The role of heparin in autologous stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma
Background
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) has become the standard treatment modality for eligible multiple myeloma (MM) patients. One of the most important parameters affecting the success of transplantation is the number of CD34+ stem cells collected. The most commonly used agents to facilitate the release of CD34+ stem cells into peripheral blood are granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and plerixafor. Heparin has also been shown to enhance the release of CD34+ stem cells into peripheral blood. We aimed to report the effect of heparin on the number of CD34+ stem cells in peripheral blood in MM patients who underwent aHSCT.
Materials and methods
This multicenter retrospective study analyzed 138 adult patients diagnosed with MM who underwent aHSCT. Patients were divided into two groups: those who received heparin (n = 108) and those who did not receive heparin before aHSCT (n = 30).
Results
The complete response, partial response, and very good partial response rates in the heparin group were 17 % (n = 18), 24 % (n = 26), and 59 % (n = 64), respectively. In the non-heparin group, 20 % of patients (n = 6) achieved complete response, while partial response and very good partial response rates were 33 % (n = 10) and 47 % (n = 14), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding obesity, ECOG performance scores, and smoking status (p = 0.399, 0.578, and 0.602, respectively). The number of collected CD34+ stem cells and the peak CD34+ stem cell count in peripheral blood were significantly higher in the heparin group compared to the control group (both p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Heparin has been shown to enhance the migration of CD34+ stem cells into peripheral blood and facilitate the peripheral stem cell collection process.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators'' viewpoint. Another section is "What''s Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.
