The
granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (
G-CSF )
plays an important
role in regulating function of immunocytes in process of mobilizing
hematopoietic stem cells . The deep
understanding of the immunoregulatory effects of
G-CSF has important significance to improve the outcomes of
patients with
hematological malignancies after allogeneic
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation , included alleviating acute
graft-versus-host disease , maintaining or enhancing
graft -versus-
leukemia effects and decreasing the
relapse rates. In this article, the immunoregulatory effect of
G-CSF on
graft of peripheral
blood and
bone marrow , the immunoregulation of
G-CSF and allo-
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation , as well as the prospective trend of
research on immunoregulatory effects of
G-CSF were reviewed.
