Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with both graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects. In clinical studies of HLA-mismatched HSCT, strong GVL effects have been reported. In the present study, we addressed the mechanism of the GVL and GVH response using MHC-haploidentical murine bone marrow transplantation (BMT) models. Recipient BDF1 (H-2(b/d)) mice received T cell-depleted bone marrow and spleen cells from B6C3F1 (H-2(b/k)) or C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) mice with or without P815 mastocytoma cells (H-2(d)) after receiving lethal total body irradiation. B6C3F1 --> BDF1 (hetero-to-hetero type) recipients showed more powerful antileukemic effects with less severe GVHD than C57BL/6 --> BDF1 (parent-to-F1 type) recipients. Compared with C57BL/6 --> BDF1 recipients, significantly higher in vitro cytotoxic activity against P815 cells was observed in B6C3F1 --> BDF1 recipients. Significantly lower CXCR3 expression on donor T cells and higher interferon (IFN)-gamma expression were considered to be associated with strong antileukemic effects with less severe GVHD in B6C3F1 --> BDF1 recipients. Furthermore, host immune cells, especially natural killer cells and CD8(+) T cells, were found to contribute remarkably to high IFN-gamma production in B6C3F1 --> BDF1 recipients. Thus, in MHC-haploidentical HSCT, host immune cells may change the balance between GVH and GVL response through IFN-gamma production.
