Bilirubin Nanoparticle As An Anti-Inflammatory Therapy For Graft Versus Host Disease
<p>Graft versus host disease (GvHD) caused by alloreactive donor lymphocytes is a fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Myeloablative conditioning regimen, consisting of chemotherapy and/or radiation, given prior to HSCT can cause tissue damage. This non-specific tissue …

THE DEVELOPMENT OF SELECTIVE PHOTOSENSITIZERS TO TARGET PATHOGENIC T CELLS AND PREVENT GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE
… disorders, including autoimmune and alloimmune diseases. In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, acute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is caused by an attack on the recipient's tissues from donor allogeneic T cells. In cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), malignant T cells migrate throughout …

Investigating The Role of Il-10 Producing Nkt Cells In Prevention of Graft Versus Host Disease
… healthy donor. This can lead to cure through the graft versus leukemia (GVL) effect but can also cause graft versus host disease (GVHD), which is characterized by systemic inflammation and organ damage mediated by dysregulated donor T cells. Preclinical studies have shown invariant natural killer …

Signaling pathways and novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of murine chronic graft versus host disease
… for hematological malignancies. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a long-term immune complication following aHSCT and a leading cause of non-relapse mortality. The standard of clinical management of broad immunosuppression by corticosteroids has been largely unchanged in …

Pathogenesis of Dry Eye in Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD): Role of Ocular Mucins and Conjunctival Fibrosis
… marrow transplantation’s major side effect i.e Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complex, multi-organ disease resulting from an immunological attack by donor engrafted immune cells to host organs, including the eye surface. Mostly based on the time of disease onset after transplantation, …

A Delineation of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapeutic Action in New Models of Acute and Chronic Graft versus Host Disease
… the treatment of inflammatory and auto-immune disease, and has already demonstrated beneficial effects during GvHD and Crohn’s disease. However, the mechanisms employed by MSC therapy to modulate disease progression have not been identified. The key goals for this thesis were (1) to determine …

The stimulatory role of ICOS in the development of CD146+CCR5+ T cells co-expressing IFN-γ and IL-17 during graft-versus-host disease
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains the major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), resulting from immunological attack on target organs such as gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver and skin from donor allogeneic T cells. The most common treatment for GVHD …

The role of HLA-G in bone marrow transplantation
… physiological immunotolerance of semi-allografts. In this context, we investigated the putative role of this molecule in the allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation setting. The percentage of HLA-G+ cells in peripheral blood of healthy donors and allo-transplanted patients was …

Role of Lymphocyte Populations Following Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation // Роля на лимфоцитните популации след алогенна трансплантация на хемопоетични стволови клетки
… associated with a number of complications – graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infectious complications (viral, bacterial, fungal), non-infectious complications (dysfunction of various organs and systems), and delayed or incomplete recovery of the immune system. Following allo-HSCT, immune …

Outcome of Severe Aplastic Anemia Treated with Immunosuppressive Therapy Compared with Bone Marrow Transplantation
… 6 patients developed grade II to III acute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and 3 patients developed chronic GVHD. The median survival time in all patients was 60.27 months, the 5-year survival rate was 61.0% in the IST group and 81.9%(p=0.144) in the BMT group. The factors influencing …

Il trapianto di midollo osseo aploidentico nelle patologie oncoematologiche: studio clinico
… Quattro pazienti su 7 hanno svillupato una Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) acuta di grado II-IV, mentre soltanto 1/7 ha sviluppato una GVHD cronica. Sette pazienti su 10 trapiantati hanno ottenuto una remissione completa successivamente al trapianto. Di questi, attualmente 2 pazienti sono …

Molecular Characterization of the Human Alloimmune Response
… in vitro proliferations translate in vivo into graft rejection of stem cell and solid organ transplants and to graft versus host disease (GvHD) in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplants. Defining the clonal T cell responses elicited in an MLR between two individuals is complicated by the …
