Article Abstract

Purpose: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains a curative option for acute leukemia. While an adequate CD34 cell dose is essential for engraftment, the optimal upper threshold in haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) remains unclear.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 81 patients with acute leukemia who underwent haplo-PBSCT with reduced-intensity conditioning between 2010 and 2020. Patients were stratified by CD34 cell dose (< 8 × 10/kg vs. ≥ 8 × 10/kg). Clinical outcomes, including overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), graft failure, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) incidence, were compared.

Results: A higher CD34 cell dose was associated with inferior OS (P = 0.022) and increased NRM (P = 0.002), despite similar rates of graft failure and acute GVHD. Chronic GVHD was more frequent in the higher dose group, though the difference was not statistically significant. Multivariate Cox analysis confirmed a high CD34 cell dose as an independent predictor of poor OS (HR 2.054, P = 0.031).

Conclusion: These findings suggest that excessively high doses may adversely affect survival by increasing transplant-related toxicity. Graft cell dose should be carefully balanced to optimize outcomes in haplo-PBSCT.

Background: Benzene, a ubiquitous industrial chemical, is a well-established environmental toxin associated with hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which are characterized by impaired hematopoiesis and bone marrow failure. This study investigates the role of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, in benzene-induced hematotoxicity, focusing on the repression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a critical regulator of ferroptosis.

Materials And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to benzene at various doses over six weeks.

Background: Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and mononuclear cells (MNCs) are critical components of cell-based therapies, including bone marrow transplantation and regenerative treatments. Evaluation of the characteristics of these products during collection, storage, and transport is essential for maintaining cell viability and functionality. In this study, we evaluated the functional and molecular stability of samples collected for the evaluation of fresh HPC and MNC products.

Hematopoietic multipotent progenitors (MPPs) regulate blood cell production to meet the evolving demands of an organism. Adult human MPPs remain ill defined, whereas mouse MPPs are well characterized, with distinct immunophenotypes and lineage potencies. Using multi-omic single-cell analyses and functional assays, we identified distinct human MPPs within Lin-CD34+CD38dim/lo adult bone marrow with unique biomolecular and functional properties.

Daratumumab combined with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (Dara-VTD) is a highly effective induction therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). However, its impact on stem cell mobilization requires a critical evaluation. This study examines the effects of Dara-VTD on stem cell mobilization and collection outcomes.
