J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2024; 15:1094-1107. [PMID: 38526005 PMCID: PMC11154763 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is a potential risk factor for adverse outcomes in haematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. We aimed to explore longitudinal body changes in muscle and adipose mass and their prognostic value in allogeneic HSCT-treated severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) patients. METHODS We retrospectively analysed consecutive SAA patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT between January 2017 and March 2022. Measurements of pectoral muscle and corresponding subcutaneous fat mass were obtained via chest computed tomography at baseline and at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months following HSCT. Sarcopenia was defined as pectoral muscle index (PMI) lower than the sex-specific median at baseline. Changes in body composition over time were evaluated by generalized estimating equations. Cox regression models were used to investigate prognostic factors affecting overall survival (OS) and failure-free survival (FFS). A nomogram was constructed from the Cox regression model for OS. RESULTS We included 298 adult SAA patients (including 129 females and 169 males) with a median age of 31 years [interquartile range (IQR), 24-39 years] at baseline. Sarcopenia was present in 148 (148/298, 50%) patients at baseline, 218 (218/285, 76%) patients post-1 month, 209 (209/262, 80%) patients post-3 month, 169 (169/218, 78%) patients post-6 month, and 129 (129/181, 71%) patients post-12 month. A significant decrease in pectoral muscle mass was observed in SAA patients from the time of transplant to 1 year after HSCT, and the greatest reduction occurred in post 1-3 months (P < 0.001). The sarcopenia group exhibited significantly lower 5-year OS (90.6% vs. 100%, log-rank P = 0.039) and 5-year FFS (89.2% vs. 100%, log-rank P = 0.021) than the nonsarcopenia group at baseline. Sarcopenia at baseline (hazard ratio, HR, 6.344; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.570-25.538; P = 0.01; and HR, 3.275; 95% CI: 1.159-9.252; P = 0.025, respectively) and the delta value of the PMI at 6 months post-transplantation (ΔPMI6) (HR, 0.531; 95% CI: 0.374-0.756; P < 0.001; and HR, 0.666; 95% CI: 0.505-0.879; P = 0.004, respectively) were demonstrated to be independent prognostic factors for OS and FFS in SAA patients undergoing HSCT, and were used to construct the nomogram. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.75, and the calibration plot showed good agreement between the predictions made by the nomogram and actual observations. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia persists in SAA patients from the time of transplant to the 1-year follow-up after HSCT. Both sarcopenia at baseline and at 6 months following HSCT are associated with poor clinical outcomes, especially in patients with persistent muscle mass loss up to 6 months after transplantation.

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as a first-line treatment for paediatric severe aplastic anemia: a single-center research. Int J Med Sci 2024; 21:1027-1036. [PMID: 38774762 PMCID: PMC11103391 DOI: 10.7150/ijms.94012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
MRD-HSCT is the first-line therapy for children with SAA, while it is not easy to find a compatible donor due to the Chinese one-child policy. IST has a high recurrence rate, a risk of clonal transformation. Thus, Haplo-HSCT, as a first-line treatment, has gradually attracted clinicians' attention. To evaluate the efficacy of Haplo-HSCT in children with SAA, we performed a retrospective study (2006.06-2021.01) of 210 patients with AA who received HSCT or IST in Beijing Children's Hospital. The OS and FFS rates were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of Haplo-HSCT and IST. We found that from 2006 to 2021, 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rates were both 85.3% in the first-line Haplo group, 98.1% and 96.8% in the first-line IST group, both 85.7% in the ATG group (P = 0.866), both 100% in the ATG + TPO group (P = 0.016), and 99.1% and 97.2% in the ATG + eltrombopag group (P = 0.056). 3- and 5-year cumulative FFS rates were both 85.3% in the first-line Haplo-HSCT group and 67.5% and 66.2% in the first-line IST group (P = 0.033). Therefore, we believe that Haplo-HSCT can be a first-line treatment for paediatric SAA.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) offers rapid hematopoietic and immune reconstitution for aplastic anemia (AA). As a non-malignant disorder, attenuation of GVHD remains a clinical priority in AA patients. Our study sought to investigate the safety and efficacy of the prophylactic use of ruxolitinib in allogeneic HSCT. A total of 35 AA patients were retrospectively consecutively treated with allo-HSCT whereby ruxolitinib was added to the standard GVHD prophylaxis regimen (rux group). The addition of peri-transplant ruxolitinib did not impact the engraftment and graft function, while better recovery of CD4+ Tregs in the rux group was observed. Interestingly, the rux group demonstrated significantly lower incidence of bacterial/fungal infections (17.14% vs 45.71%). Compared to the control group, the rux group exhibited significantly lower incidence of moderate to severe aGVHD (17.1% vs 48.6%) with a trend toward lower severe aGVHD (8.6% vs 20%) and cGVHD (26.2 vs 38.3). The rux group also demonstrated a trend toward higher GVHD and failure-free survival (GFFS: 85.7% vs 68.6%) and lower TRM (2.9% vs 14.3%). Addition of ruxolitinib to standard GVHD prophylaxis regimen, thus, represents a safe and highly efficient method for the attenuation of GVHD with better outcome of allo-HSCT.

