Kidney and liver transplantation requires a fine tuning of immune responses in order to
achieve long term operational tolerance with immunosuppressants or immune modulators.
Numerous experimental findings indicate that CD4+ FOXP3 expressing regulatory T (Treg)
cells play a central role in the induction of tolerance to the grafts indicating that the
use of Treg cells may be an innovative therapeutic strategy in kidney transplantation
that would enable the diminution of immunosuppressive drugs or even their
discontinuation, thus decreasing their risk of adverse events.
As human Treg cells represent less than 10% of CD4+ T cells, and because it has been
shown in mice that a dose of 2*104 polyclonal Tregs/g was necessary to induce tolerance
in animal models of solid organ transplantation, it is mandatory to expand human Treg
cells ex vivo, after isolating them from peripheral blood. The investigators previously
defined a protocol for Treg cell isolation and expansion in clinical grade conditions
(cGMP) that enabled us to obtain the expected number of expanded cells maintaining high
levels of FOXP3 (3).
The investigators therefore hypothesize in humans, as it has been already shown in mice,
that the infusion of autologous expanded polyclonal Treg cells would lead to the
obtaining of operational tolerance in kidney and liver graft in association with
classical immunosuppressants and an expectable diminution of those.
To this end, it is necessary to have pre-clinical batches of expanded Treg cells
validated by the National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety validate
(ANSM). The investigators therefore plan to have 4 batches from 2 liver transplant
patients and 2 kidney transplant patients validated.
