Key Points TSCM lymphocytes are preferentially generated from naive precursors in vivo early after haploidentical HSCT. TSCM represent relevant novel players in the diversification of immunological memory after haploidentical HSCT.

Abstract Recipient-specific regulatory T cells (rsTreg) can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by inhibiting donor T-cell expansion after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in mice. Importantly, in adult humans, because of thymus involution, immune reconstitution during the first months after HSCT relies on the peripheral expansion of donor T cells initially present in the graft. Therefore, we developed a mouse model of HSCT that excludes thymic output to study the effect of rsTreg on immune reconstitution derived from postthymic mature T cells present within the graft. We showed that GVHD prevention with rsTreg was associated with improvement of the limited immune reconstitution compared with GVHD mice in terms of cell numbers, activation phenotype, and cytokine production. We further demonstrated a preserved in vivo immune function using vaccinia infection and third-party skin-graft rejection models, suggesting that rsTreg immunosuppression was relatively specific of GVHD. Finally, we showed that rsTreg extensively proliferated during the first 2 weeks and then declined. In turn, donor Treg proliferated from day 15 on. Taken together, these results suggest that rsTreg GVHD prevention is associated with improved early immune reconstitution in a model that more closely approximates the biology of allogeneic HSCT in human adults.

Presently, there is no consensus on the best treatment for relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), particularly in patients with extramedullary lesions. There are certain anti-tumor drugs that can be used in case of relapse after allo-HSCT, however, prospective randomized studies directly comparing different chemotherapy and immunotherapy approaches are generally lacking. Retrospective studies exploring therapy for relapsed disease are difficult to compare due to the inhomogeneity of patient populations and the diversity of treatment approaches. In such situations, the treatment choice is influenced by the characteristics of the tumor population, particularly, its immunophenotype, available drugs, and the experience of a healthcare facility and physicians. This clinical case report describes the process of treating a patient with B-lymphoblastic lymphoma and shows the possibility of using donor CD19-specific CAR-T cells as a treatment for isolated CNS relapse after allo-HSCT. The patient's parents gave their consent to the use of their child's data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.
