Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Because of their immunological properties, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfusion is developed as a new treatment for refractory graft-versus-host disease. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the safety and curative effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfusion on treating different organ damages in graft-versus-host disease after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation. METHODS:Eight patients with malignant hematologic disease were included in this study. The patients developed severe steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation and received transfusion of mesenchymal stme cell(1×106 of immunosuppressive agent. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:For the total y eight patients, six got response (two cases of complete remission, and four cases of partial remission) and two showed no remission. Four of five cutaneous damages were ameliorated and one showed no effect. For three cases of oral graft-versus-host disease, two acquired complete remission and one showed partial remission. Two cases of liver graft-versus-host disease and two cases of astro-intestinal graft-versus-host disease obtained complete remission. No response was displayed to three cases of ocular graft-versus-host disease, one case of bronchiolitis obliterans, and one case of urinary graft-versus-host disease. In the median fol ow-up of 28 months (7-62 months), three patients developed posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders within 3 months after mesenchymal stem cells transfusion. Administration of mesenchymal stem cells is safe for treatment of severe graft-versus-host disease after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation. Mesenchymal stem cells transfusion may be a promising/kg) together with the primary therapy therapy for refractory cutaneous , astro-intestinal, liver and oral graft-versus-host disease but not for pulmonary, ocular and urinary graft-versus-host disease. Whether mesenchymal stem cells transfusion is associated with posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders needs more case data.
