Abstract
To characterize different tissue MSCs as sources of cell immunomodulatory therapy. Examined the effects of IFN-γ on WJ-MSC and their immunomodulatory function characteristics. We compared human fetal bone marrow (F-BM), adipose tissue (AT), and Warton's Jelly-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) for surface antigen expression, differentiation ability, proliferation capacity, clonality, tolerance for aging, gene expression, and whether IFN-γ affected WJ-MSC gene expression, as determined by real time quantitative PCR. Fifteen geneswere examined. We further assess WJ-MSCs-mediated immunomodulatory on peripheral blood mononuclear, stimulated by PHA, IL-2 and CD3Ab after 5 days of co-cultured in a 5:1 ratio (PBMC:MSCs). Examined the effect of WJ-MSCs on the Th1, Th2, Th17 cytokines production and Treg augument. MSCs from different tissues have similar levels of cell surface antigen expression and differentiation ability, while F-BM-MSCs and WJ-MSC had higher rates of cell proliferation and clonality than AD-MSCs. All 15 genes were expressed at similar levels in WJ-MSCs and AD-MSCs (P > 0.05). 9 genes were upregulated in WJ-MSCFor F-MSC, including IL-6, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, ICAM-1, IDO1, HLA-G5, SDF1A, and NOTCH were down expression, but VCAM-1 was lower expressionin WJ-MSCS. After IFN-γ treatment, 7 genes were upregulated in WJ-MSC, including chemokine ligands CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11, and the adhesion protein VCAM1and ICAM1. Additionally, immunosuppressive factors, such as HLA-G and IDO were both increased. When cocultured with peripheral blood mononuclear, WJ-MSCs showed an immunosuppressive function by inhibit the proliferative response of Th1 and Th17 but augment Th2 and Treg. Primed WJ-MSCs by IFNγ caused a greater reduction in IFNγ and TNFα than untreated WJ-MSCs, also the effect on augument in Treg and inhibit Th17 (P < 0.01). Our results demonstrate that primitive F-BM-MSCs and WJ-MSCs have biological advantages as compared to adult cells, WJ-MSCs have a gene expression pattern similar to AT-MSCs but not F-BM MSCs, and that inflammatory stimuli regulate gene expression in WJ-MSCs. WJ-MSC showed the immunosuppressive function in co-cultured system with PBMC, and IFNγ can promoted the immunosuppressive function.
