Background: Circulating endothelial cells (CECs), originated form endothelial progenitors (EPCs) are mature cells not associated with vessel walls and detached from the endothelium. Normally, they are present in insignificant amounts in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. On the other hand, elevated CECs and EPCs levels have been reported in the peripheral blood of patients with different types of cancers and other diseases. Objective: This review aims to provide an overview on the characterization of CECs and EPCs, to describe isolation methods and to identify the potential role of these cells in hematological diseases and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: We performed a detailed search of peer-reviewed literature using keywords related to CECs, EPCs, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and hematological diseases (hemoglobinopathies, hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma, acute leukemia, myeloproliferative syndromes, chronic lymphocytic leukemia). Results: CECs and EPCs are potential biomarkers for several clinical conditions involving endothelial turnover and remodeling, such as in hematological diseases. These cells may be involved in disease progression and in the neoplastic process. Moreover, CECs and EPCs are probably involved in endothelial damage which is a marker of several complications following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Conclusion: This review provides information about the role of CECs and EPCs in hematological malignancies and shows their implication in predicting disease activity as well as improving HSCT outcomes.

Renal Complications

Abstract Background and Aims The aim of the study is to investigate the incidence and risk factors of hypertension (HT) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients who had hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) during their childhood. Method Patients who had HSCT between January 2010-2019 with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months were included in the study. Data regarding renal complications were collected from the medical records of the patients. Guidelines of European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) were used for the evaluation of hypertension. 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed in children older than 5 years of age (68 patients). Ambulatory hypertension is diagnosed when systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure (BP) load is higher than 25%. Ambulatory prehypertension is diagnosed when mean systolic and/or diastolic BP is less than 95th percentile with systolic and/or diastolic BP load higher than 25%. Results A total of 72 patients (41 males and 31 females) were included in the study. The mean age of the patients at last visit was 10.8±4 years. ABPM revealed ambulatory HT in 6 patients (8.8%) and ambulatory prehypertension in 12 patients (17.6%). Office BP revealed HT in 3 patients (4.2%) and increased BP in four patients (5.6%) according to APA guideline (2017). In cohort, 12 patients with normal office BP (according to APA guideline) had ambulatory prehypertension or hypertension with ABPM. Office BP revealed HT in 1 patient (1.4%) and high-normal BP in 3 patients (4.2%) according to ESH guideline. In cohort, 15 patients with normal office BP (according to ESH guideline) had ambulatory prehypertension or hypertension with ABPM (Table 1). After a mean follow-up period of 4.4±2.5 years, CKD developed in 8 patients (11.1%). Patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease, with HLA-mismatched HSCT and/or transplantation of peripheric or cord blood hematopoietic stem cells had increased risk of CKD (p=0.041, p=0.033 and p=0.002, respectively). Conclusion Patients with HSCT should be regularly followed for the development of HT and ABPM should be used on regular basis. Patients with risk factors should be closely monitored for the development of CKD.
