In this issue of , Derderian et al demonstrate that in utero administration of an anti-c-Kit receptor antibody to mice augments engraftment of congenic donor hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) infused in the neonatal period.

Introduction: In haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from a healthy donor replace the patient's ones. Ex vivo HSC gene therapy (HSC-GT) is a form of HSCT in which HSCs, usually from an autologous source, are genetically modified before infusion, to generate a progeny of gene-modified cells. In HSCT and HSC-GT, chemotherapy is administered before infusion to free space in the bone marrow (BM) niche, which is required for the engraftment of infused cells.

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell gene therapy (HSPC-GT) is proving successful to treat several genetic diseases. HSPCs are mobilized, harvested, genetically corrected ex vivo, and infused, after the administration of toxic myeloablative conditioning to deplete the bone marrow (BM) for the modified cells. We show that mobilizers create an opportunity for seamless engraftment of exogenous cells, which effectively outcompete those mobilized, to repopulate the depleted BM.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has remained the main cause of post-transplantation mortality and morbidity after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), adding significant economic burden and affecting quality of life. It would be desirable to reduce the rate of GVHD among patients in complete remission (CR) without increasing the risk of relapse. In this study, we have tested a novel conditioning regimen of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) at 2000 cGy, together with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first or second CR, to attenuate the risk of chronic GVHD by using PTCy, while using escalated targeted radiation conditioning before allografting to offset the possible increased risk of relapse.

The hematopoietic cell transplantation practice has changed significantly over the years. More than 1500 centers around the globe are offering transplant for different types of diseases. This growth was driven by improving the efficacy and the safety of the procedure and the ability to use alternate donors.

In the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is still the most potential approach for cure of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphocytic leukemia (Ph ALL). TKI plus chemotherapy has strikingly increased response rates and depth of response, and facilitated allo-HSCT, which decreases relapse and improves survival eventually. Meanwhile, for those with older age or comorbidities at diagnosis, TKI in combination with reduced-intensity chemotherapy or chemotherapy-free strategy reduces treatment-related mortality, deferred intensive chemotherapy increases molecular responses and reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allo-HSCT improves survival finally.
