Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Cardiac dysfunction is a serious adverse effect of cancer therapies that can interfere with quality of life and impact long-term survival in patients with cancer. Hematopoietic cell transplantation is a potentially curative therapy for many advanced hematologic malignancies and bone marrow failure syndromes, however is associated with several short- and long-term adverse effects, including importantly, cardiovascular toxicities. The goal of this review article is to describe the cardiovascular events that may develop before, during, and after hematopoietic cell transplantation, review risk factors for short- and long-term cardiovascular toxicities, discuss approaches to cardiovascular risk stratification and evaluation, and highlight the research gaps in the consideration of cardiovascular disease in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation. Further understanding of cardiovascular events and the factors associated with cardiovascular disease will hopefully lead to novel interventions in managing and mitigating the significant long-term burden of late cardiovascular effects in transplant survivors.

International recommendations for screening and preventative practices for long-term survivors of transplantation and cellular therapy: a 2023 update. Bone Marrow Transplant 2024; 59:717-741. [PMID: 38413823 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-02190-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
As hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy expand to new indications and international access improves, the volume of HCT performed annually continues to rise. Parallel improvements in HCT techniques and supportive care entails more patients surviving long-term, creating further emphasis on survivorship needs. Survivors are at risk for developing late complications secondary to pre-, peri- and post-transplant exposures and other underlying risk-factors. Guidelines for screening and preventive practices for HCT survivors were originally published in 2006 and updated in 2012. To review contemporary literature and update the recommendations while considering the changing practice of HCT and cellular therapy, an international group of experts was again convened. This review provides updated pediatric and adult survivorship guidelines for HCT and cellular therapy. The contributory role of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) to the development of late effects is discussed but cGVHD management is not covered in detail. These guidelines emphasize special needs of patients with distinct underlying HCT indications or comorbidities (e.g., hemoglobinopathies, older adults) but do not replace more detailed group, disease, or condition specific guidelines. Although these recommendations should be applicable to the vast majority of HCT recipients, resource constraints may limit their implementation in some settings.

Wei XC, Zhao MF, Xiao X. Supratherapeutic posaconazole concentrations associated with hyperlipidemia in a patient with HSCT. J Infect Chemother 2024; 30:255-257. [PMID: 37832823 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2023.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Posaconazole is a potent, extended-spectrum triazole antifungal used for the treatment and prophylaxis of serious fungal infections. Previous reports have demonstrated hyperlipidemia resulted in significant changes in posaconazole pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution in rats. However, the effect of hyperlipidemia on the pharmacokinetics of posaconazole in patients has not yet been reported. We report a case of a 34-year-old woman who experienced a supratherapeutic posaconazole trough concentration (PTC) associated with hyperlipidemia after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The patient was admitted 13 months after HSCT for recurrent cough and sputum. She was treated with caspofungin due to developing invasive fungal infection of Candida tropicalis. After 10 days, caspofungin was discontinued due to the poor therapeutic efficacy and replaced with amphotericin B. Afterwards, the condition of the patient improved significantly and she was switched to daily oral posaconazole tablet. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of posaconazole showed a PTC was 3.2 mg/L. After discharge, she continued to receive posaconazole tablet as antifungal treatment. Two months later, laboratory tests at outpatient showed her blood lipid levels were significantly elevated and PTC was increased to 9.38 mg/L. Therefore, the posaconazole tablet was discontinued and she received lipid-lowering therapy. A few days later, the PTC was down to 5.22 mg/L. No medication errors and significant drug interactions were found. Hence, supratherapeutic PTC for this patient may be caused by hyperlipidemia which altered pharmacokinetics of posaconazole. Our findings highlight the need for close TDM in order to avoid supratherapeutic PTC if hyperlipidimia occurs during posaconazole use.

