Abstract
Introduction Chimerism is closely correlated with disease relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, chimerism rate is dynamic changes, and the sensitivity of different chimerism requires further research. Methods To investigate the predictive value of distinct chimerism for relapse, we measured bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood (PB), and T-cell (isolated from BM) chimerism in 178 patients after allo-HSCT. Results Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that T-cell chimerism was more suitable to predict relapse after allo-HSCT compared with PB and BM chimerism. The cutoff value of T-cell chimerism for predicting relapse was 99.45%. Leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) relapse patients' T-cell chimerism was a gradual decline from 2 months to 9 months after allo-HSCT. Higher risk of relapse and death within 1 year after allo-HSCT. The T-cell chimerism rates in remission and relapse patients were 99.43% and 94.28% at 3 months after allo-HSCT (P = 0.009), 99.31% and 95.27% at 6 months after allo-HSCT (P = 0.013), and 99.26% and 91.32% at 9 months after allo-HSCT (P = 0.024), respectively. There was a significant difference (P = 0.036) for T-cell chimerism between early relapse (relapse within 9 months after allo-HSCT) and late relapse (relapse after 9 months after allo-HSCT) at 2 months after allo-HSCT. Every 1% increase in T-cell chimerism, the hazard ratio for disease relapse was 0.967 (95% CI: 0.948-0.987, P<0.001). Discussion We recommend constant monitoring T-cell chimerism at 2, 3, 6, and 9 months after allo-HSCT to predict relapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the prognosis of Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) has improved with the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and stem cell transplantation, prevention of relapse after transplantation remains a concern. The aim of this study was to compare the impact of TKI prophylaxis with imatinib and dasatinib on long-term outcomes after transplantation. METHODS Patients with Ph+ ALL who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) at first complete remission (CR1) and received TKI prophylaxis after allo-HSCT were included in this retrospective analysis. Two cohorts were established based on the choice of TKI prophylaxis: the imatinib (Ima) and dasatinib (Das) cohorts. The survival and safety outcomes of these cohorts were compared. RESULTS Ninety-one patients in the Ima cohort and 50 in the Das cohort were included. After a median follow-up of 50.6 months, the 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse, nonrelapse mortality rate, and overall survival in the Ima and Das cohorts were 16.1% and 12.5%, 5.2% and 9.8%, and 86.5% and 77.6%, respectively, with no statistical differences. The cumulative incidence of mild chronic graft-versus-host disease was higher in the Das cohort. The most common adverse event was neutropenia (64.7% vs. 69.5%). The Das cohort had a higher incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding (25.5% vs. 2.3%) and gastrointestinal reaction (48.9% vs. 31.4%) than the Ima cohort. The proportion of patients treated on schedule was significantly lower in the Das cohort than in the Ima cohort, and drug intolerance was the main reason for protocol violation. CONCLUSIONS For patients with Ph+ ALL undergoing allo-HSCT in CR1, imatinib prophylaxis achieved long-term outcomes similar to those of dasatinib.

Abstract
Circular mRNA (cmRNA) is particular useful due to its high resistance to degradation by exonucleases, resulting in greater stability and protein expression compared to linear mRNA. T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells (TCR-T) represent a promising means of treating viral infections and cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of cmRNA in antigen-specific-TCR discovery and TCR-T therapy. Using human cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 antigen as a model, we found that the expansion of pp65-responsive T cells was induced more effectively by monocyte-derived dendritic cells transfected with pp65-encoding cmRNA compared with linear mRNA. Subsequently, we developed cmRNA-transduced pp65-TCR-T (cm-pp65-TCR-T) that specifically targets the CMV-pp65 epitope. Our results showed that pp65-TCR could be expressed on primary T cells for more than 7 days. Moreover, both in vitro killing and in vivo CDX models demonstrated that cm-pp65-TCR-T cells specifically and persistently kill pp65-and HLA-expressing tumor cells, significantly prolonging the survival of mice. Collectively, our results demonstrated that cmRNA can be used as a more effective technical approach for antigen-specific TCR isolation and identification, and cm-pp65-TCR-T may provide a safe, non-viral, non-integrated therapeutic approach for controlling CMV infection, particularly in patients who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
T cell therapy strategies, from allogeneic stem cell transplantation toward genetically-modified T cells infusion, develop powerful anti-tumor effects but are often accompanied by side effects and their efficacy remains sometimes to be improved. It therefore appears important to provide a flexible and easily reversible gene expression regulation system to control T cells activity. We developed a gene expression regulation technology that exploits the physiological GCN2-ATF4 pathway's ability to induce gene expression in T cells in response to one essential amino acid deficiency. We first demonstrated the functionality of NUTRIREG in human T cells by transient expression of reporter genes. We then validated that NUTRIREG can be used in human T cells to transiently express a therapeutic gene such as IL-10. Overall, our results represent a solid basis for the promising use of NUTRIREG to regulate transgene expression in human T cells in a reversible way, and more generally for numerous preventive or curative therapeutic possibilities in cellular immunotherapy strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the impact of early cyclosporin A (CsA) initiation (day -5) on the risk of acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). METHODS Sixty-seven leukaemia patients who underwent allo-HSCT were investigated. The correlation between the CsA level in the first four weeks and the following indices was examined: GvHD, cumulative incidence (CI) of GvHD, CI of relapse at month 18, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) at month 18. RESULTS A significant association between aGvHD and CsA level in the fourth week after allo-HSCT was observed, with the incidence of aGvHD in the fourth week in the lower level group being higher than that in the higher level group (p = 0.044). The CI of aGvHD was 30.1% and 9.8% at day +90 and 42.3% and 17.1% at day +180 in the lower level and higher level groups, respectively. CONCLUSION For Chinese patients, early introduction and reaching the target CsA concentration within four weeks after allo-HSCT have a positive effect on preventing GvHD, especially in the fourth week after HSCT. Compared to the Western population, the target CsA concentration is lower and the time required to reach the target (within 4 weeks) is longer in the Chinese population (274.75 ng/mL).

Abstract
Purpose The current study assesses which are the main risk factors, clinical outcome and prognosis following the colonization of CRE in patients that underwent allo-HSCT. Patients and Methods A total of 343 patients subjected to allo-HSCT in the period comprised between June 2021 and June 2022 were enrolled in this retrospective study. The CRE colonization was diagnosed by clinical history and routine microbial culture of perirectal swab. In this regard, a clinical prediction model was designed based on independent risk factors underlying the pre-transplantation CRE colonization using a backward stepwise logistic regression, followed by the evaluation of its discrimination and calibration efficacies, along with clinical usefulness. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were then conducted to assess the risk factors for post-transplantation clinical outcomes. Results Out of 343 patients enrolled in this study, 135 (39.3%) reported CRE colonization. The independent risk factor variables for CRE colonization were incorporated into the nomogram to build a prediction model, which showed an area under the curve of 0.767 (95% CI: 0.716-0.818), and well-fitted calibration curves (χ2 = 1.737, P = 0.9788). The patients with CRE colonization reported a significantly lower platelet engraftment rate with a higher risk of post-transplantation BSI when compared with the non-CRE colonization group (P = 0.02 and P < 0.001; respectively). The non-relapse mortality (NRM) value was higher in the CRE patients (P < 0.05), consistently with a survival probability that was thus significantly lower for the same timeframe (P < 0.05). Conclusion A reliable clinical prediction model for pre-transplantation CRE colonization was developed that demonstrated that the CRE colonization negatively affects platelet engraftment and survival outcomes following allo-HSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are the most common infectious complication in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplants (allo-HSCTs). Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are quantified to monitor the susceptibility to BSIs; however, their degree of activation is not. We previously identified a population of primed PMNs (pPMNs) with distinct markers of activation representing approximately 10% of PMNs in circulation. In this study, we investigate whether susceptibility to BSIs is related to the proportion of pPMNs rather than strictly PMN counts. METHODS In this prospective observational study, we used flow cytometry to assess pPMNs in blood and oral rinse samples collected from patients receiving an allo-HSCT over the course of their treatment. We used the proportion of pPMNs in the blood on day 5 post-transplant to categorize patients into a high- or a low-pPMN group (>10% or <10% pPMNs). These groups were then used as a predictor of BSIs. RESULTS A total of 76 patients were enrolled in the study with 36 in the high-pPMN group and 40 in the low-pPMN group. Patients in the low-pPMN group had lower expression of PMN activation and recruitment markers and displayed a delay in PMN repopulation of the oral cavity after the transplant. These patients were more susceptible to BSIs compared with patients in the high-pPMN group with an odds ratio of 6.5 (95% confidence interval, 2.110-25.07; P = .002). CONCLUSIONS In patients who receive an allo-HSCT, having <10% pPMNs early in the post-transplant phase can be an independent predictor of BSI in allo-HSCT patients.

