Ex Vivo Expanded Human Non-Cytotoxic CD8+CD45RClow/- Tregs Efficiently Delay Skin Graft Rejection and GVHD in Humanized Mice.


ABSTRACT: Both CD4+ and CD8+ Tregs play a critical role in the control of immune responses and immune tolerance; however, our understanding of CD8+ Tregs is limited while they are particularly promising for therapeutic application. We report here existence of highly suppressive human CD8+CD45RClow/- Tregs expressing Foxp3 and producing IFN?, IL-10, IL-34, and TGF? to mediate their suppressive activity. We demonstrate that total CD8+CD45RClow/- Tregs can be efficiently expanded in the presence of anti-CD3/28 mAbs, high-dose IL-2 and IL-15 and that such expanded Tregs efficiently delay GVHD and human skin transplantation rejection in immune humanized mice. Robustly expanded CD8+ Tregs displayed a specific gene signature, upregulated cytokines and expansion in the presence of rapamycin greatly improved proliferation and suppression. We show that CD8+CD45RClow/- Tregs are equivalent to canonical CD4+CD25highCD127low/- Tregs for suppression of allogeneic immune responses in vitro. Altogether, our results open new perspectives to tolerogenic strategies in human solid organ transplantation and GVHD.