Altered lipid metabolism in patients with acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Leuk Res 2024; 137:107435. [PMID: 38241896 DOI: 10.1016/j.leukres.2024.107435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the sole curative option for many hematological malignancies and other diseases. Nevertheless, its application is limited due to the risk of life-threatening complications, mainly graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Currently, in clinical practice, the risk of developing GVHD is estimated for every patient based on factors related to the donor and the host. In our prospective, observational study, we analyzed serum from 38 patients undergoing allo-HCT at our institution. We compared the metabolic profiles of patients who developed acute GVHD (aGVHD) with those without such complication by identification and comparison of metabolites masses on the XCMS platform. We observed that patients diagnosed with aGVHD had different metabolic profiles compared to the remaining patients and this alteration was noticeable already 7 days before the procedure. We identified dysregulated metabolites involved in bile acid transformation and cholesterol synthesis. Our study of the untargeted metabolome in allo-HCT recipients has revealed a potential link between lipid metabolism, specifically involving bile acid transformation and cholesterol synthesis, and the development of aGVHD. This finding might be an important indication for future research focused on understanding GVHD development, discovering prediction models, and investigating possible prophylactic interventions.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The interaction between post-transplant hyperlipidemia and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is uncertain. In this study, we performed a retrospective study to explore the relationship between dyslipidemia and aGVHD and the potential mechanism of aGVHD on dyslipidemia in 147 recipients who underwent allo-HSCT. The lipid profiles, transplantation details, and other laboratory data of the subjects were collected in the first 100 days post-transplantation. Our results indicated 63 patients with new-onset hypertriglyceridemia and 39 patients with new-onset hypercholesterolemia. A total of 57 (38.8%) patients developed aGVHD after transplantation. In a multifactorial analysis, aGVHD was an independent factor in the development of dyslipidemia in recipients (P < 0.05). After transplantation, the median LDL-C level of patients with aGVHD was 3.04 mmol/L (standard deviation value (SD): 1.36 mmol/L, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.62, 3.45 mmol/L), and the LDL-C level in patients without aGVHD was 2.51 mmol/L (SD: 1.38 mmol/L, CI: 2.67, 3.40 mmol/L) (P < 0.05). Female recipients had higher lipid levels than males (P < 0.05). LDL levels (≥ 3.4 mmol/L) post-transplant were an independent risk factor for the development of aGVHD (OR = 0.311, P < 0.05). In conclusion, larger sample studies are anticipated to confirm our preliminary result, and an accurate mechanism between lipid metabolism and aGVHD needs to be determined in the future.

Abstract
Background Fifty years of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has ushered in an exciting era of cellular therapy and has led to enormous progress in improving the outcomes of patients with both malignant and non-malignant hematologic disease. As the survival of transplanted patients has increased, so has the recognition of long-term complications related to this therapy. Purpose The goal of this review is to highlight some of the most common long-term complications of HCT. Data sources To this end, we have conducted a review of the published literature on the long-term complications of HCT encompassing the past 50 years. Study selection We have endeavored to include long-term complications reported in research articles, case series and case reports, reviews, and abstracts. We have focused primarily on adult allogeneic HCT, but have included some data from studies of pediatric allogeneic HCT as well. We have also prioritized the literature published in the last 15 years. Data extraction Key data supporting the onset and prevalence of the most common long-term complications was extracted. Limitations While the list of long-term complications extracted and reported was comprehensive, it was not exhaustive. Conclusions We have endeavored to highlight some of the most common long-term complications of HCT, the recognition and management of which constitutes an important part of HCT survivorship care.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a growing threat among cancer patients. Not surprisingly, cancer-targeting therapies have been linked to metabolic dysregulation including changes in local and systemic lipid metabolism. Thus, tumor development and cancer therapeutics are intimately linked to cholesterol metabolism and may be a driver of increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population. Chemotherapeutic agents affect lipid metabolism through diverse mechanisms. In this review, we highlight the mechanistic and clinical evidence linking commonly used cytotoxic therapies with cholesterol metabolism and potential opportunities to limit atherosclerotic risk in this patient population. Better understanding of the link between atherosclerosis, cancer therapy, and cholesterol metabolism may inform optimal lipid therapy for cancer patients and mitigate cardiovascular disease burden.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the current landscape of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, focusing on dyslipidemia, which contribute to atherosclerosis in three unique populations: youth less than 18 years-of-age with a history of Kawasaki disease, and those who have undergone orthotopic heart and bone marrow transplants. RECENT FINDINGS Atherosclerosis, the major cause of CVD, begins in childhood. Acquired and genetic disorders of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, present at an early age, are major contributors to early precursors of atherosclerosis, which accelerate after age 20. Treatment of the underlying medical condition and optimum management of all risk factors is critical in improving outcomes. Nonetheless, limited data is available to assist clinical decision-making, with the aim of improving outcomes. Atherosclerosis, beginning in childhood, is multifactorial in origin with complex interplay of inflammation, infection, endothelial dysfunction, and dyslipidemia. Future studies are needed to help elucidate the specific roles of disease mechanisms, with an emphasis on early intervention and prediction of subclinical disease. In addition to a heart healthy lifestyle, there may be a role for use of lipid-lowering medications beginning at an early age.

