未经证实:来自原发性淋巴器官的淋巴细胞再生对于异基因造血干细胞移植(HSCT)后成功重建免疫至关重要。这项单中心回顾性研究旨在评估T细胞受体切除圈(TREC)和κ缺失重组切除圈(KREC)作为T和B细胞恢复的替代标记。作为成人急性髓系白血病(AML)患者移植相关结局的预测因子。
UNASSIGNED:2010年至2015年期间90例诊断为AML并接受HSCT治疗的成年患者被纳入研究。在移植后1、3、6和12个月通过定量PCR测量TREC和KREC水平。
未经评估:总的来说,TREC的切除环水平在HSCT后3至6个月之间升高(p=0.005),KREC的1和3个月之间升高(p=0.0007)。在HSCT后12个月的标志性生存分析中,TREC水平与优越的总生存率相关(HR:0.52,95%CI:0.34-0.81,p=0.004)。移植后前100天内病毒感染的发生率与6个月时较低的TREC水平相关(p=0.0002)。CMV再激活同样与HSCT后6个月的较低TREC水平相关(p=0.02)。在统计分析中,KREC水平与临床结果无关。
UNASSIGNED:本研究的结果表明,TREC测量可被视为HSCT后监测的一部分,以确定移植后存活率较差的AML患者。需要进一步的前瞻性研究来验证这些发现。
UNASSIGNED: Lymphocyte neogenesis from primary lymphoid organs is essential for a successful reconstitution of immunity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This single-center retrospective study aimed to evaluate T cell receptor excision circles (TREC) and kappa-deleting recombination excision circles (
KREC) as surrogate markers for T and B cell recovery, as predictors for transplantation-related outcomes in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.
UNASSIGNED: Ninety adult patients diagnosed with AML and treated with HSCT between 2010 and 2015 were included in the study. TREC and
KREC levels were measured by quantitative PCR at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after transplantation.
UNASSIGNED: Overall, excision circle levels increased between 3 and 6 months post-HSCT for TREC (p = 0.005) and 1 and 3 months for
KREC (p = 0.0007). In a landmark survival analysis at 12 months post-HSCT, TREC levels were associated with superior overall survival (HR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.34 - 0.81, p = 0.004). The incidence of viral infections within the first 100 days after transplantation was associated with lower TREC levels at 6 months (p = 0.0002). CMV reactivation was likewise associated with lower TREC levels at 6 months (p = 0.02) post-HSCT.
KREC levels were not associated with clinical outcomes in statistical analyzes.
UNASSIGNED: Results from the present study indicate that TREC measurement could be considered as part of the post-HSCT monitoring to identify AML patients with inferior survival after transplantation. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.
