Abstract

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow cells. This disease is characterized by aberrant uncontrolled proliferation of white blood cells that leads to further mutation and poor cell function. hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (a type of graft) is a method used to treat leukemia however graft-versus -host disease (GVHD) is a major complication observed. GVHD is caused when the "graft cells" from the donor attack the recipient's cells in an allogeneic reaction. The reaction causes tissue damage that leads to gastrointestinal, skin, liver and/or lungs disease.GVHD has an incidence of 30-60% and a mortality of 50 to 70%. lmmunosuppressive drugs are usually administered when patients present with the first symptoms. Unfortunately the long-term use of these types of drugs, such as steroids, cause severe side effect and could lead to secondary complications, including cancer relapse. Moreover the immune suppression prevents the positive effect of the allogeneic reaction, called the graft-versus tumor or leukemia response (GVL). In clinic and the lab the use of immune therapy is being explored as an alternative and probably hold the most promise. These treatments specifically target the destructive components of the immune response induced during GVH D but allow for GVL. For example they target destructive pro-inflammatory molecules such as the cytokines: IL-2 and TNF alpha. Another cytokine that has gained interest is IL-27. GVI ID in mice was completely blocked by suppressing IL-27 in mice using an antibody against this cytokine. lt still needs to be determined if IL-27 would be a newtherapeutic target in humans. La leucémie est un cancer du sang qui atteint les cellules de la moelle osseuse. Cette pathologie conduit à une augmentation incontrôlée du nombre de globules blancs qui ne seront plus capables d'exercer leur rôle. La greffe de moelle est une façon de traiter les leucémies mais la réaction de greffon contre l'hôte ou GVHD (graft-versus-host disease) est une complication majeure observée. La GVHD a lieu lorsque les 'cellules greffées' du donneur attaquent les cellules du receveur dans une réaction allogénique. Son incidence est de 30 à 60 % avec un taux de mortalité de 50 à 70 %. Elle peut également s'accompagner de très nombreuses complications, comme des lésions gastro-intestinales, cutanées, hépatiques ou pulmonaires. Dans le but de réduire la fréquence des complications, avant la perfusion de cellules souches, on administre aux patients des immunosuppresseurs. Ce n'est pas toujours suffisant, on a alors recours à d'autres traitements comme les stéroïdes. Malheureusement, l'utilisation à long terme de ce type de médicament peut causer de graves effets secondaires et pourrait conduire à des complications secondaires comme la rechute du cancer. De même, la suppression immunitaire empêche l'effet positif de la réaction allogénique, appelée graft-versus leukemia (ou GVL). En clinique et en laboratoire, l'utilisation de la thérapie immunitaire est envisagée comme une alternative très prometteuse. Ces traitements ciblent spécifiquement les éléments destructeurs de la réponse immunitaire induite lors de GVHD et permettent l'apparition du GVL. Par exemple, ils ciblent des molécules pro-inflammatoires destructives comme les cytokines IL-2 et TNF­ alpha. Une cytokine qui a également suscité un intérêt particulier est IL-27. La GVHD chez les souris a complétement été bloquée par la suppression de IL-27 en utilisant un anticorps dirigé contre cette cytokine. Il faut encore approfondir l'utilisation d'inhibiteurs de IL-27, cette cytokine s'avérant être une nouvelle cible thérapeutique chez l'homme.
