This $758,539 Project Grant, awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The Leland Stanford Junior University, aims to identify the mechanistic pathways leading to the generation and release of dysfunctional mitochondria during pre-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) conditioning. The goal is to discover new therapeutic targets to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a leading cause of non-relapse mortality following HSCT. The research will: 1) define novel mechanisms mediating impairments in mitochondrial dynamics and extracellular mitochondrial content secondary to conditioning; 2) use single cell approaches to characterize how impairments in mitochondrial dynamics impact the immune cell response following conditioning for HSCT; and 3) determine the impact of altered mitochondrial dynamics on hematopoietic stem cell function following transplant. This research is expected to provide the foundation for a new class of therapeutics beneficial for the prevention of GVHD and other inflammatory disorders.
