چکیده

Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are widely used in autologous transplantation because of ease of collection and rapid hematopoietic reconstitution. However, PBSCs have rarely been used for allogeneic transplantation because of concerns about donor toxicities from cytokine administration and the theoretical increased risk of graft-versus-hostdisease (GVHD) from the large number of T cells infused. Eight patients with advanced malignancies received allogeneic PBSC transplants from genotypically HLA-identical sibling donors. All donors received 5 days of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF; 16 pg/ kg/day) subcutaneously and were leukapheresed for 2 days. After treatment of the patient with total body irradiation and cyclophosphamide (n = 7) or etoposide, thiotepa, and cyclophosphamide (n = l), PBSCs were infused immediately after collection and without modification. All patients received cyclosporine and either methotrexate (n = 6) or prednisone (n = 2) for GVHD prophylaxis. rhG-CSF was well tolerated with mild bone pain requiring acetaminophen occurring in two donors. All patients engrafted and in seven hematopoietic recovery was rapid, with 500 neutrophilslpL

Advances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

Allogeneic Transplants of Canine Peripheral Blood Stem Cells Mobilized by Recombinant Canine Hematopoietic Growth Factors

We have studied graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after transplantation of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) mobilized by either recombinant canine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rcG-CSF) alone or combined with stem cell factor (rcSCF). These studies were prompted by the observation of extremely rapid and sustained engraftment of growth factor-mobilized PBSC in the autologous...

Transplantation of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells mobilized by recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor.

Recombinant G-CSF has been given to over 150 normal donors for the collection of allogeneic or syngeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). G-CSF was found to be well-tolerated with mild-moderate bone pain, edema and mild thrombocytopenia being the observed side effects. To date, approximately 90 unmodified primary PBSC transplants from HLA-identical related donors have been performed with eng...

RAPID COMMUNICATION Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor–Mobilized Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation Maintains Graft-Versus-Leukemia Effects Through a Perforin-Dependent Pathway While Preventing Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Minimization of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with preservation of the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect is a crucial step to improve the overall survival of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for patients with hematological malignancies. We and other investigators have shown that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)–mobilized allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantati...
