Objective To explore the impact of IL-10 gene polymorphisms on the outcome in HLA matched sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Methods PCR-sequencespecific primer (PCR-SSP) assay was used to analyze the SNP of IL-10 in 77 recipient and donor pairs:-1082 A/G,-819 T/C,-592 C/A.Results IL-10 ATA/ATA (1082,-819,-592) genotype in recipients significantly decreased the incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute graft vursus-host disease (aGVHD) (6.1％ vs.25.0 ％,P＜0.05),reduced 5-year transplant-related mortality (TRM) (10.7 ％± 5.9％ vs.29.7％ ± 5.2％,P＜0.05) and increased disease free survival (DFS) (81.8％ ± 6.7％ vs.56.8％ ± 7.5％,P＜0.05).With regard to the donor genotype,the incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD,extensive chronic GVHD,5-year TRM and DFS had no signicant difference between IL-10 ATA/ATA and non ATA/ATA subgroup.Multivariable analysis also revealed that IL-10 non-ATA/ATA genotype in recipients and high-risk status of disease were two independent risk factors for DFS (HR =2.911,P =0.029; HR =2.686,P =0.027).Conclusion In HLA-matched sibling HSCT,the presence of recipient IL-10 ATA/ATA significantly decreased the incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD and TRM,and increased DFS.

OBJECTIVETo explore the impact of interleukin-18 (IL-18) single nucleotide polymorphisms on outcomes of hematologic malignancies with HLA-matched sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

METHODSSingle- nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-18 promoter was detected by PCR-sequence-specific primer analysis (PCR-SSP) in 93 recipients and their HLA matched sibling donors. Hematopoietic reconstitution, incidences of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and infections, transplant related mortality (TRM), and disease free survival (DFS) were analyzed.

RESULTSIn comparison with -137 G/C+C/C donor genotype, patients with -137 G/G donor genotype had shorter duration of neutrophil recovery [15(11-23) days vs 17(11-24) days, P=0.01], higher incidence of extensive chronic GVHD (20.6% vs 3.3%, P=0.029), but no difference in the interval of platelet recovery [20(11-46) days vs 20(7-38) days, P=0.844]. The incidence of extensive chronic GVHD in -607 C/C donor genotype (31.6%) was significantly higher than that (10.8%) in C/A + A/A donor genotype (P=0.024). Recipients with -607 C/C genotype also had higher incidence (33.3%) of extensive chronic GVHD than those with C/A+A/A genotype (10.7%, P=0.016). There were no differences in acute GVHD, TRM, and DFS between different genotypes.

CONCLUSIONIL-18 -137 G homozygous genotype in donor facilitated neutrophil reconstitution, but increased the risk of extensive chronic GVHD in patients with allo-HSCT.
