Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are an ideal source for the treatment of many hematological diseases and malignancies, as well as diseases of other systems, because of their two important features, self-renewal and multipotential differentiation, which have the ability to rebuild the blood system and immune system of the body. However, so far, the insufficient number of available HSCs, whether from bone marrow (BM), mobilized peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood, is still the main restricting factor for the clinical application. Therefore, strategies to expand HSCs numbers and maintain HSCs functions through ex vivo culture are urgently required. In this review, we outline the basic biology characteristics of HSCs, and focus on the regulatory factors in BM niche affecting the functions of HSCs. Then, we introduce several representative strategies used for HSCs from these three sources ex vivo expansion associated with BM niche. These findings have deepened our understanding of the mechanisms by which HSCs balance self-renewal and differentiation and provided a theoretical basis for the efficient clinical HSCs expansion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be curative for children with difficult-to-treat leukemia. The conditioning regimen utilized is known to influence outcomes. We report outcomes of the conditioning regimen used at the Alberta Children's Hospital, consisting of busulfan (with pharmacokinetic target of 3750 μmol*min/L/day ±10%) for 4 days, higher dose (250 mg/m2 ) fludarabine and 400 centigray (cGy) of total body irradiation. PROCEDURE This retrospective study involved children receiving transplant for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It compared children who fell within the target range for busulfan with those who were either not measured or were measured and fell outside this range. All other treatment factors were identical. RESULTS Twenty-nine children (17 within target) were evaluated. All subjects engrafted neutrophils with a median [interquartile range] time of 14 days [8-30 days]. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was 44.8% [95% confidence interval, CI: 35.6%-54.0%], while chronic graft-versus-host disease was noted in 16.0% [95% CI: 8.7%-23.3%]. At 2 years, the overall survival was 78.1% [95% CI: 70.8%-86.4%] and event-free survival was 74.7% [95% CI: 66.4%-83.0%]. Cumulative incidence of relapse was 11.3% [95% CI: 5.1%-17.5%]. There were no statistically significant differences in between the group that received targeted busulfan compared with the untargeted group. CONCLUSION Our conditioning regiment for children with ALL resulted in outcomes comparable to standard treatment with acceptable toxicities and significant reduction in radiation dose. Targeting busulfan dose in this cohort did not result in improved outcomes.

Abstract
Urine-derived stem cells (USCs) are a promising source of stem cells for cell therapy, renal toxicity drug testing, and renal disease biomarker discovery. Patients' own USCs can be used for precision medicine. In this review we first describe the isolation and characterization of USCs. We then discuss preclinical studies investigating the use of USCs in cell therapy, exploring the utility of USCs and USC-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (u-iPSCs) in drug toxicity testing, and investigating the use of USCs as biomarkers for renal disease diagnosis. Finally, we discuss the challenges of using USCs in these applications and provide insights into future research directions. USCs are a promising tool for advancing renal therapy, drug testing, and biomarker discovery. Further research is needed to explore their potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Since the standardization of CD34 measurement by flow cytometry, predictors of leukapheresis CD34 yield have played a pivotal role in planning donor leukaphereses. We describe here a single institution's experience with a multivariate predictor that was used for 2,929 products without alteration for 20 years. METHODS The ordinary least squares regression model variables included log peripheral CD34 count, collection duration (3- versus 4-hours), collection number, donor sex, and transplant type. RESULTS During the study period we changed flow cytometers twice and leukapheresis instruments once. During the Cobe Spectra era the predictor explained 90% of the variability in CD34 collection yield for autologous transplants (r2 = 0.90), and 70% for allogeneic transplants with an overall sensitivity to predict a CD34 yield of ≥ 1 × 106/kg of 97.7%, and specificity of 81.4%. CONCLUSIONS Implemented prospectively with real-time result reporting, the model allowed us to predict CD34 yield with both 3- and 4-hour collection scenarios. Given this guidance, 3-hour collections were selected by the clinical team 25% of the time, saving patient leukapheresis time and resources. When faced with a prediction of < 1 × 106 CD34/kg, the clinical team chose to defer collection 72% of the time. In instances where leukapheresis was performed despite a poor predicted outcome, 85% of patients collected on the Cobe Spectra, and 92% of patients collected on the Optia, failed to collect at least 1 × 106 CD34/kg. A revised model is tested retrospectively on Optia data, and suggestions for further improvements are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The quality and quantity of hematopoietic stem cells in apheresis products are essential to the success of peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (PB-HSCT). While the flow cytometry measurement of CD34+ cells as a golden standard for stem cell count is labor and cost-intensive, hematopoietic progenitor cell number evaluated by XN Sysmex series automated hematology analyzers (XN-HPC) is suggested as a surrogate marker. