Multicenter randomized trial of cell therapy in cardiopathies – MiHeart Study

Abstract Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death in the world. Current treatments have not been able to reverse this scenario, creating the need for the development of new therapies. Cell therapies have emerged as an alternative for cardiac diseases of distinct causes in experimental animal studies and more recently in clinical trials. Method/Design: We have designed clinical trials to test for the efficacy of autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cell therapies in four different cardiopathies: acute and chronic ischemic heart disease, and Chagasic and dilated cardiomyopathy. All trials are multicenter, randomized, double-blind and placebo controlled. In each trial 300 patients will be enrolled and receive optimized therapy for their specific condition. Additionally, half of the patients will receive the autologous bone marrow cells while the other half will receive placebo (saline with 5% autologous serum). For each trial there are specific inclusion and exclusion criteria and the method for cell delivery is intramyocardial for the chronic ischemic heart disease and intracoronary for all others. Primary endpoint for all studies will be the difference in ejection fraction (determined by Simpson's rule) six and twelve months after intervention in relation to the basal ejection fraction. The main hypothesis of this study is that the patients who receive the autologous bone-marrow stem cell implant will have after a 6 month follow-up a mean increase of 5% in absolute left ventricular ejection fraction in comparison with the control group. Discussion: Many phase I clinical trials using cell therapy for cardiac diseases have already been performed. The few randomized studies have yielded conflicting results, rendering necessary larger well controlled trials to test for efficacy of cell therapies in cardiopathies. The trials registration numbers at the NIH registry are the following: Chagasic cardiomyopathy (NCT00349271), dilated cardiomyopathy (NCT00333827), acute myocardial infarction (NCT00350766) and Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease (NCT00362388).

Hyaluronidase recruits mesenchymal-like cells to the lung and ameliorates fibrosis

Hyaluronidases (HYALs) comprise a group of enzymes that degrade hyaluronic acid (HA). In this report, we reveal that a single intranasal inoculation of HYAL induces an increase in mononuclear cells within the bronchoalveolar space demonstrating a mesenchymal-like phenotype, expressing stem cell antigen-1 (SCA-1), CD44 and CD73 but not CD34, CD45, CD3, CD4, CD8 or CD19. This influx of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-like cells was dependent on leukotriene production within the lung parenchyma. These findings prompted experiments demonstrating that HYAL treatment potently blocked bleomycin-induced lung injury and fibrosis while decreasing transforming growth factor (TGF)-β production and collagen deposition. These data suggest that HYAL is a novel and promising tool to use autologous MSC-like cells in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Stem cell transplantation for type 1 diabetes mellitus

Abstract Background The use of stem cells to treat type 1 diabetes mellitus has been proposed for many years, both to downregulate the immune system and to provide β cell regeneration. Conclusion High dose immunosuppression followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is able to induce complete remission (insulin independence) in most patients with early onset type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Oral health as a predictive factor for oral mucositis

OBJECTIVES: Oral mucositis is a complication frequently associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, decreasing a patient’s quality of life and increasing the occurrence of opportunistic infections. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and severity of oral mucositis and to assess the correlation of this disease with the oral health of an individual at the time of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS: Before transplantation, patients’ oral health and inflammatory conditions were determined using the gingival index and the plaque index, which are based on gingival bleeding and the presence of dental plaque, respectively. Additionally, the dental health status was determined using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth index. The monitoring of oral mucositis was based on the World Health Organization grading system and was performed for five periods: from Day 0 to D+5, from D+6 to D+10, from D+11 to D+15, from D+16 to D+20, and from D+21 to D+30. RESULTS: A total of 97 patients (56% male and 44% female) who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo between January 2008 and July 2009 were prospectively examined. The incidence of ulcerative mucositis was highest from days +6 to +10 and from days +11 to +15 in the patients who underwent autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, respectively. CONCLUSION: The data, including the dental plaque and periodontal status data, showed that these oral health factors were predictive of the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in a cohort of patients with similar conditioning regimens before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Post-surgical follow-up of primary hyperparathyroidism associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1