Although outcome has improved considerably since the pioneering Seattle achievements more than 5 decades ago, non-relapse mortality (NRM) remains a major burden of alloSCT. There is increasing evidence that endothelial dysfunction is involved in many of the life-threatening complications of alloSCT, such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/venoocclusive disease, transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy, and refractory acute graft-versus host disease. This review delineates the role of the endothelium in severe complications after alloSCT and describes the current status of search for biomarkers predicting endothelial complications, including markers of endothelial vulnerability and markers of endothelial injury. Finally, implications of our current understanding of transplant-associated endothelial pathology for prevention and management of complications after alloSCT are discussed.

The Expression of Genes Related to Lipid Metabolism and Metabolic Disorders in Children before and after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation-A Prospective Observational Study. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:3614.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders in children after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are poorly characterized. However, it is known that dyslipidemia and insulin resistance are particularly common in these patients. We conducted a prospective study of 27 patients treated with HSCT to assess the possibility of predicting these abnormalities. We measured gene expressions using a microarray technique to identify differences in expression of genes associated with lipid metabolism before and after HSCT. In patients treated with HSCT, total cholesterol levels were significantly higher after the procedure compared with the values before HSCT. Microarray analysis revealed statistically significant differences in expressions of three genes, DPP4, PLAG1, and SCD, after applying the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure (pBH < 0.05). In multiple logistic regression, the increase of DPP4 gene expression before HCST (as well as its change between pre- and post-HSCT status) was associated with dyslipidemia. In children treated with HSCT, the burden of lipid disorders in short-term follow-up seems to be lower than before the procedure. The expression pattern of DPP4 is linked with dyslipidemia after the transplantation.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is considered, since 1957, a potentially curative therapeutic option for many hemopathies. Although it is an aggressive procedure, improvements in transplantation techniques and supportive strategies have markedly decreased treatment-related mortality, and the prevalence of HSCT survivors is expected to exceed half a million by 2030. At the same time, there is a growing awareness of the potentially negative effects of HSCT-related therapies on the cardiovascular (CV) system, and HSCT survivors constitute a population at high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Cardio-oncology has been proposed as a new approach to prevent cardiovascular toxicity during and after HSCT. The present article attempts to provide a multidisciplinary and practical approach to the prevention, monitoring, and management of the most common cardiovascular complications in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to provide a framework for the cardiovascular evaluation and management of patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). To accomplish this, we have performed an extensive literature review, critically analyzed the available evidence, and developed a set of recommendations to guide best practice. Herein, we discuss the cardiovascular risk profile of patients undergoing HCT along with putative mechanisms of HCT-induced cardiovascular injury. We then present an algorithm for cardiovascular testing and risk mitigation of potential recipients. Last, we address the management of the most prevalent cardiovascular conditions associated with HCT recipients.