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the correlation and consistency of XN-HPC and CD34+ cell count in apheresis samples from both allogeneic donors and autologous patients during PB-HSCT. RESULTS Good correlation and consistency were observed between XN-HPC and CD34+ cell counts in harvests collected from healthy donors (R = .852) rather than autologous patients (R = .375). Subgroup analysis showed that the correlation was especially poor when autologous patients used plerixafor as an additional mobilizer or were diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM). In the setting of allogeneic transplantation, the correlation coefficients were even better in samples from non-first-round apheresis (R = .951), with high white blood cell (WBC) counts (R = .941), or having successful engraftment within 2 weeks (R = .895). ROC analysis suggested that an optimal XN-HPC count of 1127 × 106 /L best predicted a sufficient yield of CD34+ stem cells, with diagnostic sensitivity and specificity being 92% and 72%, respectively (AUC = 0.852). CONCLUSIONS XN-HPC is a sufficient quantitative marker for stem cell assessment of harvest yield in allogeneic but not autologous HSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS This study aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of stem cell selection between bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) in unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for hematological malignancies. Our objective was to identify specific factors associated with better transplant outcomes. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from the Japanese HSCT registry. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 0-70 years who underwent their first unrelated HSCT with BM or PB, with an 8/8 or 7/8 allele HLA match for hematological malignancies between 2010 and 2020. RESULTS Among 10 295 patients, no significant difference was observed in overall survival, relapse, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) or non-relapse mortality between the groups. Patients who received PB showed no clear difference in acute GVHD but had a greater rate of chronic GVHD, resulting in poor chronic GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (CRFS). Subgroup analyses highlighted the importance of patient-specific factors in source selection. Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and a greater hematopoietic cell transplantation-comorbidity index showed better CRFS and GRFS when BM was the preferred source. Similar trends were observed among patients with standard-risk disease for CRFS. However, no such trends were evident among patients aged 0-24 years, indicating that both sources are viable choices for young patients. CONCLUSIONS This real-world retrospective analysis showed similar basic outcomes for BM and PB in an unrelated setting. The results support that BM may still be preferred over PB, especially when the long-term quality of life is a major concern. A consideration of individual factors can further optimize transplant success. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term implications of stem cell source selection.

Abstract
Although graft T cells assist in engraftment, mediate antiviral immune-reconstitution, and cause graft-versus-host disease, graft size is not determined by T-cell content of the graft. The conventional method of graft size determination based on CD34+ cells with alemtuzumab serotherapy is associated with delayed immune reconstitution, contributing to an increased risk of viral infections and graft failure. Alemtuzumab, a long half-life anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody is a robust T-cell depleting serotherapy, and relatively spares memory-effector T cells compared to naïve T cells. We therefore hypothesized that graft size based on T-cell content in patients receiving peripheral blood stem cell graft with alemtuzumab serotherapy would facilitate immune-reconstitution without increasing the risk of graft-versus-host disease. We retrospectively analysed twenty-six consecutive patients with non-malignant disorders grafted using alemtuzumab serotherapy and capping of graft T cells to a maximum of 600 million/kg. The graft T-cell capping protocol resulted in early immune-reconstitution without increasing the risk of severe graft-versus-host disease. Graft T-cell content correlated with CD4+ T-cell reconstitution and acute graft-versus-host disease. The course of CMV viraemia was predictable without recurrence and associated with early T-cell recovery. No patient developed chronic graft-versus-host disease. Overall survival at one year was 100% and disease-free survival was 96% at a median of 899 days (range: 243-1562). Graft size determined by peripheral blood stem cell graft T-cell content in patients receiving alemtuzumab serotherapy for non-malignant disorders is safe and leads to early T-cell immune-reconstitution with excellent survival outcomes.

Abstract
Somatic stem cells have been obtained from solid organs and tissues, including the bone marrow, placenta, corneal stroma, periosteum, adipose tissue, dental pulp and skeletal muscle. These solid tissue-derived stem cells are often used for tissue repair, disease modelling and new drug development. In the past two decades, stem cells have also been identified in various body fluids, including urine, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, synovial fluid, breastmilk and menstrual blood. These body fluid-derived stem cells (BFSCs) have stemness properties comparable to those of other adult stem cells and, similarly to tissue-derived stem cells, show cell surface markers, multi-differentiation potential and immunomodulatory effects. However, BFSCs are more easily accessible through non-invasive or minimally invasive approaches than solid tissue-derived stem cells and can be isolated without enzymatic tissue digestion. Additionally, BFSCs have shown good versatility in repairing genitourinary abnormalities in preclinical models through direct differentiation or paracrine mechanisms such as pro-angiogenic, anti-apoptotic, antifibrotic, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, optimization of protocols is needed to improve the efficacy and safety of BFSC therapy before therapeutic translation.