Abstract
Acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia (AMKL) is associated with poor prognosis. Limited information is available on its cytogenetics, molecular genetics and clinical outcome. We performed genetic analyses, evaluated prognostic factors and the value of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in a homogenous adult AMKL patient cohort. We retrospectively analysed 38 adult patients with AMKL (median age: 58 years, range: 21-80). Most received intensive treatment in AML Cooperative Group (AMLCG) trials between 2001 and 2016. Cytogenetic data showed an accumulation of adverse risk markers according to ELN 2017 and an unexpected high frequency of structural aberrations on chromosome arm 1q (33%). Most frequently, mutations occurred in TET2 (23%), TP53 (23%), JAK2 (19%), PTPN11 (19%) and RUNX1 (15%). Complete remission rate in 33 patients receiving intensive chemotherapy was 33% and median overall survival (OS) was 33 weeks (95% CI: 21-45). Patients undergoing allo-HSCT (n = 14) had a superior median OS (68 weeks; 95% CI: 11-126) and relapse-free survival (RFS) of 27 weeks (95% CI: 4-50), although cumulative incidence of relapse after allo-HSCT was high (62%). The prognosis of AMKL is determined by adverse genetic risk factors and therapy resistance. So far allo-HSCT is the only potentially curative treatment option in this dismal AML subgroup.

Abstract
Introduction Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can cure patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, many patients relapse or develop debilitating graft-versus-host disease. Transplant restores T-cell reactivity against tumor cells, implicating patient human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-dependent antigen presentation via the major histocompatibility complex as a determinant of response. We sought to identify characteristics of the HLA genotype that influence response in allo-HSCT patients. Methods We collected HLA genotype and panel-based somatic mutation profiles for 55 patients with AML and MDS and available data treated at the University of California San Diego Moores Cancer Center between May 2012 and January 2019. We evaluated characteristics of the HLA genotype relative to relapse-free time and overall survival (OS) post-allo-HSCT using univariable and multivariable regression. Results In multivariable regression, the presence of an autoimmune allele was significantly associated with relapse-free time (hazard ratio [HR], 0.25; p = 0.01) and OS (HR, 0.16; p < 0.005). The better potential of the donor HLA type to present peptides harboring driver mutations trended toward better relapse-free survival (HR, 0.45; p = 0.07) and significantly correlated with longer OS (HR, 0.33; p = 0.01) though only a minority of cases had an HLA mismatch. Conclusion In this single institution retrospective study of patients receiving allo-HSCT for relapsed AML/MDS, characteristics of an individual's HLA genotype (presence of an autoimmune allele and potential of the donor HLA to better present peptides representing driver mutations) were significantly associated with better outcomes. These findings suggest that HLA type may guide the optimal application of allo-HSCT and merit evaluation in larger cohorts. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02478931.

Abstract
Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an important treatment for T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL). To compare the efficacy and influencing factors of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) with those of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from different donors for the treatment of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL) and provide a basis for selection of appropriate transplant methods and donors. Methods To provide evidence of appropriate transplant methods for these patients, we retrospectively summarized the clinical characteristics of 75 T-LBL patients receiving HSCT at Henan Cancer Hospital between March 2012 and October 2021. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and related factors affecting efficacy were analyzed. Results The 3-year CIR (39.9% vs 31.1%, P=0.745), 3-year PFS (60.1% vs 49.6%, P=0.434), and 3-year OS (62.8% vs 53.0%, P=0.450) were not significantly different between the auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT groups. However, the 3-year NRM was significantly higher in the allo-HSCT group (0% vs 27.2%, P=0.033). Multivariate analysis showed that the first complete remission (CR1) after HSCT was an independent influencing factor of higher OS (HR=2.498, P=0.029) and PFS (HR=2.576, P=0.016). The absence of mediastinal invasion in patients receiving HSCT was an independent influencing factor of better PFS (HR=2.977, P=0.029) and lower CIR (HR=4.040, P=0.027). With respect to the impact of donor source, the NRM in the unrelated donor (URD) and haploid donor (HPD) groups was significantly higher than that in the auto-HSCT group (P=0.021 and P=0.003, respectively), while there was no significant difference between matched sibling donors (MSD) and auto-HSCT. Compared with the MSD-HSCT group, the auto-HSCT group showed an increasing trend in 3-year CIR (39.9 ± 11.1% vs 32.6 ± 11.2%, P=0.697) and a lower trend in 3-year OS (62.8 ± 11.4% vs 64.4 ± 12.2%, P=0.929). Conclusions HSCT is an effective consolidation treatment option for patients with T-LBL without mediastinal invasion and with CR1 before transplantation. For CR1 patients, auto-HSCT and MSD-HSCT are effective modalities for improving survival. In non-CR1 patients without an MSD, matched unrelated donors and haploidentical donor transplantations are the best treatment options to reduce relapse and improve prognosis.

Abstract
Patients who receive allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) may develop sepsis, which result in a highly intensive care unit admission rate and mortality. Therefore, short-term and long-term prognostic models for sepsis after allo-HSCT are urgently needed. We enrolled patients receiving allo-HSCT who developed sepsis after allo-HSCT at Peking University People's Hospital between 2012 and 2021, including 287 patients who received allo-HSCT in 2018-2021 in the derivation cohort, and 337 patients in 2012-2017 in the validation cohort. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify prognostic factors, and these identified factors were incorporated into two scoring models. Seven independent factors (acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD (cGVHD), total bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and organ dysfunction [renal, lung and heart]) were included in the 6-month prognostic model, and six factors (cGVHD, C-reactive protein, LDH, organ dysfunction [lung, neurologic and coagulation]) were included in the 14-day prognostic model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration plots and decision curve analysis demonstrated the robust predictive performance of the models, better than the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score. Early identification of patients with high risk of 6-month and 14-day death may allow clinicians to provide timely treatments and improve the therapeutic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increased incidence of subsequent solid cancers (SSCs) has been reported in long-term survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and SSC is associated with inferior mortality and morbidity. Previous studies showed that the incidence of SSC is significantly higher in those who underwent allo-HSCT from HLA-mismatched donors, suggesting that persistent alloimmunity may predispose patients to SSCs. It was recently reported that, in a cohort of patients who received allo-HSCT from an unrelated donor matched at HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1/3/4/5, and -DQB1 loci, HLA-DPB1 alloimmunity determined by high mismatched eplets (MEs) and Predicted Indirectly Recognizable HLA Epitopes (PIRCHE) score (PS), was associated with relapse protection and increased risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). METHODS In the present study, the impact of HLA-DPB1 alloimmunity assessed by molecular mismatch algorithms on the development of SSCs in a cohort of 1514 patients who underwent allo-HSCT for hematologic malignancies was further investigated. ME load at the HLA-DPB1 locus was measured using the HLAMatchmaker module incorporated in HLA Fusion software, and the PS for mismatched HLA-DPB1 was calculated using the HSCT module from the PIRCHE online matching service. RESULTS In multivariable analysis after adjusting for baseline risk factors, higher ME, PS-I, and PS-II in the GVH direction, but not in the HVG direction, were associated with an increased risk of SSCs (ME: subdistribution hazard ratio [SHR] 1.58, p = .01; PS-I: SHR 1.59, p = .009; PS-II: SHR 1.71, p = .003). In contrast, nonpermissive HLA-DPB1 mismatches defined by the conventional T-cell epitope algorithm were not predictive of the risk of SSCs. Moreover, posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based GVHD prophylaxis was associated with a reduced risk of subsequent solid cancer (SHR 0.34, p = .021). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate for the first time that increased GVH alloreactivity could contribute to the development of SSCs in allo-HSCT survivors.

