Abstract
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an emerging infectious disease that remains a global public health threat. The highest incidence rate is among zoonotic disease cases in Russia. Most cases of HFRS are reported in the Volga region of Russia, which commonly identifies the Puumala virus (PUUV) as a pathogen. HFRS management is especially challenging due to the lack of specific treatments and vaccines. This study aims to develop new approaches for HFRS prevention. Our goal is to test the efficacy of microvesicles (MVs) as PUUV nucleocapsid (N) and glycoproteins (Gn/Gc) delivery vehicles. Our findings show that MVs could deliver the PUUV N and Gn/Gc proteins in vitro. We have also demonstrated that MVs loaded with PUUV proteins could elicit a specific humoral and cellular immune response in vivo. These data suggest that an MV-based vaccine could control HFRS.

Yunir E, Kurniawan F, Rezaprasga E, Wijaya IP, Suroyo I, Matondang S, Irawan C, Soewondo P. Autologous Bone-Marrow vs. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients. Int J Stem Cells 2021; 14:21-32.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains one of the most important risk factors for peripheral artery disease (PAD), with approximately 20% of DM patients older than 40 years old are affected with PAD. The current standard management for severe PAD is endovascular intervention with or without surgical bypass. Unfortunately, up to 40% of patients are unable to undergo these revascularization therapies due to excessive surgical risk or adverse vascular side effects. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a novel therapeutic strategy for these ‘no-option’ patients. Several types of stem cells are utilized for PAD therapy, including bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC). Many studies have reported the safety of BMMNC and PBMNC, as well as its efficacy in reducing ischemic pain, ulcer size, pain-free walking distance, ankle-brachial index (ABI), and transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2). However, the capacity to establish the efficacy of reducing major amputation rates, amputation free survival, and all-cause mortality is limited, as shown by several randomized placebo-controlled trials. The present literature review will focus on comparing safety and efficacy between BMMNC and PBMNC as cell-based management in diabetic patients with PAD who are not suitable for revascularization therapy.

Abstract
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation is a curative approach in various malignant and non-malignant disorders. The majority of adult transplants in the current era are performed using mobilized stem cells, harvested from the peripheral blood by leukapheresis. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections are designed to target a dose of stem cells that will result in safe engraftment and hematopoietic recovery; however, 99 % of the cells contained in a PBSC graft are not stem cells and a growing number of studies attempt to characterize the associations between graft composition and transplant outcomes. A better understanding of the impact of the quantity and quality of various cell types in PBSC grafts may lead to development of novel collection strategies or improved donor selection algorithms. Here we review relevant findings from recent studies in this area.

Abstract
Bone fractures are associated with considerable morbidity and increased mortality. A major limitation to healing is lack of bone blood flow, which is impaired by physical disruption of intraskeletal and/or periosteal vasculature by the fracture. Thus, pharmacological interventions are needed to improve osseous blood flow, thereby accelerating bone fracture closure. Relaxin is secreted by the ovary and circulates in rodents and humans during pregnancy. Because relaxin might benefit bone fracture healing by stimulating angiogenesis, vasculogenesis (and potentially osteogenesis) through mobilization and activation of bone marrow progenitor cells, and by increasing blood flow via vasodilation, we investigated whether relaxin administration would accelerate closure of a calvarial defect in mice. Whether administered systemically by osmotic pump or locally by collagen scaffolds for ~2 week period after lesioning, relaxin did not accelerate bone healing. Despite implementing relaxin doses that reached plasma concentrations spanning the physiological to supraphysiological range, testing the closure of two different sizes of calvarial lesions, allowing for different intervals of time from instigation of cranial lesion to euthanasia, and investigating mice of different ages, we did not observe a significant benefit of relaxin in bone lesion healing. Nor did we observe stimulation of blood vessel formation in the bone lesion by the hormone. An incidental finding was that relaxin appeared to enhance trabecular bone growth in an uninjured control bone (femur). Although the results of this study were not supportive of a therapeutic benefit for relaxin on calvarial defect closure, future investigation is needed employing different animal species and experimental models of bone fracture.

