Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor in allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: from graft-versus-host disease to the graft-versus-tumor effect

Abstract: Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a widely used treatment for a broad range of hematologic malignancies because of its graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect. Unfortunately, allo-HSCT is still associated with morbidity and mortality related to relapse and transplantation complications, namely graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). In an era of therapies specifically targeting molecular pathways, transcription factors, and cytokines, a better understanding of GVHD physiopathology is essential for the development of new therapeutic approaches. In this review, we outline the current knowledge of the role of granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in allo-HSCT. We first discuss the biology of GM-CSF and its signaling pathways, with a focus on the main producing cells, T cells. We discuss recent preclinical studies pointing to a pivotal role of GM-CSF in GVHD, in particular gastrointestinal GVHD. We then summarize the potential role of GM-CSF in the GVT effect, discussing some potential strategies for exploiting GM-CSF in the context of allo-HSCT
