Infusion of recipient regulatory T cells (Treg) promotes durable mixed hematopoietic chimerism and allograft tolerance in mice receiving allogeneic BMT with minimal conditioning. We applied this strategy in a Cynomolgus macaque model. CD4+CD25high Treg that were polyclonally expanded in culture were highly suppressive in vitro and maintained high expression of FoxP3. Eight monkeys underwent nonmyeloablative conditioning and MHC-mismatched BMT with or without Treg infusion. Renal transplantation (from the same BMT donor) was performed 4 months post-BMT without immunosuppression to assess for robust donor-specific tolerance. Transient mixed chimerism, without significant T cell chimerism, was achieved in the animals that received BMT without Treg (N=3). In contrast, the 2 of 5 recipients of Treg + BMT that were evaluable displayed chimerism in all lineages, including T cells, for up to 335 days post-BMT. Importantly, in the animal that survived long-term, >90% of donor T cells were CD45RA+CD31+, suggesting they were new thymic emigrants. In this animal, the delayed (to 4 months) donor kidney graft was accepted >294 days without immunosuppression, whereas non-Treg BMT recipients rejected delayed donor kidneys within 3-4 weeks. Early cytomegalovirus reactivation and treatment was associated with early failure of chimerism, regardless of Treg administration. Our studies provide proof-of-principle that, in the absence of early CMV reactivation (and BM-toxic antiviral therapy), co-transplantation of host Treg can promote prolonged and high levels of multilineage allogeneic chimerism and robust tolerance to the donor.