Abstract
Background: Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy for hematologic malignancies and serious non-malignant blood disorders. Despite its curative potential, HCT is associated with substantial toxicity and health resource utilization. Effective delivery of HCT requires complex hospital-based care, which limits the number of HCT centres in Canada. In Canada, the quantity, indications, temporal trends, and outcomes of patients receiving HCT are not known. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of first transplants reported to the Cell Therapy Transplant Canada (CTTC) registry between 2000 and 2019. We determined overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM), categorizing the cohort into early (2000-2009) and later (2010-2019) eras to investigate temporal changes. Results: Of 18,046 transplants, 7571 were allogeneic and 10,475 were autologous. Comparing the two eras, allogeneic transplants increased in number by 22.3%, with greater use of matched unrelated donors in the later era. Autologous transplants increased by 10.9%. Temporal improvements in NRM were observed in children and adults. OS improved in pediatric patients and in adults receiving autologous HCT. In adults receiving allogeneic HCT, OS was stable despite the substantially older age of patients in the later era. Interpretation: HCT is an increasingly frequent procedure in Canada which has expanded to serve older adults. Noted improvements in NRM and OS reflect progress in patient and donor selection, preparation for transplant, and post-transplant supportive care. In allogeneic HCT, unrelated donors have become the most frequent donor source, highlighting the importance of the continued growth of volunteer donor registries. These results serve as a baseline measure for quality improvement and health services planning in Canada.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to develop and validate the Unrelated Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Donation Questionnaire (UPBSC-DQ) (an instrument in Chinese) to assess the degree of cognition, attitude and intention of enrolled volunteers towards UPBSC donation. Methods The development process of the UPBSC-DQ was performed in a stepwise approach that included extensive literature retrieval, expert revision, and pretesting with 442 students. We conducted an online cross-sectional survey using the final version of the UPBSC-DQ among 336 participants. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by Cronbach's α and corrected item-total correlation (CITC), and the validity was evaluated by a correlation coefficient matrix, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and t-test. Results The UPBSC-DQ consists of four domains: basic information, cognitive, attitude, and intention. The Cronbach's α values were 0.88 and 0.86 for the attitude and intention scales, respectively, indicating strong internal consistency and good reliability. Correlation analysis and CFA showed good structure and content validity. Interitem correlations indicated that each item had only a weak correlation with the other scales. Conclusions The UPBSC-DQ is a reliable and valid assessment questionnaire for individuals' attitudes and intentions towards UPBSC donation. The questionnaire showed good to high reliability, content and construct validity.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) is widely used in the treatment of patients with hematological neoplasms. Since these cells circulate in small quantities in the periphery, the use of regimens that promote their mobilization is essential. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of using intermediate doses of cytarabine (1.6 g/m²) + filgrastim (10 mcg/kg/day) in the mobilization of stem cells in 157 patients treated by the Unified Health System at the Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant Service of the Hospital Real Português de Beneficência, in Recife, Pernambuco. The sample included patients with multiple myeloma (MM) (58.6 %), lymphomas (29.9 %), and other neoplasms (11.5 %). The target of 2.0 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg was achieved by 148 (94.3 %) patients, in most cases (84.1 %) in a single apheresis and the median number of cells collected was 9.5 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg. No episode of febrile neutropenia was observed, however, 79 patients (50.3 %) required platelet transfusion (no cases attributed to bleeding). The median engraftment time was 11 days. Given these results, we suggest that the use of intermediate doses of cytarabine, combined with filgrastim, is safe and effective in mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).

Abstract
This study aimed to summarize the experience of precise nursing in 6 patients who experienced failed allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (allo-HSCTs) that underwent second allo-HSCT salvage treatment. The key points of nursing care included strictly implementing infection prevention and control measures to prevent secondary infections, precise symptom management to improve the graft survival rate of patients, formulating reasonable nutrition programs to meet their requirements, and paying attention to the psychological care of patients to enhance their self-confidence in overcoming diseases. The patients developed different degrees of complications in the process of transplantation. During the transplantation, 2 patients had oral mucositis, 2 had hemorrhagic cystitis, 3 had a perianal infection, and one had lower gastrointestinal bleeding. After careful treatment and nursing, the neutrophils transplanted in the 6 patients were alive at a median of 16.5 (13-20) days after the second allo-HSCT, and the patients were successfully transferred out of the laminar flow chamber.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusions represent common medical procedures, which provide essential supportive therapy. However, these procedures are notoriously expensive for healthcare services and not without risk. The potential threat of transfusion-related complications, such as the development of pathogenic infections and the occurring of alloimmunization events, alongside the donor's dependence, strongly limits the availability of transfusion units and represents significant concerns in transfusion medicine. Moreover, a further increase in the demand for donated blood and blood transfusion, combined with a reduction in blood donors, is expected as a consequence of the decrease in birth rates and increase in life expectancy in industrialized countries. MAIN BODY An emerging and alternative strategy preferred over blood transfusion is the in vitro production of blood cells from immortalized erythroid cells. The high survival capacity alongside the stable and longest proliferation time of immortalized erythroid cells could allow the generation of a large number of cells over time, which are able to differentiate into blood cells. However, a