Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2013;34(7):428-431
Objective To observe the immunoregulatory roles of MSCs in inducing proliferation of B regulatory cells (Bregs).Method DA Rat MSCs were co-cultured with Wistar rat B cells.The levels of IL-10 and secrete proinflammatory cytokines in the supematants were determined by using ELISA.The proliferation and apoptosis of B cells after interaction with MSCs were analyzed by using FACS.In order to investigate whether Bregs are involved in the phagocytosis of immune complex (IC),B cells and Bregs were incubated with FITC-OVA-IC.The fluorescence intensity was detected by using immunofluorescence microscopy.Results MSCs induced B cells to differentiate into Bregs with high CD19,CD1d and CD5 expression and high IL-10 level.The proliferation of B cells was significantly suppressed after interaction with MSCs.Bregs had enhanced phagocytic capacity as compared with that of B cells.Bregs significantly inhibited maDC-induced CD4+ T cell proliferation compared to B cells,without depressing IL-2 or IFN-γ secretion.Conclusion MSCs induce freshly isolated B cells to differentiate into Bregs characterized by the ability to preferentially produce IL-10.
