Autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation combined with high-dose chemotherapy for refractory neuroblastoma: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e28096. [PMID: 34889262 PMCID: PMC8663834 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000028096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is a common solid malignant tumor in children. Despite the development of new treatment options, the prognosis of high-risk neuroblastoma patients is still poor. High-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation might improve survival of patients with refractory neuroblastoma. In this study, we aimed to summarize the efficacy of autologous or allogeneic HSC transplantation combined with high-dose chemotherapy for patients with refractory neuroblastoma through the meta-analysis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Relevant clinical trials of autologous or allogeneic HSC transplantation for the treatment refractory neuroblastoma patients will be searched in Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Scientific Journal Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Wanfang Database from their inception to December 2020. Two researchers will perform data extraction and risk of bias assessment independently. The clinical outcomes including tumor response, overall survival, event-free survival (EFS), quality of life (QoL) and adverse events, were systematically evaluated by using Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 14.0 statistical software. RESULTS The results of this study will provide high-quality evidence for the effect of autologous or allogeneic HSC transplantation combined with high-dose chemotherapy on tumor response, survival, and QoL in patients with refractory neuroblastoma. CONCLUSIONS The conclusions of this meta-analysis will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, and provide more evidence-based guidance in clinical practice.

Functional capacity, lung function, and muscle strength in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A prospective cohort study. Hematol Oncol Stem Cell Ther 2020; 14:126-133. [PMID: 32997971 DOI: 10.1016/j.hemonc.2020.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2019] [Revised: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment for benign and malignant hematological diseases. These aggressive treatments cause reduced levels of physical activity, decreased lung function, and worse quality of life. Alterations in pulmonary function tests before HSCT are associated with the risk of respiratory failure and early mortality. The objective of this study was to evaluate functional capacity and lung function before and after HSCT and identify the predictors of mortality after 2 years. METHODS A prospective cohort study was carried out with individuals with oncohematological diseases. The evaluations were carried out in two moments during hospitalization and at hospital discharge. Follow-up was carried out after 48 months. Assessments were carried out on 34 adults, using spirometry, manovacuometry, 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Handgrip Strength Test, and 30-Second Chair Stand Test (30-s CST). RESULTS There was a statistically significant reduction for the variables in forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume predicted in the 1st second, Tiffeneau index, handgrip strength, and distance covered (% predicted) on the 6MWT (p < .05). There was a significant difference in the 30-s CST when individuals were compared according to the type of transplant. We found that a 10% reduction in the values of maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) can predict an increased risk for mortality. CONCLUSIONS Individuals undergoing HSCT have reduced functional capacity, lung function, and muscle strength during the hospitalization phase. Reduction in the values of MIP increases the risk of nonrelapse mortality.

Abstract
Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has proven to be a viable treatment option for a selected group of patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), including those with MPS types I, II, IVA, VI, and VII. Early diagnosis and timely referral to an expert in MPS are critical, followed by a complete examination and evaluation by a multidisciplinary team, including a transplantation physician. Treatment recommendations for MPS are based on multiple biological, sociological, and financial factors, including type of MPS, clinical severity, prognosis, present clinical signs and symptoms (disease stage), age at onset, rate of progression, family factors and expectations, financial burden, feasibility, availability, risks and benefits of available therapies such as HSCT, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), surgical interventions, and other supportive care. International collaboration and data review are critical to evaluating the therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of HSCT for MPS. Collaborative efforts to assess HSCT for MPS have been ongoing since the first attempt at HSCT in a patient with MPS reported in 1981. The accumulation of data since then has made it possible to identify early outcomes (ie, transplantation outcomes) and long-term disease-specific outcomes resulting from HSCT. The recent identification of predictive factors and the development of innovative regimens have significantly improved the outcomes of both engraftment failure and transplantation-related mortality. Assessment of long-term outcomes has considered a variety of factors, including type of MPS, type of graft, age at transplantation, and stage of disease progression, among others. Studies on long-term outcomes are considered a key factor in the use of HSCT in patients with MPS. These studies have shown the effects and limitations of HSCT on improving disease manifestations and quality of life. In this review, we summarize the efficacy, side effects, risks, and cost of HSCT for each type of MPS.