Types of Transplants
• Syngeneic – Identical twin
• Allogeneic – From another person
• family member (sibling, parent, other relative)
• unrelated donor
• Autologous – Self
RPCI BMT Program
• Autologous up to age 80 • Allogeneic
– Myeloablative up to age 60 – Reduced Intensity up to age 80
• Goal: Increasing patient access with decreasing mortality and improved outcome – Reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiation
therapy – Reduce the toxicity of Graft-versus-Host Disease
(GvHD) and preserve the Graft-versus-Tumor (GvT) effect
RPCI Cord Blood Transplant Experience
• First CBT: May 1997, most recent CBT: Sept 2015
• 36 total, 33 Single CB, 3 Double CB, 7 alive, 6 disease free, 3 are >15 years from CBT
• Deaths: Infection n=8, Relapse of disease: n=7, GvHD n=5, RRT n=4, Cardiac disease n=2, hemorrhage n=1, second cancer n=1
• There are several strategies to overcome the risk of infection, relapse, severe GvHD and toxicity
RPCI BMT Program Outcomes
• Most recent outcomes report
• 1/1/2010-12/31/2012 with follow-up to 12/31/2013
• N=148 patients
• Actual 1-year survival rate = 70.9%
• Predicted 1-year survival rate = 62.2%
• 95% CI predicted 1-yr survival rate = 55.1%-69.6%
• Result: RPCI actual 1-year survival is statistically significantly higher than predicted

Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD) and Graft-versus-Tumor (GvT)
• Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD) is caused by the immune activation of donor cells recognizing recipient cells as foreign.
• Acute GvHD occurs ~ 100 days after BMT and affects Skin, GI tract and Liver.
• Chronic GvHD occurs after acute GvHD; up to 3 years following BMT.
• GvHD is the most frequent cause of mortality after allogeneic BMT.
• However, GvHD is accompanied by a Graft-versus-Tumor (GvT) effect that can result in eradication of the underlying cancer.

The Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC)

• Hematopoiesis is a
hierarchical process with
HSCs at the apex
• 1012 new blood cells
produced daily
• HSCs differentiate into
multipotent progenitors
(MPP) and eventually
produce all blood cells

Figure 1.4: Increased cellular proliferation is associated with hematopoietic differentiation. The majority of long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) are in the quiescent G0 phase of the cell cycle (G0). The proportion of cells actively proliferating increases as LT-HSCs differentiate, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of cells as a percentage of whole bone marrow. In the mouse, this represents greater than a 100-fold expansion from less than 0.01% of bone marrow to greater than 1.0%.
1.6 Molecular regulators of HSC quiescence
LT-HSC quiescence is regulated through both cell-extrinsic and intrinsic factors.
We will return to cell-extrinsic regulators of HSC quiescence in the next section, 1.7 The
HSC niche maintains LT-HSC quiescence. Cell intrinsic factors include transcription
regulatory factors (e.g. Hif- Foxo3a, Scl, and Pten), cell cycle regulatory factors (e.g.
p21, p27, p57), and regulators of metabolic activity (e.g., Atm, mTOR) 131, 137, 144-164.
Quiescent HSCs also exhibit low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and metabolic
activity.
Numerous transcription factors are able to regulate adult HSC quiescence. The
transcription factor stem cell leukemia protein (Scl) encoded by TAL1 maintains HSC
Long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs) are quiescent (G0)

rST6G infusion mitigates acute inflammation
Acute airway inflammation elicited by oropharyngeal instillation of NTHI
rST6G mitigated inflammation by at least 2 ways 1. Suppressed new inflammatory cell production 2. Suppressed release of inflammatory mediators
Manipulating circulating ST6Gal-1
• Depleting circulating ST6Gal-1 (e.g. by Mab) – Enhance hematopoietic repopulation after myeloablative events
• Raising circulating ST6Gal-1 (e.g. by rST6G) – Myeloproliferative syndromes
– Suppression of inflammation

• Understanding the patient’s immune status pre/post alloHSCT may lead to the design of strategies to control disease and prevent relapse
• Can protective immune reconstitution to prevent infections occur without the development of GvHD following alloHSCT?
• Can the GvT/GvL effect be preserved while eradicating the morbidity and mortality of GvHD
• Can CBT be enhanced to decrease the risk of infection
• Can other therapies enhance the host’s ability to eradicate disease and/or have direct anti-tumor effects ? – Antibodies +/- conjugate; +/- IMiD,
– Targeted cellular therapies for Hematologic malignancies
– Targeted Checkpoint Inhibition
