STUDY QUESTION: Does dexamethasone (DXM) incubation avoid the reintroduction of leukemic malignant cells after ovarian tissue retransplantation in vivo?.
SUMMARY ANSWER: DXM incubation prior to retransplantation of ovarian tissue does not prevent reintroduction of leukemic cells.
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Retransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian cortex from patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) involves a risk of reintroducing malignant cells. DXM treatment is effective at inducing leukemic cell death in vitro.
STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: This was an experimental study where ovarian cortex fragments from patients with ALL were randomly allocated to incubation with or without DXM (n = 11/group) and grafted to 22 immunodeficient mice for 6 months. In a parallel experiment, 22 immunodeficient mice were injected i.p. with varying amounts of RCH-ACV ALL cells (human leukemia cell line) and maintained for 4 months.
PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Cryopreserved ovarian fragments from patients with ALL were exposed in vitro to 0.4 μM DXM or basal media (control) prior to xenograft into ovariectomized severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice (experiment 1). After 6 months of monitoring, leukemia cell contamination was assessed in ovarian grafts and mouse organs by histology, PCR (presence of mouse mtDNA and absence of p53 were together considered a negative result for the presence of human cells) and detection of immunoglobulin monoclonality and specific ALL markers if present in the patient.In experiment 2, a series of 22 immunodeficient female mice was injected with specific doses of the leukemia cell line RCH-ACV (103 - 5 × 106, n = 4/group) to assess the engraftment competence of the SCID model.
MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: ALL metastatic cells were detected, by PCR, in five DXM-treated and one control human ovarian tissue graft as well as in a control mouse liver, although malignant cell infiltration was not detected by histology in any sample after 6 months. In total, minimal residual disease was present in three DXM-treated and three control mice.RCH-ACV cells were detected in liver and spleen samples after the injection of as little as 103 cells, although only animals receiving 5 × 106 cells developed clinical signs of disease and metastases.
LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: This is an experimental study where the malignant potential of leukemic cells contained in human ovarian tissues has been assessed in immunodeficient mice.
WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: These results indicate that DXM incubation prior to retransplantation of ovarian tissue does not prevent reintroduction of leukemic cells. Therefore, caution should be taken in retransplanting ovarian tissue from patients with leukemia until safer systems are developed, as leukemic cells present in ovarian grafts were able to survive, proliferate and migrate after cryopreservation and xenograft.