Abstract
Stem cell mobilization plays important roles in the treatment of severe ischemic diseases, including myocardial infarction, limb ischemia, ischemic stroke, and acute kidney injury. Stem cell mobilization refers to the egress of heterogeneous stem cells residing in the bone marrow into the peripheral blood. In the clinic, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the drug most commonly used to induce stem cell mobilization. Plerixafor, a direct antagonist of CXCR4, is also frequently used alone or in combination with G-CSF to mobilize stem cells. The molecular mechanisms by which G-CSF induces stem cell mobilization are well characterized. Briefly, G-CSF activates neutrophils in the bone marrow, which then release proteolytic enzymes, such as neutrophil elastase, cathepsin G, and matrix metalloproteinase 9, which cleave a variety of molecules responsible for stem cell retention in the bone marrow, including CXCL12, VCAM-1, and SCF. Subsequently, stem cells are released from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood. The released stem cells can be collected and used in autologous or allogeneic transplantation. To identify better conditions for stem cell mobilization in the treatment of acute and chronic ischemic diseases, several preclinical and clinical studies have been conducted over the past decade on various mobilizing agents. In this paper, we are going to review methods that induce mobilization of stem cells from the bone marrow and introduce the application of stem cell mobilization to therapy of ischemic diseases.

Abstract
In immunocompromised patients, parainfluenza virus (PIV) infections have an increased potential to spread to the lower respiratory tract (LRT), resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Understanding the immunologic defects that facilitate viral spread to the LRT will help in developing better management protocols. In this study, we immunosuppressed mice with dexamethasone and/or cyclophosphamide then monitored the spread of viral infection into the LRT by using a noninvasive bioluminescence imaging system and a reporter Sendai virus (murine PIV type 1). Our results show that immunosuppression led to delayed viral clearance and increased viral loads in the lungs. After cessation of cyclophosphamide treatment, viral clearance occurred before the generation of Sendai-specific antibody responses and coincided with rebounds in neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells. Neutrophil suppression using anti-Ly6G antibody had no effect on infection clearance, NK-cell suppression using anti-NK antibody delayed clearance, and T-cell suppression using anti-CD3 antibody resulted in no clearance (chronic infection). Therapeutic use of hematopoietic growth factors G-CSF and GM-CSF had no effect on clearance of infection. In contrast, treatment with Sendai virus-specific polysera or a monoclonal antibody limited viral spread into the lungs and accelerated clearance. Overall, noninvasive bioluminescence was shown to be a useful tool to study respiratory viral progression, revealing roles for NK and T cells, but not neutrophils, in Sendai virus clearance after treatment with dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide. Virus-specific antibodies appear to have therapeutic potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Febrile neutropenia (FN) and other infectious complications are some of the most serious treatment-related toxicities of chemotherapy for cancer, with a mortality rate of 2% to 21%. The two main types of prophylactic regimens are granulocyte (macrophage) colony-stimulating factors (G(M)-CSF) and antibiotics, frequently quinolones or cotrimoxazole. Current guidelines recommend the use of colony-stimulating factors when the risk of febrile neutropenia is above 20%, but they do not mention the use of antibiotics. However, both regimens have been shown to reduce the incidence of infections. Since no systematic review has compared the two regimens, a systematic review was undertaken. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of G(M)-CSF compared to antibiotics in cancer patients receiving myelotoxic chemotherapy. SEARCH METHODS We searched The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, databases of ongoing trials, and conference proceedings of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Society of Hematology (1980 to December 2015). We planned to include both full-text and abstract publications. Two review authors independently screened search results. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing prophylaxis with G(M)-CSF versus antibiotics for the prevention of infection in cancer patients of all ages receiving chemotherapy. All study arms had to receive identical chemotherapy regimes and other supportive care. We included full-text, abstracts, and unpublished data if sufficient information on study design, participant characteristics, interventions and outcomes was available. We excluded cross-over trials, quasi-randomised trials and post-hoc retrospective trials. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened the results of the search strategies, extracted data, assessed risk of bias, and analysed data according to standard Cochrane methods. We did final interpretation together with an experienced clinician. MAIN RESULTS In this updated review, we included no new randomised controlled trials. We included two trials in the review, one with 40 breast cancer patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy and G-CSF compared to antibiotics, a second one evaluating 155 patients with small-cell lung cancer receiving GM-CSF or antibiotics.We judge the overall risk of bias as high in the G-CSF trial, as neither patients nor physicians were blinded and not all included patients were analysed as randomised (7 out of 40 patients). We considered the overall risk of bias in the GM-CSF to be moderate, because of the risk of performance bias (neither patients nor personnel were blinded), but low risk of selection and attrition bias.For the trial comparing G-CSF to antibiotics, all cause mortality was not reported. There was no evidence of a difference for infection-related mortality, with zero events in each arm. Microbiologically or clinically documented infections, severe infections, quality of life, and adverse events were not reported. There was no evidence of a difference in frequency of febrile neutropenia (risk ratio (RR) 1.22; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.53 to 2.84). The quality of the evidence for the two reported outcomes, infection-related mortality and frequency of febrile neutropenia, was very low, due to the low number of patients evaluated (high imprecision) and the high risk of bias.There was no evidence of a difference in terms of median survival time in the trial comparing GM-CSF and antibiotics. Two-year survival times were 6% (0 to 12%) in both arms (high imprecision, low quality of evidence). There were four toxic deaths in the GM-CSF arm and three in the antibiotics arm (3.8%), without evidence of a difference (RR 1.32; 95% CI 0.30 to 5.69; P = 0.71; low quality of evidence). There were 28% grade III or IV infections in the GM-CSF arm and 18% in the antibiotics arm, without any evidence of a difference (RR 1.55; 95% CI 0.86 to 2.80; P = 0.15, low quality of evidence). There were 5 episodes out of 360 cycles of grade IV infections in the GM-CSF arm and 3 episodes out of 334 cycles in the cotrimoxazole arm (0.8%), with no evidence of a difference (RR 1.55; 95% CI 0.37 to 6.42; P = 0.55; low quality of evidence). There was no significant difference between the two arms for non-haematological toxicities like diarrhoea, stomatitis, infections, neurologic, respiratory, or cardiac adverse events. Grade III and IV thrombopenia occurred significantly more frequently in the GM-CSF arm (60.8%) compared to the antibiotics arm (28.9%); (RR 2.10; 95% CI 1.41 to 3.12; P = 0.0002; low quality of evidence). Neither infection-related mortality, incidence of febrile neutropenia, nor quality of life were reported in this trial. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS As we only found two small trials with 195 patients altogether, no conclusion for clinical practice is possible. More trials are necessary to assess the benefits and harms of G(M)-CSF compared to antibiotics for infection prevention in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

