Abstract

CD34-positive monocytes (CD34+mono) have recently been identified in grafts mobilized by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor. We analyzed transplant outcomes of 73 patients whose donor’s peripheral blood cells were cryopreserved during mobilization. CD34+mono was detected more frequently in male donors (67% vs. 40%, P = 0.03), while the detection of CD34+mono in donors was not associated with the patient background. Although there was no significant difference in overall survival in the whole cohort, the detection of CD34+mono in donors were significantly associated with a decreased risk of non-relapse mortality (HR 0.23, P = 0.035). Fatal infectious events tended to be less frequent in donors with CD34+mono. Gene expression profile analyses of CD34+mono in humans revealed that the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL6, CCL3, IL8, VEGFA, and IL1A were elevated in CD34+mono, and those cytokines were enriched in the immune response, especially against infectious pathogens in the gene ontology analyses. In addition, the expression of CD83 was specifically increased in CD34+mono. It might play a role of antigen presentation in the immune network, leading in a clinical benefit against infections. Further investigations will be required to confirm the biological functions and clinical roles of CD34+mono in transplantation.
