Background. We update more favorable 10-year deceased donor kidney transplant survival in 63 recipients infused perioperatively with donor vertebral body bone marrow (DBMC-i) vs. 219 noninfused controls having equivalent immunosuppression and demographics. We questioned if this was associated with putatively regulatory FoxP3 mRNA and cell phenotypes (CD4(+)CD25(+high) percentages and high DC2:DC1 ratios) in DBMC-i vs. noninfused controls.Methods. Baseline studies were performed on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) vs. marrow in normal laboratory volunteers of CD4(+)CD25(+high) percentages and DC2:DC1 by flow cytometry, and FoxP3 mRNA in CD3(+) cells by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Similar studies were performed on PBL of the majority of the 10-year patients remaining with graft function: 21 (of the remaining 37) DBMC-i vs. 55 (of the remaining 105) controls.Results. In normal subjects, all parameters were significantly higher in marrow than in PBL, supporting our previous reports of ex vivo DBMC immunoregulation. At 9.8 +/- .02 years posttransplant in DBMC-i vs. controls, death-censored percent graft failure was 17.5% vs. 32.9% (P= 0.02) with 247.6 +/- 24 vs. 79.9 +/- 3.1 (mean +/- SE) FoxP3 copies/5,000 CD3(+) cells (P= 0.0001). PBL CD4(+) CD25(+high) percentages were lower, but DC2:DC1 values higher in both recipient groups than in end-stage renal disease patients who had lower FoxP3 levels (40.8 +/- 5.9, P < 0.0001), consistent with non-CD4(+) CD25(+high) T regulatory cells generated long-term posttransplant. Individual higher FoxP3 values correlated with higher iliac crest chimerism in DBMC-i, but not in controls (with 50-fold lower chimerism). In chronically rejecting controls, Foy-P3 was further decreased.Conclusions. Peritransplant DBMC-i has higher 10-year renal transplant acceptance, chimerism, and FoxP3 mRNA in thus-far unclarified regulatory cell phenotypes.