large-scale, cost-effective production of blood cells is not yet a routine clinical procedure, as being dependent on the optimization of culture conditions of immortalized erythroid cells. CONCLUSION In our review, we provide an overview of the most recent erythroid cell immortalization approaches, while also describing and discussing related advancements of establishing immortalized erythroid cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS In a previous pilot study of HLA-matched sibling donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), the authors determined the feasibility of day 4 versus day 5 granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection compared with a historical cohort. Given identified differences in the PBSC product (day 4 cohort with significantly lower infused total nucleated, mononuclear and CD3 cells compared with other collection cohorts), the authors performed a follow-up study to determine long-term post-HCT outcomes, including detailed characterization of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). METHODS This was a prospective observational study, and the authors collected data on chronic GVHD, staging, sites of involvement and treatments. Performance status, incidence of relapse, overall survival and duration of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) were also evaluated. Data were examined retrospectively. To account for differences in length of follow-up among cohorts, the authors also determined performance status and chronic GVHD staging, sites and treatment at 2 years post-HCT. RESULTS At 2 years post-HCT, the overall survival rate was 71.7% in the day 4 cohort compared with 61.5%, 52% and 56% in the day 5, 2-day and historical cohorts, respectively (P = 0.283). The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 65.2% in the day 4 cohort versus 46.4% in the day 5 cohort, 51.1% in the 2-day cohort and 65% in the historical cohort (P = 0.26). There was no significant difference in the maximum overall stage of chronic GVHD (P = 0.513), median number of sites involved (P = 0.401) or cumulative incidence of discontinuation of IST (P = 0.32). Death from chronic GVHD was less common in the day 4 and day 5 cohorts compared with the 2-day and historical cohorts, though this did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS The authors' preliminary results demonstrated that collection of allogeneic matched sibling donor PBSCs on day 4 of G-CSF was feasible, reduced donor exposure to growth factor and was associated with an initial cost savings. Importantly, the authors now demonstrate that transplantation of day 4 mobilized PBSCs is not associated with any adverse outcomes post-HCT, including late effects such as chronic GVHD. Further investigation of donor G-CSF collection algorithms is merited in other HCT settings, including unrelated and mismatched related donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly influenced unrelated donor (UD) allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections. Changes included efforts to minimize COVID-19 exposure to donors and cryopreservation of products. The extent to which the efficacy and safety of PBSC donations were affected by the pandemic is unknown. METHODS Prospective cohort analysis of PBSC collections comparing pre-pandemic (01 April 2019-14 March 2020) and pandemic (15 March 2020-31 March 2022) eras. RESULTS Of a total of 291 PBSC collections, cryopreservation was undertaken in 71.4% of pandemic donations compared to 1.1% pre-pandemic. The mean requested CD34+ cell dose/kg increased from 4.9 ± 0.2 × 106 pre-pandemic to 5.4 ± 0.1 × 106 during the pandemic. Despite this increased demand, the proportion of collections that met or exceeded the requested cell dose did not change, and the mean CD34+ cell doses collected (8.9 ± 0.5 × 106 pre-pandemic vs. 9.7 ± 0.4 × 106 during the pandemic) remained above requested targets. Central-line placements were more frequent, and severe adverse events in donors increased during the pandemic. CONCLUSION Cryopreservation of UD PBSC products increased during the pandemic. In association with this, requested cell doses for PBSC collections increased. Collection targets were met or exceeded at the same frequency, signaling high donor and collection center commitment. This was at the expense of increased donor or product-related severe adverse events. We highlight the need for heightened vigilance about donor safety as demands on donors have increased since the pandemic.

Abstract
The NCG triple immunodeficient mice on a NOD/Nju background lack functional/mature T, B, and NK cells, and have reduced macrophage and dendritic cell function. This study characterized the NCG mouse model for toxicity, engraftment and tumorigenicity assessments of cell therapies, using CD34+ hHSPC adult mobilized cells with two myeloablation regimens.Mice received sub-lethal irradiation or busulfan and were then injected intravenously with CD34+ hHSPCs (1.0 x 106 cells/mouse) or PBS (control), while positive control animals received 2 x 106 HL-60 cells/mouse. hCD34+ cell donors were treated with the mobilizing agent G-CSF prior to leukapheresis. Following injections, mouse blood samples were collected to assess engraftment rates by flow cytometry with body weights recorded periodically up to 20 weeks post-cell injection. No significant clinical signs or body weight changes were observed. At week 10 post-cell injection, the peripheral blood chimerism of hCD45+ cells was above 20%. While mCD45+ concentration was constant between week 10 and 17 in whole blood samples, hCD45+ concentration and chimerism slightly decreased at week 17. However, chimerism remained above 10%, with busulfan-treated mice presenting higher values. Chimerism was further assessed by quantifying human Alu sequences in blood and multiple organs using qPCR. Alu sequences were most abundant in the spleen and bone marrow, while lowest in the testes. In the positive control group, expected mortalities due to tumorigenesis were observed between days 27 and 40 post-cell injection. Overall, study results may be used to inform study design and potential toxicological endpoints relevant to non-clinical cell therapy development.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a severe hematopoietic stem cell transplantation complication with high mortality and a poor patient prognosis. The pathogenesis of TA-TMA is not yet clear. In previous studies, the conclusions of different centers remain controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of nine selected risk factors that might be associated with the onset of TA-TMA. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed databases were searched from their inception up to 15 September 2021, for relevant studies. The articles included unprocessed data related to one or more of the risk factors discussed in this meta-analysis, including recipient gender, donor type, graft source, pretreatment, infection, aGVHD, diagnosis, total body irradiation (TBI), and CMV infection. The outcome is the incidence rate (IR) of TA-TMA. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS According to the sixteen articles included, risk factors included in this Meta-analysis included gender, unrelated donor source (95% CI: 1.29-2.01), graft source from peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC)(95% CI: 0.48-0.97), RIC/NMA, class II-IV aGVHD (95% CI: 2.22-4.78), nonmalignant disease, TBI. However, inconsistent diagnostic criteria for TA-TMA and the limited number of studies have an impact on the results of the study. More prospective cohort studies and More accurate diagnostic criteria are needed.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication that occurs following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for the treatment of haematological cancers and other blood-related disorders. GVHD is an inflammatory disorder, where the transplanted donor immune cells can mediate an immune response against the recipient and attack host tissues. Despite over 60 years of research, broad-range immune suppression is still used to prevent or treat GVHD, leading to an increased risk of cancer relapse and infection. Therefore, further insights into the disease mechanisms and development of predictive and prognostic biomarkers are key to improving outcomes and reducing GVHD development following allogeneic HSCT. An important preclinical tool to examine the pathophysiology of GVHD and to understand the key mechanisms that lead to GVHD development are preclinical humanised mouse models. Such models of GVHD are now well-established and can provide valuable insights into disease development. This review will focus on models where human peripheral blood mononuclear cells are injected into immune-deficient non-obese diabetic (NOD)-scid-interleukin-2(IL-2)Rγ mutant (NOD-scid-IL2Rγnull) mice. Humanised mouse models of GVHD can mimic the clinical setting for GVHD development, with disease progression and tissues impacted like that observed in humans. This review will highlight key findings from preclinical humanised mouse models regarding the role of donor human immune cells, the function of cytokines and cell signalling molecules and their impact on specific target tissues and GVHD development. Further, specific therapeutic strategies tested in these preclinical models reveal key molecular pathways important in reducing the burden of GVHD following allogeneic HSCT.

Abstract
The need for prospective randomized clinical trials investigating novel graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prevention strategies that include other clinical outcomes impacted by GVHD has been highlighted as a priority for the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation. A recently completed study through the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN 1301) comparing CD34+ selection and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide with tacrolimus/methotrexate (Tac/MTX) for GVHD prevention demonstrated no significant differences in the primary endpoint of chronic GVHD relapse-free survival among the 3 approaches. The trial did not demonstrate a superior approach compared with Tac/MTX; however, it did highlight several challenges in determining the best and most relevant approaches to clinical trial design, particularly in the context of current and ongoing changes in real-world practices. Here we review the results of BMT CTN 1301 and their implications for clinical practice and future clinical trial design.

Abstract
Background Efficient mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from bone marrow niche into circulation is the key to successful collection and transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies. The efficacy of various HSCs mobilization regimens has been widely investigated, but the results are inconsistent. Methods We performed comprehensive databases searching for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that comparing the efficacy of HSCs mobilization regimens in patients with hematological malignancies. Bayesian network meta-analyses were performed with WinBUGS. Standard dose of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF SD) was chosen as the common comparator. Estimates of relative treatment effects for other regimens were reported as mean differences (MD) or odds ratio (OR) with associated 95% credibility interval (95% CrI). The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) were obtained to present rank probabilities of all included regimens. Results Databases searching and study selection identified 44 eligible RCTs, of which the mobilization results are summarized. Then we compared the efficacy of mobilization regimens separately for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) by including 13 eligible trials for network meta-analysis, involving 638 patients with MM and 592 patients with NHL. For patients with MM, data are pooled from 8 trials for 6 regimens, including G-CSF in standard dose (SD) or reduced dose (RD) combined with cyclophosphamide (CY), intermediate-dose cytarabine (ID-AraC) or plerixafor. The results show that compared with G-CSF SD alone, 3 regimens including ID-AraC + G-CSF SD (MD 14.29, 95% CrI 9.99–18.53; SUCRA 1.00), G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD (MD 4.15, 95% CrI 2.92–5.39; SUCRA 0.80), and CY + G-CSF RD (MD 1.18, 95% CrI 0.29–2.07; SUCRA 0.60) are associated with significantly increased total number of collected CD34+ cells (× 106/kg), among which ID-AraC + G-CSF SD ranked first with a probability of being best regimen of 100%. Moreover, ID-AraC + G-CSF SD and G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD are associated with significantly higher successful rate of achieving optimal target (collecting ≥ 4–6 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg). For patients with NHL, data are pooled from 5 trials for 4 regimens, the results show that compared with G-CSF SD alone, G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD (MD 3.62, 95% CrI 2.86–4.38; SUCRA 0.81) and G-CSF SD plus the new CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR-4) antagonist YF-H-2015005 (MD 3.43, 95% CrI 2.51–4.35; SUCRA 0.69) are associated with significantly higher number of total CD34+ cells collected. These 2 regimens are also associated with significantly higher successful rate of achieving optimal target. There are no significant differences in rate of achieving optimal target between G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD and G-CSF + YF-H-2015005. Conclusions In conclusion, ID-AraC plus G-CSF is associated with the highest probability of being best mobilization regimen in patients with MM. For patients with NHL, G-CSF in combination with plerixafor or YF-H-2015005 showed similar improvements in HSCs mobilization efficacy. The relative effects of other chemotherapy-based mobilization regimens still require to be determined with further investigations.