Abstract
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein, the second CSF, sharing some common effects with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3) and interleukin-5 (IL-5). G-CSF is mainly produced by fibroblasts and endothelial cells from bone marrow stroma and by immunocompetent cells (monocytes, macrophages). The receptor for G-CSF (G-CSFR) is part of the cytokine and hematopoietin receptor superfamily and G-CSFR mutations cause severe congenital neutropenia. The main action of G-CSF - G-CSFR linkage is stimulation of the production, mobilization, survival and chemotaxis of neutrophils, but there are many other G-CSF effects: growth and migration of endothelial cells, decrease of norepinephrine reuptake, increase in osteoclastic activity and decrease in osteoblast activity. In oncology, G-CSF is utilized especially for the primary prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, but it can be used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, it can produce monocytic differentiation of some myeloid leukemias and it can increase some drug resistance. The therapeutic indications of G-CSF are becoming more and more numerous: non neutropenic patients infections, reproductive medicine, neurological disturbances, regeneration therapy after acute myocardial infarction and of skeletal muscle, and hepatitis C therapy.

Abstract
Peripheral blood progenitor cell mobilization practices vary significantly among institutions. Effective mobilization regimens include growth factor alone, chemotherapy and growth factor combined, and, more recently, incorporation of plerixafor with either approach. Many institutions have developed algorithms to improve stem cell mobilization success rates and cost-effectiveness. However, an optimal stem cell mobilization regimen has not been defined. Practical guidelines are needed to address important clinical questions, including which growth factor is optimal, what chemotherapy and dose is most effective, and when to initiate leukapheresis. We present recommendations, based on a comprehensive review of the literature, from the American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Abstract
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) both mobilize CD34(+) stem cells into the blood when administered before apheresis but have distinct effects on dendritic cell (DC) differentiation. We previously demonstrated that the combination of GM+G-CSF results in fewer plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) when used to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells for autologous transplantation. To test the hypothesis that the content of pDCs in an allograft can be modulated with the cytokines used for mobilization, we randomized the human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling donors of 50 patients with hematological malignancies to a mobilization regimen of either GM+G-CSF (n = 25) or G-CSF alone (n = 25). Primary and secondary endpoints included the cellular constituents of the mobilized grafts, the kinetics of posttransplantation immune reconstitution, and clinical outcomes of the transplantation recipients. Grafts from donors receiving GM+G-CSF contained equivalent numbers of CD34(+) cells with fewer pDCs and T cells, with a higher fraction of Th1-polarized donor T cells than G-CSF mobilized grafts. Immune recovery was enhanced among recipients of GM+G-CSF. Survival was not significantly different between transplantation recipients in the two arms. The use of GM+G-CSF modulates immune function and recovery after allogeneic transplantation and should be explored in larger studies powered to evaluate clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Many components of oncologic treatment increase serum sIL-2Rα level, which may falsely suggest a relapse. We tried to establish whether granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and central vein catheter (CVC)-related sepsis increase serum sIL-2Rα level to values on relapse of childhood soft tissue sarcomas (STS) and how to distinguish real relapse from a "false" one. Serum sIL-2Rα, B2-M, LDH, CRP and ESR levels and rates of markers' elevated values were determined prospectively in 18 STS children: pre-treatmently (ST1), in complete remission (CR; ST2), in CR during G-CSF therapy (ST3), in CR during CVC-related sepsis (ST4), on relapse (ST5) and after treatment (ST6) and once in 50 healthy pediatric controls. It appeared that pre-treatment serum sIL-2Rα, LDH, CRP and ESR but not B2-M declined significantly with remission (ST2) achievement. At ST5 sIL-2Rα, B2-M, LDH and CRP increased from ST2 to ST1 values. SIL-2Rα levels at ST3 and ST4 rose significantly in all patients from ST2 to ST1 and ST5 values. At ST3 also serum LDH and B2-M increased to values at ST1 and ST5 and exceeded significantly those at ST2 and ST4. At ST4 CRP but not B2-M and LDH, rose significantly in most patients to values at ST1 and ST5. Thus, serum sIL-2Rα monitoring in pediatric STS reflects well response to chemotherapy unless samples are collected during G-CSF therapy or CVC-related sepsis. Determination of serum B2-M, LDH and CRP together with sIL-2Rα may help to distinguish between "real" relapse and "false" sIL-2Rα increase due to G-CSF administration or CVC-related sepsis.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells can be mobilized out of the bone marrow into the blood for the reconstitution of hematopoiesis following high-dose therapy. Methods to improve mobilization efficiency and yields are rapidly emerging. Traditional methods include chemotherapy with or without myeloid growth factors. Plerixafor, a novel agent that disrupts the CXCR4-CXCL12 bond, the primary hematopoietic stem cell anchor in the bone marrow, has recently been US FDA-approved for mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Plerixafor and myeloid growth factors as single agents appear safe to use in family or volunteer hematopoietic stem cells donors. Plerixafor mobilizes leukemic stem cells and is not approved for use in patients with acute leukemia. Patients failing to mobilize adequate hematopoietic stem cells with myeloid growth factors can often be successfully mobilized with chemotherapy plus myeloid growth factors or with plerixafor and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a promising stroke drug candidate. The present phase IIa study assessed safety and tolerability over a broad dose range of G-CSF doses in acute ischemic stroke patients and explored outcome data. METHODS Four intravenous dose regimens (total cumulative doses of 30-180 μg/kg over the course of 3 days) of G-CSF were tested in 44 patients in a national, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled dose escalation study (NCT00132470; www.clinicaltrial.gov). Main inclusion criteria were a 12-hour time window after stroke onset, infarct localization to the middle cerebral artery territory, a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale range of 4 to 22, and presence of diffusion-weighted imaging/perfusion-weighted imaging mismatch. RESULTS Concerning the primary safety end points, we observed no increase of thromboembolic events in the active treatment groups, and no increase in related serious adverse events. G-CSF led to expected increases in neutrophils and monocytes that resolved rapidly after end of treatment. We observed a clinically insignificant drug-related decrease of platelets. As expected from the low number of patients, we did not observe significant differences in clinical outcome in treatment vs. placebo. In exploratory analyses, we observed an interesting dose-dependent beneficial effect of treatment in patients with DWI lesions > 14-17 cm³. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that G-CSF was well-tolerated even at high dosages in patients with acute ischemic stroke, and that a substantial increase in leukocytes appears not problematic in stroke patients. In addition, exploratory analyses suggest treatment effects in patients with larger baseline diffusion-weighted imaging lesions. The obtained data provide the basis for a second trial aimed to demonstrate safety and efficacy of G-CSF on clinical end points.

