Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor alters the systemic metabolomic profile in healthy donors.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Peripheral blood stem cells mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) from healthy donors are commonly used for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The effect of G-CSF administration on global serum metabolite profiles has not been investigated before.

Objectives

This study aims to examine the systemic metabolomic profiles prior to and following administration of G-CSF in healthy adults.

Methods

Blood samples were collected from 15 healthy stem cell donors prior to and after administration of G-CSF 10 µg/kg/day for 4 days. Using a non-targeted metabolomics approach, metabolite levels in serum were determined using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Results

Comparison of the metabolite profiles of donors before and after G-CSF treatment revealed 239 metabolites that were significantly altered. The major changes of the metabolite profiles following G-CSF administration included alteration of several fatty acids, including increased levels of several medium and long-chain fatty acids, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids; while there were lower levels of other lipid metabolites such as phospholipids, lysolipids, sphingolipids. Furthermore, there were significantly lower levels of several amino acids and/or their metabolites, including several amino acids with known immunoregulatory functions (methionine, tryptophan, valine). Lastly, the levels of several nucleotides and nucleotide metabolites (guanosine, adenosine, inosine) were also decreased after G-CSF administration, while methylated products were increased. Some of these altered products/metabolites may potentially have angioregulatory effects whereas others may suggest altered intracellular epigenetic regulation.

Conclusion

Our results show that G-CSF treatment alters biochemical serum profiles, in particular amino acid, lipid and nucleotide metabolism. Additional studies are needed to further evaluate the relevance of these changes in healthy donors.

Project description:Background:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is associated with a high risk of immune-mediated post-transplant complications. Graft depletion of immunocompetent cell subsets is regarded as a possible strategy to reduce this risk without reducing antileukemic immune reactivity. Study design and methods:We investigated the effect of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on peripheral blood and stem cell graft levels of various T, B, and NK cell subsets in healthy donors. The results from flow cytometric cell quantification were examined by bioinformatics analyses. Results:The G-CSF-induced mobilization of lymphocytes was a non-random process with preferential mobilization of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells together with T cell receptor αβ+ T cells, naïve T regulatory cells, type 1 T regulatory cells, mature and memory B cells, and cytokine-producing NK cells. Analysis of circulating lymphoid cell capacity to release various cytokines (IFNγ, IL10, TGFβ, IL4, IL9, IL17, and IL22) showed preferential mobilization of IL10 releasing CD4+ T cells and CD3-19- cells. During G-CSF treatment, the healthy donors formed two subsets with generally strong and weaker mobilization of immunocompetent cells, respectively; hence the donors differed in their G-CSF responsiveness with regard to mobilization of immunocompetent cells. The different responsiveness was not reflected in the graft levels of various immunocompetent cell subsets. Furthermore, differences in donor G-CSF responsiveness were associated with time until platelet engraftment. Finally, strong G-CSF-induced mobilization of various T cell subsets seemed to increase the risk of recipient acute graft versus host disease, and this was independent of the graft T cell levels. Conclusion:Healthy donors differ in their G-CSF responsiveness and preferential mobilization of immunocompetent cells. This difference seems to influence post-transplant recipient outcomes.
