Immunomodulatory Function

Human mesenchymal stem cells pretreatment with IL-17A (MSC-17) potently enhances T cell immunosuppression but not their immunogenicity, in addition to avidly promoting the induction of suppressive regulatory T cells. The aim of this study was to identify potential mechanisms by which human MSC-17 mediate their superior immunomodulatory function. Untreated-MSC (UT-MSC), IFN-γtreated MSC (MSC-γ), and MSC-17 were assessed for their gene expression profile by microarray. Significantly regulated genes were identified for their biological functions (Database for Annotation, Visualisation and Integrated Discovery, DAVID). Microarray analyses identified 1278 differentially regulated genes between MSC-γand UT-MSC and 67 genes between MSC-17 and UT-MSC. MSC-γwere enriched for genes involved in immune response, antigen processing and presentation, humoral response, and complement activation, consistent with increased MSC-γimmunogenicity. MSC-17 genes were associated with chemotaxis response, which may be involved in T cell recruitment for MSC-17 immunosuppression. MMP1, MMP13, and CXCL6 were highly and specifically expressed in MSC-17, which was further validated by real-time PCR. Thus, MMPs and chemokines may play a key role in mediating MSC-17 superior immunomodulatory function. MSC-17 represent a potential cellular therapy to suppress immunological T cell responses mediated by expression of an array of immunoregulatory molecules.

Immunomodulatory Function

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iPSC-MSCs) represent a promising cell source for patient-specific cell therapy. We previously demonstrated that they display an immunomodulatory effect on allergic airway inflammation. Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory compounds and widely used in the therapy of allergic diseases. However, the effect of glucocorticoids on the immunomodulatory function of iPSC-MSCs remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the effect of dexamethasone (Dex) on the immunomodulatory function of iPSC-MSCs in vitro and in vivo. A total of three human iPSC-MSC clones were generated from amniocyte-derived iPSCs. Anti-CD3/CD28-induced peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation was used to assess the effect of Dex on the immunoinhibitory function of iPSC-MSCs in vitro. Mouse models of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and allergic airway inflammation were induced, and the levels of inflammation in mice were analyzed with the treatments of iPSC-MSCs and Dex, alone and combined. The results showed that Dex did not interfere with the immunoinhibitory effect of iPSC-MSCs on PBMC proliferation. In CHS mice, simultaneous treatment with Dex did not affect the effect of iPSC-MSCs on the inflammation, both in regional draining lymph nodes and in inflamed ear tissue. In addition, co-administration of iPSC-MSCs with Dex decreased the local expression of interferon (IFN)-γ and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the ears of CHS mice. In the mouse model of allergic airway inflammation, iPSC-MSC treatment combined with Dex resulted in a similar extent of reduction in pulmonary inflammation as iPSC-MSCs or Dex treatment alone. In conclusion, Dex does not significantly affect the immunomodulatory function of iPSC-MSCs both in vitro and in vivo. These findings may have implications when iPSC-MSCs and glucocorticoids are co-administered.

Abstract Background Liver injury associated with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a frequent and severe complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and remains a major cause of transplant-related mortality. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach for aGVHD. However, the therapeutic effects are not always achieved. In this study, we genetically engineered C57BL/6 mouse BM-MSCs with AKT1 gene and tested whether AKT1-MSCs was superior to control MSCs (Null-MSCs) for cell therapy of liver aGVHD. Results In vitro apoptosis analyses showed that, under both routine culture condition and high concentration interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (100ng/mL) stimulation condition, AKT1-MSCs had a survival (anti-apoptotic) advantage compared to Null-MSCs. In vivo imaging showed that AKT1-MSCs had better homing capacity and longer persistence in injured liver compared to Null-MSCs. Most importantly, AKT1-MSCs demonstrated an enhanced immunomodulatory function by releasing more immunosuppressive cytokines, such as IL-10. Adoptive transfer of AKT1-MSCs mitigated the histopathological abnormalities of concanavalin A(ConA)-induced liver injury along with significantly lowered serum levels of ALT and AST. The attenuation of liver injury correlated with the decrease of TNF-α and IFN-γ both in liver tissue and in the serum. Conclusions In summary, BM-MSCs genetically modified with AKT1 has a survival advantage and an enhanced immunomodulatory function both in vitro and in vivo and thus demonstrates the therapeutic potential for prevention and amelioration of liver GVHD and other immunity-associated liver injuries.

Immunomodulatory Function

Abstract Abstract 3633 Poster Board III-569 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess an immunomodulatory function and show promise as a cell therapy for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In a phase II study in Europe, injections of MSCs caused 60-70% overall response rate, with longer survival of complete responder. In contrast to its clinical efficacy, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying immunomodulation by MSCs has not been fully established. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor growth factor-b1 (TGF-b1), and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase have been reported to mediate the immunomodulatory function of MSCs, and we reported evidence that nitric oxide is also a mediator (Blood 2007, 109, 228). Th17 is a recently recognized differentiation category, in which CD4 cells produce IL-17. It has been reported that Th17 is crucial for experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (a model of the human disease, multiple sclerosis) and is also thought to be important in other autoimmune diseases. Regulatory T cells (Treg) are another newly recognized differentiation category, in which CD4 T cells have high levels of Foxp3 expression and suppress T cell proliferation. It has been reported that Th17 and Treg can be induced by incubation with TGF-b1 and IL-6 or IL-21, and TGF-b1 and IL-2, respectively, and that these two differentiations are in a reciprocal relationship. Whereas the role of Th17 in GVHD is still controversial, Treg has been reported to suppress GVHD in a mouse model. To elucidate the molecular mechanism(s) of the immunomodulatory function of MSCs, we herein sought to identify the effects of MSCs on these relatively new differentiations. MSCs inhibit Th17 differentiation even in conditions in which growth is not completely inhibited. Interestingly, an inhibitor of prostaglandin production, indomethacin, and an inhibitor of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, 1-methyltryptophan, partially restore Th17 differentiation, whereas inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase do not. These results suggest that PGE2 and depletion of tryptophan, but not nitric oxide, mediate inhibitory effects of MSCs on Th17. Additionally, we found that MSCs produced PGE2 when co-cultured with CD4 T cells in Th17 differentiation condition and PGE2 per se suppresses Th17 differentiation. Thus, our results suggest that MSCs block Th17 differentiation through PGE2 prodction. In contrast to Th17 differentiation, Treg differentiation was not significantly inhibited by MSCs. However, MSCs still inhibited proliferation of T cells under these conditions, and T cell proliferation was restored by the addition of indomethacin. These results suggest that MSCs inhibit proliferation but not Treg differentiation through PGE2 production. The mechanism by which PGE2 differentially regulates these differentiations is unknown and remains an area for further investigation. Disclosures: Ozawa: Alexion: Research Funding.
