Compared to conventional drug therapy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) 3 can induce very long-term remission in refractory lupus patients. Herein, we show that in post-transplant patients, both CD4+CD25highFoxP3+, and an unusual CD8+FoxP3+ Treg subset return to levels seen in normal subjects; accompanied by almost complete inhibition of pathogenic T cell response to critical peptide autoepitopes from histones in nucleosomes, the major lupus autoantigen from apoptotic cells. In addition to a stably sustained elevation of FoxP3, post-transplant CD8 T cells also maintained markedly higher expression levels of LAP, CD103, PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4, as compared to pre-transplant CD8 T cells that were identically treated by a one-time activation and rest in short-term culture. The post-transplant CD8 Treg cells have autoantigen-specific and nonspecific suppressive activity, which is contact-independent and predominantly TGF-β-dependent. By contrast, the pre-transplant CD8 T cells have helper activity, which is cell-contact dependent. Although CD4+CD25high Treg cells are known to return during clinical “remission” of conventional drug treated lupus, the post-transplant patient's CD8 Treg are considerably more potent, and they are absent in drug treated patients in whom CD4 T cell autoreactivity to nucleosomal epitopes persists even during “clinical remission”. Therefore, unlike conventional drug therapy, HSCT generates a newly differentiated population of LAPhighCD103high CD8TGF-β Treg cells, which repairs the Treg deficiency in human lupus to maintain patients in true immunological remission.
