Abstract:
Objective To investigate the immune regulatory effects of allogeneic bone marrowderived mesenchyrnal stem cells (MSCs) co-transplanted with islets. Methods The 18 diabetic mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: Diabetic group, without any transplantation; Islet transplantation group, in a sterile operation, with 10 μl purified islets (about 200 islets)transplantation to the left renal subcapsule of recipients; Islet + MSCs transplantation group, in addition to transplantation as the former group, 1 × 106 MSCs were given to the recipients via tail vein on 3, 2 and 0 days before islet transplantation. Blood glucose in recipient mice was monitored for 30consecutive days after transplantation. Pathological characteristics of left kidney were analyzed on the day 14 and 28 after transplantation. Th1/Th2, Tc1/Tc2, naive and memory T cells from peripheral blood and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) were analyzed by multi-color flow cytometry.Results As compared with the islet transplantation group, blood glucose was significantly reduced,inflammatory cell infiltration decreased in the place of transplantation, graft survival prolonged, the number of Th1 and Tc1 cells was obviously reduced, the number of Th2 and Tc2 cells increased, the ratio of Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 cells was significantly decreased, the naive and memory T cells were significantly inhibited, the maturity of DCs and the secretion of interleukin-12 decreased in the islet transplantation group. Conclusion Through the immunomodulation on T-cell and DCs function,MSCs can alleviate graft verse host disease and prolong allograft survival.
