Outline of Final Research Achievements

Treatment of chronic GVHD, which influences prognosis after hematopoietic cell transplantation, has not yet been established. We have previously demonstrated that anti-inflammatory monocytes produce IL-10 in chronic GVHD and are involved in the repair of damaged target organs. There are inflammatory M1 type and anti - inflammatory type M2 type in macrophages. Using this M2 macrophage, a novel treatment for GVHD has developed. Two types of macrophages M1 and M2 were induced by culturing them with cytokines of GM-CSF and M-CSF from mouse bone marrow cells. In murine GVHD model, M2 macrophages reduced lethal GVHD and improved survival rate. Future clinical application has been expected.