Haematopoietic stem cell reinjection may be a curative option for poor graft function after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; however, literature supporting its use remains limited. We conducted a multicentre retrospective study on behalf of the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, including 55 patients. We demonstrated response rates of nearly 40% and two-year survival of more than 60% in the context of an otherwise deadly complication and we observed that the timing of injection and the degree of cytopenia are strongly associated with outcomes. This study shows the feasibility of the procedure informing on its epidemiology, outcomes and prognostic factors, setting the stage for future guidelines.

Abstract
We retrospectively explored the prognostic impact of DAT mutations at diagnosis in 122 RUNX1mut AML patients. RUNX1 missense mutation was dominant in the RUNT domain, and frameshift mutation was dominant in the TAD domain. DAT mutations occurred in 38.5% of RUNX1mut AML. After propensity score matching, DATpos patients had worse two-year relapse-free survival (RFS) than DATneg patients (p = .041). Moreover, RUNX1high (VAF ≥ 37.6%) patients showed poorer two-year overall survival (OS) and RFS than RUNX1low (VAF < 37.6%) patients (OS, p = .033; RFS, p = .027), especially in the RUNX1highDATpos group. Additionally, multivariate analysis confirmed that DAT mutations at diagnosis were an independent adverse factor for RFS. There were no significant differences in two-year OS and RFS between DATpos and DATneg patients or between RUNX1high and RUNX1low patients who undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Collectively, DAT mutations at diagnosis were adverse factors for RFS, and allo-HSCT could likely improve the poor outcomes of these patients.

Abstract
A significant share of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (allo-HSCT) results in the relapse of malignant disease. The T cell immune response to minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHAs) promotes a favorable graft-versus-leukemia response. The immunogenic MiHA HA-1 is a promising target for leukemia immunotherapy, as it is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic tissues and presented by the common HLA A*02:01 allele. Adoptive transfer of HA-1-specific modified CD8+ T cells could complement allo-HSCT from HA-1- donors to HA-1+ recipients. Using bioinformatic analysis and a reporter T cell line, we discovered 13 T cell receptors (TCRs) specific for HA-1. Their affinities were measured by the response of the TCR-transduced reporter cell lines to HA-1+ cells. The studied TCRs showed no cross-reactivity to the panel of donor peripheral mononuclear blood cells with 28 common HLA alleles. CD8+ T cells after endogenous TCR knock out and introduction of transgenic HA-1-specific TCR were able to lyse hematopoietic cells from HA-1+ patients with acute myeloid, T-, and B-cell lymphocytic leukemia (n = 15). No cytotoxic effect was observed on cells from HA-1- or HLA-A*02-negative donors (n = 10). The results support the use of HA-1 as a target for post-transplant T cell therapy.

Abstract
The management of patients undergoing stem cell transplantation requires a multipurpose central venous catheter (CVC) to facilitate drug administration, parenteral nutrition, transfusion of blood products, and collection of blood samples. Peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) appear to meet these requirements but are rarely used for stem cell infusion. We aimed to retrospectively assess the safety and feasibility of stem cell infusion through PICC and to evaluate its impact on transplantation kinetics. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in patients receiving cryopreserved autologous or allogeneic PBSC by PICCs and compared the results with patients receiving transplants through a conventionally inserted central venous catheter (CICC). Despite statistically significant differences in CD34+ dose, infusion rate, and total length of administration, the clinical outcomes of transplantation, exemplified by platelet and neutrophil engraftment, along with the length of hospitalization, were not affected by the prolonged infusion time and lower infusion velocity in the PICC group. Our study showed that the clinical outcomes of PBSC transplantation did not differ between the PICC and CICC groups, suggesting that both types of catheters can be implemented in a PBSC transplantation setting.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between anomalous DNA nucleotidylexotransferase (DNTT) activation and the mutagenesis of gene length mutations (LMs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and the relevance of their prognosis in antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based regimen allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A cohort of 578 AML cases was enrolled. Next-generation sequencing was performed to screen mutations of 86 leukemia driver genes. RNA-seq was used to analyze gene expression. Prognostic analysis was investigated in 239 AML cases who underwent ATG-based regimen allo-HSCT. We report a refined subtyping algorithm of LMs (type I-IV) based on sequence anatomy considering the TdT-aided mutagenesis mechanism. GC content adjacent to LM junctions, inserted nontemplate nucleotide bases, and DNTT expression analysis supported the DNTT activation and TdT-aided mutagenesis in type II/III LMs in the total AML cohort. Both single-variate and multivariate analyses showed a better overall survival of FLT3 type III compared to type I in a subset of ATG-based regimen allo-HSCT cases. The novel LM subtyping algorithm not only deciphers the etiology of the mutagenesis of LMs but also helps to fine-tune prognosis differentiation in AML. The possible prognostic versatility of this novel LM subtyping algorithm in terms of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and allo-HSCT merits further investigation.

Abstract
Background Patients with refractory/relapsed (r/r) acute B lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) can achieve complete response (CR) after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, but recurrence occurs in the short term. To reduce recurrence and improve survival, CAR-T therapy followed by transplantation is a feasible option. We analyzed the long-term follow-up outcomes and the risk factors for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) after CR by CAR-T therapy in this study. Methods A total of 144 patients who underwent allo-HSCT after CAR-T therapy in our hospital were enrolled in this study. Target gene analysis was performed in 137 r/r B-ALL patients receiving allo-HSCT after CR by CAR-T therapy. Among the 137 patients, 87 were evaluated for germline predisposition gene mutations, and 92 were evaluated for tumor somatic gene mutations using NGS. The clinical factors, germline predisposition gene and somatic gene mutations associated with the prognosis of patients receiving transplantation after CAR-T therapy were analyzed using univariate Cox regression. Factors related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results In 137 r/r B-ALL patients, the 2-year cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR), OS and DFS in patients receiving allo-HSCT after CAR-T therapy was 31.5%, 71.4%, and 60.5%, respectively. The 2-year OS and DFS in MRD-negative patients were 80.9% and 69.3%, respectively. Univariate Cox analysis showed that pretransplant MRD positivity, fungal infection, germline EP300 mutation and somatic TP53 mutation were associated with a poor prognosis after transplantation; a TBI-based regimen was a protective factor for survival and recurrence after transplantation. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the TBI-based regimen was an independent protective factor for DFS, fungal infection and MRD positivity were independent risk factors for DFS, and tumor somatic TP53 mutation and germline EP300 mutation were independent risk factors for DFS and OS. Conclusion Germline EP300 mutation and tumor somatic TP53 mutation are poor prognostic factors for posttransplant recurrence and survival in r/r B-ALL patients achieving CR after CAR-T therapy. The prognostic risk factors should be considered in adjusting treatment strategies to improve the efficacy of clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Since allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is considered one of the curative treatments for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), hematological relapse following allo-HSCT remained a crucial concern for patients' survival. Methods We retrospectively compared patients who received venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents (VEN+HMA, n=23) or intensive chemotherapy (IC, n=42) for hematological relapse of myeloid malignancies after allo-HSCT. HMA selection included decitabine (n=2) and azacitidine (n=21), and combined donor lymphocyte infusion was administered to 21 and 42 patients in VEN+HMA and IC groups, respectively. Results Median age of all patients was 39 (16-64) years old. Overall response rates, including complete response (CR), CR with incomplete recovery of normal neutrophil or platelet counts (CRi) and partial response (PR), were not significantly different between VEN+HMA and IC groups (60.1% versus 64.3%, P=0.785). CR/CRi rate was 52.2% in VEN+HMA and 59.5% in IC group (P=0.567). The rate of relapse after response was 66.7% in VEN+HMA group and 40.7% in IC group (P=0.176). Median overall survival was 209.0 (95%CI 130.9-287.1) days for VEN+HMA group versus 211.0 (95%CI 28.7-393.3) days for IC group (P=0.491). The incidence of lung infection (17.4% versus 50.0%, P=0.010), thrombocytopenia (73.9% versus 95.2%, P=0.035) and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) (50.0% versus 13.0%, P=0.003) was significantly higher in IC group. Discussion In conclusion, VEN+HMA is not inferior to IC regimen in terms of improving response and survival, and is associated with a lower incidence of adverse events and aGvHD. However, further research is required to enhance long-term survival.

