Cytokine dysregulation and acute graft-versus-host disease
JH Antin and JL Ferrara
Division of Hematology-Oncology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA
02115.
We suggest that acute GVHD after marrow transplantation reflects (1) host
injury due to the conditioning regimen followed by the production of
inflammatory cytokines; (2) stimulation of mature donor T cells in the
milieu of increased cell surface expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules
and HLA molecules, followed by the autocrine production of IL- 2; and,
finally, (3) recruitment and activation of additional mononuclear effector
cells from donor marrow progenitors, which produce additional inflammatory
cytokines, thus sustaining the response. The second step is critical for
the amplification of the systemic inflammatory response, and it is absence
in autologous, syngeneic, and T-cell-depleted transplants. These T cells
may also contribute to the inflammatory cytokine network. Acute GVHD can
occur in the absence of primary tissue injury in such settings as
transfusion-related GVHD; however, it is likely that a greater HLA
disparity between donor and host is required. We propose that inflammatory
cytokine production is the final common pathway of acute GVHD. If this
model is correct, control of cytokine dysregulation at any of several
points should control GVHD. Further studies of GVHD and investigations of
cytokine antagonists (eg, IL-4 or IL-10) or combinations of antagonists
such as IL-1ra and soluble TNF receptor or pentoxifylline will allow us to
determine the validity of this hypothesis.
