Antinuclear antibodies produced in HLA-DR transgenic humanized mice developed chronic graft-versus-host disease - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34825089/

Hu-HSC NOG-Iab KO, HLA-DR 0405 Tg mice differed from conventional models in terms of B-cell activation and ANA production. This study is the first to report on B-cell activation and...


Conclusion/Relevance:u-HSC NOG-Iab KO, HLA-DR 0405 Tg mice differed from conventional models in terms of B-cell activation and ANA production. This study is the first to report on B-cell activation and autoantibody production in humanized mice with chronic GVHD, suggesting that hu-HSC NOG-Iab KO, HLA-DR 0405 Tg mice could be applied to a new...

High Levels of Donor‐derived Cell‐Free DNA in a Case of Graft‐Versus‐Host‐Disease Following Liver Transplantation

High Levels of Donor‐derived Cell‐Free DNA in a Case of Graft‐Versus‐Host‐Disease Following Liver Transplantation

Source : https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ajt.16894

This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between...


Conclusion/Relevance:Emerging noninvasive diagnostic techniques like the quantification of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) for surveillance may improve the current standard-of-care. Herein, we report the use of this methodology in a patient with GVHD and corresponding levels of dd-cfDNA without any evidence of graft injury. Correlation of...

IL-10 mRNA Engineered MSCs Demonstrate Enhanced Anti-Inflammation in an Acute GvHD Model - PubMed

IL-10 mRNA Engineered MSCs Demonstrate Enhanced Anti-Inflammation in an Acute GvHD Model - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34831324/

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used in various studies to induce immunomodulatory effects in clinical conditions associated with immune dysregulation such as graft versus host disease (GvHD). However, most of...


Conclusion/Relevance: In summary, our studies demonstrate the feasibility of potentiating MSCs to enhance their immunomodulatory effects by IL-10 mRNA transfection. The use of non-viral transfection may generate a safe and potent MSC product for treatment of clinical conditions associated with immune dysregulation such as GvHD.

The impact of beta-blocker use at the time of hematopoietic cell transplantation on the development of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease - PubMed

The impact of beta-blocker use at the time of hematopoietic cell transplantation on the development of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34780786/

Sympathetic nervous system activation plays a role in the development of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The primary objective was to compare the...


Conclusion: Results show a non-significant trend in the association between ß-blocker use and reduction in the risk of developing cGVHD (cause-specific hazard ratio 0.49, p = 0.060), with no negative impact on survival or relapse. The current data are supportive of a potential ß-adrenergic influence on the pathogenesis of GVHD, consistent with...

Diagnosis and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease after liver transplantation: Report of six cases - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34786412/

The rapid diagnosis of aGVHD is mainly based on the time from the first symptom, histopathological features, and the donor T-lymphocyte chimerism. Our cases report highlights massive corticosteroid therapy and...


Conclusion: The rapid diagnosis of aGVHD is mainly based on the time from the first symptom, histopathological features, and the donor T-lymphocyte chimerism. Our cases report highlights massive corticosteroid therapy and age difference between donors and recipients could accelerate to aGVHD. Moreover, gut microbial interventions and...
