Tregs prevent GVHD and promote immune reconstitution in HLA-haploidentical transplantation

TLDR
It is shown for the first time in humans that adoptive transfer of Tregs prevented GVHD in the absence of any posttransplantation immunosuppression, promoted lymphoid reconstitution, improved immunity to opportunistic pathogens, and did not weaken the graft-versus-leukemia effect.

Interleukin-2 and Regulatory T Cells in Graft-versus-Host Disease

TL;DR: Daily low-dose interleukin-2 was safely administered in patients with active chronic GVHD that was refractory to glucocorticoid therapy and was associated with preferential, sustained Treg cell expansion in vivo and amelioration of the manifestations of chronic GvHD in a substantial proportion of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

tTregs, pTregs, and iTregs: Similarities and Differences

TL;DR: Novel systems in which the function of Tregs can be evaluated in vivo in normal mice are developed and one prominent mechanism of action of polyclonal tTregs is to inhibit T‐effector cell trafficking to the target organ, while antigen‐specific iTregs primarily prevent T‐cell priming by acting on antigen‐presenting dendritic cells (DCs).

Regulatory immune cells in transplantation

TL;DR: The leukocyte populations that can promote immune tolerance after cell or solid-organ transplantation are discussed, including regulatory T cells, B cells and macrophages, as well as myeloid-derived suppressor cells, dendritic cells and mesenchymal stromal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homeostatic control of regulatory T cell diversity.

TL;DR: It is highlighted how differing local milieu might drive context-specific TReg cell function and restoration of immune homeostasis, and how dysregulation of these processes can precipitate disease.

Administration of CD4+CD25highCD127− Regulatory T Cells Preserves β-Cell Function in Type 1 Diabetes in Children

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that the infusion of autologous Tregs prolongs remission in recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes in children and is safe and tolerable in children with recent-onset type 2 diabetes.

Effectiveness of Donor Natural Killer Cell Alloreactivity in Mismatched Hematopoietic Transplants

TL;DR: It is shown that donor-versus-recipient natural killer (NK)–cell alloreactivity could eliminate leukemia relapse and graft rejection and protect patients against GVHD in human transplants and in mice, the pretransplant infusion of alloreactive NK cells obviated the need for high-intensity conditioning and reduced GV HD.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells preserve graft-versus-tumor activity while inhibiting graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplantation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in host mice with leukemia and lymphoma, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells suppress the early expansion of alloreactive donor T cells, their interleukin-2-receptor (IL-2R) α-chain expression and their capacity to induce GVHD without abrogating their GVT effector function, mediated primarily by the perforin lysis pathway.

Treatment of high-risk acute leukemia with T-cell-depleted stem cells from related donors with one fully mismatched HLA haplotype.

TL;DR: The main limitations of transplantation of bone marrow from donors who are matched with the recipient for only one HLA haplotype GVHD and graft failure - can be overcome.

Donor-type CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells Suppress Lethal Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease after Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the balance of donor-type CD4+CD25+ Treg and conventional CD4-CD25− T cells can determine the outcome of aGVHD, and the addition of the Treg cells at a 1:1 ratio with responder/inducer CD4+.

The infusion of ex vivo activated and expanded CD4(+)CD25(+) immune regulatory cells inhibits graft-versus-host disease lethality.

TL;DR: This study is the first to demonstrate that activated, cultured CD4(+)CD25(+) cells can offer substantial protection in a relevant in vivo animal model of disease and have important ramifications for clinical bone marrow and solid organ transplantation.
