Abstract:
Immune-mediated hemocytopenia is a common cytopenic diseases without bone marrow hematopoietic abnormalities, the patient's quality of life is significantly reduced when first-line treatments are ineffective. Rapamycin, possesses a clear mechanism of targeting mTOR protein, can upregulate regulatory T cells and induces apoptosis of specific cells, by regulating the lymphocyte subsets, so as to treat various types of immune-mediated hemocytopenia with a certain therapeutic effect. In this reviews, the action mechanism and clinical application of rapamycin in immune thrombocytopenia(ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia(AIHA), acquired aplastic anemia and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome(ALPS) etc. are summarized.