Abstract
G-CSF and GM-CSF both hasten myeloid engraftment post-MA-alloSCT; however, GM-CSF is earlier acting and less expensive. The objective was to evaluate efficacy/safety of sequential administration of GM-CSF followed by G-CSF in children post-MA-alloSCT. From January 2001 to June 2005, 31 children received 32 MA-alloSCT: mean age 6.65 yr; MRD BM or PBSC vs. related or unrelated UCB 11:21; malignant vs. non-malignant disorders 22:10. GM-CSF (250 microg/m(2) IV QD) began on day of stem cell infusion. GM-CSF was switched to G-CSF (10 microg/kg IV QD) when WBC >or= 300/mm(3) x 2 days. G-CSF continued until ANC >or= 2500/mm(3) x 2 days, then tapered to maintain ANC >or= 1000/mm(3). Median time to myeloid engraftment (ANC >or= 500/mm(3) x 3 days) was 17 days [13 days vs. 24 days, MRD BM/PBSC vs. UCB (p < 0.0001)], occurring at a median time of two days after switch to G-CSF. Clinically relevant adverse events were bone pain (n = 8) and large pleural effusion (n = 1). It was estimated that sequential GM-CSF/G-CSF was cost-effective compared with G-CSF alone [cost-savings of $1311/patient ($41,952/study), 2007 Red Book Average Wholesale Price]. In summary, it was demonstrated that sequential administration of GM-CSF/G-CSF post-MA-alloSCT was safe, cost-effective and resulted in prompt myeloid engraftment.

Abstract
In order to increase the CD34+ cell yield in children undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation, the optimum time of apheresis after G-CSF administration has still to be found. We prospectively studied the mobilization of CD34+ cells and white blood cells in the peripheral blood (PB) of 20 pediatric patients before leukapheresis. The monitoring schedule covered 12 h, with blood samples taken before and at 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 h after G-CSF administration when 10 CD34+ cells/mul were reached. CD34+ cells were measured by flow cytometric analysis both in the single- and dual-platform setting. Two different patterns of mobilization (POM) emerged: 12 patients showed an increase in CD34+ cells in PB during the first 4 h after G-CSF (POM I), while eight patients had an initial decrease of CD34+ cells. However, all patients together showed a significant increase of CD34+ cells about 10 h after G-CSF administration. Further studies with more patients, using an enhanced monitoring schedule will be required to refine the results.

Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed the results of transplanting peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) allografts from HLA-matched sibling donors mobilized using various hematopoietic cytokines. Patients had received allografts mobilized with Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (G, N = 65) alone, G plus Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (G/GM, N = 70), or GM-CSF alone at 10 or 15 microg/kg/day (GM, N = 10 at 10 microg/kg/day and 21 at 15 microg/kg/day). The CD34+ and CD3+ cell content of grafts were significantly lower following GM alone compared to G alone (P < 0.001 and 0.04, respectively). Nonhematopoietic toxicity observed in donors precluded dose escalation of GM-CSF beyond 10 microg/kg/day. Hematopoietic recovery was similar among all three groups. Grades II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was observed in only 13% of patients in the GM alone group compared to 49 and 69% in the G alone or G/GM groups, respectively (P < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, receipt of PBPC mobilized with GM alone was associated with a lower risk of grades II-IV acute GVHD (hazard ratio 0.21; 95% CI 0.073, 0.58) compared to G alone or G/GM. There were no differences in relapse risk or overall survival among the groups. Donor PBPC grafts mobilized with GM-CSF alone result in prompt hematopoietic engraftment despite lower CD34+ cell doses and may reduce the risk of grades II-IV acute GVHD following HLA-matched PBPC transplantation.

Abstract
Since their discovery just under a century ago, growth factors (GFs) have been used almost ubiquitously in haematology. Many haematological cancers are associated with bone marrow failure, either as a direct consequence of the disease or its treatment. Colony stimulating factors (CSFs) have been used to address the problems associated with the resulting cytopenias, however, concerns about the potential leukaemogenic effects of some of these CSFs led to a degree of initial hesitancy in usage, particularly in the management of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). This has now been largely overcome. Other limitations have included cost and side effect profiles (the latter particularly with the multilineage factors). There has been wide variation locally, nationally and internationally in the usage of GFs. The American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) attempted to rationalise the usage of GFs by producing a consensus document enumerating the evidence-based indications for use of GFs. There is little information on cost effectiveness, this remains an important issue for the future. Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has revolutionised the management of many malignant conditions and has contributed to the increased use of growth factors. Many other indications are emerging for GFs used singly or in combination. Current clinical applications of GFs include: i) amelioration of cytopenias following chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, ii) chemotherapy dose maintenance and escalation, iii) chemosensitisation and modification of disease states, iv) optimisation of methods for mobilisation of progenitor stem cells, v) immunotherapy, and vi) as therapeutic targets for treatment of haematolgical malignancies.

Abstract
The use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized peripheral blood as a source of stem cells has resulted in a high incidence of severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), which compromises the outcome of clinical allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We have studied the effect of G-CSF on both immune complex and fibrotic cGVHD directed to major (DBA/2 --> B6D2F1) or minor (B10.D2 --> BALB/c) histocompatibility antigens. In both models, donor pretreatment with G-CSF reduced cGVHD mortality in association with type 2 differentiation. However, after escalation of the donor T-cell dose, scleroderma occurred in 90% of the recipients of grafts from G-CSF-treated donors. In contrast, only 11% of the recipients of control grafts developed scleroderma, and the severity of hepatic cGVHD was also reduced. Mixing studies confirmed that in the presence of high donor T-cell doses, the severity of scleroderma was determined by the non-T-cell fraction of grafts from G-CSF-treated donors. These data confirm that the induction of cGVHD after donor treatment with G-CSF is dependent on the transfer of large numbers of donor T cells in conjunction with a putatively expanded myeloid lineage, providing a further rationale for the limitation of cell dose in allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Moderate intensification of conventional multicycle chemotherapy has recently been shown to improve treatment results in malignant lymphomas and might prove to be beneficial also in other malignancies. However, the feasibility of such regimens is mainly limited by their granulopoietic toxicity. To identify and quantify the basic cell kinetic mechanisms of damage and stimulation caused by cytotoxic drugs and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), respectively, we developed a mathematical model of human granulopoiesis that allows simulation of leukocyte concentration profiles under 10 different multicycle polychemotherapy regimens with varying drug composition, dosage, and scheduling, including rhG-CSF assistance. Clinical data on leukocyte profiles were obtained from large numbers of patients treated within several multicenter trials. Simulation studies show that the leukocyte profiles of all regimens can be appropriately fitted using one single set of assumptions and parameters for the cell kinetic effects of cytotoxic drugs and rhG-CSF. Furthermore, the model can be used to explain the interindividual heterogeneity of hematotoxicity by a differential chemosensitivity, which might be useful in drug scheduling for specific risk groups. It is demonstrated that the model can be used to design and to select new drug schedules for subsequent clinical trial testing.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) represents an early-appearing and highly reliable intracellular myeloid lineage marker molecule. MPO protein can be detected in a subset of human hematopoietic bone marrow progenitor cells and in granulomonopoietic (GM) cells. However, other myeloid-related cell types such as epidermal Langerhans-type dendritic cells (LC) lack MPO. Therefore, human myeloid progenitors might be subdivided based on MPO protein expression into functional subsets. Here we identified two consecutive myelopoietic cell stages, i.e., early myeloid progenitors that lack MPO, as well as their immediate MPO+ progeny. MPO- myeloid progenitors possess previously described granulomonocyte (GM) progenitor-associated cell-surface characteristics (CD34+CD45RA+CD13+lin-). They are specifically recruited and can be expanded in cultures of CD34+ cord blood cells in response to early-acting hematopoietic cytokines. Furthermore, cell fractions enriched in MPO- myeloid progenitors efficiently developed along Langerhans-type dendritic cell (LC) and granulomonocytic (GM) lineages, whereas progeny enriched in MPO+ cells showed diminished LC potential. In line with this, peripheral blood progenitors, known to possess LC differentiation potential, lacked MPO expression. We conclude that differential expression of MPO therefore further characterizes cells with myeloid or LC potential.