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) produces -similar to the long-established graft-versus-leukemia effect- graft-versus-solid-tumor effects. Clinical trials reported response rates of up to 53%, occurring mostly but not invariably in association with full donor chimerism and/or graft-versus-host disease. Although donor-derived T cells are considered the principal effectors of anti-tumor immunity after alloHSCT or donor leukocyte infusion (DLI), growing evidence indicate that recipient-derived immune cells may also contribute. Whereas the role of recipient-derived antigen-presenting cells in eliciting graft-versus-host reactions and priming donor T cells following DLI is well known, resulting inflammatory responses may also break tolerance of recipient effector cells towards the tumor. Additionally, mouse studies indicated that post-transplant recipient leukocyte infusion produces anti-leukemia and anti-solid-tumor effects that were exclusively mediated by recipient-type effector cells, without graft-versus-host disease. Here, we review current preclinical and clinical evidence on graft-versus-solid-tumor effects and growing evidence on the effector role of recipient-derived immune cells in the anti-tumor effect of alloHSCT.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is a curative treatment option for both malignant and some benign hematological diseases. During the last decade, many of the newer high-dose regimens in different intensity have been developed specifically for patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Today there are three main approaches used prior to allogeneic transplantation: Myeloablative (MA), Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) and Non-MA (NMA) regimens. MA regimens cause irreversible cytopenia and there is a requirement for stem cell support. Patients who receive NMA regimen have minimal cytopenia and this type of regimen can be given without stem cell support. RIC regimens do not fit the criteria of MA and NMA: the cytopenia is reversible and the stem cell support is necessary. NMA/RIC for Allo-HSCT has opened a new era for treating elderly patients and those with comorbidities. The RIC conditioning was used for 40% of all Allo-HSCT and this trend continue to increase. In this paper, we will review these regimens in the setting of especially allogeneic HSCT and our aim is to describe the history, features and impact of these conditioning regimens on specific diseases.

Abstract
We have retrospectively compared survivals between acute myeloid leukemia (AML)/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients who received either a clofarabine/busulfan (CloB2A2) or a fludarabine/busulfan (FB2A2) RIC regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Between 2009 and 2014, 355 allotransplanted cases were identified from the SFGM-TC registry as having received either the FB2A2 (n = 316, 56% males, median age: 59.2 years, AML 78.5%, first complete remission [CR1] 72%, median follow-up: 20 months) or the CloB2A2 (n = 39, 62% males, median age: 60.8 years, AML 62%, CR1 69%, median follow-up: 22.4 months) RIC regimen. In multivariate analysis, FB2A2 was associated with significant lower overall survival (OS, HR: 2.14; 95%CI: 1.05-4.35, P = 0.04) and higher relapse incidence (RI, HR: 2.17; 95%CI: 1.02-4.61, P = 0.04) and a trend for lower leukemia-free survival (LFS, HR: 1.75; 95%CI: 0.94-3.26, P = 0.08). These results were confirmed using a propensity score-matching strategy. However, when considering AML and MDS patients separately, the benefit of the CLOB2A2 regimen was restricted to AML patients (2-year OS FB2A2: 38% [14.5-61.6] vs. CloB2A2: 79.2% [62.9-95.4], P = 0.01; 2-year LFS FB2A2: 38% [16-59.9] vs. CloB2A2: 70.8% [52.6-89], P = 0.03). The better survivals were due to the lower risk of relapse in this CloB2A2 AML subgroup (2-year RI FB2A2: 41.2% [19-62.4] vs. CloB2A2: 16.7% [5-34.2], P = 0.05). This retrospective comparison suggests that the CloB2A2 RIC regimen can likely provide longer survival than that awarded by a FB2A2 RIC regimen and may become a new standard of care RIC regimen for allotransplanted AML patients. A prospective phase 3 randomized study is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) offers potential curative treatment for a wide range of malignant and nonmalignant hematological disorders. However, its success may be limited by post-transplant acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a systemic syndrome in which donor's immune cells attack healthy tissues in the immunocompromised host. aGVHD is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality after alloHSCT. Despite standard GVHD prophylaxis regimens, aGVHD still develops in approximately 40-60% of alloHSCT recipients. AREAS COVERED In this review, after a brief summary of current knowledge on the pathogenesis of aGVHD, the authors review the current combination of a calcineurin inhibitor with an antimetabolite with or without added anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and emerging strategies for GVHD prevention. EXPERT OPINION A new understanding of the involvement of cytokines, intracellular signaling pathways, epigenetics and immunoregulatory cells in GVHD pathogenesis will lead to new standards for aGVHD prophylaxis allowing better prevention of severe aGVHD without affecting graft-versus-tumor effects.