Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells have two main properties: self renewal and the ability to differentiate multiple lineage. Because MSCs exhibit low immunogenicity and demonstrate significant suppressive activity in cell cultures containing alloreactive T cells, they play an important role in transplantation immunology, but the exact mechanism remains unknown. This article focuses on the immunoregulatory feature of MSCs to immunoeffector cells, such as T cells, B cells, and NK cells. The role of MSC in transplantation immunoregulation, regulatory mechanism of MSC in cellular immunity (direct contact of cells with cells, apoptosis and immunoregulation of MSC on lymphocytes), immunoregulation of MSC on DC and NK cells were reviewed.