Abstract
It is important to optimize methods to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells into peripheral blood (PB) for successful allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. Our primary intent was to investigate the role of GM-CSF for mobilization in normal healthy donors and to compare its efficacy in mobilizing stem cells alone, in concurrent combination and in sequential combination with G-CSF in this study. We analyzed the results of the PBSC harvest through large volume leukapheresis from 48 normal healthy donors mobilized by three different regimens including GM-CSF. Donors were assigned sequentially to one of the following regimens for mobilization: GM-CSF 10 microg/kg/day alone (group 1, n = 9); concurrent combination (group 2, n = 20) of G-CSF 5 microg/kg/day and GM-CSF 5 microg/kg/day; sequential combination (group 3, n = 19) of GM-CSF alone 10 microg/kg/day for 3 days followed by G-CSF alone 10 microg/kg/day for 2-3 days. The harvested CD34(+) cell count (P < 0.05) was statistically higher in group 3 than in group 1 or 2. Pre-collection WBC count in donors (P < 0.05), harvested MNC (P < 0.05) and CD3(+) cell count (P < 0.05) of group 2 or 3 were significantly higher than those of group 1. Recipients who received stem cells mobilized with combination regimens showed an earlier recovery of WBC and platelets count than those with GM-CSF alone. The incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was not statistically different among three recipient groups. GM-CSF-based mobilization was well tolerated in normal healthy donors. The sequential combination regimen appears to be an excellent mobilization strategy and might be preferred as the optimal method in some clinical situations that need a higher number of stem cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to compare directly the frequency of circulating LTC-IC and E-LTC-IC mobilized in peripheral blood (PB) after chemotherapy supported by either G-CSF (PB-G) or GM-CSF (PB-GM) in comparison to steady-state bone marrow (BM) and PB (PB-ST) values in the same patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Long-term cultures (LTC) were performed from 20 patients with malignant lymphoma at saturating cell concentrations to assess bulk progenitor cell production and by limiting dilution assay (LDA) to measure both frequency of LTC-IC and their proliferative and differentiation capacities. RESULTS While CFC production in bulk LTC was higher at weeks 3-5 with PB-G than with PB-GM samples, week-5 LTC-IC and week-10 LTC-IC (E-LTC-IC) frequencies were not different using a LDA. However, the number of CFC derived from a single LTC-IC was higher in PB-G patients than in PB-GM patients (p = 0.01). Interestingly, the frequency of LTC-IC per 1 x 10(5) MNC in mobilized PB positively correlated with one-year marrow progenitor cell recovery, in contrast to the number of autografted CD34(+) cells and CFU-GM per kg. CONCLUSION Both G-CSF and GM-CSF resulted in similar increases in LTC-IC and E-LTC-IC in PB at comparable levels to those present in BM. However, the differentiation capacity of LTC-IC was higher after mobilization with G-CSF than with GM-CSF, suggesting qualitative differences in LTC-IC mobilized with these growth factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Progenipoietin-1 is an agonist of both the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and fetal liver tyrosine kinase-3 receptors capable of inducing the proliferation of multiple hematopoietic cell lineages. The potential of progenipoietin-1 to mobilize transplantable hematopoietic stem cells into the peripheral blood was evaluated. METHODS Cohorts of donor mice were treated with either progenipoietin-1, fetal liver tyrosine kinase-3 ligand, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, or a vehicle control. Hematopoietic progenitor/stem-cell activity in donor blood was assayed by radioprotection, multilineage reconstitution, secondary transplantation, and competitive repopulation. RESULTS Only 1 microL of peripheral blood from progenipoietin-1-treated donors was required to protect 80% of lethally irradiated mice, while in contrast 1 microL of peripheral blood from granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-treated donors failed to protect any recipients. The radioprotected recipients of progenipoietin-1-treated donor cells showed donor-derived (Ly5.2) multilineage hematopoietic reconstitution for up to 6 months. Serial transplantation studies using bone marrow from radioprotected, chimeric recipients demonstrated long-term donor-derived hematopoiesis, indicating the successful transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells. The engraftment potential of progenipoietin-1 donor-derived cells was directly compared with donors treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor or fetal liver tyrosine kinase-3 ligand alone or in combination. Both spleen colony-forming activity and competitive repopulating activity was highest in the blood from progenipoietin-1-treated donors. CONCLUSIONS These studies demonstrate that progenipoietin-1 is a potent mobilizer of transplantable hematopoietic stem cells and indicate that this dual-receptor agonist has greater biologic activity than its constituent molecules.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been extensively exploited as a therapeutic and research modality and has revolutionized current patient care. At present, more and more medical centers use peripheral blood progenitor cells for transplantation by mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow to peripheral blood because of potential advantages of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation over bone-marrow transplantation. Different effective mobilization regimens have been developed recently with chemotherapeutic agents, hematopoietic growth factors or their combination. This article reviews current developments related to hematopoietic stem cell mobilization including the biology of hematopoietic stem cells, strategies for mobilization, management for mobilization failure, mechanisms of mobilization, and side effects during mobilization. Finally, the Initiation-Amplification-Emigration-Adaptation Model is proposed to help aid understanding of the mechanisms of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and to stimulate development of novel and optimal mobilization strategies for patient care.