Abstract
Cell therapy practices date back to the 19th century and continue to expand on investigational and investment grounds. Cell therapy includes stem cell- and non-stem cell-based, unicellular and multicellular therapies, with different immunophenotypic profiles, isolation techniques, mechanisms of action, and regulatory levels. Following the steps of their predecessor cell therapies that have become established or commercialized, investigational and premarket approval-exempt cell therapies continue to provide patients with promising therapeutic benefits in different disease areas. In this review article, we delineate the vast types of cell therapy, including stem cell-based and non-stem cell-based cell therapies, and create the first-in-literature compilation of the different "multicellular" therapies used in clinical settings. Besides providing the nuts and bolts of FDA policies regulating their use, we discuss the benefits of cell therapies reported in 3 therapeutic areas-regenerative medicine, immune diseases, and cancer. Finally, we contemplate the recent attention shift toward combined therapy approaches, highlighting the factors that render multicellular therapies a more attractive option than their unicellular counterparts.

Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a potentially serious complication that occurs following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), in which B cells transformed by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) proliferate uncontrollably. It is unknown whether risk factors for the incidence of PTLD are identical to those for mortality due to PTLD, a clinically more important outcome. We sought to determine the risk factors influencing the incidence of PTLD and those influencing mortality due to PTLD in a cohort of 1184 allogenic HCT recipients. All patients were predisposed to PTLD, because their graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis included antithymocyte globulin. The overall PTLD incidence was 9.0%, and mortality due to PTLD was 1.1%. In multivariate analysis, risk factors for PTLD incidence include donor+/recipient- (D+/R-) EBV serostatus (subhazard ratio [SHR], 3.3; P = .002), use of a donor other than an HLA-matched sibling donor (non-MSD) (SHR, 1.7; P = .029), receipt of total body irradiation (TBI; SHR, 3.3; P = .008), and the absence of GVHD (SHR, 3.3; P < .001). The sole risk factor for mortality due to PTLD among all patients was D+/R- serostatus (SHR, 5.8; P = .022). Risk factors for mortality due to PTLD among patients who developed PTLD were use of a bone marrow (BM) graft (compared with peripheral blood stem cells [PBSCs]; SHR, 22.8; P < .001) and extralymphatic involvement (SHR, 14.6; P < .001). Interestingly, whereas the absence of GVHD was a risk factor for PTLD incidence, there was a trend toward the presence of GVHD as a risk factor for PTLD mortality (SHR, 4.2; P = .093). Likewise, whereas use of a BM graft was a risk factor for PTLD mortality, there was a trend toward use of a PBSC graft as a risk factor for PTLD incidence (SHR, 0.44; P = .179). Some risk factors for the incidence of PTLD are identical to the risk factors for mortality due to PTLD (ie, D+/R- serostatus), whereas other risk factors are disparate. Specifically, TBI was identified as a risk factor for PTLD incidence but not for PTLD mortality; the absence of GVHD was a risk factor for PTLD incidence, whereas the presence of GVHD was possibly a risk factor for PTLD mortality; and receipt of a PBSC graft was possibly a risk factor for PTLD incidence, whereas receipt of a BM graft was a risk factor for PTLD mortality.

Abstract
Excessive bone resorption has been recognized play a major role in the development of bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease of bone, and cancer. Phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ) family members PLCγ1 and PLCγ2 are critical regulators of signaling pathways downstream of growth factor receptors, integrins, and immune complexes and play a crucial role in osteoclast. Ca2+ signaling has been recognized as an essential pathway to the differentiation of osteoclasts. With growing attention and research about natural occurring compounds, the therapeutic use of natural active plant-derived products has been widely recognized in recent years. In this review, we summarized the recent research on PLCγ signaling in bone marrow stem cells and the use of several natural compounds that were proven to inhibit RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis via modulating PLCγ signaling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation is a key treatment option for hematological diseases and is widely performed in clinical practice. Platelet loss is one of the major complications of PBSC apheresis, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) return is considered in case of platelet decrease following apheresis; however, little is known about the frequency and severity of platelet loss and the efficacy of PRP return postapheresis. METHODS We assessed changes in platelet counts following PBSC-related apheresis in 270 allogeneic (allo)- and 105 autologous (auto)-PBSC settings. We also evaluated the efficacy of PRP transfusion on platelet recovery postapheresis. RESULTS In both allo- and auto-PBSC settings, the preapheresis platelet count (range, 84-385 and 33-558 × 109 /L, respectively) decreased postapheresis (range, 57-292 and 20-429 × 109 /L, respectively), whereas severe platelet decrease (<50 × 109 /L) was only observed in auto-PBSC patients (n = 9). We confirmed that platelet count before apheresis was a risk factor for severe platelet decrease (<50 × 109 /L) following auto-PBSC apheresis (odds ratio 0.749, P < .049). PRP return postapheresis facilitated platelet recovery in more than 80% of cases in both allo and auto settings. CONCLUSION Lower platelet count preapheresis is a useful predictor of severe platelet decrease following auto-PBSC apheresis and PRP return is an effective process to facilitate platelet recovery postapheresis.