The bone mineral density increments in patients with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism after parathyroidectomy have been studied by several investigators, but few have investigated this topic in primary hyperparathyroidism associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Further, as far as we know, only two studies have consistently evaluated bone mineral density values after parathyroidectomy in cases of primary hyperparathyroidism associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Here we revised the impact of parathyroidectomy (particularly total parathyroidectomy followed by autologous parathyroid implant into the forearm) on bone mineral density values in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Significant increases in bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and femoral neck values were found, although no short-term (15 months) improvement in bone mineral density at the proximal third of the distal radius was observed. Additionally, short-term and medium-term calcium and parathyroid hormone values after parathyroidectomy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 are discussed. In most cases, this surgical approach was able to restore normal calcium/parathyroid hormone levels and ultimately lead to discontinuation of calcium and calcitriol supplementation.

Mastopexia após perda ponderal maciça: suspensão dérmica, remodelação do parênquima e aumento com tecido autógeno

INTRODUÇÃO: Pacientes com perda ponderal significativa podem apresentar mamas com ptose acentuada, perda de projeção do polo superior e excesso de tecido na porção toracolateral. Rubin & Khachi descreveram técnica de mastopexia com suspensão dérmica e remodelação do parênquima associada a aumento com tecido autógeno, tratando a deformidade mamária e o excesso toracolateral em um só estágio. Neste trabalho, é ilustrada essa técnica cirúrgica e demonstradas sua reprodutibilidade e suas complicações. MÉTODO: Foram operadas 14 pacientes com deformidade graus 2 e 3 pela Escala de Pittsburgh, no Hospital Estadual de Sapopemba (São Paulo, SP, Brasil), no período de dezembro de 2008 a dezembro de 2009, utilizando a técnica referida. Foram analisados os seguintes dados: tipos de deformidade das mamas, translocação do complexo areolopapilar (CAP), dimensões dos retalhos, tempo cirúrgico, tempo de permanência do dreno e incidência de complicações. RESULTADOS: A média de idade das pacientes foi de 41,21 + 7,67 anos e o índice de massa corporal médio foi de 29,30 + 2,77. O tempo de seguimento das pacientes variou de 3 meses a 18 meses, com média de 8 meses. Dentre as 14 pacientes operadas, 4 (28,6%) apresentavam deformidade grau 3 e 10 (71,4%), grau 2. A média de translocação do CAP foi de 6,38 cm. As dimensões médias do retalho foram de 25,21 cm x 6,92 cm. O tempo cirúrgico médio foi de 188,57 minutos. Os drenos permaneceram, em média, por 6,21 dias. Foram observadas as seguintes complicações: epiteliose de CAP, deiscência na junção do T, hematoma pequeno e linfedema toracolateral. CONCLUSÕES: A mastopexia com suspensão dérmica, remodelação do parênquima e aumento com tecido autólogo é uma técnica reprodutível, rápida e com baixo índice de complicações.

The effect of bone allografts combined with bone marrow stromal cells on the healing of segmental bone defects in a sheep model