Second haploidentical bone marrow transplantation with antithymocyte antibody-containing conditioning regimen for graft failure in eight patients with severe aplastic anemia. Sci Rep 2024; 14:2293. [PMID: 38280947 PMCID: PMC10821899 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-52917-4] [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: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024] Open
Abstract
The effects of a second haploidentical bone marrow transplantation with an antithymocyte antibody-containing conditioning regimen after graft failure in patients with severe aplastic anemia remain unclear. Eight severe aplastic anemia patients with graft failure with a median age of 12.5 (range, 3-22) years were retrospectively reviewed. At the second transplantation, they received a median mononuclear cell number of 15.7 (range, 11.2-20.9) × 108/kg or a median CD34+ cell number of 6.2 (range, 2.5-17.5) × 106/kg. They were all successfully engrafted, with a median time of 12.5 (range, 11-16) days for neutrophils and 24 (range, 14-50) days for platelets. Three patients developed skin acute graft-versus-host disease Grades I-II, and another 3 developed limited chronic graft-versus-host disease. All patients successfully recovered after treatment with methylprednisolone (0.5-1 mg/kg/day) and tacrolimus. One patient each died of respiratory failure caused by multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae at 8 months and invasive fungal disease at 23 months after transplantation. Six patients survived with a 5-year estimated overall survival of 75% and a median follow-up time of 61 (range, 8-129) months. A second haploidentical bone marrow transplantation with an antithymocyte antibody-containing conditioning regimen was feasible for saving severe aplastic anemia patients with graft failure.

Abstract
Immunosuppressive treatment (IST) and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) are standard therapies for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). We report on conditional survival and standardized mortality ratios (SMR), which compare the mortality risk with the general population adjusted for age, gender, and race/ethnicity, in patients with SAA alive for at least 12 months after treatment with IST or HCT between 2000 and 2018. Given changes to treatment regimens and differences in length of follow-up, two treatment periods were defined a priori: 2000-2010 and 2011-2018. The SMR of patients treated during the period 2000-2010 and who survived one year were 3.50 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.62-4.58), 4.12 (95% CI: 3.20-5.21), and 8.62 (95% CI: 6.88-10.67) after IST, matched related donor HCT, and alternative donor HCT, respectively. For the period 2011-2018, the corresponding SMR were 2.89 (95% CI: 1.54-4.94), 3.12 (95% CI: 1.90-4.82), and 4.75 (95% CI: 3.45-6.38), respectively. For IST patients, their mortality risk decreased over time, and became comparable to the general population by five years. For patients who underwent HCT during 2000-2010 and 2011-2018, their mortality risk became comparable to the general population after ten years and after five years, respectively. Thus, 1-year survivors after IST or HCT can expect their longevity beyond five years to be comparable to that of the general US population.

Abstract
This meta-analysis was to evaluate the outcome of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Haplo-HSCT) for aplastic anemia (AA) compared with matched related donor (MRD)-HSCT, matched unrelated donor (MUD)-HSCT, and immunosuppressive therapy (IST). Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP databases were searched for relevant studies from inception to 22 June 2022. Relative risk (RR) was used to indicate the effect indicator, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) being applied to express the effect size. A subgroup analysis based on the literature quality (low, fair, and high) was applied. Totally, 25 studies were included in this study, comprising 2252 patients. Our findings demonstrated no difference between Haplo-HSCT and MRD-HSCT in 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival (OS), failure-free survival (FFS), and engraftment. However, Haplo-HSCT had higher incidences of II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), chronic GVHD (cGVHD), and cytomegalovirus infection. There were no differences in 3- and 5-year OS, 3-year FFS, platelet engraftment, graft failure (GF), II-IV grade of aGVHD, and complication between Haplo-HSCT and MUD-HSCT; however, Haplo-HSCT had a lower incidence of cGVHD. Compared with IST, Haplo-HSCT had a higher 3-year FFS and 3- and 6-month response rate. However, there were no differences in 3- and 5-year OS, and 12-month response rate between Haplo-HSCT and IST. This study suggests that Haplo-HSCT may be a realistic therapeutic option for AA, which may provide a reference for decision-making.