Comparison of the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization regimens: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of preclinical studies. Stem Cell Res Ther 2021; 12:310. [PMID: 34051862 PMCID: PMC8164253 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-021-02379-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mobilization failure may occur when the conventional hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) mobilization agent granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is used alone, new regimens were developed to improve mobilization efficacy. Multiple studies have been performed to investigate the efficacy of these regimens via animal models, but the results are inconsistent. We aim to compare the efficacy of different HSC mobilization regimens and identify new promising regimens with a network meta-analysis of preclinical studies. METHODS We searched Medline and Embase databases for the eligible animal studies that compared the efficacy of different HSC mobilization regimens. Primary outcome is the number of total colony-forming cells (CFCs) in per milliliter of peripheral blood (/ml PB), and the secondary outcome is the number of Lin- Sca1+ Kit+ (LSK) cells/ml PB. Bayesian network meta-analyses were performed following the guidelines of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Decision Support Unit (NICE DSU) with WinBUGS version 1.4.3. G-CSF-based regimens were classified into the SD (standard dose, 200-250 μg/kg/day) group and the LD (low dose, 100-150 μg/kg/day) group based on doses, and were classified into the short-term (2-3 days) group and the long-term (4-5 days) group based on administration duration. Long-term SD G-CSF was chosen as the reference treatment. Results are presented as the mean differences (MD) with the associated 95% credibility interval (95% CrI) for each regimen. RESULTS We included 95 eligible studies and reviewed the efficacy of 94 mobilization agents. Then 21 studies using the poor mobilizer mice model (C57BL/6 mice) to investigate the efficacy of different mobilization regimens were included for network meta-analysis. Network meta-analyses indicated that compared with long-term SD G-CSF alone, 14 regimens including long-term SD G-CSF + Me6, long-term SD G-CSF + AMD3100 + EP80031, long-term SD G-CSF + AMD3100 + FG-4497, long-term SD G-CSF + ML141, long-term SD G-CSF + desipramine, AMD3100 + meloxicam, long-term SD G-CSF + reboxetine, AMD3100 + VPC01091, long-term SD G-CSF + FG-4497, Me6, long-term SD G-CSF + EP80031, POL5551, long-term SD G-CSF + AMD3100, AMD1300 + EP80031 and long-term LD G-CSF + meloxicam significantly increased the collections of total CFCs. G-CSF + Me6 ranked first among these regimens in consideration of the number of harvested CFCs/ml PB (MD 2168.0, 95% CrI 2062.0-2272.0). In addition, 7 regimens including long-term SD G-CSF + AMD3100, AMD3100 + EP80031, long-term SD G-CSF + EP80031, short-term SD G-CSF + AMD3100 + IL-33, long-term SD G-CSF + ML141, short-term LD G-CSF + ARL67156, and long-term LD G-CSF + meloxicam significantly increased the collections of LSK cells compared with G-CSF alone. Long-term SD G-CSF + AMD3100 ranked first among these regimens in consideration of the number of harvested LSK cells/ml PB (MD 2577.0, 95% CrI 2422.0-2733.0). CONCLUSIONS Considering the number of CFC and LSK cells in PB as outcomes, G-CSF plus AMD3100, Me6, EP80031, ML141, FG-4497, IL-33, ARL67156, meloxicam, desipramine, and reboxetine are all promising mobilizing regimens for future investigation.

