Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the essence of immune cell transplantation, its curative effect mainly depends on graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect, but its accompanying graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can increase mortality and affect the therapeutic efficacy. Until now, researchers have proposed a variety of ways to reduce GVHD but enhance or maintain GVL. However, these methods have their own advantages, disadvantages and controversial points. So their relationship and separation methods still need further studies.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the current status of research about separation methods of GVHD and GVL after allo-HSCT.
METHODS: Using “hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, graft versus leukemia, graft-versus-host disease, donor lymphocyte infusion, regulatory T cell, natural killer cell, mesenchymal stem cell” as key words, we retrieved Wanfang, CNKI and PubMed databases (2000-2016) by computer.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: We finally reviewed 41 literatures about enhancing GVL and reducing GVHD in recent years. At present, the relationship between GVHD and GVL, and their respective mechanisms are still unclear. There are many methods to separate GVHD and GVL, but these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The best solution has not yet been unified, and still needs further study.