Abstract
Gut microbiota is thought to influence host responses to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). Recent evidence points to this post-transplant for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). We asked whether any such association might be found pre-transplant and conducted a metagenome-wide association study (MWAS) to explore. Microbial abundance profiles were estimated using ensembles of Kaiju, Kraken2, and DeepMicrobes calls followed by dimensionality reduction. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate classification of the samples (aGvHD vs. none) using an elastic net to test the relevance of metagenomic data. Clinical data included the underlying disease (leukemia vs. other hematological malignancies), recipient age, and sex. Among 172 aHSCT patients of whom 42 developed aGVHD post transplantation, a total of 181 pre-transplant tool samples were analyzed. The top performing model predicting risk of aGVHD included a reduced species profile (AUC = 0.672). Beta diversity (37% in Jaccard's Nestedness by mean fold change, p < 0.05) was lower in those developing aGvHD. Ten bacterial species including Prevotella and Eggerthella genera were consistently found to associate with aGvHD in indicator species analysis, as well as relief and impurity-based algorithms. The findings support the hypothesis on potential associations between gut microbiota and aGvHD based on a data-driven approach to MWAS. This highlights the need and relevance of routine stool collection for the discovery of novel biomarkers.

Abstract
Allo-HSCT with CCR5Δ32/Δ32 donor cells is the only curative HIV-1 intervention. We investigated the impact of allo-HSCT on the viral reservoir in PBMCs and post-mortem tissue in two patients. IciS-05 and IciS-11 both received a CCR5Δ32/Δ32 allo-HSCT. Before allo-HSCT, ultrasensitive HIV-1 RNA quantification; HIV-1-DNA quantification; co-receptor tropism analysis; deep-sequencing and viral characterization in PBMCs and bone marrow; and post-allo-HSCT, ultrasensitive RNA and HIV-1-DNA quantification were performed. Proviral quantification, deep sequencing, and viral characterization were done in post-mortem tissue samples. Both patients harbored subtype B CCR5-tropic HIV-1 as determined genotypically and functionally by virus culture. Pre-allo-HSCT, HIV-1-DNA could be detected in both patients in bone marrow, PBMCs, and T-cell subsets. Chimerism correlated with detectable HIV-1-DNA LTR copies in cells and tissues. Post-mortem analysis of IciS-05 revealed proviral DNA in all tissue biopsies, but not in PBMCs. In patient IciS-11, who was transplanted twice, no HIV-1-DNA could be detected in PBMCs at the time of death, whereas HIV-1-DNA was detectable in the lymph node. In conclusion, shortly after CCR5Δ32/Δ32, allo-HSCT HIV-1-DNA became undetectable in PBMCs. However, HIV-1-DNA variants identical to those present before transplantation persisted in post-mortem-obtained tissues, indicating that these tissues play an important role as viral reservoirs.

Abstract
Secondary malignancies that develop after allogeneic-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) have become serious issues. A 47-year-old man who developed acute myeloid leukemia in 2009 and subsequently underwent allo-HSCT twice: in 2009 and 2011. In 2015, voriconazole for lung aspergillus was started. In 2018, chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and multiple actinic keratoses manifested at his head. In 2020, some lesions were diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, so voriconazole was withdrawn, and subsequent surgery and radiation led to remission. Long-term administration of voriconazole in addition to allo-HSCT and chronic GVHD may be closely related to secondary skin cancer.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) are two major complications that contribute to a poor prognosis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Superior early immune reconstitution (IR) is associated with improved survival after HSCT. However, when all three factors, CMV infection, aGVHD, and IR, are concomitantly considered, the effects of the triple events on HSCT are still unknown and should be studied further. Thus we enrolled 185 patients who were diagnosed as hematological malignancies and treated with HLA-matched sibling transplantation (MST) between January 2010 and December 2014, of whom 83 were positive for CMV infection and 82 had aGVHD. Results showed that patients with both aGVHD and CMV infection had significantly higher non-relapse mortality (NRM), lower overall survival (OS), and delayed CD8+ T-cell IR. Multivariate analyses showed that both aGVHD combined with CMV infection and delayed CD8+ T-cell IR were independent risk factors for prognosis post-MST. Recurrent CMV infections are associated with poor CD8+ T-cell reconstitution. However, superior IR could protect against the negative effects of aGVHD and CMV infection on the transplant outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in lung transplantation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients. Clinical guidelines recommend lung function monitoring to aid early identification of BOS, but real-world rates of pulmonary function testing (PFT) have not been studied. The purpose of this study was to quantify PFT rates in lung transplantation and allo-HSCT recipients. METHODS This longitudinal retrospective study used US data from the IQVIA PharMetrics Plus commercial claims database (January 1, 2006-September 30, 2018) and the Medicare Limited Data Set (January 1, 2010-December 31, 2018). Study recipients had no evidence of transplantation 12 months before transplantation, which was identified by using diagnosis and procedure codes. PFTs were identified by using procedure codes. Outcomes were percentage of recipients who received ≥1 PFT in each follow-up year, including spirometry, lung diffusion capacity, lung function volume test, and plethysmography, including the average number of total and specific tests per recipient. FINDINGS The study identified 367 commercially insured and 1776 Medicare recipients who underwent lung transplantation; 92% and 86% received ≥1 lung function test in the first year after transplantation, respectively. Among recipients observable 3 years after transplant, 85% and 83% received ≥1 PFT. Among 2187 commercially insured and 1864 Medicare recipients who underwent allo-HSCT, 44% and 36% received ≥1 lung function test in the first posttransplant year. In the third year after transplant, only 31% and 26% of observable allo-HSCT recipients underwent any PFT. IMPLICATIONS Morbidity and mortality from BOS remain high in lung transplant and allo-HSCT recipients, but lung function testing in the first posttransplant year is not universal, with substantially lower rates among allo-HSCT recipients. Furthermore, testing rates in all cohorts declined over time. Increased and sustained monitoring could lead to earlier detection of BOS and earlier intervention and treatment.

Abstract
The cytogenetic abnormalities and molecular mutations involved in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) lead to unique treatment challenges. Although adoptive T-cell therapies (ACT) such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy have shown promising results in the treatment of leukemias, especially B-cell malignancies, the optimal target surface antigen has yet to be discovered for AML. Alternatively, T-cell receptor (TCR)-redirected T cells can target intracellular antigens presented by HLA molecules, allowing the exploration of a broader territory of new therapeutic targets. Immunotherapy using adoptive transfer of WT1 antigen-specific TCR-T cells, for example, has had positive clinical successes in patients with AML. Nevertheless, AML can escape from immune system elimination by producing immunosuppressive factors or releasing several cytokines. This review presents recent advances of antigen-specific TCR-T cells in treating AML and discusses their challenges and future directions in clinical applications.

