Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Treg cells belong to inhibitory CD4+T cells. Human placenta mesenchymal stem cells (hPAMSCs) have T cell immunomodulatory function.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the CD4+T and Treg cells immunomodulatory ability after culture with the supernatant of hPAMSCs.
METHODS: hPAMSCs were isolated and cultured, and the stable cell lines were then established. Passage 4 hPAMSCs and its supernatant were collected, and the expression of cell surface markers CD90, CD73, CD45 and HLA-DR were detected by flow cytometry. Cell activation cocktail stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donor were co-cultured with hPAMSCs supernatant for 6 hours. The percentage of CD4+T cells and Treg cells was detected by flow cytometry. ELISA was used to test the level of transforming growth factor β in the cell supernatant.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Successfully established primary hPAMSCs cell lines had stable passage. Supernatant of hPAMSCs significantly inhibited the percentage of CD4+T cells (P < 0.05), while significantly enhanced the percentage of Treg cells (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the level of transforming growth factor β was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the supernatant of hPAMSCs has the immunomodulatory function via inducing the conversion from CD4+T to Treg cells, which is expected to be a new therapeutic treatment for immune disorders.
