AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigated the effectiveness of intra-bone marrow (IBM) infusion of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells in reducing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in mice.
  • Female C57BL/6 mice were exposed to total body irradiation and then received stem cells from mobilized male BALB/c mice, with results showing that the IBM group experienced significantly lower GVHD incidence and severity compared to the tail vein injection group.
  • The findings suggest that IBM infusion improves stem cell homing and reduces GVHD in allogeneic transplant scenarios.

Article Abstract

This study was aimed to explore whether the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) could be alleviated by intra-bone marrow (IBM) infusion of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells. Female C57BL/6 mice as recipients received total body irradiation (TBI) 4 Gy on day 0, followed by injection of peripheral hematopoietic stem cells (1 x 10(7)) from mobilized male BALB/c with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), and cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally two days later. The results showed that the incidence and severity of GVHD were more low and alleviative in group IBM-PBSCT than that in group TV-PBSCT (p < 0.05). Y chromosome of donor mice could be detected in the bone marrow of recipient mice. It is concluded that the method of intra-bone marrow infusion is superior to injection via the tail vein in the engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells in terms of stem cell homing while the frequency and severity of GVHD in allogeneic mice decrease.

Gut microbiota disruptions after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) are associated with increased risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). We designed a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to test whether healthy-donor fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) early after alloHCT reduces the incidence of severe aGVHD. Here, we report the results from the single-arm run-in phase which identified the best of 3 stool donors for the randomized phase.

Background: Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) are a diverse group of clonal myeloid disorders. Advances in molecular technology lead to the development of new classification systems. However, large-scale epidemiological studies on MDS in Asian countries are currently scarce.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains one of the most common and challenging post-transplant infections. Children with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) and T-cell dysfunction are at high risk for CMV infection, which can be complicated by refractory and/or resistant cases. This case describes a Nepalese girl with MHC class II deficiency, who presented at 3 months of age with CMV and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia.

Unrelated bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a curative treatment for hematological malignancies. While HLA mismatch is a recognized risk factor in unrelated BMT, the significance of non-HLA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) remains uncertain. Cytokines play key roles in several aspects of unrelated BMT.

To identify the differences between aged and young human hematopoiesis, we performed a direct comparison of aged and young human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Alterations in transcriptome profiles upon aging between humans and mice were then compared. Human specimens consist of CD34+ cells from bone marrow, and mouse specimens of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs; Lin- Kit+ Sca1+ CD150+).
