The infusion of autograft absolute lymphocyte count (A-ALC) and autograft natural killer cells (A-NKC) are prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and PFS in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (APBHSCT). The human monocytic CD14HLA-DR cells are associated with worse prognosis in NHL. Thus, we investigated whether the autograft A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR ratio predicts survival in NHL. In a total of 111 NHL patients, we analyzed apheresis collection samples for the content of A-NKC and A-CD14HLA-DR. With a median follow-up of 57.2 months (range: 2.1-84.6 months), patients with an A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR ratio of ⩾0.29 experienced superior OS (5-year OS rates of 84% (95% confidence interval (CI), 72-91%) vs 48% (95% CI, 34-62%), P<0.0002, respectively) and PFS (5-year PFS rates of 59% (95% CI, 47-71%) vs 32% (95% CI, 20-48%), P<0.002, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR ratio was an independent predictor for PFS (hazard ratio (HR)=0.56, 95% CI, 0.32-0.96, P<0.03) and OS (HR=0.34, 95% CI, 0.16-0.68, P<0.002). The A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR ratio provides a platform to target specific autograft immune effector cells to improve clinical outcomes in NHL patients undergoing APBHSCT.
输注自体绝对淋巴细胞计数(A-ALC)和自体自然杀伤细胞(A-NKC)是接受自体外周血造血干细胞移植(APBHSCT)的非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)患者总生存(OS)和无进展生存(PFS)的预后因素。人类单核细胞 CD14HLA-DR 细胞与 NHL 的预后较差相关。因此,我们研究了自体 A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR 比值是否可预测 NHL 患者的生存情况。在总共 111 例 NHL 患者中,我们分析了采集样本中 A-NKC 和 A-CD14HLA-DR 的含量。中位随访时间为 57.2 个月(范围:2.1-84.6 个月),A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR 比值 ⩾0.29 的患者具有更好的 OS(5 年 OS 率分别为 84%(95%置信区间(CI),72-91%)和 48%(95%CI,34-62%),P<0.0002)和 PFS(5 年 PFS 率分别为 59%(95%CI,47-71%)和 32%(95%CI,20-48%),P<0.002)。多变量分析显示,A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR 比值是 PFS(风险比(HR)=0.56,95%CI,0.32-0.96,P<0.03)和 OS(HR=0.34,95%CI,0.16-0.68,P<0.002)的独立预测因素。A-NKC/A-CD14HLA-DR 比值为针对特定自体免疫效应细胞提供了一个平台,可改善接受 APBHSCT 的 NHL 患者的临床结局。
