Abstract

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) refers to a constellation of adverse immune responses resulting in tissue destruction following hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation. Through a complex network of priming and activation events, immune-competent T cells residing in the transplanted tissue (the graft) become stimulated, migrate into target organs, and mediate immune destruction of the recipient’s healthy tissue (the host). Paradoxically, this immune activation can also eradicate residual leukemic cells, when hematopoietic stem cell transplantation occurs in the context of hematological malignancies, resulting in a beneficial graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. The Notch family of transmembrane receptors functions in many aspects of immune responses, including those that mediate GVHD. Here we will review the complex nature of GVHD and how Notch signaling may play a prominent role during the initiation and progression of the disease.
