چکیده

In utero haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (IUHSCT) is a non-myeloablative approach for the prenatal treatment of genetic disorders. However, in target disorders, where there is not a selective advantage for donor cells, a useful donor-cell chimerism has not been achieved. There are three possible barriers to engraftment following IUHSCT: limited space in the fetus due to host-cell competition; the large number of donor cells needed, and the immunological asset of recipient.

Boosting Hematopoietic Engraftment after in Utero Transplantation through Vascular Niche Manipulation

In utero hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell transplantation (IUHSCT) has only been fully successful in the treatment of congenital immunodeficiency diseases. Using sheep as a large animal model of IUHSCT, we demonstrate that administration of CD146(+)CXCL12(+)VEGFR2(+) or CD146(+)CXCL12(+)VEGFR2(-) cells prior to, or in combination with, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC), results in rob...

High-level allogeneic chimerism achieved by prenatal tolerance induction and postnatal nonmyeloablative bone marrow transplantation.

Clinical application of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has been limited by toxicity related to cytoreductive conditioning and immune response. In utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (IUHSCT) is a nonablative approach that achieves mixed chimerism and donor-specific tolerance but has been limited by minimal engraftment. We hypothesized that mixed chimerism achieved by IUH...
