Soluble Hemojuvelin and Ferritin: Potential Prognostic Markers in Pediatric Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Objective: Iron overload (IO) is a common and life-threatening complication resulting from the therapy of AL and HCT patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of 12 serum biomarkers of iron metabolism in pediatric patients treated for AL or undergoing HCT. Patients: Overall, 50 pat...

description | Objective: Iron overload (IO) is a common and life-threatening complication resulting from the therapy of AL and HCT patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of 12 serum biomarkers of iron metabolism in pediatric patients treated for AL or undergoing HCT. Patients: Overall, 50 patients with AL after intensive treatment and 32 patients after HCT were prospectively included in the study. AL patients at diagnosis and healthy controls served as reference groups. Methods: The impact of the following 12 serum iron metabolism parameters on the outcome of AL/HCT patients was analyzed: iron, transferrin (Tf), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin, ferritin heavy chains (FTH1), ferritin light chains (FTL), hepcidin, soluble hemojuvelin (sHJV), soluble ferroportin-1 (sFPN1), erythroferrone (ERFE), erythropoietin (EPO), and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR). Results: With a median follow-up of 2.2 years, high levels of ferritin and low levels of sHJV had an adverse prognostic impact on OS and EFS in children after HCT. If these patients were combined with those with AL after intensive chemotherapy, the results were confirmed for OS and EFS both for ferritin and sHJV. Conclusions: Among the 12 analyzed serum parameters of iron metabolism, increased levels of ferritin and decreased levels of sHJV had an adverse prognostic impact on survival in children after HCT. More data are needed to clarify the relationship between ferritin, sHJV, and mortality of AL children after intensive chemotherapy, and more extensive prospective studies are required to prove sHJV predictivity. |