Abstract
Parvovirus infection (PVI) is widespread, characterized by airborne, bloodborne and vertical transmission routes. Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) exhibits tropism to erythropoietic cells. According to the increased likelihood principle of PVB19 infection and the severity of the consequences, immunocompromised individuals, especially those with hematological manifestations of diseases, are in increased risk group. Based on the own research results and analysis of the published data, we have proposed specific algorithms for PVI laboratory testing in individual risk groups, taking into account the peculiarities of the development and infection manifestation in each group: in HIV-infected patients, in oncohematological patients with to whom allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) have been prescribed (blood and bone marrow recipients), as well as in patients with chronic anemia of parasitic etiology. For each group, the main clinical or laboratory marker, treatment procedure, or patient physiological parameters have been determined, based on which it was recommended to test for PVI. For HIV-infected patients, the main criterion for PVI testing is persistent anemia. For oncohematological patients, the basis for PVI testing is allo-HSCT procedure, which is planned or performed for this particular patient. For malaria patients, the patient's age was considered as major criterion, since in malaria and PVI coinfected young children can lead to a fatal outcome. The proposed PVI diagnostics algorithms usein risk groups can help to predict the severe course of underlying disease associated with PVB19 infection, and timely correct the therapy used.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the utilization of scleral lenses and prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem devices (SL/PDs) in the management of ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD). Patients and Methods A survey of 15 questions was sent via email to 6032 subjects registered with the Blood and Marrow Transplant Information Network. The survey reviewed transplant history, graft-versus-host disease history, as well as oGVHD symptoms and onset. Additional questions surveyed treatments used for oGVHD, as well as the degree of ocular symptom control and experience with SL/PDs. A total of 306 respondents met the eligibility requirements to be part of the analyzed cohort. Results The mean number of symptoms reported from the analyzed cohort was 4.79 ± 2.44, median (IQR) of 5.0 (3.0 to 7.0), with the most common symptom being gritty, dry eyes (87%). The mean number of treatments utilized across the analyzed cohort was 3.21 ± 2.55, median (IQR) of 2.5 (1.0 to 5.0), with the most common treatment being artificial tears (86%). Wearing scleral lenses resulted in a mean of 5.42 ± 1.86, median (IQR) of 6.0 (4.0 to 7.0) symptoms improving, with improved dryness/grittiness of the eyes (94%), improved eye pain (92%) and improved quality of life (89%) being the most commonly improved symptoms. Fifty-six percent of those wearing scleral lenses wished the lenses had been recommended sooner. The most common reason patients cited for not wearing scleral lenses was that they had never heard of them (63%). Conclusion SL/PDs help to control the symptoms of oGVHD. With their use, clinicians are able to improve the quality of life of this patient population. Despite the known benefits, SL/PDs still remain underutilized in oGVHD care. A majority of current SL/PD wearers wish that they had been recommended sooner as a treatment option. SL/PDs should be considered a component of comprehensive oGVHD management.

Abstract
Allogeneic-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) represents the only curative treatment option for numerous hematological malignancies. Elimination of malignant cells depends on the T-cells' Graft-versus-Tumor (GvT) effect. However, Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GvHD), often co-occurring with GvT, remains an obstacle for therapeutic efficacy. Hence, approaches, which selectively alleviate GvHD without compromising GvT activity, are needed. As already explored for autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, immuno-metabolic interventions pose a promising option to address this unmet challenge. Being embedded in a complex regulatory framework, immunological and metabolic pathways are closely intertwined, which is demonstrated by metabolic reprograming of T-cells upon activation or differentiation. In this review, current knowledge on the immuno-metabolic signature of GvHD-driving T-cells is summarized and approaches to metabolically interfere are outlined. Furthermore, we address the metabolic impact of standard medications for GvHD treatment and prophylaxis, which, in conjunction with the immuno-metabolic profile of alloreactive T-cells, could allow more targeted interventions in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of the treatments for hematologic malignancies. Numerous factors affect the HSCT outcome. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of post-HSCT administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (post-G-CSF) on early neutrophil and platelet engraftment in allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT). MATERIAL & METHODS The study was performed on 76 patients diagnosed with AML and ALL. All patients underwent allo-HSCT at Taleghani stem cell transplantation center, Tehran, Iran, from February 2016 to December 2018. Chemotherapy regimens based on patients' conditions were selected between myeloablative and reduced-intensity regimens. RESULTS Statistical analysis revealed that the number of administered G-CSF units after HSCT was a time-dependent variable. Statistical analysis before day +11 reported that patients who received G-CSF <14 units had three times better early neutrophil engraftment than those with G-CSF ≥14 (CI 95%, AHR = 3.03, p:0.002). CD3+ cells count <318.5 × 106 /kg was associated with fast platelet engraftment (CI 95%, AHR 2.28, p:0.01). CONCLUSION In this study, post-G-CSF stimulation was associated with early engraftment in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Administration of G-CSF beyond 14 units resulted in adverse effects on neutrophil early engraftment. It also appeared that with a reduction in CD3+ cell counts, the likelihood of GVHD decreases, and platelet engraftment occurs earlier. Further investigations in the future are required to determine the factors affecting the process of early engraftment.

Abstract
Gut acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a serious complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and is associated with high mortality. Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a group of innate-like T cells enriched in the intestine that can be activated by riboflavin metabolites from various microorganisms. However, little is known about the function or mechanism of action of MAIT cells in the occurrence of gut aGVHD in humans. In our study, multiparameter flow cytometry (FCM) was used to evaluate the number of MAIT cells and functional cytokines. 16S V34 region amplicon sequencing analysis was used to analyze the intestinal flora of transplant patients. In vitro stimulation and coculture assays were used to study the activation and function of MAIT cells. The number and distribution of MAIT cells in intestinal tissues were analyzed by immunofluorescence technology. Our study showed that the number and frequency of MAIT cells in infused grafts in gut aGVHD patients were lower than those in no-gut aGVHD patients. Recipients with a high number of MAITs in infused grafts had a higher abundance of intestinal flora in the early posttransplantation period (+14 days). At the onset of gut aGVHD, the number of MAIT cells decreased in peripheral blood, and the activation marker CD69, chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CXCR4, and transcription factors Rorγt and T-bet tended to increase. Furthermore, when gut aGVHD occurred, the proportion of MAIT17 was higher than that of MAIT1. The abundance of intestinal flora with non-riboflavin metabolic pathways tended to increase in gut aGVHD patients. MAIT cells secreted more granzyme B, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon (IFN)-γ under the interleukin (IL)-12/IL-18 stimulation [non-T-cell receptor (TCR) signal] and secreted most of the IL-17 under the cluster of differentiation (CD)3/CD28 stimulation (TCR signal). MAIT cells inhibited the proliferation of CD4+ T cells in vitro. In conclusion, the lower number of MAIT cells in infused grafts was related to the higher incidence of gut aGVHD, and the number of MAIT cells in grafts may affect the composition of the intestinal flora of recipients early after transplantation. The flora of the riboflavin metabolism pathway activated MAIT cells and promoted the expression of intestinal protective factors to affect the occurrence of gut aGVHD in humans.