Abstract
The increasing indications for allogeneic stem-cell transplant in patients with hematologic malignancies and non-malignant diseases combined with improved clinical outcomes have contributed to increase the number of long-term survivors. However, survivors are at increased risk of developing a unique set of complications and late effects, besides graft-versus-host disease and disease relapse. In this setting, the management capacity of a single health-care provider can easily be overwhelmed. Thus, to provide appropriate survivorship care, a multidisciplinary approach for the long-term follow-up is essential. This review aims at summarizing the most relevant information that a health-care provider should know to establish a follow-up care plan, in the light of individual exposures and risk factors, that includes all organ systems and considers the psychological burden of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term survival for children diagnosed with cancer exceeds 80%. Notably, premature cardiovascular disease has become the leading non-cancer cause of late mortality among these survivors. METHODS/DESIGN This randomized controlled trial (RCT; NCT03104543) focuses on adult participants in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study identified as high risk for ischemic heart disease or heart failure due to their cancer treatment. Participants undergo a home-based evaluation of blood pressure and laboratory tests to determine the prevalence of undiagnosed and/or undertreated hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Those with abnormal values are then enrolled in an RCT to test the efficacy of a 12-month personalized, remotely delivered survivorship care plan (SCP) intervention designed to reduce undertreatment of these three target conditions. The intervention approximates a clinical encounter and is based on chronic disease self-management strategies. RESULTS With a goal of 750, currently 342 out of 742 eligible participants approached have enrolled (46.1%). Initially, we randomized participants to different recruitment strategies, including shorter approach packets and a tiered consent, but did not find significant differences in participation rates (40.7% to 42.9%; p = .95). Subsequently, slightly greater participation was seen with larger upfront unconditional incentive checks ($50 vs. $25: 50.7% vs. 44.1%; p = .10). Overall, the financial impact of the $50 upfront incentive was cost neutral, and possibly cost-saving, vs. a $25 upfront incentive. CONCLUSION The overall study will determine if a National Academy of Medicine-recommended SCP intervention can improve cardiovascular outcomes among long-term survivors of childhood cancer. Modifications to the recruitment strategy may improve participation rates over time.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used in children to treat a variety of malignant and nonmalignant hematologic conditions and certain inborn errors of metabolism. Survivors of HSCT are markedly affected by disease and treatment toxicity. Endocrine complications are among the most commonly reported chronic health conditions in this population. In this review, we summarize the most common endocrine late effects after pediatric HSCT. We also highlight the importance of systematic and longitudinal evaluations to achieve early diagnoses and treatment for these conditions and improve the long-term health outcomes for patients who received HSCT as children.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become a potentially curative therapy for an increasing number of malignant and non-malignant conditions. As survival rates continue to improve, the focus of patient care has shifted from managing not only immediate but also long-term complications. Endocrine disorders are among the most prevalent late effects following HSCT. Detecting and treating such conditions offer new challenges, as well as opportunities to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality associated with HSCT. Our objective is to summarize recent literature and describe practical approaches to screening for and managing endocrine-related late effects. We focus on dyslipidemia, diabetes, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and hypogonadism. Mechanisms, monitoring, and management recommendations for each disorder are outlined. Growing data on these disorders in the post-transplant setting highlight the need for future study and evidence-based guidelines.

