Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are critical for self-tolerance. While adoptive transfer of expanded Tregs limits graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), ex vivo generation of large numbers of functional Tregs remains difficult. Here, we demonstrate that in vivo targeting of the TNF superfamily receptor TNFRSF25 using the TL1A-Ig fusion protein, along with IL-2, resulted in transient but massive Treg expansion in donor mice, which peaked within days and was nontoxic. Tregs increased in multiple compartments, including blood, lymph nodes, spleen and colon (a GVHD target tissue). Tregs did not expand in bone marrow, a critical site for graft-versus-malignancy (GVM) responses. Adoptive transfer of in vivo expanded Tregs in the setting of MHC-mismatched or MHC-matched allo-HSCT significantly ameliorated GVHD. Critically, transplant of Treg expanded donor cells facilitated transplant tolerance without GVHD, with complete sparing of GVM. This approach may prove valuable as a therapeutic strategy promoting transplantation tolerance.