Abstract
Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is one of the standard treatments for B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders; however, deep relapses are common after an allo-HSCT, and it is associated with poor prognosis. A successful approach to overcome these relapses is to exploit the body's own immune system with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells. These two approaches are potentially combinatorial for treating R/R B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Several clinical trials have described different scenarios in which allo-HSCT and CAR-T are successively combined. Further, for all transplanted patients, assessment of chimerism is important to evaluate the engraftment success. Nonetheless, for those patients who previously received an allo-HSCT there is no monitorization of chimerism before manufacturing CAR T-cells. In this review, we focus on allo-HSCT and CAR-T treatments and the different sources of T-cells for manufacturing CAR T-cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Increasing severity of AKI is associated with an increased risk of death. However, the impact of AKI in patients with malignant versus nonmalignant disease has not been reported. We investigated the incidence of AKI within the first 100 days after allo-HSCT and the impact of AKI on both 3-year overall survival (OS) and cumulative incidence of death after allo-HSCT in all patients and in patients with/without malignant primary diseases. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 107 consecutive pediatric and young adult patients who received their first allo-HSCT. AKI was classified into three grades according to the Acute Kidney Injury Network classification system. RESULTS The cumulative incidences of AKI stages 1-3, 2-3, and 3, at day 100 after allo-HSCT were 34.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 25.7%-43.6%), 17.8% (95% CI, 11.2%-25.6%), and 3.7% (95% CI, 1.2%-8.6%), respectively. OS was reduced for patients with AKI compared with patients without AKI (60.4% vs. 79.6%, p = .038). The cumulative incidence of death in the AKI group with nonmalignant disease was significantly higher than that in the no-AKI group (44.4% vs. 0%, p = .003). CONCLUSION AKI after allo-HSCT was not only a frequent event but also related to reduced OS. We recommend that all patients receiving allo-HSCT, especially patients with nonmalignant diseases, be closely monitored for AKI.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are usually associated with poor outcomes, especially in high-risk AML/MDS. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curative option for patients suffering from high-risk AML/MDS. However, many patients relapse after allo-HSCT. Novel therapy to prevent relapse is urgently needed. Both the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN) and the hypomethylating agent decitabine (DEC) possess significant antitumor activity effects against AML/MDS. Administration of DEC has been shown to ameliorate graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and boost the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect post-transplantation. We therefore conducted a prospective study (ChiCTR1900025374) to examine the tolerability and efficacy of a maintenance therapy of low-dose decitabine (LDEC) plus VEN to prevent relapse after allo-HSCT for high-risk AML/MDS patients. Twenty patients with high-risk AML (n = 17) or high-risk MDS (n = 3) post-transplantation were recruited. Approximately day 100 post-transplantation, all patients received LDEC (15 mg/m2 for 3 d) followed by VEN (200 mg) on d 1-21. The cycle interval was 2 mo, and there was 10 cycles. The primary end points of this study were rates of overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS). The secondary endpoints included adverse events (AEs), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), incidences of acute GVHD (aGVHD) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD), and incidences of viral infection after allo-HSCT. Survival outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The median follow-up was 598 (149-1072) d. Two patients relapsed, 1 died, and 1 is still alive after the second transplant. The 2-y OS and EFS rates were 85.2% and 84.7%, respectively. The median 2-y EFS time was 525 (149-1072) d, and 17 patients still had EFS and were alive at the time of this writing. The most common AEs were neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenic fever, and fatigue. Grade 2 or 3 AEs were observed in 35% (7/20) and 20% (4/20) of the patients, respectively. No grade >3 AEs were observed. aGVHD (any grade) and cGVHD (limited or extensive) occurred in 55% and 20% of patients, respectively. We conclude that LDEC + VEN can be administered safely after allo-HSCT with no evidence of an increased incidence of GVHD, and this combination decreases the relapse rate in high-risk AML/MDS patients. This novel maintenance therapy may be a promising way to prevent relapse in high-risk AML/MDS patients.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To explore whether dual-lumen power injectable peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) could be effectively and safely applied in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and for serum cyclosporine level monitoring. BACKGROUND Compared to conventional central venous access devices, PICC provides a feasible route not only for fluid infusion, but also for blood sample collection in patients undergoing oncological treatments. DESIGN A prospective observational study was conducted according to the STROBE guidelines. METHODS We prospectively evaluated the applications and complications of power injectable PICCs in 52 consecutive allo-HSCT recipients. We also compared the cyclosporine levels in 188 paired blood samples, simultaneously obtained via power injectable PICCs and percutaneous venous puncture, to investigate whether power injectable PICC is a feasible route for cyclosporine concentration monitoring in allo-HSCT. RESULTS The median PICC placement duration was 29 days. The insertion-site blood oozing and central line-associated bloodstream infection rates were 36.5% (19/52) and 26.9% (14/52), respectively, indicating the feasibility of these PICCs for various applications in allo-HSCT. No power injectable PICC-related thrombotic adverse events were identified; 90.4% (47/52) of cases with power injectable PICC removal occurred because of lack of medical utility, suggesting that power injectable PICC-related complications were manageable. However, cyclosporine levels in samples obtained via these PICCs were significantly higher than those in samples obtained via percutaneous venous puncture (261.5 ± 139.2 vs. 232.4 ± 253.6 ng/ml; p = 0.019 [set 1]; 254.8 ± 89.3 vs. 225.1 ± 233.3 ng/ml; p<0.001 [set 2]; 283.6 ± 103.9 vs. 238.0 ± 254.7 ng/ml; p = 0.006 [set 3]; 291.0 ± 94.9 vs. 266.0 ± 274.7 ng/ml; p = 0.016 [set 4]). CONCLUSION The power injectable PICC is a feasible venous access device for allo-HSCT. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The dual-lumen power injectable PICCs provided a reliable access for blood sample collection, decreasing the number of blind percutaneous venous punctures in allo-HSCT. However, its application in cyclosporine level monitoring needs further investigation.

Abstract
Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) can lead to sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in some individuals. GvHD is characterised by an immune triggered response that arises due to donor T cells recognizing the recipient tissue as “foreign”. SOS results in impaired liver function due to microvascular thrombosis and consequent obstruction of liver sinusoids. Endothelial damage occurs following chemotherapy and allo-HSCT and is strongly associated with GvHD onset as well as hepatic SOS. Animal models of GvHD are rarely clinically relevant, and endothelial dysfunction remains uncharacterised. Here we established and characterised a clinically relevant model of GvHD wherein Balb/C mice were subjected to myeloablative chemotherapy followed by transplantation of bone marrow (BM) cells± splenic T-cells from C57Bl6 mice, resulting in a mismatch of major histocompatibility complexes (MHC). Onset of disease indicated by weight loss and apoptosis in the liver and intestine was discovered at day 6 post-transplant in mice receiving BM+T-cells, with established GvHD detectable by histology of the liver within 3 weeks. Together with significant increases in pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression in the liver and intestine, histopathological signs of GvHD and a significant increase in CD4+ and CD8+ effector and memory T-cells were seen. Endothelial activation including upregulation of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)- 1 and downregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) as well as thrombosis in the liver indicated concomitant hepatic SOS. Our findings confirm that endothelial activation is an early sign of acute GvHD and SOS in a clinically relevant mouse model of GvHD based on myeloablative chemotherapy. Preventing endothelial activation may be a viable therapeutic strategy to prevent GvHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been long-standing controversy regarding the effectiveness and safety of lenalidomide as a maintenance treatment for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) after allogeneic cell transplantation. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the effectiveness and safety of lenalidomide in the maintenance treatment of MM patients after allogeneic cell transplantation based on published data. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in English and Chinese databases, covering all available publications until 1 December 2020. Statistical analysis was performed using the software STATA 14.0, and odds ratios (ORs) combined with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to explore the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in the treatment of MM patients after allogeneic cell transplantation. RESULTS A total of 173 MM cases in 8 independent studies from 2007 to 2014 were included. Through a single-arm meta-analysis of the disease status of MM patients after lenalidomide treatment, 3.6% of patients were in minimal response (MR, P=0.006), 39.0% were in complete remission (CR, P=0.169), 20.2% in partial remission (PR, P<0.001), 12.8% in very good partial remission (VGPR, P=0.049), and 9.7% in SD (P=0.023); the PD was 5.6% (P=0.010). Through meta-analysis of adverse reactions after taking lenalidomide, 35.3% (P=0.628) of participants developed acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); 22.6% (P=0.049) developed chronic GVHD; 20.3% (P=0.001) developed infection; 22.5% (P=0.352) had thrombocytopenia; 32.5% (P<0.000) had neutropenia; pain occurred in 17.8% (P=0.350) of patients, and peripheral neuropathy occurred in 17.8% (P=0.995) of participants. The overall survival (OS) of ≥2 years and progression-free survival (PFS) of ≥2 years of MM patients after allo-hematopoietic-stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) taking lenalidomide were analyzed, and the results were 64.9% (P=0.049) and 58.4% (P=0.890), respectively. DISCUSSION Lenalidomide is effective in the treatment of MM patients after allo-HSCT, and reducing the incidence of infection and peripheral neuropathy, but it is not effective in reducing GVHD and blood system adverse reactions.