Abstract
In the last decades the survival rate of patients diagnosed with cancer - both in childhood and adulthood - significantly improved, leading to a growing number of cancer survivors (CS) within general population. Despite the better survival rate related to the cancer diagnosis, CS show increased mortality and morbidity if compared to non-cancer population, due to the occurrence of health conditions categorized as late effects of previous anticancer treatments. Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are one of the main responsible for this increased morbidity of CS. Besides the direct injury that both chemotherapy and radiotherapy can produce to CV system, in recent years the role of metabolic syndrome in the pathogenesis of CV diseases in CS is emerging. The relationship between anticancer treatments and the development of metabolic alterations is crucial to understand and manage the cardiometabolic risk in CS. The aim of this manuscript is to review the pathophysiological and clinical features of CV risk factors in CS, exploring in more detail certain subgroups of CS (breast cancer, transplanted patients as well as lymphoma survivors) that show peculiar clinical aspects and are burdened by a greater CV risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia is common after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Few data regarding the time course of lipid profiles after HSCT, the effect of multiple transplantations, and efficacy and safety of lipid-lowering treatments are available. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and treatment of dyslipidemia over a 25-year period in a large, single-center cohort. METHODS One thousand one hundred ninety-six adult patients (≥16 years) who underwent HSCT during 1973 to 2013 and who survived ≥100 days were studied retrospectively. RESULTS The prevalence of dyslipidemia before transplantation was 36% and 28% in the autologous and allogeneic groups, respectively (P < .001). Three months after HSCT, the prevalence rose to 62% and 74% (P < .001), and at 25 years, it was 67% and 89%. Lipid profiles were similar after first and subsequent transplants. Baseline dyslipidemia (odds ratio [OR] = 2.72), allogeneic transplant (OR = 2.44), and age ≥ 35 years (OR = 2.33) were independent risk factors for dyslipidemia at 1 year. Lipid-lowering treatment was given to 223 (19%) patients, primarily in the form of statins (86%) and was associated with a decrease in total cholesterol from 246 to 192 mg/dL (P < .01) and from 244 to 195 mg/dL (P < .001) in the autologous and allogeneic groups, respectively. There were 10 cases (4%) of muscle symptoms prompting cessation of lipid-lowering therapy, including 1 case of rhabdomyolysis. The OR for dyslipidemia among patients who suffered a cardiovascular event (conditional logistic regression) was 3.5 (95% confidence interval = 1.6-7.7, P = .002). CONCLUSION This study confirms that dyslipidemia is a common and long-lasting phenomenon among both allogeneic and autologous HSCT patients. Statins are effective, generally well-tolerated and should be highly recommended for the management of post-HSCT dyslipidemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hyperlipidemia is a comorbidity affecting a significant number of transplant patients despite treatment with cholesterol lowering drugs. Recently, it has been shown that hyperlipidemia can significantly alter T-cell responses to cardiac allografts in mice, and graft rejection is accelerated in dyslipidemic mice. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of hyperlipidemia in graft rejection. RECENT FINDINGS Hyperlipidemic mice have significant increases in serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines, and neutralization of interleukin 17 (IL-17) slows graft rejection, suggesting that IL-17 production by Th17 cells was necessary but not sufficient for rejection. Hyperlipidemia also causes an increase in alloreactive T-cell responses prior to antigen exposure. Analysis of peripheral tolerance mechanisms indicated that this was at least in part due to alterations in FoxP3 T cells that led to reduced Treg function and the expansion of FoxP3 CD4 T cells expressing low levels of CD25. Functionally, alterations in Treg function prevented the ability to induce operational tolerance to fully allogeneic heart transplants through costimulatory-molecule blockade, a strategy that requires Tregs. SUMMARY These findings highlight the importance of considering the contribution of inflammatory comorbidities to cardiac allograft rejection, and point to the potential importance of managing hyperlipidemia in the transplant population.

Abstract
Since its introduction more than 50 years ago, hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) has transformed from an inescapably fatal procedure to one where cure from malignant and other nonmalignant hematologic diseases is becoming increasingly common. Nevertheless, longevity is not entirely restored. New causes of mortality have emerged; of particular importance is that of increased cardiovascular disease (CVD), related to metabolic syndrome and its components. Controversy exists over whether the metabolic abnormalities induced are a direct effect of HSCT itself or a consequence of other therapies involved. Analysis of the mechanisms that promote the changes in metabolic components will give insight into future HSCT therapy as well as CVD pathogenesis and prevention.

Abstract
Objectives Co-administration of posaconazole (PSZ) and vincristine (VCR) in the treatment of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia increases the neurotoxicity of VCR. Our aim is to study the effect of increased lipoprotein levels on the pharmacokinetics of PSZ and VCR upon co-administration in rats. Methods Rats were assigned to three groups, normolipidemic (NL), intermediate hyperlipidemic (IHL), and extreme hyperlipidemic (HL) groups. All rats were administered PSZ orally followed by VCR intravenously 4 h later. For the pharmacokinetic study, serial plasma samples were collected over 96 h and for tissue distribution study; plasma, lung, and liver tissues were collected over 48 h post oral dosing. Results Posaconazole showed higher plasma concentrations than VCR at all time points. Co-administration of VCR with PSZ reduced PSZ weight normalized oral clearance, increased PSZ area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) from time zero to infinity, showed higher PSZ liver concentrations, and increased VCR volume of distribution of the central compartment. Upon increasing the lipoprotein levels, PSZ showed higher plasma availability and delayed tissue distribution, whereas VCR had shown a significant decrease in PSZ AUC0-24h, AUC0-tlast, and AUCo-inf (NL = IHL > HL) and a significant increase in the volume of distribution (NL = IHL < HL). Vincristine has shown higher tissue uptake and concentrations. Conclusion Monitoring cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is advisable to decrease VCR neurological side effect incidences and delay the activity of both PSZ and VCR.

