Impact of interventional strategies on DCs and outcome in experimental HSCT

MechanismTherapyGVHD model; treatmentEffect on DCs*Effect on GVHDReference
HDAC inhibition SAHA or ITF2357 MHC-mismatched BALB/c → B6; TNF-α, IL-12, and IL-6 secretion ↓ Survival ↑ 104  
  Host type DCs pretreated with HDAC inhibitor infused days −1, 0, and 2 CD40/CD80/CD86 expression ↓ Clinical score ↓  
   Allogeneic T-cell proliferation ↓ (in vitro/in vivo) Serum TNF-α ↓  
    Preserved GVL  

 
Proteasome inhibition Bortezomib MHC-mismatched BALB/c → B6; Response to maturation signals ↓ Survival ↑ with early treatment 108  
  Early (days 0-2) versus late (days 6-8) treatment MHC class II, CD40/CD80/CD83/CD86 expression ↓ Survival ↓ with late treatment  
   Apoptosis ↑ Preserved GVL  
   Allogeneic T-cell proliferation ↓   

 
NF-κB inhibition RelB−/− BM chimera recipients MHC-mismatched BALB/c → B6 CD11chi DCs (cDCs) ↓ Survival ↑ 109  
   CD40/CD80/CD86 expression unchanged Clinical score ↓  
   IL-12, IL-6, TNF-α secretion ↓ (after CD40L)   
   CD4+ T-cell proliferation (in vitro/vivo); cytokine secretion ↓ (in vitro)   
   No difference PDCA-1+ DCs (pDCs), Treg (in vivo)   
 RelB−/− BM chimera donor MHC-mismatched B6 → B6D2F1  Late (> 3 wks) survival ↑ and clinical score ↓