Abstract
Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) consisting of antihuman thymocyte globulin and cyclosporine A is the first-line therapy for patients with severe aplastic anemia (AA) who are ineligible for undergoing bone marrow transplantation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between natural killer (NK) cells and response to IST in SAA patients. We retrospectively included 93 AA patients and detected NK cells in peripheral blood by flow cytometry. Both the proportion and absolute number of NK cells in newly diagnosed SAA patients were significantly lower than in controls, while the proportion and absolute number of NK cells in complete remission patients treated with IST were remarkably increased compared with treatment-naïve SAA patients. Additionally, the absolute number of NK cells at diagnosis was positively correlated with initial blood counts. For SAA patients receiving IST, the proportion of NK cells at baseline and 6 months was significantly higher in responders than in non-responders. Unexpectedly, we found that the increase in the proportion of NK cells at 6 months after IST was closely related to the recovery of hematopoiesis. ROC curve identified 7.3% of NK cells proportion at diagnosis as the cutoff value to predict response to IST. The response rate was higher in NK proportion high group than in NK proportion low group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further confirmed the independent predictive value of NK cells proportion in assessing IST response. The proportion of NK cells at diagnosis may serve as a promising predictor of response to IST in patients with SAA.

Comparison of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy as the first-line treatment option for patients with severe hepatitis−associated aplastic anemia. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1146997. [PMID: 37006284 PMCID: PMC10063874 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1146997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) is a rare variant of acquired aplastic anemia characterized with a syndrome of bone marrow failure after hepatitis. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of consecutive severe HAAA patients who received immunosuppressive therapy (IST, n = 70), matched-sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MSD-HSCT, n = 26) or haploidentical-donor (HID) HSCT (n = 11) as the first-line treatment. In the IST group, the hematologic response (HR) rate was 55.71% at 6 months. In contrast, HSCT recipients exhibited significantly more rapid and sustained hematopoiesis (HR 76.92%, 96.15% and 96.15% at 3, 6 and 12months, respectively). The 5-year overall survival (OS) was not different among IST (83.7 ± 4.9%), MSD-HSCT (93.3 ± 6.4%) and HID-HSCT group (80.8 ± 12.3%). Compared with IST, MSD and HID-HSCT demonstrated a trend of superiority in the estimated 5-year failure-free survival rates (93.3 ± 6.4% vs 64.3 ± 6.0%, p = 0.05; 80.8 ± 12.3% vs 64.3 ± 6.0%, p = 0.57). In subsequent stratified analysis on age, we found that HID-HSCT showed its efficacy and safety among young patients. In sum, MSD-HSCT remains first-line treatment choice for HAAA, whereas HID-HSCT represents an alternative treatment choice in addition to IST for young patients (< 40 years) without a matched sibling donor.

Porcine anti-human lymphocyte immunoglobulin depletes the lymphocyte population to promote successful kidney transplantation. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1124790.

Abstract
IntroductionPorcine anti-human lymphocyte immunoglobulin (pALG) has been used in kidney transplantation, but its impacts on the lymphocyte cell pool remain unclear.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 12 kidney transplant recipients receiving pALG, and additional recipients receiving rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin (rATG), basiliximab, or no induction therapy as a comparison group.ResultspALG showed high binding affinity to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after administration, immediately depleting blood lymphocytes; an effect that was weaker than rATG but stronger than basiliximab. Single-cell sequencing analysis showed that pALG mainly influenced T cells and innate immune cells (mononuclear phagocytes and neutrophils). By analyzing immune cell subsets, we found that pALG moderately depleted CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, regulatory T cells, and NKT cells and mildly inhibited dendritic cells. Serum inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-6) were only moderately increased compared with rATG, which might be beneficial in terms of reducing the risk of untoward immune activation. During 3 months of follow-up, we found that all recipients and transplanted kidneys survived and showed good organ function recovery; there were no cases of rejection and a low rate of complications.DiscussionIn conclusion, pALG acts mainly by moderately depleting T cells and is thus a good candidate for induction therapy for kidney transplant recipients. The immunological features of pALG should be exploited for the development of individually-optimized induction therapies based on the needs of the transplant and the immune status of the patient, which is appropriate for non-high-risk recipients.

