Stem cells are characterized by self-renew and multipotent differentiation abilities. Besides their roles in cell compensation, stem cells are also rich sources of growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, micro-RNAs and exosomes and serve as drug stores to maintain tissue homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that the secretome of stem cells is regulated by the local inflammatory cues and highlighted the roles of these secretory factors in stem cell based therapies. Importantly, stem cell conditioned medium, in the absence of stem cell engraftment, have shown efficiency in treating diseases involves immune disorders. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in understanding the regulatory effects of stem cells secreted factors on different immune cells including macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, NK cells, T cells, and B cells. We also discuss how stem cells released factors participate in the initiation, maintenance and resolution of inflammation. The in depth understanding of interaction between stem cells secreted factors and immune system would lead to new strategies to restore tissue homeostasis and improve the efficiency of stem cell therapies.
干细胞的特征是自我更新和多能性分化能力。除了在细胞补偿中的作用外,干细胞还是生长因子、细胞因子、趋化因子、micro-RNAs 和外泌体的丰富来源,并且作为药物库来维持组织内稳态。最近的研究表明,干细胞的分泌组受局部炎症线索的调节,并强调了这些分泌因子在基于干细胞的治疗中的作用。重要的是,在没有干细胞移植的情况下,干细胞条件培养基已显示出在治疗涉及免疫紊乱的疾病方面的有效性。在这篇综述中,我们总结了最近在理解干细胞分泌因子对包括巨噬细胞、树突状细胞、中性粒细胞、自然杀伤细胞、T 细胞和 B 细胞在内的不同免疫细胞的调节作用方面的进展。我们还讨论了干细胞释放的因子如何参与炎症的启动、维持和解决。深入了解干细胞分泌因子与免疫系统之间的相互作用将为恢复组织内稳态和提高干细胞治疗效率提供新策略。