Abstract
It is uncertain whether gastrointestinal (GI) infection caused by viral and bacterial pathogens may predispose to gastrointestinal acute Graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD-GI) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (allo-HSCT). We investigated the potential association between detection of enteropathogenic viruses or bacteria in stools and subsequent occurrence of aGvHD-GI in a cohort of 121 allo-HSCT patients. Eighty-six out of 121 patients (71%) had acute diarrhea and underwent screening for primary GI pathogens by molecular diagnostic methods. One or more GI pathogens were detected in 27 out of the 86 patients with diarrhea (31.3%). Specifically, Clostridioides difficile was found in 16 patients (18.6%), enteropathogenic viruses in 11 patients (12.7%) (Astrovirus, n = 4; Norovirus, n = 2; Sapovirus, n = 2; Adenovirus, n = 2; and Rotavirus, n = 1), and Campylobacter spp. in two patients (2.3%). Thirty patients were diagnosed with all grade aGvHD-GI by histopathology. Detection of primary GI pathogens was achieved in 12 out of 30 patients (Clostridium difficile, n = 5; enteric viruses, n = 8; Campylobacter spp., n = 1) who either subsequently developed (n = 9) or previously had (n = 3) grade I-IV IaGvHD (n = 9). Neither the detection of these microorganisms (all combined), enteric viruses, nor C. difficile was significantly associated with subsequent aGvHD-GI development in Cox models (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.11, p = .80; HR = 1.64, p = .62; HR = 0.75, p = .64, respectively). Analogous results were obtained when grade II-IV aGvHD-GI was selected as the clinical outcome. In summary, data in the current study did not support an association between GI infection and subsequent occurrence of aGvHD-GI in an unselected cohort of allo-HSCT recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Although HLA matching is considered as a key genetic predictor of allo-HSCT outcomes, genetic polymorphisms in non-HLA genes, especially in genes encoding immunoregulatory proteins, have also been proposed as additional risk factors linked to the occurrence of transplant complications. This study aimed to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis from all eligible cohort studies to determine the effect of CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms, including rs231775, rs3087243, rs4553808, rs5742909, and rs733618, on clinical outcomes in patients receiving an allo-HSCT. METHODS A systematic literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus was performed to identify the relevant studies, and related information was extracted. The effect size (ES) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the association. RESULTS 16 studies were eligible and included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that only the dominant models of rs3087243 were significantly associated with chronic GVHD (cGVHD), while other SNPs were not significantly associated with overall survival, disease-free survival, relapse, and GVHD. CONCLUSIONS Our study represents, for the first time, a comprehensive meta-analysis on the role of CTLA-4 polymorphisms on outcomes after allo-HSCT. The results indicate that the CT60 CTLA-4 polymorphism could be a significant risk factor for cGVHD.

Abstract
Acute leukemia (AL) is a highly heterogeneous hematologic malignancy, and although great progress has been made in the treatment of AL with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) and new targeted drugs, problems such as infection and GVHD in AL treatment are still serious. How to reduce the incidence of AL, improve its prognosis and reduce the side effects of treatment is a crucial issue. The gut microbiota plays an important role in regulating disease progression, pathogen colonization, and immune responses. This article reviews recent advances in the gut microbiota and AL pathogenesis, infection, treatment and its role in allo-HSCT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) polymorphisms at positions of +49 and CT60 in donors have been reported to influence clinical outcome following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), such as overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), relapse and the risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD). However, the results still remain controversial. Thus, we conducted the first meta-analysis to get a more accurate estimation of the relationship between CTLA-4 genotype and the above end points. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of science and Cochrane Library were searched to select eligible studies, data were extracted and then combined ORs/HRs together with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Both the dominant and recessive models were employed to evaluate the associations between genetic variation in donor CTLA-4 and outcome after allo-HSCT. RESULTS A total of 15 studies were included the pooled results indicated that +49 GG homozygote in donors was significantly associated with increased risk of chronic GVHD (OR=1.701, 95% CI, 1.124-2.573, P=0.012, I2=34.7%). With regard to CT60 polymorphism, donors with G allele correlated with worse OS (HR = 1.422, 95% CI, 1.080-1.872, P=0.012, I2=0%) and lower susceptibility to severe acute GVHD (HR=0.619, 95% CI, 0.426-0.899, P=0.012, I2=0%). There was no significant association between CTLA-4 polymorphism and DFS or the incidence of relapse. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis suggests that donors with CT60 G allele might be associated with worse OS but reduced severe aGVHD occurrence, while patients transplanted from donors with GG genotype at position of +49 are more likely to suffer from cGVHD.

Abstract
The number of HLA-haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (Haplo-HSCT) is increasing. Comparative studies about Haplo-HSCT versus allo-HSCT with HLA-matched sibling donors (MSD-HSCT) have been tried in leukemias and B-cell lymphomas. Few studies were reported in Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs). We performed a multicenter retrospective study about 52 patients with PTCLs undergoing Haplo-HSCT (n = 20) or MSD-HSCT (n = 32). All Haplo-HSCT recipients received antithymocyte globulin (ATG) based graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The median follow-up for all survivors was 38 months. The 100-day cumulative incidence of grade II to IV acute GVHD was similar (19% in the MSD-HSCT group versus 28% in the Haplo-HSCT group, P = 0.52). The 2-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD (limited and extensive) after Haplo-HSCT (30%) was also similar with that in the MSD-HSCT group (50%, P = 0.15). The 3-year relapse rates (33% vs 27%, P = 0.84) and non-relapse mortality (21% vs 22%, P = 0.78) did not differ between these two groups. There were also no differences in 3-year overall survival (OS) (48% vs 50%, P = 0.78) and progression-free survival (47% vs 51%, P = 0.95) between these two groups. On multivariate analysis, prognostic index for T-cell lymphoma (PIT) score (higher than 1: hazard ratio [HR], 4.0; P = 0.003) and disease status (stable or progression disease before HSCT: HR, 2.8; P = 0.03) were independent variables associated with worse OS. We concluded that ATG-based haplo-HSCT platform could work as an alternative to MSD-HSCT for patients with PTCLs.

Abstract
Background Letermovir prophylaxis is currently the standard of care for the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, drug-drug interactions between letermovir and azoles or calcineurin inhibitors and the high financial burden of letermovir remain problematic, especially in resource-limited countries. It has not been clarified whether a lower dose of valganciclovir would constitute an effective strategy for CMV prevention in patients with acute leukemia undergoing allo-HSCT. Methods We retrospectively assessed 84 consecutive adult patients with acute leukemia who underwent allo-HSCT. These 84 patients were stratified into a valganciclovir prophylaxis group (n = 20) and a non-valganciclovir prophylaxis group (n = 64). Results Patients in the valganciclovir prophylaxis group had a lower possibility of CMV DNAemia at week 14 after allo-HSCT than those in the non-valganciclovir prophylaxis group (15.0% versus 50.0%; p = 0.012). The cumulative incidence of CMV DNAemia at week 14 was also lower in patients with valganciclovir CMV prophylaxis than in those without (15.0% versus 50.4%; p = 0.006). Multivariate analysis validated these data, showing that a low dose of valganciclovir significantly reduced the risk of CMV DNAemia at week 14 by 88% (hazard ratio: 0.12; 95% confidence interval: 0.04-0.42; p = 0.001). However, these two groups had similar overall survival rates at week 48 (75.0% versus 76.6%; p = 0.805). Four of 20 (20%) patients discontinued valganciclovir prophylaxis because of adverse events. Conclusion Low-dose valganciclovir prophylaxis could be an alternative to letermovir to prevent CMV infection in allo-HSCT, especially in resource-limited countries.

