Project description:The prediction of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is critical for treatment decisions. The granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSCs) show a fast recovery post-transplantation and constituted the major part of peripheral blood in the early phase after allo-HSCT. These cells were previously believed to exhibit immunosuppressive properties. However, they also promote inflammation under specific conditions. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive study of G-MDSCs from 82 patients after allo-HSCT within 90 days to elucidate the role of them in post-transplantation immunity. Strikingly, our results showed that G-MDSCs promoted inflammation in the early-stage, by facilitating cytokine secretion and proliferation of T cells, as well as their differentiation into pro-inflammatory T helper subsets. At day 28, patients with a higher number of G-MDSCs exhibited an increased risk of developing aGvHD. Besides, adoptive transfer of G-MDSCs from patients into humanized mice exacerbated aGvHD. However, at day 90, G-MDSCs showed immunosuppressive features, characterized by upregulated expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase gene and interleukin-10 secretion, coupled with the inhibition of T cell proliferation. Furthermore, transcriptional analysis of G-MDSCs at day 28 and day 90 revealed that a total of 1445 genes were differentially expressed. Genes linked to the endoplasmic reticulum stress were upregulated in patients without aGvHD. After the genetic overlap analysis, DERL1 may be the hub-gene. Our findings elucidate the alteration in the immune characteristics of G-MDSCs within the first 90 days post allo-HSCT. Moreover, the quantity of G-MDSCs at day 28 could serve as a predictive indicator for aGvHD.
Project description:The goal of our study is to determine whether Atg16L1 deficiency leads to differences in the transcriptional profile of CD11c+ Dendritic Cells, ultimately leading to an increased inflammatory phenotype. CD11c+ cell sorted splenic DCs were isolated from 8 week old WT and Atg16L1 hypomorphic mice from spleens of allo-HSCT recipients on day 7 were placed directly into TRIzol LS (Invitrogen). mRNA was isolated, amplified, and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip (MOE430A).
Project description:Longitudinally sampled peripheral blood samples of 9 CLL patients were subjected to single cell RNA sequencing before and at relapse after chemotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR); allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (RIC allo-HSCT); ibrutinib treatment, or before and after transformation to Richter's syndrome.
Project description:Transcriptome profiling of Acute Myeloid Leukemia samples. This dataset includes patients with diagnosis of de novo or secondary AML who experienced non-HLA loss disease relapse after allo-HCT, and for whom paired pre- and post-transplant viable leukemic samples were available.

Project description:Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of vedolizumab when added to background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen compared to placebo and background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen on intestinal aGvHD-free survival by Day +180 in subjects who receive allo-HSCT as treatment for a hematologic malignancy or myeloproliferative disorder.
Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is intestinal aGvHD-free survival by Day +180 after allo HSCT. Intestinal aGvHD is defined as Stage 1-4 intestinal involvement per Acute Graft versus-Host Disease Clinical Stage criteria.
