Experience with incompatible maternal donors for bone marrow transplantation.

    Summary

    Marrow transplants between mothers and sons were explored, finding that mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) incompatibility may predict graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) risk rather than bone marrow rejection. This suggests potential for transplants between MLC-reactive individuals with better GVHD control.

    Bone marrow transplantation·2016

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Immunology
    • Transplantation

    Background:

    • Bone marrow transplantation is crucial for aplastic anemia and leukemia.
    • Histocompatibility at HLA loci (serological and MLC) is typically required for successful sibling transplants.
    • Limited options exist for histoincompatible marrow donors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the feasibility of marrow transplantation from histoincompatible mothers to male recipients.
    • To assess the correlation between mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) incompatibility and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or bone marrow rejection.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied three male patients (two with aplastic anemia, one with acute myelogenous leukemia) receiving transplants from their mothers.
    • Performed MLC studies to evaluate donor-recipient compatibility.

  • Monitored for engraftment and clinical/histological signs of GVHD.

    • Main Results:

    • Varying degrees of MLC stimulation were observed between donors and recipients.
    • Sustained engraftment occurred in one patient; transient engraftment in another.
    • Clinical GVHD was noted in the sustained engraftment patient, but not histologically confirmed.

    Conclusions:

    • MLC incompatibility appears to be a better predictor of GVHD risk than bone marrow rejection.
    • Marrow transplantation between MLC-reactive individuals may become viable with improved GVHD management.
    • This preliminary study highlights potential avenues for expanding bone marrow donor pools.