Abstract
A number of studies have shown that autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) contribute to an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and worsening of cardiovascular risk factors that could contribute to further CVD over time. These observations, combined with a notable increase in the number of survivors after HCT in recent years, highlight the need for studies aimed at modifying risk or preventing these outcomes by changing specific approaches and/or post-HCT interventions. To address these issues, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and National Cancer Institute co-sponsored an international initiative on late effects after HCT. This report summarizes the major gaps in knowledge along with detailed recommendations regarding study priorities from the Cardiovascular Disease and Associated Risk Factors Committee, a multidisciplinary panel of international experts. The committee calls for specific studies aimed at understanding and preventing arterial disease and cardiac dysfunction (heart failure, valvular disease, and arrhythmias), as well as decreasing cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and sarcopenic obesity) after HCT.

Abstract
Background Vincristine (VCR), an antineoplastic agent, is a key component in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphomas, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and Wilms’ tumor diseases. Recently, high incidence of hyperlipidemia was reported to be associated with allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and VCR/L-asparaginase therapy. The aim of this study is to test the effects of incremental increase in lipoproteins levels on vincristine disposition in rat. Method To study VCR pharmacokinetics and protein binding, rats (n = 25) were assigned to three groups, normal lipidemic (NL), intermediate (IHL) and extreme hyperlipidemic (HL). Hyperlipidemia was induced by ip injection of (1 g/Kg) poloxamer 407 in rats. Serial blood samples were collected using the pre-inserted jugular vein cannula for 72 h post VCR (0.15 mg/Kg) i.v. dose. VCR unbound fractions in NL, IHL and HL plasma were determined using ultrafiltration kits. Results VCR demonstrated a rapid distribution phase (6–8 h) followed by a slower elimination phase with a mean elimination t½ of ~ 14 h. VCR exhibited moderate binding to plasma proteins ~ 83 %. It showed a relatively small Vc (~0.17 L/Kg) and a larger Vβ (1.53 L/Kg) indicating good tissue distribution. As the lipoproteins levels were increased, no significant changes were noted in VCR unbound fraction, plasma concentration, or volume of distribution indicating low affinity to lipoprotein binding. Induced HL also did not affect VCR elimination where similar VCR AUC0-∞, Cl and elimination phase t½ were reported along the different lipemic groups. Conclusion Incremental increase in lipoprotein levels resulted in no significant effect on VCR disposition as such ALL malignant lymphoma and allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients need not to worry about HL-VCR interaction. Whether, HL can potentiate another drug-drug or drug-disease interaction involving VCR warrants further studying and monitoring to ensure therapeutic safety and efficiency.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a constellation of cardiovascular risk factors that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and all cause mortality. Long-term survivors of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have a substantial risk of developing MetS and cardiovascular disease, with the estimated prevalence of MetS being 31-49% among HCT recipients. Although MetS has not yet been proven to impact cardiovascular risk after HCT, an understanding of the incidence and risk factors for MetS in HCT recipients can provide the foundation to evaluate screening guidelines and develop interventions that may mitigate cardiovascular-related mortality. A working group was established through the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation with the goal of reviewing literature and recommend practices appropriate to HCT recipients. Here we deliver consensus recommendations to help clinicians provide screening and preventive care for MetS and cardiovascular disease among HCT recipients. All HCT survivors should be advised of the risks of MetS and encouraged to undergo recommended screening based on their predisposition and ongoing risk factors.

What do we need to know about allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors? Bone Marrow Transplant 2016; 51:1025-31.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for over 70 benign and malignant hematologic and immunological processes. Over the past several decades, significant technological and post-transplant supportive advances have been made, resulting in a decrease in early transplant mortality and continued growth in the population of allo-HSCT survivors. With the expansion in the number of long-term survivors, as well as of those considering a transplant, the focus of transplant medicine has been shifted significantly to include a more prominent role for the care of the 'long-term' survivor. These patients have survived the acute critical phase of transplantation and have potentially achieved remission from their primary disease, yet allo-HSCT patients do not return to pre-transplant health status. For survivors >2 years removed, the time of transplant all-cause mortality is four- to nine-fold higher than age-matched peers within the general population. These patients represent a distinct, high-risk population that must be monitored for long-term transplant complications, including chronic GvHD (cGvHD), multi-organ dysfunctions and secondary malignancies. This article will review in a non-exhaustive manner, the approach to long-term care of an allo-HSCT recipient.

