Abstract
Background
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) represents a curative treatment for various blood-related disorders, including hematological malignancies and genetic disorders. The success of this procedure hinges on the efficacy of the conditioning regimen and the graft's ability to engraft and function properly. Microparticles (MPs), small vesicles produced from stimulated, apoptotic, or activated cells, are involved in both physiological and pathological processes. However, the impact of MPs on allo-HCT remains poorly understood.
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the presence of MPs from different cell types in grafts and patient plasma after allo-HCT, as well as their association with various parameters. We measured MPs from CD34+, CD56+, CD3+, CD19+, and CD33+ cells in grafts and patient plasma from day 0 to day 60 after transplantation.
Methods
224 blood samples were collected from 19 consecutive allo –HCT recipients at 0, +4, +14,+30 and + 60 day as well as from their grafts. MPs isolated from the plasma and quantified by flow cytometry analysis.
Results
MP levels varied over time. Notably, CD34+ MP levels were linked to both early and late engraftment of neutrophils and platelets. Furthermore, grafts with high CD34+ and CD56+ MP levels in patient plasma on days 0 and + 4 were associated with late engraftment, whereas high CD33+ MP levels in both graft and patient plasma on day +4 were associated with early engraftment. Conditioning regimen affected CD19+ MP levels at day +14, and the number of CD34+, CD56+, and CD19+ MPs 30 days after transplantation was correlated with acute graft-versus-host disease.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that MPs derived from hematopoietic cells may play a significant role in the clinical course of patients following allo-HCT.
期刊介绍:
Transplant Immunology will publish up-to-date information on all aspects of the broad field it encompasses. The journal will be directed at (basic) scientists, tissue typers, transplant physicians and surgeons, and research and data on all immunological aspects of organ-, tissue- and (haematopoietic) stem cell transplantation are of potential interest to the readers of Transplant Immunology. Original papers, Review articles and Hypotheses will be considered for publication and submitted manuscripts will be rapidly peer-reviewed and published. They will be judged on the basis of scientific merit, originality, timeliness and quality.
