Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, which is characterized by hyperactivation of T and B cells. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) ameliorate the progression of SLE in preclinical studies using lupus-prone MRL.Faslpr mice. However, whether hMSCs inhibit the functions of xenogeneic mouse T and B cells is not clear. To address this issue, we examined the in vitro effects of hMSCs on T and B cells isolated from MRL.Faslpr mice. Naïve hMSCs inhibited the functions of T cells but not B cells. hMSCs preconditioned with IFN-γ (i) inhibited the proliferation of and IgM production by B cells, (ii) attracted B cells for cell–cell interactions in a CXCL10-dependent manner, and (iii) inhibited B cells by producing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. In summary, our data demonstrate that hMSCs exert therapeutic activity in mice in three steps: first, naïve hMSCs inhibit the functions of T cells, hMSCs are then activated by IFN-γ, and finally, they inhibit B cells.

Abstract Abstract 4486 Objective To explore mechanism of Mesenchymal stem cells in treating Rheumatoid arthritis. Methods (1) MSCs were isolated from Bone marrow samples of Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)patients and purified by density gradient centrifagation and cultured in vitro. Morphology, immunophenotype, and proliferative property of bMSC and colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) were measured and analyzed. (2) In an in vitro co-culture system, MSCs were observed to modulate proliferation,activation, and maturation of T and B lymphocytes of Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)patients. The expression of IL-1?ATNF-a?ATGF-β were obviously changed.(3) Bone marrow- derived BMSCs of wistar rats were isolated and cultured in vitro routinely and the fourth passage as taken for identification of specific surface antigens by flowcytometry, then were labled with 5- BrdU in vitro. The model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats were established. 5- BrdU labled BMSCs were implanted through tail vein to model rats. At 4 weeks after BMSCs transplantation, immunohistochemical examinations were used to investigate BMSCs aggregate around the knee joints.and identify the contribution of bone marrow– derived cells to joints damage repair. Results (1) The culture expanded cells from RA patients presented a typical fibroblast-like morphology. Cells were positive for SH2(CD105),CD71,and CD44, but negative for CD45.Their proliferative capacity and CFU-F number were similar to those of bMSCs from healthy donors. (2) MSCs significantly inhibited T,B cell proliferation. MSCs also could down-regulating the levels of IL-1, TNF and up-regulating TGF-β. (3) Flow cytometry showed that BMSCs expressed CD44, CD71and CD105, but no CD45,CD34. At 4 weeks after the cells transplantation, the implanted cells were detected in the damaged joints of the model rats, which is not founded in normal knee joints of the rats'.and at same time there are more OPG(osteoprotegerin) positive. Conclusion (1) In the aspect of morphology, immuno -phenotypen, proliferative property and colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F),MSCs from bone marrow of RA patients are not different from those of MSCs isolated from bone marrow of normal donors,MSCs from the bone marrow of RA patients have the potentiality in clinical application.(2) Human bone marrow MSCs inhibited Tcell and Bcell activation and proliferation in patients with RA in vitro. And these immuno –modulatory effects were not MHC-restricted. (3) bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells prevents tissue damage in arthritis. Allogeneic MSCs can engraft at sites of tissue damage,and prepair damage. That provided positive results for developing effective therapy for Rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract Introduction Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most advanced form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) characterized by ischemic rest pain and non-healing ulcers. Currently, the standard therapy for CLI is the surgical reconstruction and endovascular therapy or limb amputation for patients with no treatment options. Neovasculogenesis induced by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy is a promising approach to improve CLI. Owing to their angiogenic and immunomodulatory potential, MSCs are perfect candidates for the treatment of CLI. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the in vitro and in vivo effects of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) on CLI treatment. Methods For the first step, BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs were isolated and characterized for the characteristic MSC phenotypes. Then, femoral artery ligation and total excision of the femoral artery were performed on C57BL/6 mice to create a CLI model. The cells were evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo biological characteristics for CLI cell therapy. In order to determine these characteristics, the following tests were performed: morphology, flow cytometry, differentiation to osteocyte and adipocyte, wound healing assay, and behavioral tests including Tarlov, Ischemia, Modified ischemia, Function and the grade of limb necrosis scores, donor cell survival assay, and histological analysis. Results Our cellular and functional tests indicated that during 28 days after cell transplantation, BM-MSCs had a great effect on endothelial cell migration, muscle restructure, functional improvements, and neovascularization in ischemic tissues compared with AT-MSCs and control groups. Conclusions Allogeneic BM-MSC transplantation resulted in a more effective recovery from critical limb ischemia compared to AT-MSCs transplantation. In fact, BM-MSC transplantation could be considered as a promising therapy for diseases with insufficient angiogenesis including hindlimb ischemia.

Scrapie is a prion disease affecting sheep and goats and it is considered a prototype of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proposed as candidates for developing in vitro models of prion diseases. Murine MSCs are able to propagate prions after previous mouse-adaptation of prion strains and, although ovine MSCs express the cellular prion protein (PrPC), their susceptibility to prion infection has never been investigated. Here, we analyze the potential of ovine bone marrow-derived MSCs (oBM-MSCs), in growth and neurogenic conditions, to be infected by natural scrapie and propagate prion particles (PrPSc) in vitro, as well as the effect of this infection on cell viability and proliferation. Cultures were kept for 48–72 h in contact with homogenates of central nervous system (CNS) samples from scrapie or control sheep. In growth conditions, oBM-MSCs initially maintained detectable levels of PrPSc post-inoculation, as determined by Western blotting and ELISA. However, the PrPSc signal weakened and was lost over time. oBM-MSCs infected with scrapie displayed lower cell doubling and higher doubling times than those infected with control inocula. On the other hand, in neurogenic conditions, oBM-MSCs not only maintained detectable levels of PrPSc post-inoculation, as determined by ELISA, but this PrPSc signal also increased progressively over time. Finally, inoculation with CNS extracts seems to induce the proliferation of oBM-MSCs in both growth and neurogenic conditions. Our results suggest that oBM-MSCs respond to prion infection by decreasing their proliferation capacity and thus might not be permissive to prion replication, whereas ovine MSC-derived neuron-like cells seem to maintain and replicate PrPSc.
