niche via targeting cytokines, and signaling pathways may play an important regulatory role. This study investigated the expression of selected miRNAs in patients with multiple myeloma, Hodgkin’s lymphomas, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas undergoing mobilization procedures. The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of hsa-miR-15a-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-34a-5p, hsa-miR-126-3p, hsa-miR-146a-5p, hsa-miR-155-5p, and hsa-miR-223-3p during the mobilization procedure, and to assess their role in mobilization efficacy. The level of miRNAs was tested at two time points before the initiation of mobilization and on the day of the first apheresis. Our results suggest that the investigated miRNAs, especially hsa-miR-146a-5p, may influence the efficacy of HSC mobilization. Abstract microRNAs play an important role in the regulation of gene expression, cell fate, hematopoiesis, and may influence the efficacy of CD34+ cell mobilization. The present study examines the role of hsa-miR-15a-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-34a-5p, hsa-miR-126-3p, hsa-miR-146a-5p, hsa-miR-155-5p, and hsa-miR-223-3p in the course of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization. The numbers of CD34+ cells collected in patients with hematological malignancies (39 multiple myelomas, 11 lymphomas) were determined during mobilization for an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The miRNA level was evaluated by RT-PCR. Compared to baseline, a significant decline in hsa-miR-15a-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-126-3p, hsa-miR-146a-5p, and hsa-miR-155-5p was observed on the day of the first apheresis (day A). An increase was observed only in the expression of hsa-miR-34a-5p. On day A, a negative correlation was found between hsa-miR-15a-5p and hsa-miR-146a-5p levels and the number of CD34+ cells in peripheral blood. A negative correlation was observed between hsa-miR-146a-5p and the number of collected CD34+ cells after the first apheresis. Good mobilizers, defined according to GITMO criteria, demonstrated a lower hsa-miR-146a-5p level on day A than poor mobilizers. Patients from the hsa-miR-146a-5p “low expressors” collected more CD34+ cells than “high expressors”. Our results suggest that the investigated miRNAs, especially hsa-miR-146a-5p, may influence the efficacy of HSC mobilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salvage autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT) may be used to treat relapse of multiple myeloma occurring after previous autoHSCT. When insufficient number of hematopoietic stem cells was stored from the initial harvest, remobilization of stem cells is necessary. PURPOSE The analysis of stem cell remobilization after previous autoHSCT. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-eight patients, 60% males, median 59 years, were included. Median time interval between autoHSCT and remobilization was 42 months. The first remobilization was performed mostly after chemotherapy: cyclophosphamide (33%), cytarabine (43%), and etoposide (19%). RESULTS The first remobilization was successful in 67% patients. About 19% patients required plerixafor rescue, among whom it allowed for successful harvesting in 14%. Use of cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and etoposide allowed for successful remobilization in 53%, 84%, and 55% patients, respectively. Patients treated with cytarabine had the highest yield of CD34+ cells (median 7.5 × 106 /kg vs 5.8 and 2.4 for etoposide and cyclophosphamide, P = .001). Higher percentage of patients was able to collect ≥2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg during one leukapheresis after cytarabine (76% vs 21% for cyclophosphamide vs 36% for etoposide, P = .001). Cytarabine use was associated with lower risk of remobilization failure OR = 0.217, P = .02. Toxicity comprised mostly hematological toxicity (thrombocytopenia and neutropenia). One patient succumbed to septic shock. CONCLUSION Remobilization after previous autoHSCT is feasible only in a proportion of patients. Cytarabine is associated with the highest rate of successful mobilization and the highest yield of mobilized CD34+ cells. The toxicity requires careful surveillance of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous stem cell transplantation is an established treatment option for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In this prospective multicenter study, 147 patients with MM were compared with 136 patients with NHL regarding the mobilization and apheresis of blood CD34+ cells, cellular composition of infused blood grafts, posttransplant recovery, and outcome. RESULTS Multiple myeloma patients mobilized CD34+ cells more effectively (6.3 × 106 /kg vs. 3.9 × 106 /kg, p = 0.001). The proportion of poor mobilizers (peak blood CD34+ cell count <20 × 106 /L) was higher in NHL patients (15% vs. 3%, p < 0.001). Plerixafor was added to rescue the mobilization failure in 17 MM patients (12%) and in 35 NHL patients (26%; p = 0.002). The infused grafts contained more natural killer (NK) and CD19+ cells in MM patients. Blood platelet and NK-cell counts were higher in MM patients posttransplant. Early treatment-related mortality was low in both groups, but NHL patients had a higher late (>100 days) nonrelapse mortality (NRM; 6% vs. 0%, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and MM patients differ in terms of mobilization of CD34+ cells, graft cellular composition, and posttransplant recovery. Thus, the optimal graft characteristics may also be different.

