Loss of Mismatched HLA in Leukemia after Stem-Cell Transplantation

Five patients with acute myelogenous leukemia received hematopoietic stem-cell transplants from a haploidentical donor. They also received T cells from the donor. All five patients had a relapse, and at the time of relapse, genomic HLA typing of leukemic blasts could not detect the recipient's...

Shrnutí:Five patients with acute myelogenous leukemia received hematopoietic stem-cell transplants from a haploidentical donor. They also received T cells from the donor. All five patients had a relapse, and at the time of relapse, genomic HLA typing of leukemic blasts could not detect the recipient's HLA haplotype that differed from the donor's. The loss of the haplotype was due to uniparental disomy. In vitro, the donor's T cells reacted against leukemic blasts obtained at the time of diagnosis, not against blasts obtained at relapse. The results indicate the presence of a mutation that allowed the leukemic cells to escape the immunosurveillance of the donor's T cells. Five patients with acute myelogenous leukemia received hematopoietic stem-cell transplants from a haploidentical donor. They also received T cells from the donor. All five patients had a relapse, and at the time of relapse, genomic HLA typing of leukemic blasts could not detect the recipient's HLA haplotype that differed from the donor's. Transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells from a haploidentical family donor who shares only one HLA haplotype with the recipient is a potentially curative option for patients with high-risk hematologic cancers who lack an HLA-matched donor. 1 – 3 The major limitation of this strategy is the risk of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which can result from alloreactions mediated by donor T cells against the recipient's unshared HLA haplotype. Since the publication of studies on extensively T-cell–depleted grafts, 1 , 2 a variety of strategies have been developed to prevent or control GVHD after transfer of haploidentical T cells. 4 , 5 The feasibility and efficacy of . . .
