Abstract

BACKGROUND: Donor specific hematopoietic cell transplantation has long been recognized for its potential in tolerance induction for subsequently transplanted organs. We have recently published that co-administration of Myeloid Progenitor (MP) and third party Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) can induce MP-specific tolerance for subsequently transplanted organs [1].

METHODS: Mice received an allogeneic HSC and third party MP transplantation simultaneous with placement of a MP-matched skin graft. Variants tested include time of graft placement, MP genotype and source of cells.

RESULTS: Using B10;B6-Rag2(-/-)Il2rg(-/-) mice, we demonstrate that specific tolerance can be induced by MP given simultaneous with the skin graft in the complete absence of MP-donor-matched lymphoid cells. Ex vivo expanded MP function as well as sorted cells in inducing tolerance. In addition we demonstrate that tolerance can be induced by MP in the context of autologous HSC transplantation.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that the previously observed expansion of organ donor matched Treg is not essential for tolerance, and that MP tolerance protocols can be envisioned in most clinical settings, including those involving deceased donor organs.
