ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate the curative effect and safety of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSC) to treat acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) of children after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). HUCMSC were isolated and cultured by collagenase digestion and passage culture. The 3rd to the 5th passage of hUCMSC were used for clinical treatment. Five cases of children acute leukemia achieved complete remission after chemotherapy. Two cases received HLA 3/6 loci matched haploidentical bone marrow HSCT. One case received HLA-matched sibling bone marrow and peripheral blood HSCT. One case received unrelated HLA 4/6 loci matched umbilical cord blood HSCT. One case received unrelated HLA 5/6 loci matched umbilical cord blood HSCT. The children received immunosuppressive therapy after III-IV aGVHD occurring. They received 0.5×10(6)/kg hUCMSC infusion when conventional therapy was ineffective. The results showed that 5 cases of children acute leukemia achieved hematopoietic reconstitution and developed the III-IV grade aGVHD. The five cases of children were infused with hUCMSC. The rash subsided, the liver function was normalized and the gastrointestinal symptoms were improved. The infusion-related adverse reaction did not happen. At present, the 5 children are in remission. It is concluded that allogeneic HSCT is an effective therapeutic method for children with acute leukemia. HUCMSC infusion can be safely and effectively used for the treatment of refractory aGVHD.
