Pathophysiology of GvHD and Other HSCT-Related Major Complications

چکیده
For over 60 years, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been the major curative therapy for several hematological and genetic disorders, but its efficacy is limited by the secondary disease called graft versus host disease (GvHD). Huge advances have been made in successful transplantation in order to improve patient quality of life, and yet, complete success is hard to achieve. This review assimilates recent updates on pathophysiology of GvHD, prophylaxis and treatment of GvHD-related complications, and advances in the potential treatment of GvHD.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative therapy for various hematopoietic disorders. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and infections are the major obstacles of HSCT, and their close relationship has been suggested. Although roles of bacterial and viral infections in the pathophysiology of GVHD are well described, impacts of fungal infection on GVHD remain to be e...
متن کاملTreosulfan-based conditioning for allogeneic HSCT in children with chronic granulomatous disease: a multicenter experience.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) can be cured by allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Complications include graft failure, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infection, and transplant-related mortality; therefore, reduced-intensity conditioning regimens are being used to improve outcomes. In this retrospective study, the aim was to determine the outcome of treosulfan-based...

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and infection are major complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in HSCT patients. Recent work has demonstrated that the two complications are interdependent. GVHD occurs when allo-reactive donor T lymphocytes are activated by major histocompatibility antigens or minor hi...
متن کاملMouse models of graft-versus-host disease: advances and limitations
The limiting factor for successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), a post-transplant disorder that results from immune-mediated attack of recipient tissue by donor T cells contained in the transplant. Mouse models of GvHD have provided important insights into the pathophysiology of this disease, which have helped to improve the success rate of...

Objective: Susceptibility to Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GvHD) following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) has been linked to the NOD2 gene, but results have been so far conflicting among individual studies. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain containing 2) polymorphisms as possible susceptibility loci for GvHD as well as ...
