HSCT outcome in relation to DC analyses

Patient populationDC measurementOutcomeReference
Allo-HSCT (n = 49) Total PB DC count at engraftment < 4.97 cells/μL Survival ↓ 64  
92% PBSCT; 73% MAC  Relapse and aGVHD ↑  
 Low PB mDCs (CD11c+) at engraftment Survival ↓  
  Relapse and aGVHD ↑  
 Low PB pDCs (CD123+) at engraftment aGVHD ↑  
 Graft DC or DC count before transplant No association with death/relapse  

 
Allo-HSCT (n = 30) Higher PB pDCs (BDCA-2+) > day 100 (donor) cGVHD ↑ 83  
63% PBSCT; 83% MAC    

 
Allo-HSCT (n = 24) Higher total PB host DCs day 100 Survival ↓ 84

Allo-HSCT (n = 40) Low total PB DC, mDC (CD11c+), and pDC (CD123hi) counts GVHD severity ↑ 85  
90% PBSCT; 52% RIC > 7.9% CMRF-44+ CD11c+ DCs aGVHD ↑ (sensitivity, 87.5%; specificity, 79.2%)  
 CD83+/CD86+ CD11c+ DCs No association with aGVHD  

 
Allo-HSCT (n = 69) Graft pDC (CD123+) > 2.3 × 106/kg Relapse ↑ 63

PBSCT indicates peripheral blood stem cell transplant; EFS, event-free survival; ILT3, immunoglobulin-like transcript 3; and NRM, nonrelapse mortality.
