  • Thymus Transplantation Reference Number: CP.MP.189 Coding Implications Date of Last Revision: 06/21 Revision Log
    Clinical Policy: Thymus Transplantation Reference Number: CP.MP.189 Coding Implications Date of Last Revision: 06/21 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description Complete DiGeorge anomaly is a disorder in which a person has no thymus function. Without thymus function, bone marrow stem cells do not develop into T cells, which results in immunodeficiency. Without successful treatment, patients usually die by 2 years of age. Thymus transplantation with and without immunosuppression has resulted in the development good T cell function in complete DiGeorge anomaly subjects.1 Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene Corporation® that thymus transplant (use of RVT-802) requires secondary review, due to limited evidence, when meeting all of the following: A. Complete or “atypical” DiGeorge syndrome with poor thymus function, per medical testing laboratory studies and physical examination, as confirmed by the thymus transplant clinical trial (NCT01220531); B. Immunodeficiency, or severe autoimmunity for which development of naïve T cells would be expected to lead to clinical improvement; C. Flow cytometry and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) studies are planned to occur twice, once within 3 months of transplantation and once within one month of transplantation. Studies must be performed in a CLIA or CAP certified laboratory, preferably Duke Clinical Immunology Laboratory; D. None of the following contraindications: 1. Malignancy, except for non-melanoma localized skin cancer that has been treated appropriately, a malignancy that has been completely resected, or a treated malignancy determined to have a small likelihood of recurrence and acceptable future risks; 2.

  • Thymocytes May Persist and Differentiate Without Any Input from Bone Marrow Progenitors
    Brief Definitive Report Thymocytes may persist and differentiate without any input from bone marrow progenitors Laetitia Peaudecerf,1 Sara Lemos,1 Alessia Galgano,1 Gerald Krenn,1 Florence Vasseur,1 James P. Di Santo,2 Sophie Ezine,1 and Benedita Rocha1 1Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale, Unit 1020, Faculty of Medicine Descartes Paris V, 75015 Paris, France 2Innate Immunity Unit, Pasteur Institute, 75724 Paris, France Thymus transplants can correct deficiencies of the thymus epithelium caused by the com- plete DiGeorge syndrome or FOXN1 mutations. However, thymus transplants were never used to correct T cell–intrinsic deficiencies because it is generally believed that thymocytes have short intrinsic lifespans. This notion is based on thymus transplantation experiments where it was shown that thymus-resident cells were rapidly replaced by progenitors origi- nating in the bone marrow. In contrast, here we show that neonatal thymi transplanted into interleukin 7 receptor–deficient hosts harbor populations with extensive capacity to self-renew, and maintain continuous thymocyte generation and export. These thymus transplants reconstitute the full diversity of peripheral T cell repertoires one month after surgery, which is the earliest time point studied. Moreover, transplantation experiments performed across major histocompatibility barriers show that allogeneic transplanted thymi are not rejected, and allogeneic cells do not induce graft-versus-host disease; transplants induced partial or total protection to infection. These results challenge the current dogma that thymocytes cannot self-renew, and indicate a potential use of neonatal thymus trans- plants to correct T cell–intrinsic deficiencies. Finally, as found with mature T cells, they show that thymocyte survival is determined by the competition between incoming progeni- tors and resident cells.

  • T-Cell Reconstitution After Thymus Xenotransplantation Induces Hair Depigmentation and Loss Anna L
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE T-Cell Reconstitution after Thymus Xenotransplantation Induces Hair Depigmentation and Loss Anna L. Furmanski1, Ryan F.L. O’Shaughnessy1, Jose Ignacio Saldana1, Michael P. Blundell2, Adrian J. Thrasher2,NeilJ.Sebire3,E.GrahamDavies2,4 and Tessa Crompton1 Here we present a mouse model for T-cell targeting of hair follicles, linking the pathogenesis of alopecia to that of depigmentation disorders. Clinically, thymus transplantation has been successfully used to treat T-cell immunodeficiency in congenital athymia, but is associated with autoimmunity. We established a mouse model of thymus transplantation by subcutaneously implanting human thymus tissue into athymic C57BL/6 nude mice. These xenografts supported mouse T-cell development. Surprisingly, we did not detect multiorgan autoimmune disease. However, in all transplanted mice, we noted a striking depigmentation and loss of hair follicles. Transfer of T cells from transplanted nudes to syngeneic black-coated RAG À / À recipients caused progressive, persistent coat-hair whitening, which preceded patchy hair loss in depigmented areas. Further transfer experiments revealed that these phenomena could be induced by CD4 þ T cells alone. Immunofluorescent analysis suggested that Trp2 þ melanocyte-lineage cells were decreased in depigmented hair follicles, and pathogenic T cells upregulated activation markers when exposed to C57BL/6 melanocytes in vitro, suggesting that these T cells are not tolerant to self-melanocyte antigens. Our data raise interesting questions about the mechanisms underlying tissue-specific tolerance to skin antigens.

Autoimmune vitiligo in humans typically Alopecia is a disfiguring form of hair loss, which may be presents as patchy skin depigmentation resulting from a reversible, or irreversible, as in scarring alopecias.