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus reactivation (EBV-R) frequently occurs in patients having allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We evaluated the impact of controlled EBV-R on survival of 190 patients (114M/76F, median age: 51 yr, range 18-69), having HSCT for hematological malignancies (105 acute leukemias and myelodysplasias, 71 lymphoproliferative disorders, 14 others). Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between patients with and without EBV-R. Of 138, patients had reduced-intensity conditioning regimen. Various stem cell sources (141 PB, 33 umbilical cord blood and 16 bone marrow) were used. Patients with EBV-R had longer PFS and OS than those without EBV-R: PFS at 2 yr 69% vs. 51% and at 5 yr 47% vs. 38% (P < 0.04); OS at 2 yr 76% vs. 64% and at 5 yr 63% vs. 47%) (P < 0.001). The use of rituximab had no impact on OS and PFS, but it reduced the intensity of GVHD, despite the fact that TRM was not significantly different between the two groups of patients. So, rituximab may have an additional effect to other factors on PFS and OS. In multivariate analysis, antithymocyte globulin administration was not a significant factor for PFS (P = 0.68) and for OS (P = 0.81). Circulating NK cells were significantly increased by 22% (P = 0.03) in EBV-R patients with no differences for other parameters. Controlled EBV-R in the setting of HSCT is associated with better OS and PFS, with a significant increase in circulating NK cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purposes of this study were to assess the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute leukemia (AL) and analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of these patients. METHODS The clinical and follow-up data of 93 AL patients (median age, 30 years) undergoing allogeneic HSCT in Xiangya Hospital over the past 12 years were collected, and the potential factors affecting the efficacy and prognosis of allogeneic HSCT patients were determined. RESULTS Hematopoietic reconstitution was achieved in 90 patients. At the last follow-up, the incidences of severe acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) and extensive chronic GvHD (cGvHD) were 14.0% and 20.0%, the 3-year cumulative incidence of transplantation related mortality (TRM) and relapse rate were 16.8%±6.1% and 21.3%±6.7%, and the estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of the patients were 64.6%±5.4% and 56.5%±5.5%, respectively. Univariate analysis indicated that age older than 40 years, HLA mismatch, and severe lung infection within the first 100 days after transplantation were risk factors for severe aGvHD, age older than 40 years, HLA mismatch, severe lung infection within the first 100 days after transplantation, and severe aGvHD were risk factors for TRM, high-risk AL and lack of cGvHD were risk factors for relapse (all P<0.05). Survival estimation showed that HLA mismatch, severe lung infection occurring within the first 100 days post-transplantation, high-risk AL severe aGvHD and lack of cGvHD were risk factors associated with poor prognosis (all P<0.05). Further multivariate analyses revealed that severe lung infection within the first 100 days post-transplantation, severe aGvHD and lack of cGvHD were independent risk factors for unfavorable outcomes (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Allogeneic HSCT can improve the DFS of AL patients, and severe lung infection within the first 100 days post-transplantation, severe aGvHD and lack of cGvHD are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Over the past four decades, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) has evolved as a curative modality for patients with hematologic diseases. This study describes changes in use, technique, and survival in a population-based cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 38,060 patients with hematologic malignancies or disorders who underwent first alloHCT in a US or Canadian center from 1994 to 2005 and were reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. RESULTS AlloHCT as treatment for acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and myeloid leukemias (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas increased by 45%, from 2,520 to 3,668 patients annually. From 1994 to 2005, use of both peripheral (7% to 63%) [corrected] and cord blood increased (2% to 10%), whereas use of marrow decreased (90% to 27%). Despite a median age increase from 33 to 40 years and 165% [corrected] increase in unrelated donors for alloHCT, overall survival (OS) at day 100 significantly improved for patients with AML in first complete remission after myeloablative sibling alloHCT (85% to 94%; P < .001) and unrelated alloHCT (63% to 86%; P < .001); 1-year OS improved among those undergoing unrelated alloHCT (48% to 63%; P = .003) but not among those undergoing sibling alloHCT. Similar results were seen for ALL and MDS. Day-100 OS after cord blood alloHCT improved significantly from 60% to 78% (P < .001) for AML, ALL, MDS, and chronic myeloid leukemia. Use of reduced-intensity regimens increased, yielding OS rates similar to those of myeloablative regimens. CONCLUSION Survival for those undergoing alloHCT has significantly improved over time. However, new approaches are needed to further improve 1-year OS.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSC) are primitive multipotent cells capable of differentiating into cells of different lineages. They can be an alternative source of pluripotent cells since they are ethically and regulatory approved, are easily obtained and have low immunogenicity compared to embryonic stem cells which are dogged with numerous controversies. hUMSC can be a great source for cell and transplantation therapy.

Macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2)/CXCR2 blockade attenuates acute graft-versus-host disease while preserving graft-versus-leukemia activity. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2012; 426:558-64.

Abstract
Allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), an important treatment for hematological malignancies, is often complicated by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Suppression of GVHD is associated with the unwanted diminishment of the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) response. The aim of this study was to maintain the benefits of GVL during GVHD suppression through isolated blockade of T-cell migration factors. To this end, we developed a murine model of B-cell leukemia, which was treated with BMT to induce GVHD. Within this model, functional blockade of MIP-2/CXCR2 was analyzed by observing proteomic, histologic and clinical variables of GVHD manifestation. Luminex assay of collected tissue identified several cytokines [granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), and interleukin-23 (IL-23)] that were upregulated during GHVD, but reduced by neutralizing the MIP-2/CXCR2 axis. In addition, donor T-cell blockade of CXCR2 combined with recipient administration of anti-MIP-2 caused a significant decrease in GVHD while preserving the GVL response. We propose that blocking the MIP-2/CXCR2 axis represents a novel strategy to separate the toxicity of GVHD from the beneficial effects of GVL after allogenic BMT.

Abstract
PIDD are rare inherited disorders that can result in life-threatening infections. Allogeneic HSCT is the only cure for many primary immune deficiencies; however, the specific diseases and optimal type(s) of transplants are not clear. This study compares transplant outcomes in a large cohort with a relatively uniform pre- and post-transplant management strategies. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 39 pediatric patients who underwent HSCT for SCID (n = 25) or other immune deficiencies (n = 14) from 1986 to 2010. A structured case report form was used to collect clinical information. The outcomes of survival, immune reconstitution, engraftment, incidence of GvHD and IVIG dependency were tabulated. Overall survival rates were 88% for SCID and 86% for other primary immune deficiencies, which are high compared to other historical series. No single variable was associated with mortality. Immunoglobulin dependence occurred only in patients who had X-linked SCID and a parental donor haploidentical transplant. Because of improved supportive care and use of alternative donors and conditioning regimens, HSCT has become an acceptable option for an increasing number of PIDD subtypes not previously transplanted with high frequency. This study encourages greater use of transplantation.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effects of chimerism on the mice heart transplanted survival with the bone marrow infusion. METHODS Bone marrow cells (BMCs) were obtained from BALB/c mice. These BMCs were injected into the irradiated (2Gy-Co60) C57BL/6 mice through femoral vein. Then Group A mice were treated with Cyclosporine (1mg/kg) for 21days and Group B were not treated with Cyclosporine. Group C were treated as the control group without BMCs infusion. Group D were treated with Cyclosporine (1mg/kg) for 21days pre-hearttransplantation without BMCs infusion. After 21days, the C57BL/6 mice received heart allografts from BALB/c. To determine the degree of chimerism in BMCs infusion recipients, peripheral blood were isolated on day 7, 14, 21. Allografts were harvested 10days after heart transplantation for the histological analysis. RESULTS (1) Chimerism detected in the peripheral blood of Group A mice on day 7 after BMCs infusion was 6.1±2.5%, on day 14 was 15.4±2.9% and on day 21 was 10.7±2.6%. For the Group B mice on day 7 after BMCs infusion, the chimerism was 2.8±1.1%, on day 14 was 11.2±4.8% and on day 21 was 7.4±3.7%. For the Groups C and D mice, no chimerism was observed. Group A mice had the tendency toward improved level of chimerism than Group B mice. (2) The survival time of Group A (n=6) was 13.0±1.4days which was significantly longer than Group B (n=6) with the survival time was 8.5±1.3days (p<0.001), also longer than the mice in Groups C and D, the survival time of which were 10.0±1.3days (p=0.008) and 9.4±1.1days (p=0.004). There is no significant difference among Groups B, C, and D. (3) The HE staining showed the much more seriously heart rejection in Groups B, C and D than Group A. CONCLUSIONS The chimerism was found in the BMCs infusion groups. Without the CsA treatment combined with chimerism could not protect the transplanted heart. There was no obvious evidence showed that the chimerism alone could improve the survival time of cardiac allografts in mice.
