1D1 was applied to the cGVHD-induced experimental lupus nephritis model, and our study found the production of ANA and anti-dsDNA in the 1D1-treated group was lower than those in IgG-treated group after four weeks.
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) induced in (C57BL/6 x DBA/2) F1 (BDF1) mice by the injection of DBA/2 mouse spleen cells represents histopathological changes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and Sjogren's syndrome (SS), as indicated by glomerulonephritis, lymphocyte infiltration into the periportal area of the liver and salivary glands.
Chronic GvHD-related keratoconjunctivitis sicca (cGvHD-related KCS) can significantly alter the quality of life of patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
TGF-beta1 mRNA expression and its serum concentration significantly increased on day +100 in patients who developed chronic GVHD as compared to the day of transplant (p<0.0009 and p<0.02, respectively).
DPB1 mismatch increased risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD; RR 2.89 [1.19-9.53], P=.016) compared with DPB1-matched transplants, but there were no differences in overall mortality, risk of relapse, or acute GVHD (aGVHD).
TP53 mutations also demonstrated impact on the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) (1 year CIR 47.1% vs. 9.8%, p = 0.006) and were related with complex karyotype (p = 0.003). cGVHD improved the outcome even among patients with more than 2 mutated genes (1-year OS 88.9% at 1 year vs. 31.3%, p = 0.02) and patients with TP53 mutations (1-year CIR 20% vs. 42.9%, p = 0.553).
A significant RR of HLA allele mismatch compared with match was seen with HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DPB1 for grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and HLA-C for chronic GVHD.
A significant RR of HLA allele mismatch compared with match was seen with HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DPB1 for grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and HLA-C for chronic GVHD.
A significant RR of HLA allele mismatch compared with match was seen with HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DPB1 for grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and HLA-C for chronic GVHD.
A univariate logistic regression model analysis showed that only acute graft-versus-host disease may be affected by recipient MiHAg-HA-1 disparity (p: 0.041, OR: 6.727), while chronic graft-versus-host disease correlates with both age and recipient/donor sex mismatch (p: 0.014, OR: 8.556 and p: 0.033, OR: 8.664, respectively).
Abatacept has been evaluated in the chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) mouse model (abatacept 1 mg/mL for 6 weeks), characterized by liver and intestinal fibrosis and in the Fra-2 mouse model (1 mg/mL or 10 mg/mL for 4 weeks), characterized by interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary vascular remodeling leading to PH.
Absolute counts and % of CD4+ T cells and Treg cells (CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 + CD127dim/-) were evaluated using flow cytometry in 32 patients with cGvHD treated by ECP for a minimum of 3 months, and up to 12 months.
Achievement of complete cytogenetic remission after two very low-dose donor leucocyte infusions in a patient with extensive cGVHD relapsing in accelerated phase post allogeneic BMT for CML.
All-<i>trans</i> retinoic acid (ATRA) increased <i>IRF4</i> expression, restored the <i>IRF4</i>-to-<i>IRF8</i> ratio, abrogated BCR-NOTCH hyperactivation, and reduced NOTCH2 expression in cGVHD B cells without compromising viability.
Although PADI4, which is the rheumatoid arthritis-specific related gene, was not associated with the occurrence of chronic GVHD, the recipient FCRL3-169C/C genotype was significantly less frequent in chronic GVHD patients than in those without chronic GVHD (P = 0.0086).
Although we have found a small number of low IL-6, a polymorphism at position -174 of the recipient and donor IL-6 gene was associated with the increased incidence of chronic GVHD.