Development and validation of early death risk score model for emergency status prediction in very severe aplastic anemia. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1175048. [PMID: 37153568 PMCID: PMC10158980 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1175048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
This study developed and validated the Early Death Risk Score Model for early identification of emergency patients with very severe aplastic anemia (VSAA). All 377 patients with VSAA receiving first-line immunosuppressive therapy (IST) were categorized into training (n=252) and validation (n=125) cohorts. In the training cohort, age >24 years, absolute neutrophil count ≤0.015×109/L, serum ferritin >900ng/mL and times of fever before IST >1 time were significantly associated with early death. Covariates were assigned scores and categorized as: low (score 0-4), medium (score 5-7) and high (score ≥8) risk. Early death rate was significantly different between risk groups and the validation cohort results were consistent with those of the training cohort. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the model was 0.835 (0.734,0.936) in the training cohort and 0.862 (0.730,0.994) in the validation cohort. The calibration plots showed high agreement, and decision curve analysis showed good benefit in clinical applications. The VSAA Early Death Risk Score Model can help with early identification of emergency VSAA and optimize treatment strategies. Emergency VSAA with high risk is associated with high early death rate, and alternative donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation could be a better treatment than IST even without HLA-matching.

Long-term survivors demonstrate superior quality of life after haploidentical stem cell transplantation to matched sibling donor transplantation. J Transl Med 2022; 20:596. [DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03803-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been well-documented that haplo-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) can provide outcomes comparable to conventional matched sibling donor (MSD) HSCT, however, little is known about the effects on quality of life (QoL) in long-term survivors. This study is to investigate the differences in longitudinal performance of QoL between HID and MSD HSCT using a comprehensive assessment system.
Methods
This prospective study enrolled consecutive patients who had received allogenic-HSCT (allo-HSCT) between January 2018 and December 2019 in our center. All patients were informed to complete QoL questionnaires including the Mos 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT, version 4), using an online applet, before transplantation and at scheduled time points after transplantation. The linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the variation trend of different dimensions of both SF-36 and FACT-BMT with different follow-up times.
Results
Of the 425 participants, recipients of HID and MSD who survived more than 1 year (n = 230) were included in the final analysis of QoL (median age [range]: 36, [15, 66]). The 3 year overall survival (OS) of HID and MSD was 82.42% and 86.46%, respectively. QoL was assessed using both SF-36 and FACT-BMT and there was longitudinal recovery with clinical significance in the cohort. Compared to MSD-HSCT patients, HID-HSCT recipients demonstrated superior QoL performance in some subscales describing physical and mental wellness. Specifically, the difference in physical performance is more remarkable using FACT-BMT whereas that in mental wellness is more significant using SF36. In the subsequent stratified analysis, patients with a history of aGVHD or CMV reactivation demonstrated inferior QoL.
Conclusions
Long-term survivors of HID HSCT achieved better QoL in some sub-scales compared to MSD HSCT. In addition, SF-36 and FACT-BMT demonstrated different performance thus combination of both improved capacity of the evaluation system.

The prognostic impact of previously infectious complications on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with severe aplastic anemia: A single-center, retrospective study. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1004787. [PMID: 36172387 PMCID: PMC9510614 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1004787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Whether infections before transplantation impair the survival of patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective cohort analysis was to compare survival between patients with SAA who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with infection (n=66) and patients without infection (n=189) from one medical center. There were no differences in baseline characteristics, except that more patients in the infection group were diagnosed with VSAA (59.09% vs. 30.69%, P<0.001), and their grafts were more peripheral blood stem cells (89.39% vs. 76.72%, P=0.042). In addition, the percentage of patients with multidrug-resistant organism colonization or infection in the infection group was larger (16.7% vs. 0.5%, P<0.001). The median days of engraftment were similar between the two groups; however, the 28-day engraftment rates of neutrophils and platelets were lower in the infection group. No differences were observed in terms of grades II–IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) (P=0.418), grades III–IV aGVHD (P=0.075), mild to severe chronic GVHD (cGVHD) (P=0.899), and moderate to severe cGVHD (P=0.342). Patients in the infection group had more bloodstream infections before engraftment (28.8% vs. 15.3%, P=0.016), and the primary cause of death was infection instead of aGVHD in contrast to patients without infection (16.7% vs. 4.2%, P=0.002). Finally, the estimated overall survival (OS), failure-free survival (FFS), and GVHD-free FFS at 5 years were 63% (95% CI, 51–78), 60% (95% CI, 47–74), and 55% (95% CI, 43–70) in patients with infection before transplantation versus 86% (95% CI, 81–92) (P<0.001), 82% (95% CI, 76–88) (P<0.001), and 75% (95% CI, 69–82) (P=0.003) in patients without infection before transplantation, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified haploidentical HSCT and pre-HSCT anti-infection response, defined as partial remission (PR) or stable disease (SD), as adverse factors of OS and FFS. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that SAA patients with infection defined as PR or SD but not complete remission before allo-HSCT showed inferior survival compared with patients without infection. Therefore, more attention should be paid to prophylaxis and complete control of infectious complications before transplantation among SAA patients.