Higher efficacy of intermediate dose cytarabine + G-CSF compared to cyclophosphamide + G-CSF in hematopoietic stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma. J Clin Apher 2020; 35:246-254. [PMID: 32298020 DOI: 10.1002/jca.21784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2019] [Revised: 03/27/2020] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several regimens used in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization in multiple myeloma (MM). Cyclophosphamide (Cy) is one of the most commonly used agents, although it does not always result in collecting adequate number of CD34+ cells. Recently, cytarabine (Ara-C) has been proposed as potentially efficient and safe option. AIMS Since the data regarding Ara-C in HSC mobilization is limited, the aim of our study was to compare retrospectively the efficiency and toxicity of G-CSF combined with either Ara-C or Cy in MM patients. MATERIALS & METHODS Of a total of 89 patients, 43 received low or intermediate doses of Cy, and 46 were treated with 800 mg/m2 /day of Ara-C administered for two days. RESULTS The mean peak of CD34+ cells/ul in peripheral blood was 132 (range, 84-202) in Ara-C and 51 (range, 29-69) in Cy cohort (p < 0.001). The median number of collected CD34+ cells (×106/kg) was 10.3 (range, 4.2-17.9) vs 4.5 (range, 2.7-8.9), respectively (p < 0.001). Mobilization failure was observed in one patient in Ara-C cohort (2%) and in 8 patients treated with Cy (19%) (p = 0.013). In the Ara-C group 98% of patients obtained more than 4×106 CD34+ cells/kg required for tandem transplantation. Moreover, we observed a trend toward increased paraprotein levels measured at transplant compared to before HSC mobilization in Ara-C cohort and significantly higher transfusion rates in that group. CONCLUSION Our findings confirm higher HSC mobilization efficacy of Ara-C compared to Cy in MM patients. However, lower transfusions rate and better disease control of Cy may justify its use in some cases.

Abstract
The present retrospective analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of the VTD (bortezomib, thalidomide, dexamethasone) regimen in 205 newly-diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (MM) eligible for high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) in routine clinical practice. With a median of 6 cycles (range, 1–8), at least partial response was achieved in 94.6% and at least very good partial response (VGPR) was achieved in 67.8% of patients. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) grade 2–4 was observed in 28.7% of patients. In 72% of patients undergoing stem cell mobilization one apheresis allowed the number of stem cells sufficient for transplantation to be obtained. Following HDT/ASCT the sCR rate increased from 4.9 to 14.4% and CR from 27.8 to 35.6%. The results demonstrated that VTD as an induction regimen was highly efficient in transplant eligible patients with MM with increased at least VGPR rate following prolonged treatment (≥6 cycles). Therapy exhibited no negative impact on stem cell collection, neutrophils and platelets engraftment following ASCT. Therapy was generally well tolerated and PN was the most common reason of dose reduction or treatment discontinuation.

Intermediate-dose cytarabine plus G-CSF as mobilization regimen for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and heavily pre-treated patients with hematological and non-hematological malignancies. Transfus Apher Sci 2019; 58:318-322. [PMID: 30961974 DOI: 10.1016/j.transci.2019.03.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2018] [Revised: 02/24/2019] [Accepted: 03/23/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intermediate-dose cytarabine plus G-CSF has recently emerged as safe and effective mobilization regimen for heavily pre-treated patients with lymphoid malignancies. We prospectively tested this regimen in patients referred to our center in order to collect enough stem cells for hematopoietic rescue in autologous transplantation (auto-HSCT). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS cytarabine (1.6 g/m2) plus G-CSF (outpatient administration) was performed in 81 consecutive patients who underwent auto-HSCT. For analyses purposes patients were divided into Group A, consisted of 48 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) and Group B with 33 heavily pre-treated patients (13 Hodgkin´s lymphoma, 7 non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma, 7 MM, 4 germ cell tumor, 2 non-promyelocytic acute myeloid leukemia). RESULTS In the Group A, circulating CD34+ cells/μL was significantly higher, 90% started stem cell harvest on day 14, 98% collected ≥5.0 × 106 CD34+cells/kg and a single apheresis was sufficient in 92% of the cases. In the Group B, 85% started leukapheresis on day 14, 88% collected ≥2.0 × 106 CD34+cells/kg which was achieved with a single apheresis in 82% of the cases; a higher proportion of the patients (63.6% versus 33.3%) required platelet transfusions. Both groups exhibited few adverse events and the time to neutrophil and platelet recovery was similar between groups. CONCLUSION Intermediate-dose cytarabine plus G-CSF mobilization is effective even for heavily pre-treated patients. The outpatient administration of G-CSF, the reliable prediction of the day to begin harvesting, the optimal CD34+ cell yield obtained with a single apheresis and the fewer occurrences of adverse events denoted the benefits of this regimen.

Abstract
AbstractAutologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT) requires collection of sufficient number of hematopoietic stem cells. The goal of this study was to evaluate efficacy of plerixafor used in patients with lymphoid malignancies failing conventional stem cell mobilization.This was a prospective, non-interventional study. All consecutive patients (n = 109) treated with plerixafor in 11 centers were reported. The drug was used either in case of previous mobilization failure (n = 67) or interventionally, in case of insufficient CD34+ cell output during current mobilization (n = 42). Successful mobilization was defined as resulting in collection of ≥ 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg for single autoHSCT or ≥ 4 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg for double procedure.The overall rate of successful mobilization was 55% (55% for single and 56% for double autoHSCT). The median total number of collected CD34+ cells/kg was 2.4 (range, 0-11.5) for patients intended for a single transplantation while 4.0 (0.6-16.9) for double procedure. The number of circulating CD34+ cells increased after the use of plerixafor regardless of baseline values. The median fold increase was 3.3 (0.3-155). Data from this observational study confirm high efficacy of plerixafor used in routine clinical practice as salvage for patients with lymphoid malignancies failing conventional stem cell mobilization.