Background: The repair of large bone defects is a major orthopedic challenge because autologous bone grafts are not available in large amounts and because harvesting is often associated with donor-site morbidity. Considering that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) are responsible for the maintenance of bone turnover throughout life, we investigated bone repair at a site of a critically sized segmental defect in sheep tibia treated with BMSCs loaded onto allografts. The defect was created in the mid-portion of the tibial diaphysis of eight adult sheep, and the sheep were treated with ex-vivo expanded autologous BMSCs isolated from marrow aspirates and loaded onto cortical allografts (n = 4). The treated sheep were compared with control sheep that had been treated with cell-free allografts (n = 4) obtained from donors of the same breed as the receptor sheep. Results: The healing response was monitored by radiographs monthly and by computed tomography and histology at six, ten, fourteen, and eighteen weeks after surgery. For the cell-loaded allografts, union was established more rapidly at the interface between the host bone and the allograft, and the healing process was more conspicuous. Remodeling of the allograft was complete at 18 weeks in the cell-treated animals. Histologically, the marrow cavity was reestablished, with intertrabecular spaces being filled with adipose marrow and with evidence of focal hematopoiesis. Conclusions: Allografts cellularized with AOCs (allografts of osteoprogenitor cells) can generate great clinical outcomes to noncellularized allografts to consolidate, reshape, structurally and morphologically reconstruct bone and bone marrow in a relatively short period of time. These features make this strategy very attractive for clinical use in orthopedic bioengineering

Exome analysis of HIV patients submitted to dendritic cells therapeutic vaccine reveals an association of CNOT1 gene with response to the treatment

INTRODUCTION: With the aim of searching genetic factors associated with the response to an immune treatment based on autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells pulsed with autologous inactivated HIV, we performed exome analysis by screening more than 240,000 putative functional exonic variants in 18 HIV-positive Brazilian patients that underwent the immune treatment. METHODS: Exome analysis has been performed using the ILLUMINA Infinium HumanExome BeadChip. zCall algorithm allowed us to recall rare variants. Quality control and SNP-centred analysis were done with GenABEL R package. An in-house implementation of the Wang method permitted gene-centred analysis. RESULTS: CCR4-NOT transcription complex, subunit 1 (CNOT1) gene (16q21), showed the strongest association with the modification of the response to the therapeutic vaccine (p=0.00075). CNOT1 SNP rs7188697 A/G was significantly associated with DC treatment response. The presence of a G allele indicated poor response to the therapeutic vaccine (p=0.0031; OR=33.00; CI=1.74-624.66), and the SNP behaved in a dominant model (A/A vs. A/G+G/G p=0.0009; OR=107.66; 95% CI=3.85-3013.31), being the A/G genotype present only in weak/transient responders, conferring susceptibility to poor response to the immune treatment. DISCUSSION: CNOT1 is known to be involved in the control of mRNA deadenylation and mRNA decay. Moreover, CNOT1 has been recently described as being involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes mediated by tristetraprolin (TTP). The TTP-CCR4-NOT complex (CNOT1 in the CCR4-NOT complex is the binding site for TTP) has been reported as interfering with HIV replication, through post-transcriptional control. Therefore, we can hypothesize that genetic variation occurring in the CNOT1 gene could impair the TTP-CCR4-NOT complex, thus interfering with HIV replication and/or host immune response. CONCLUSIONS: Being aware that our findings are exclusive to the 18 patients studied with a need for replication, and that the genetic variant of CNOT1 gene, localized at intron 3, has no known functional effect, we propose a novel potential candidate locus for the modulation of the response to the immune treatment, and open a discussion on the necessity to consider the host genome as another potential variant to be evaluated when designing an immune therapy study

Antibody responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria and their relation to protection against the disease

Protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum may be obtained after repeated exposure to infection. Several studies indicate that immunity against the blood stages of the P. Falciparum infection is mainly antibody mediated. Protective antibodies may act either on their own, mediate antibody-dependent phagocytosis and/or cell-mediated neutralization of parasites. This thesis describes several aspects of humoral immune responses to P. falciparum infection in individuals of different age groups, different genetic background and with different degrees of malaria exposure. Several target antigens for antibody-mediated inhibition of parasite growth or invasion have been identified. One such antigen is Pf332, which appears on the surface of parasitized erythrocytes at late trophozoite and schizont stage. This surface exposure makes the antigen a possible target for opsonizing antibodies. We optimized an in vitro assay for studying cellmediated parasite neutralization in the presence of Pf332-reactive antibodies. Our data demonstrate that, Pf332 specific antibodies are able to inhibit parasite growth on their own and in cooperation with human monocytes. The P. falciparum parasites have evolved several mechanisms to evade the host neutralizing immune responses. In this thesis, we show that freshly isolated P. falciparum parasites from children living in a malaria endemic area of Burkina Faso were less sensitive for growth inhibition in vitro by autologous immunoglobulins (Ig) compared with heterologous ones. Analyses of two consecutive isolates taken 14 days apart, with regard to genotypes and sensitivity to growth inhibition in vitro, did not give any clear-cut indications on possible mechanisms leading to a reduced inhibitory activity in autologous parasite/antibody combinations. The frequent presence of persisting parasite clones in asymptomatic children indicates that the parasite possesses as yet undefined mechanisms to evade neutralizing immune responses. Transmission reducing measures such insecticide treated nets (ITNs) have been shown to be effective in reducing morbidity and mortality from malaria. However, concerns have been raised that ITNs usage could affect the acquisition of malaria immunity. We studied the effect of the use of insecticide treated curtains (ITC) on anti-malarial immune responses of children living in villages with ITC since birth. The use of ITC did neither affect the levels of parasite neutralizing immune responses nor the multiplicity of infection. These results indicate that the use of ITC does not interfere with the acquisition of anti-malarial immunity in children living in a malaria hyperendemic area. There is substantial evidence that the African Fulani tribe is markedly less susceptible to malaria infection compared to other sympatrically living ethnic tribes. We investigated the isotypic humoral responses against P. falciparum asexual blood stages in different ethnic groups living in sympatry in two countries exhibiting different malaria transmission intensities, Burkina Faso and Mali. We observed higher levels of the total malaria-specific-IgG and its cytophilic subclasses in individuals of the Fulani tribe as compared to non-Fulani individuals. Fulani individuals also showed higher levels of antibodies to measles antigen, indicating that the intertribal differences are not specific for malaria and might reflect a generally activated immune system in the Fulani.

Purging e alte dosi di chemioterapia con reinfusione di cellule staminali autologhe in linfomi non Hodgkin follicolari resistenti/refrattari

In the era of monoclonal antibodies the role of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the management of follicular lymphoma (FL) is still debated. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of myeloablative therapy with rescue of purged or unpurged harvests in FL pts. At our institution form 1997 to 2007 28 pts with refractory/resistant FL were eligible for ASCT. Before high dose therapy they received 2-3 cycles of CHOP-like regimen (ACOD), followed by Cyclophosphamide 4g/mq to mobilize the stem cells (SC). After SC collection the pts underwent 3 cycles of subcutaneous Cladribine at a daily dose of 0,14-0,10 mg/Kg for Day 1-5 every 3-4 weeks. The conditioning regimen was based on Mitoxantrone 60mg/mq + Melphalan 180 mg/mq, followed by SC re-infusion 24-hours later and G-CSF starting 24 hours after re-infusion. In 19 pts the SC underwent purging: in 10 harvests the CD34+ were selected by immunomagnetic beads, while in the other 9 pts, only Rituximab was used as “purging in vivo” agent. The remaining 9 pts received unpurged SC. Before ASCT 11 pts were in complete response (CR), 9 in partial response (PR) and 2 in stable disease. Two pts were not eligible for ASCT because of progressive disease (PD). The remaining 25 pts were eligible for ASCT. The engraftment was at a median of 11 days for leucocytes and 14 days for platelets (>20.000/mmc), with a delay of one day in the pts, who received purged SC. Grade 3-4 mucositis was described in 8 pts. During aplasia a 48% infection rate was reported, without differences between pts with purged or unpurged SC. One patient in CR presented myelodysplastic syndrome at 18 months from ASCT. After ASCT 22 pts were in CR, 2 in PR and one patient were not valuable, because died before response assessment. Nine pts in CR showed PD at a median time of 14 months from ASCT. With a median follow up of 5 years (range 2 months -10 years), 22 pts are alive and 11 (44%) in CR. Ten pts died, 5 for progressive disease and 5 for treatment-related causes; in particular 7 of them received in-vitro purged SC. Conclusions: Our chemotherapy regimen, which included the purine analogue Cladribine in the induction phase, seems safe and feasible. The high rate of CR reported and the sustained freedom from progression up to now, makes such modality of treatment a valid option principally in relapsing FL patients. In our experience, the addition of a monoclonal antibody as part of treatment confirms its role “in vivo purging” without observing an increased incidence of infection.

