To investigate the immumodulation ability of exosomes secreted from human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs).
hUC-MSCs were isolated and cultured.Exosomes were isolated from the culture media of the third-generation hUC-MSCs. The expression of specific surface marker CD9 and CD81 were detected by Western blot, and the concentration of hUC-MSCs exosomes(hUC-MSCs-ex) was evaluated by BCA assay. CD3/CD28-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) from healthy donor were co-cultured with different concentration of hUC-MSCs-ex for 72 h. The percentage of Th17 and Treg cells and the proliferation of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. ELISA was used to test the level of IFN-γ, IL-6, TNF-α and TGF-β1.
hUC-MSCs-ex inhibited the proliferation of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ cells obviously,and increased the proportion of CD4⁺ CD25⁺ FoxP3⁺ Treg cells, with high expression of CD81 and CD9. After CD3/CD28 monoclonal antibody stimulated, the percentage of CD45⁺ CD4⁺ Ki67⁺ and CD45⁺ CD8⁺ Ki67⁺ cells were 85.3% ± 5.6% and 72.6% ± 6.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, the level of TGF-β1 were elevated and the level of IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased (P<0.05).
hUC-MSCs-ex has the immunomodulatory functionin vitro, which could be a new therapeutic agent for the treatment of immune disorders.
研究人脐带间充质干细胞(hUC-MSCs)分泌的外泌体的免疫调节能力。
分离培养hUC-MSCs。从第三代hUC-MSCs的培养基中分离外泌体。通过蛋白质免疫印迹法检测特异性表面标志物CD9和CD81的表达,通过BCA法评估hUC-MSCs外泌体(hUC-MSCs-ex)的浓度。将健康供体的经CD3/CD28刺激的外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)与不同浓度的hUC-MSCs-ex共培养72小时。通过流式细胞术检测Th17和Treg细胞的百分比以及CD4⁺和CD8⁺T细胞的增殖情况。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测IFN-γ、IL-6、TNF-α和TGF-β1的水平。
hUC-MSCs-ex明显抑制CD4⁺和CD8⁺细胞的增殖,增加CD4⁺CD25⁺FoxP3⁺Treg细胞的比例,且CD81和CD9高表达。经CD3/CD28单克隆抗体刺激后,CD45⁺CD4⁺Ki67⁺和CD45⁺CD8⁺Ki67⁺细胞的百分比分别为85.3%±5.6%和72.6%±6.3%。同时,TGF-β1水平升高,IFN-γ、IL-6和TNF-α水平降低(P<0.05)。
hUC-MSCs-ex在体外具有免疫调节功能,可能成为治疗免疫紊乱的新型治疗药物。