Abstract
We compared outcomes among adult matched related donor (MRD) patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and adult patients undergoing double unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) at our center between 2010 and 2017. A total of 190 CBT patients were compared with 123 MRD patients. Median follow-up was 896 days (range, 169-3350) among surviving CBT patients and 1262 days (range, 249-3327) among surviving MRD patients. Comparing all CBT with all MRD patients, overall survival (OS) was comparable (P = .61) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) relapse-free survival (GRFS) was significantly improved among CBT patients (P = .0056), primarily because of decreased moderate to severe chronic GVHD following CBT (P < .0001; hazard ratio [HR], 3.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.26-7.04). Among patients undergoing our most commonly used MRD and umbilical cord blood (CB) myeloablative regimens, OS was comparable (P = .136) and GRFS was significantly improved among CBT patients (P = .006). Cumulative incidence of relapse trended toward decreased in the CBT group (P = .075; HR, 1.85; CI 0.94-3.67), whereas transplant-related mortality (TRM) was comparable (P = .55; HR, 0.75; CI, 0.29-1.95). Among patients undergoing our most commonly used nonmyeloablative regimens, OS and GRFS were comparable (P = .158 and P = .697). Cumulative incidence of both relapse and TRM were comparable (P = .32; HR, 1.35; CI, 0.75-2.5 for relapse and P = .14; HR, 0.482; CI, 0.18-1.23 for TRM). Our outcomes support the efficacy of CBT and suggest that among patients able to tolerate more intensive conditioning regimens at high risk for relapse, CB may be the preferred donor source.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nucleated cell yields of marrow harvests depend on factors related to donors, the procedure itself, and the volume of marrow harvested. Few attempts have been made to relate donor characteristics to harvest volume. We hypothesize that the percentage of total donor blood volume accessed for harvesting impacts the nucleated cell yield per ml of marrow collected. METHODS AND MATERIALS We investigated 481 consecutive unrelated marrow harvests from a single center. Donor characteristics including weight, body mass index (BMI), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin (Hgb), and platelet counts, as well as estimated total blood volume, were recorded and compared with nucleated cell yields and harvest volumes. RESULTS The percentage of donor blood volume accessed for marrow harvesting was inversely related to nucleated cell yields (r = -0.57). The donor-recipient weight differential impacted cell yields as well (r = 0.35), with heavier recipients requiring increased marrow volumes from smaller donors to satisfy their nucleated cell needs. 3.73 × 108 /kg of recipient weight could be collected with 95% certainty when harvest volumes did not exceed 16.1% of donor total blood volume. In a stepwise multiple regression analysis, 45.4% of cell yield variance was explained by blood volume percentage accessed for harvesting, donor weight, and WBC. Donor sex, BMI, and platelet counts did not contribute further to cell yield variance. Smokers had higher cell yields than nonsmokers (20.4 vs. 18.3 × 106 /ml; 95% confidence interval 0.62, 3.47) independent of other parameters. CONCLUSION Establishing the relationship between percentage of estimated donor total blood volume and recipient cell needs can facilitate donor selection for successful hematopoietic cell (HPC) transplants.

Abstract
Adult stem cells (ASCs) were long suspected to exist in the endometrium. Indeed, several types of endometrial ASCs were identified in rodents and humans through diverse isolation and characterization techniques. Putative stromal and epithelial stem cell niches were identified in murine models using label-retention techniques. In humans, functional methods (clonogenicity, long-term culture, and multi-lineage differentiation assays) and stem cell markers (CD146, SUSD2/W5C5, LGR5, NTPDase2, SSEA-1, or N-cadherin) facilitated the identification of three main types of endogenous endometrial ASCs: stromal, epithelial progenitor, and endothelial stem cells. Further, exogenous populations of stem cells derived from bone marrow may act as key effectors of the endometrial ASC niche. These findings are promoting the development of stem cell therapies for endometrial pathologies, with an evolution towards paracrine approaches. At the same time, promising therapeutic alternatives based on bioengineering have been proposed.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic virus, whereby recipients are most susceptible following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). With the development of novel immunosuppressive agents and antiviral drugs, accompanied with the widespread application of prophylaxis and preemptive treatment, significant developments have been made in transplant recipients with human (H)CMV infection. However, HCMV remains an important cause of short- and long-term morbidity and mortality in transplant recipients. The present review summarizes the molecular mechanism and risk factors of HCMV reactivation following allo-HSCT, the diagnosis of CMV infection following allo-HSCT, prophylaxis and treatment of HCMV infection, and future perspectives. All relevant literature were retrieved from PubMed and have been reviewed.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of producing safe hematopoietic stem cells without
the use of viral infectious agents that can be used in stem cell transplantation.
Materials and Methods In this experimental study, after single layer cell formation, human primary fibroblast cells were
treated with static electromagnetic fields of 10 and 15 milli Tesla (mT) for 20 minutes each day for seven consecutive
days. On the seventh day and immediately after the last radiation, the cells were added to the wells containing specific
hematopoietic stem cell expansion media. After 21 days and colony formation, the cells belonging to each group were
evaluated in terms of the expression of CD34, CD38, and GATA-1 genes using quantitative real-time polymerase chain
reaction (PCR), as well as surface marker expression of CD34 by flow cytometry.
Results Exposure to 10 mT and 15 mT electromagnetic field increased the expression of CD34 and CD38 genes
(P<0.05). This increase in gene expression levels were 2.85 and 1.84 folds, respectively, in the 10mT group and
6.36 and 3.81 folds, respectively, in the 15 mT group. The expression of the GATA-1 gene in the 10 mT and 15 mT
groups was not significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Electromagnetic waves caused a marked
increase in the expression of the CD34 marker at the surface of reprogrammed cells. The rate of expression was about
42.3% in the 15 mT group and 23.1% in the 10 mT group.
Conclusion The presence of human primary fibroblasts exposed to electromagnetic fields can increase the expression
of specific hematopoietic genes. This method can be suitable for reprogramming cells differentiated into hematopoietic-
like stem cells and does not pose the risks of retroviral use.