Abstract
The harvesting of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor stimulation instead of bone marrow in healthy donors has become increasingly popular. Donors, given the choice between bone marrow and PBPC donation, often prefer cytapheresis because of the easier access, no necessity for general anesthesia, and no multiple bone marrow punctures. In addition, accelerated engraftment and immunomodulation by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized PBPCs are advantageous for the recipient. However, because of donor inconvenience and poor mobilization, there is a need to develop improved procedures. Aspects such as durability of hematopoietic engraftment, characterization of the earliest stem cell, and composition of PBPCs are not yet well defined, and international donor registration and follow-up must be considered when evaluating long-term safety profiles in healthy donors. This review concentrates on the most significant developments on mobilization of PBPCs published during the past year.

Abstract
Three cases of typhlitis occurring during autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT) for metastatic breast cancer are described. Typhlitis is a rare complication of neutropenia and has uncommonly been reported in the autologous transplant setting. Although it has been most commonly described in children with leukemia, typhlitis has increasingly been reported in adult leukemias and in association with neutropenia secondary to chemotherapy for a number of solid tumors. Only five previous cases of typhlitis in the setting of ABSCT have been described. Whereas diarrhea and fever are common toxicities associated with high-dose chemotherapy, it is likely that many cases of typhlitis go unrecognized. Bone Marrow Transplantation (2000) 25, 321-326.
