Multipotent stromal cells induce human regulatory T cells through a novel pathway involving skewing of monocytes toward anti-inflammatory macrophages

Abstract: Multipotent stromal cells (MSC) have been shown to possess immunomodulatory capacities and are therefore explored as a novel cellular therapy. One of the mechanisms through which MSC modulate immune responses is by the promotion of regulatory T cell (Treg) formation. In this study, we focused on the cellular interactions and secreted factors that are essential in this process. Using an in vitro culture system, we showed that culture-expanded bone marrow-derived MSC promote the generation of CD41 T cells in hum… Show more

“…In agreement with several earlier results [21,49,50], the crosstalk between Ms and MSCs occur primarily by soluble factors, since cytokine production during physical separation of the two cell types was similar to those measured in direct co-cultures. One of the soluble factors produced by both Ms and MSCs is PGE-2.…”

“…Of interest were the gene(s) that encode secreted proteins and were up-regulated by more than twofold in hMSCs upon coculture with lung cells (Table S1). Of the 11 up-regulated genes for secreted proteins, the following four genes have been previously shown to be associated with immunomodulatory and antiinflammatory effects of MSCs: stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) (18), TSG-6 (4, 5, 11, 19), TGF-β (7,20,21), and prostaglandin endoperoxidase synthase 2 (PTGS-2) (10, 12, 21, 22). To examine whether any of these genes are indeed increased in the lung of mice in vivo after i.v.…”

“…Therefore, direct suppressive effects of MSCs on the immune system are short-lived, and do not explain the long-term therapeutic effects observed with MSCs in clinical and animal studies. In this context, it has been suggested that MSCs trigger a state of immune tolerance, for example, through the induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs) (6,7).…”

“…Indeed, MSCs are able to generate Tregs, in part, by the secretion of TGF-β and by promoting Treg expansion [61,62]. Also, it was reported that rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTOR signaling, promotes the expansion of Tregs obtained from peripheral blood, regardless if used solely or in combination with ATRA [63,64].…”