Beeinflussung der menschlichen allergischen Immunantwort durch Allergen-DNA-transfizierte dendritische Zellen

Immunreaktionen gegen Antigene können eine zelluläre Immunantwort, eingeleitet durch TH1-Zellen induzieren oder aber eine antikörpervermittelte humorale Immunantwort induzieren, die von Zellen des TH2-Typs bestimmt sind. Diese unterschiedlichen Immunreaktionen regulieren sich gegenseitig, indem sie sich wechselseitig unterdrücken. Dadurch stellt sich ein Gleichgewicht zwischen den TH1- und TH2-Immunantworten ein. Die Allergie vom Soforttyp ist TH2-dominiert und wird ausgelöst durch die Produktion spezifischer IgE-Antikörper gegen eigentlich harmlose Antigene. Durch die frühe Ausschüttung des Zytokins IL-4 von T-Zellen differenzieren naive allergenspezifische T-Zellen zu TH2-Zellen aus. Diese sezernieren dann ebenfalls IL-4 und auch IL-13, was die B-Zellen zu einer vermehrten Produktion von IgE-Molekülen stimuliert. IgE bindet an den hochaffinen IgE-Rezeptor auf Mastzellen, Basophilen und Eosinophilen. Bei weiterem Allergenkontakt kommt es durch Kreuzvernetzung der Fc-Rezeptoren zur Ausschüttung vo

Influenza del sistema immunogenetico KIR nell'alloreattività Natural Killer nel trapianto di rene

Kidney transplantation is the best treatment option for the restoration of excretory and endocrine kidney function in patients with end-stage renal disease. The success of the transplant is linked to the genetic compatibility between donor and recipient, and upon progress in surgery and immunosuppressive therapy. Numerous studies have established the importance of innate immunity in transplantation tolerance, in particular natural killer (NK) cells represent a population of cells involved in defense against infectious agents and tumor cells. NK cells express on their surface the Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) which, by recognizing and binding to MHC class I antigens, prevent the killing of autologous cells. In solid organ transplantation context, and in particular the kidney, recent studies show some correlation between the incompatibility KIR / HLA and outcome of transplantation so as to represent an interesting perspective, especially as regards setting of immunosuppressive therapy. The purpose of this study was therefore to assess whether the incompatibility between recipient KIR receptors and HLA class I ligands of the donor could be a useful predictor in order to improve the survival of the transplanted kidney and also to select patients who might benefit of a reduced regimen. One hundred and thirteen renal transplant patients from 1999 to 2005 were enrolled. Genomic DNA was extracted for each of them and their donors and genotyping of HLA A, B, C and 14 KIR genes was carried out. Data analysis was conducted on two case-control studies: one aimed at assessing the outcome of acute rejection and the other to assess the long term transplant outcome. The results showed that two genes, KIR2DS1 and KIR3DS1, are associated with the development of acute rejection (p = 0.02 and p = 0.05, respectively). The presence of the KIR2DS3 gene is associated with a better performance of serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (MDRD) over time (4 and 5 years after transplantation, p <0.05), while in the presence of ligand, the serum creatinine and MDRD trend seems to get worse in the long term. The analysis performed on the population, according to whether there was deterioration of renal function or not in the long term, showed that the absence of the KIR2DL1 gene is strongly associated with an increase of 20% of the creatinine value at 5 years, with a relative risk to having a greater creatinine level than the median 5-year equal to 2.7 95% (95% CI: 1.7788 - 2.6631). Finally, the presence of a kidney resulting negative for HLA-A3 / A11, compared to a positive result, in patients with KIR3DL2, showed a relative risk of having a serum creatinine above the median at 5 years after transplantation of 0.6609 (95% CI: 0.4529 -0.9643), suggesting a protective effect given to the absence of this ligand.

