Immune modulation and chronic graft-versus-host disease

Bone Marrow Transplantation
Rj Soiffer

Abstract

As more and more patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) survive the early post-transplant period, the number of individuals at risk for chronic GVHD has grown. Treatment for established cGVHD remains unsatisfactory. No experimental agent has demonstrated superiority to steroids alone in a randomized clinical trial. Distinguishing chronic from acute graft-versus-host disease is a major issue. The importance of achieving clarity in cGVHD diagnosis is critical as efforts are undertaken to understand its pathogenesis and to design definitive trials that can target prevention and/or treatment. Immune tolerance to self-antigens may be broken in cGVHD, giving rise to the autoimmune manifestations of the disorder. Recent attention has focused on CD4+CD25 regulatory T cells and their relationship to cGVHD. Significant enthusiasm has emerged for manipulating Treg either ex vivo or in vivo for clinical benefit. Another immunomodulatory approach to cGVHD might be the targeting of B lymphocytes and the antibodies they produce. As efforts continue to devise strategies to treat and prevent chronic GVHD, it is important to acknowledge the link between cGVHD and freedom from relapse, at least for certain malignancies.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Leukemia (Keystone)

B-cell leukemia includes various types of lymphoid leukemia that affect B cells. Here is the latest research on B-cell leukemia.
