چکیده

We analyzed 112 patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (61 in complete remission [CR]; 51 in relapse), who received human leukocyte-antigen (HLA)-haploidentical transplants from natural killer (NK) alloreactive (n = 51) or non-NK alloreactive donors (n = 61). NK alloreactive donors possessed HLA class I, killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand(s) which were missing in the recipients, KIR gene(s) for missing self recognition on recipient targets, and alloreactive NK clones against recipient targets. Transplantation from NK-alloreactive donors was associated with a significantly lower relapse rate in patients transplanted in CR (3% versus 47%) (P > .003), better event-free survival in patients transplanted in relapse (34% versus 6%, P = .04) and in remission (67% versus 18%, P = .02), and reduced risk of relapse or death (relative risk versus non-NK-alloreactive donor, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.29-0.78; P > .001). In all patients we tested the "missing ligand" model which pools KIR ligand mismatched transplants and KIR ligand-matched transplants from donors possessing KIR(s) for which neither donor nor recipient have HLA ligand(s). Only transplantation from NK-alloreactive donors is associated with a survival advantage.

بهبود بقا بیماران مبتلا به لوسمی لنفوبلاستیک حاد فاقد HLA-A3/11 برای KIR3DL2 دهنده پس از پیوند سلول های بنیادی خونساز از خواهر یا برادر با HLA مشابه بدون تخلیه سلول T

A potential factor influencing hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT) outcome is the presence of donor-derived alloreactive natural killer (NK) cells. This retrospective analysis studied the impact of NK alloreactivity based on the missing KIR ligand, for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients undergoing non-T-cell depleted HLA-identical sibling HS...

Background : Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT) is a valuable therapy for refractory acute leukemias, leukemias with a high risk for relapse, myelodysplastic syndromes, and chronic myeloid leukemia. HSCT outcome is dependent on several factors, including the stage of disease, degree of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identity between donor and recipient, conditioning regim...

Haploidentical hematopoietic transplantation for the cure of leukemia: from its biology to clinical translation.

The present review describes the biology of human leukocyte antigen haplotype mismatched ("haploidentical") transplantation, its translation to clinical practice to cure leukemia, and the results of current transplantation protocols. The 1990s saw what had been major drawbacks of haploidentical transplantation, ie, very strong host-versus-graft and graft-versus-host alloresponses, which led res...

Transplantation and innate immunity: the lesson of natural killer cells

Natural killer cells have been demonstrated to play a major role in mediating an anti-leukemia effect in patients given a T-cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from an HLA-haploidentical family donor. In particular, donor-derived natural killer cells, which are alloreactive (i.e. KIR/HLA mismatched) towards recipient cells, significantly contribute to the eradicatio...

Reduction of Relapse after Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplantation by KIR-Based Graft Selection

Besides donor T cells, natural killer (NK) cells are considered to have a major role in preventing relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). After T-cell-depleted haploidentical HSCT, a strong NK alloreactivity has been described. These effects have been attributed to killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). Abundant reports suggest a major role of KIR not...