Untersuchung der zellulären Antwort von Tumor und Endothelium auf radioaktive Bestrahlung in vitro und in vivo

Tumore des Kopf-Hals Bereiches sprechen aufgrund schneller Resistenzbildung häufig schlecht auf die derzeit praktizierten Bestrahlungstherapien an. Der Erfolg dieser Behandlung wird dabei maßgeblich durch die Strahlenresistenz des malignen Gewebes limitiert. Das Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden zellulären und molekularen Mechanismen ist diesbezüglich unvollständig. Die Resistenzzunahme während der klinischen Behandlung könnte durch die Selektion strahlenresistenter Einzelzellen verursacht werden oder durch die Aktivierung von Resistenzmechanismen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die bestrahlungsvermittelte Freisetzung möglicherweise protektiv wirkender Faktoren durch Tumorzelllinien des Kopf-Hals Bereiches untersucht. Durch Bestrahlung erfolgte eine Induktion von VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) und FGF-2 (fibroblast growth factor 2), IL-8 (Interleukin-8) und PGE2 (Prostaglandin E2). Die Untersuchung von VEGF und FGF-2 zeigte weiterhin ein zytoprotektives Potential dieser Faktoren, d.h. die T

Charakterisierung von T-Zell-Antworten gegen humane Nierenzellkarzinome sowie Identifizierung von HLA-G als tumorassoziiertes Antigen und Immunevasionsmechanismus des Nierenzellkarzinoms

Humane Nierenzellkarzinom-(NZK)-Zelllinien wurden etabliert, um sie zur Generierung von autologen zytotoxischen T-Zelllinien einzusetzen. Erst nach Modifikation mit dem kostimulierenden B7-1-Molekül wurden mit der NZK-Zelllinie MZ1257RC autologe, tumorspezifische T-Zelllinien generiert und charakterisiert. Die Aufklärung eines T-Zell-definierten TAA eines autologen, zytotoxischen T Zellklons wurde mittels Expressionsklonierung einer hergestellten cDNS-Expressionsbank begonnen. Nach in vitro-Sensibilisierung von peripheren Blutmonozyten mit der autologen NZK-Zelllinie MZ2733RC wurde die HLA-Klasse I-restringierte T Zelllinie XIE6 generiert, die die autologe und verschiedene allogene NZK- sowie Zervixkarzinom-Zelllinien, jedoch nicht autologe Nierenzellen lysiert. Die T Zellen exprimieren TZR Vβ13.6-Ketten und sezernieren GM-CSF und IL-10 nach Antigenstimulation. Jedoch ist die NZK-Zelllinie MZ2733RC wenig sensitiv gegenüber autologen und allogenen Effektorzellen. Erst die Blockade ihrer HLA Klasse I-Moleküle auf der Zelloberfläche erhöht ihre Sensitivität gegenüber allogenen lymphokin-aktivierten Killer-Zellen. Verantwortlich dafür können nicht-klassische HLA Klasse Ib-Moleküle, insbesondere HLA-G sein, dessen Transkripte in der RNS der NZK-Zellen, jedoch nicht in Nierenzellen detektiert wurden. In einer detaillierten Studie wurden HLA-G-Transkripte in NZK-Zelllinien (58%), in NZK-Biopsien (80%), und nur in wenigen Nierenepithelbiopsien (10%) nachgewiesen. In der NZK-Zelllinie MZ2733RC wurde eine konstitutive HLA-G1-Proteinexpression beobachtet, die durch eine IFN-γ-Behandlung induzierbar ist.