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
Wnt-Fzd signalling pathway plays a critical role in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) progression and oncogenicity. There is no study to investigate the prognostic value of Wnt and Fzd gene families in AML. Our study screened 84 AML patients receiving chemotherapy only and 71 also undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We found that some Wnt and Fzd genes had significant positive correlations. The expression levels of Fzd gene family were independent of survival in AML patients. In the chemotherapy group, AML patients with high Wnt2B or Wnt11 expression had significantly shorter event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS); high Wnt10A expressers had significantly longer OS than the low expressers (all P < .05), whereas, in the allo-HSCT group, the expression levels of Wnt gene family were independent of survival. We further found that high expression of Wnt10A and Wnt11 had independent prognostic value, and the patients with high Wnt10A and low Wnt11 expression had the longest EFS and OS in the chemotherapy group. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that genes related to Wnt10A, Wnt11 and Wnt 2B were mainly enriched in 'cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation', 'haematopoietic cell lineage', 'platelet activation, signalling and aggregation' and 'mitochondrial RNA metabolic process' signalling pathways. Our results indicate that high Wnt2B and Wnt11 expression predict poor prognosis, and high Wnt10A expression predicts favourable prognosis in AML, but their prognostic effects could be neutralized by allo-HSCT. Combined Wnt10A and Wnt11 may be a novel prognostic marker in AML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of kidney function before and after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is important for both informed decision making and detection of chronic kidney disease. However, to the best of our knowledge, no report has evaluated the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in pediatric patients who underwent HSCT using the gold standard GFR measurement, as well as inulin-based GFR (iGFR). METHODS We assessed iGFR before and after allo-HSCT to evaluate the impact of allo-HSCT on GFR in a prospective cohort study of 17 pediatric patients. We also assessed the accuracy and bias of the values of estimated GFR (eGFR) calculated using serum creatinine (Cr), cystatin C (CysC), beta-2 microglobulin (β2 MG), 24-h creatinine clearance (24hCcr), and the full chronic kidney disease in children (CKiD) index that combines Cr, CysC, and blood urea nitrogen-based equations with iGFR as a reference to identify the most reliable equation for GFR. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the values before and after allo-HSCT. CKiD CysC-, 24hCcr-, and full CKiD-based values showed good within 30% (P30) accuracy (80.6%, 79.3%, and 80.6%, respectively), but only 24hCcr and full CKiD had good mean bias (8.5% and 8.9%, respectively) and narrow 95% limits of agreement (-32.2 to 52.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 and -29.3 to 47.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 , respectively) compared with the corresponding iGFR. CONCLUSION There was no significant impact of allo-HSCT on GFR in our cohort. The most reliable equations for pediatric patients with allo-HSCT were eGFR-24hCcr and eGFR-full CKiD.

Abstract
Human adenovirus (HAdV) is an important cause of the common cold and epidemic keratoconjunctivitis in immunocompetent individuals. In immunocompromised patients, HAdV can sometimes cause severe infection such as cystitis, gastroenteritis, pneumonia, encephalitis, hepatitis, or disseminated disease, resulting in significant morbidity and also mortality. In particular, severe cases have been reported in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Indeed HAdV has been recognized as a pathogen that requires careful monitoring in allo-HSCT patients. While HAdV hepatitis leading to severe acute liver failure is rare, such liver failure progresses rapidly and is often fatal. Unfortunately, HAdV hepatitis has few characteristic symptoms and physical findings, which makes it difficult to promptly confirm and start treatment. We report here four cases of HAdV hepatitis after allo-HSCT and their autopsy findings.

Abstract
The decision to incorporate allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) into front-line therapy in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) should be primarily guided by measurable residual disease (MRD) status and the ALL regimen utilized. While there is no doubt that allo-HSCT benefits patients with poor MRD response after induction or consolidation, the indication of allo-HSCT in cases of good MRD clearance is not clear. As targeted immunotherapies result in high MRD-negative CR rates, early incorporation of these therapies may also prove valuable in reducing the need for HCT in the front-line setting. This review discusses the data and controversies related to allo-HSCT in the front-line therapy of Philadelphia chromosome-negative and -positive ALL.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative diseases, including myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), are driven by genetic abnormalities and increased inflammatory signaling and are at high risk to transform into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Myeloid-derived suppressor cells were reported to enhance leukemia immune escape by suppressing an effective anti-tumor immune response. MPNs are a potentially immunogenic disease as shown by their response to interferon-α treatment and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Novel immunotherapeutic approaches such as immune checkpoint inhibition, tumor vaccination, or cellular therapies using target-specific lymphocytes have so far not shown strong therapeutic efficacy. Potential reasons could be the pro-inflammatory and immunosuppressive microenvironment in the bone marrow of patients with MPN, driving tumor immune escape. In this review, we discuss the biology of MPNs with respect to the pro-inflammatory milieu in the bone marrow (BM) and potential immunotherapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Central nervous system leukemia (CNSL) relapse is relatively common among Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemia patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The prognosis of patients is dismal for those with a BCR-ABL T315I mutation, which is resistant to TKIs including second-generation drugs. We assessed ponatinib for nine patients with recurrent Ph+ CNSL and a T315I mutation after allo-HSCT, including five patients with Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia and four with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Five patients experienced isolated CNSL relapse, and four experienced CNSL with hematologic relapse. All patients received ponatinib combined with intrathecal chemotherapy, and four patients with hematologic relapse received systemic chemotherapy and/or donor lymphocyte infusion. All patients achieved a deep molecular response and central nervous system remission (CNSR) at a median time of 1.5 (range: 0.7-3) months after ponatinib treatment. Two patients experienced a second CNSL relapse due to ponatinib reduction, but they achieved CNSR again after an increase to the standard dosage. Six patients developed graft versus host disease. By April 1, 2019, eight patients were alive, and one died of pneumonia. The median time of survival after the first CNSL relapse posttransplantation was 18 (range: 11.2-48.5) months. Our data from a small number of samples suggests that ponatinib is effective for recurrent Ph+ CNSL patients with a BCR-ABL T315I mutation after allo-HSCT and warrants broader clinical evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the long-term survival of a patient with maternal plasmacytoid dendritic cell tumor (BPDCN) treated by allo-HSCT. METHODS The patient was diagnosed by skin infiltration, bone marrow involvement, skin biopsy and bone marrow cytology. CD4, CD56, and CR123 were expressed in tumor cells. The first complete remission (CR1) was achieved by CHOP-E and MA regimens before transplantation. In March 2018, HLA 5/10 matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantations were performed in the paternal donors and fathers. The pretreatment regimen was FTBI (4 Gy × 2, total lung dose 6 Gy) + CY (cyclophosphamide 1.8 g/m2 × 2 d) + Flu (30 mg/m2 × 4 d) + ATG (10 mg/kg); CSA + MMF + MTX to prevent GVHD. MNC 6.45 × 108/kg and CD34 + cells 7.40 × 106/kg were transfused back. + Granulocyte and platelet were engrafted 12 days and 14 days respectively. The donor-recipient chimerism was monitored regularly, immunosuppressive agents were regulated, and minimal residual disease (MRD) was monitored by flow cytometry. No DLI. RESULTS Complete donor implantation and continuous remission were achieved after transplantation. After transplantation, complications such as mucositis, viral infection, hypoproteinemia, and renal dysfunction occurred. At present, the disease-free survival is 10 months. CONCLUSION BPDCN combined with TBI in the CR1 phase can effectively control the disease; HLA haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is also an alternative treatment, and complications should be treated in a timely manner.
