RESEARCH ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I have been serving as the Head of the Stem Cell Transplantation Unit (Rambam Health Care
Campus) since 2006. To date, more than 2300 stem cell transplants (approximately 150
transplantations per year) have been performed. During this period, I developed the Intensive Care
Unit for hematological patients. My main interests have been focusing on both clinical and basic
research related to hematological malignancies and stem cell transplantation. Initiation of multiple
clinical studies performed at the Unit became possible owing to the establishment of a large detailed
database specifically developed for these purposes.
1. Leukemia Research
Two years ago, I established the Leukemia Research Laboratory (Clinical Research Institute at
Rambam) focusing on the investigation of the heterogeneity of acute leukemia employing the
unique approach of single leukemic cell analysis and the contribution of the microenvironment to
leukemic initiation and propagation.
Acute leukemia in adults is characterized by complete response to initial therapy in the majority of
patients; however, most often this is followed by relapse. It has been recently appreciated that acute
leukemia is a genetically heterogenic disease with significant inter-patient variability. We have
demonstrated that there is also significant intra-patient variability. Using single-cell analysis, we
were able to show that with segregation of the tumor into single cells, we can identify
subpopulations with a specific genetic profile that was not detected by conventional bulk DNA
analysis. These findings have implications not only on choosing the right combinational therapy,
but also on understanding the order of acquisition of mutations [Ref 10, Basic Research].
Additionally, adopting strategies from the investigation of population analysis, we were able to
demonstrate significant heterogeneity in the replication rate between different leukemias, where in
some the origin comes from a rarely dividing leukemic stem cell, while in others microsatellite
instability is operating [Ref 9, Basic Research]. We have currently received a grant dedicated to the
in-depth genetic analysis of 23 common AML mutations in each single cell. This will be coupled
with construction of a phylogenetic tree of each cell at diagnosis and relapse. Additionally, the
results of our study designed to evaluate the association of leukemic cells with bone marrow stroma
(i.e., the microenvironment) have been recently published [Ref. 11, Basic Research]. To conduct the
above studies, the generation of leukemic clones from single cells is needed. In collaboration with
Prof. Uri Sivan from the Faculty of Physics at the Technion, we have generated a nano-device
41
capable of entrapping single cells and growing them to colonies. This device is developed with the
aid of the Magneton grant.
2. Clinical Research on Infectious Complications in Stem Cell Transplantation/Lymphoma
The association of chronic infections (viral, bacterial) and the development of lymphoma was
reported in the early 1990s. We were among the first groups describing the association between
lymphoma and chronic hepatitis C infection and its implication on lymphoma treatment [Refs 2-5;
Ref 7, Clinical Research]. Additionally, in recent years we have focused on the occurrence of
resistant bacteria in transplant patients and an innovative approach to its eradication [Refs 29-32,
Clinical Research]. We have also investigated the radiographic appearance [Ref 11, Clinical
Research] and early detection [Ref 32, Clinical Research] and treatment [Ref 7, Clinical Research]
of lung Aspergillosis in transplanted patients as well as management of viral infections in this
patient population [Refs 28, 29, Clinical Research].
3. Clinical Research in Stem Cell Transplantation and Leukemia
The successful outcome of stem cell transplantation depends on many variables, including risk-
adapted approach to patient selection, type of transplant, appropriate conditioning, post-transplant
immune intervention, and early detection and treatment of transplant-related complications.
An innovative approach to stem cell transplantation in chronic leukemia with immune intervention
tailored based on individual risk stratification was developed at the Rambam SCT Unit [Ref 16,
Clinical Research]. The role of autologous stem cell transplantation in favorable leukemia was
studied and the findings were presented at the international conference [Abst 57]. Safety of SCT for
elderly patients was recently demonstrated [Abst 51]. Studies assessing fertility issues in SCT [Ref
13 & Ref 17, Clinical Research], novel mode of therapy for pulmonary hemorrhage developing post
SCT [Ref 12, Clinical Research], and pharmacokinetics of agents administered during
transplantation and influence of the genetic polymorphism on drug metabolism [Ref 21 & Ref 24,
Clinical Research] and their association with SCT complications [Ref 18, Clinical Research] have
been conducted. GVHD is a major obstacle to successful stem cell transplantation and is associated
with significant morbidity and mortality. Pre-transplant prediction of GVHD may allow early
intervention. Recently, we were able to show that semaphorin 3A expression on patient and donor
regulatory cells could predict its occurrence. This project is planned to continue on a larger scale
with in-depth search for possible mechanisms of involvement of regulatory T cells in protection
against GVHD with potential implications for early intervention. Additionally, several phase I/II
studies are underway looking at pre-apoptotic signaling to prevent GVHD [Ref 23, Clinical
42
Research & Abst. 52]. Treatment of GVHD is a composite challenge. The use of mesenchymal cells
[Ref 20] as possible GVHD treatment has been assessed, and we are now launching a new study in
collaboration with Prof. Karin (Immunology Department, Rappaport Faculty of Medicine,
Technion) examining the role of CCL-1 chemokine and CCL1-Ig as a possible drug for the
treatment of GVHD. I have been an initiator and principal investigator of a phase I study using Fas-
L exposure of stem cell harvest aiming to ameliorate acute GVHD [Absts 56, 60, 70, 85]. In an
attempt to overcome poor graft function, I serve as the Israeli principal investigator of the
international phase I study employing post-transplant application of mesenchymal stem cells for this
purpose.
In the area of acute leukemia, I am one of the initiators and principal investigator of preclinical
studies of the novel therapeutic agent BST-236 for AML, which has led to completion of phase I/IIa
study and launching an international phase II study. Data were presented as an oral presentation at
the 59th
annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology [Abst 74].
Due to my extensive experience in the fields of acute leukemia and stem cell transplantation, I was
invited to write book chapters and reviews that were published over the years in peer-reviewed
journals [Ref 1-11]. In the prestigious ongoing series of "How I Treat …" in the Blood Journal, I
have addressed the issue of treatment for hematologic emergencies in adults with acute leukemia
[Ref 3].
