Posttransplantation cyclophosphamide facilitates engraftment of major histocompatibility complex-identical allogeneic marrow in mice conditioned with low-dose total body irradiation

Abstract: Cyclophosphamide (Cy) has been studied extensively for its immunosuppressive properties and is frequently combined with total body irradiation (TBI) as conditioning prior to HLA-identical allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (alloBMT) in humans. Because Cy is most effective at suppressing host-versus-graft reactions when the drug is given after the transplantation (Mayumi H et al. Transplant Proc. 1986;18:363-369), we investigated whether posttransplantation Cy could prevent rejection of allogeneic marro… Show more

“…109 Subsequently, the PTCy approach was extended to alloBMT. In major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched mouse models, treatment with PTCy reduced the dose of radiation required to induce reliable engraftment [110][111][112] and also prevented GVHD and prolonged survival. 113 Graft failure could be further reduced by the use of antilymphocyte globulin, 114 and radiation in the conditioning regimen could be replaced entirely by fludarabine, although high levels of donor chimerism required at least 100 cGy of TBI.…”

“…In these protocols, donor-derived lymphocytes are exposed to host antigens that induce proliferation of antigen-specific lymphocytes. It is hypothesized that by timely exposure to post-transplant CY, proliferating lymphocytes are killed whereas resting lymphocytes are spared (50,51). In a study of 68 patients with hematological malignancies, CY (50 mg/kg) was given on day 3 or days 3 and 4 after nonmyeloablative conditioning and transplantation of T-cellreplete haploidentical BM (52).…”

“…In retrospect, cyclophosphamide may have been given at the wrong time or at a dose that was too low to be maximally effective at suppressing GVHD. Results of the more recent preclinical work, however, indicates that the primitive HSC is fairly resistant to high-dose cyclophosphamide, and provides the rationale to test this approach in the clinical setting [21].…”