Clinical and Genetic Determinants of Cardiomyopathy Risk among Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Survivors. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2016; 22:1094-1101.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathy has been recognized as a complication after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Using a nested case-cohort design, we examined the relationships between demographic, therapeutic, and selected cardiovascular disease risk factors among ≥1-year HCT survivors who developed cardiomyopathy before (n = 43) or after (n = 89) 1 year from HCT as compared to a randomly selected subcohort of survivors without cardiomyopathy (n = 444). Genomic data were available for 79 cases and 267 noncases. Clinical and genetic covariates were examined for association with the risk of early or late cardiomyopathy. Clinical risk factors associated with both early- and late-onset cardiomyopathy included anthracycline exposure ≥250 mg/m(2) and pre-existing hypertension. Among late-onset cardiomyopathy cases, the development of diabetes and ischemic heart disease further increased risk. We replicated several previously reported genetic associations among early-onset cardiomyopathy cases, including rs1786814 in CELF4, rs2232228 in HAS3, and rs17863783 in UGT1A6. None of these markers were associated with risk of late-onset cardiomyopathy. A combination of demographic, treatment, and clinical covariates predicted early-onset cardiomyopathy with reasonable accuracy (area under the curve [AUC], .76; 95% confidence interval [CI], .68 to .83), but prediction of late cardiomyopathy was poor (AUC, .59; 95% CI .53 to .67). The addition of genetic polymorphisms with marginal associations (odds ratios ≥1.3) did not enhance prediction for either early- or late-onset cardiomyopathy. Conventional cardiovascular risk factors influence the risk of both early- and late-onset cardiomyopathy in HCT survivors. Although certain genetic markers may influence the risk of early-onset disease, further work is required to validate previously reported findings and to determine how genetic information should be incorporated into clinically useful risk prediction models.

Abstract
Advances in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) techniques and supportive care strategies have led to dramatic improvements in relapse mortality in patients with high-risk hematological malignancies. These improvements, however, conversely increase the risk of late-occurring non-cancer competing causes, mostly cardiovascular disease (CVD). HCT recipients have a significantly increased risk of CVD-specific mortality, including elevated incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and heart failure (HF) compared to age-matched counterparts. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to identify techniques for the detection of early CVD in HCT patients to inform early prevention strategies. Aerobic training (AT) is established as the cornerstone of primary and secondary disease prevention in multiple clinical settings, and may confer similar benefits in HCT patients at high-risk of CVD. The potential benefits of AT either before, immediately after, or in the months/years following HCT have received limited attention. Here, we discuss the risk and extent of CVD in adult HCT patients, highlight novel tools for early detection of CVD, and review existing evidence in oncology and non-oncology populations supporting the efficacy of AT to attenuate HCT-induced CVD. This knowledge can be utilized to optimize treatment, while minimizing CVD risk in individuals with hematological malignancies undergoing HCT.

Abstract
Hydroxymethylglutaryl Co-enzyme A reductase inhibitors, also known as statins, are a class of anti-hyperlipidemic agents. These drugs have been employed vastly to reduce the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disorders. Soon after their introduction, benefits other than their primary actions were discovered. Along with these pleiotropic properties, a series of mainly favorable effects has been proposed in patients intended to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These actions address some complications encountered by this special population such as graft-versus-host disease, efficacy of chemotherapy, infections, etc. This review presents the current evidence surrounding these issues.

Abstract
As survival rates in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) continue to improve, attention to long-term complications, including cardiovascular disease, becomes a major concern. Cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia are a common, yet often overlooked occurrence post-HSCT that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Also, increasing evidence shows that several anti-hyperlipidemia medications, the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors in particular, may have a role in modulating graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, factors such as drug-drug interactions, adverse effect profiles, and the relative efficacy in lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels must be taken into account when choosing safe and effective lipid-lowering therapy in this setting. This review seeks to provide guidance to the clinician in the management of dyslipidemia in the allogeneic HSCT population, taking into account the recently published American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines on hyperlipidemia management, special considerations in this challenging population, and the evidence for each agent's potential role in modulating GVHD.

