Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In different studies, mesenchymal stem cells exhibit contradictory immune characteristics. This may be because mesenchymal stem cells are a group of complex cells and different subgroups exhibit different immune characteristics. 
OBJECTIVE: To isolate and identify a sub-population of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells with high positive surface antigen of CD200, and to investigate the immune characteristics of this sub-population. 
METHODS: Flow cytometry was utilized to sort CD200+ placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Phenotypic characterization and multilineage differentiation of the sorted cells were determined. Cytokine secretion, involving interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, was measured by ELISA. Mixed lymphocyte proliferation assay was used to determine the immune characteristics of CD200+ placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The CD200+ placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells exhibited homogeneous spindle shape, and highly expressed CD44, CD73, CD90 and CD105, negatively expressed CD34, CD45, CD80 and CD86. After induced differentiation, the cells were positively stained by oil red O staining and alizarlin red staining, which were the markers of adipocytes and osteoblasts. The results of ELISA indicated that the expression level of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in the CD200+ placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells was strikingly higher than placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells and CD200- placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Compared with normal and CD200- placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells, CD200+ placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells inhibited T cell proliferation significantly, lowered the levels of interferon-γ and interleukin-2, and upregulated the level of interleukin-10. We found that CD200+ placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells have better immunoregulatory capability compared with normal and CD200- placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells, which may provide an ideal theoretical basis for clinical use.
