The major obstacles to successful outcome after allogeneic bone
marrow transplantation (BMT) for leukemia remain graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and leukemic relapse. Improved survival after BMT therefore requires more effective GVHD prophylaxis that does not impair
graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects. We studied the administration of
human recombinant keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) in a well- characterized murine BMT model for its effects on GVHD. KGF
administration from day -3 to +7 significantly reduced GVHD mortality
and the severity of GVHD in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, reducing serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels, but preserving donor T-cell responses (cytotoxic T lymphocyte [CTL] activity, proliferation, and interleukin [IL]-2
production) to host antigens. When mice received lethal doses of P815
leukemia cells at the time of BMT, KGF treatment significantly
decreased acute GVHD compared with control-treated allogeneic mice and
resulted in a significantly improved leukemia-free survival (42%
v 4%, P < .001). KGF administration thus offers a
novel approach to the separation of GVL effects from GVHD.