Abstract
Ab-independent effector functions of B cells, such as Ag presentation and cytokine production, have been shown to play an important role in a variety of immune-mediated conditions such as autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection, and graft-versus-host disease. Most current immunosuppressive treatments target T cells, are relatively unspecific, and result in profound immunosuppression that places patients at an increased risk of developing severe infections and cancer. Therapeutic strategies, which interfere with B cell activation, could therefore be a useful addition to the current immunosuppressive armamentarium. Using a transcriptomic approach, we identified upregulation of genes that belong to the mevalonate pathway as a key molecular event following CD40-mediated activation of B cells. Inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the mevalonate pathway, by lipophilic statins such as simvastatin and atorvastatin resulted in a specific inhibition of B cell activation via CD40 and impaired their ability to act as stimulatory APCs for allospecific T cells. Mechanistically, the inhibitory effect resulted from the inhibition of protein geranylgeranylation subsequent to the depletion of mevalonate, the metabolic precursor for geranylgeranyl. Thus, inhibition of geranylgeranylation either directly through geranylgeranyl transferase inhibitors or indirectly through statins represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of diseases in which Ag presentation by B cells plays a role.

Abstract
The authors sought to better understand the combined effects of pretransplant, transplant, and post-transplant factors in determining risks of serious cardiovascular disease after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Hospitalizations and deaths associated with serious cardiovascular outcomes were identified among 1379 Washington State residents who received HCT (57% allogeneic and 43% autologous) at a single center from 1985 to 2005, survived ≥ 2 years, and followed through 2008. Using a nested case-cohort design, relationships (hazard ratios [HRs]) between potential risk factors and outcomes were examined among affected survivors and a randomly selected subcohort (N = 509). After 7.0 years of median follow-up (range, 2.0 to 23.7), the 10-year cumulative incidence of ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, stroke, and all-cause cardiovascular death was 3.8%, 6.0%, 3.5%, and 3.7%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, increased pretransplant anthracycline was associated with cardiomyopathy. Active chronic graft-versus-host disease was associated with cardiovascular death (HR, 4.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 14.7); risk was otherwise similar between autologous versus allogeneic HCT recipients. Independent of therapeutic exposures, pretransplant smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and obesity conferred additional risk of all outcomes except stroke (HR ≥ 1.5 for each additional risk factor, P < .03). Hypertension and dyslipidemia at 1 year with persistence of these conditions 2 or more years after HCT also were associated with independent risks of multiple outcomes. HCT survivors with preexisting or newly developed and persistent cardiovascular risk factors remain at greater risk of subsequent serious cardiovascular disease compared with other survivors, independent of chemo- and radiotherapy exposures. These survivors should receive appropriate follow-up and be considered for primary intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the influence of modifiable lifestyle factors on the risk of cardiovascular disease after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS HCT survivors of ≥ 1 year treated from 1970 to 2010 (n = 3,833) were surveyed from 2010 to 2011 on current cardiovascular health and related lifestyle factors (smoking, diet, recreational physical activity). Responses (n = 2,362) were compared with those from a matched general population sample (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [NHANES]; n = 1,192). RESULTS Compared with NHANES participants, HCT survivors (median age, 55.9 years; median 10.8 years since HCT; 71.3% allogeneic) had higher rates of cardiomyopathy (4.0% v 2.6%), stroke (4.8% v 3.3%), dyslipidemia (33.9% v 22.3%), and diabetes (14.3% v 11.7%; P < .05 for all comparisons). Prevalence of hypertension was similar (27.9% v 30.0%), and survivors were less likely to have ischemic heart disease (6.1% v 8.9%; P < .01). Among HCT survivors, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes were independent risk factors for ischemic heart disease and cardiomyopathy, and smoking was associated with ischemic heart disease and diabetes (odds ratios [ORs], 1.8 to 2.1; P = .02). Obesity was a risk factor for post-transplantation hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes (ORs ≥ 2.0; P < .001). In contrast, lower fruit/vegetable intake was associated with greater risk of dyslipidemia and diabetes (ORs, 1.4 to 1.8; P ≤ .01), and lower physical activity level was associated with greater risk of hypertension and diabetes (ORs, 1.4 to 1.5; P < .05). Healthier lifestyle characteristics among HCT survivors attenuated risk of all cardiovascular conditions assessed. CONCLUSION Attention of clinicians to conventional cardiovascular risk factors and modifiable lifestyle characteristics offers hope of reducing serious cardiovascular morbidity after HCT.
