Abstract (original English)

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have therapeutic potential in a variety of diseases; however, the safety and efficacy of their use remain ambiguous. Clinical applications of MSCs are under intensive investigation due to their immunomodulatory features and lack of immune reactivity. Therefore, having a clear perspective on the exact mechanisms underlying the regulation of cytokine secretion in different microenvironments seems crucially important.In the current study, samples from human bone marrow and adipose were collected, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and cultured in conventional medium. After MSC expansion, the cells from passage 3 (P3) and passage 9 (P9) were utilized to identify MSC cell surface markers and their differentiation capacity. The P3, P5, P7, and P9 cells were used for RNA extraction to qualify the expression of the main immunomodulatory cytokines IDO, VCAM-1, TGF-β, IL-6, IL-10, and PGE2 at mRNA levels. The results indicate that VCAM-1 expression in the subcultures was reduced in bone marrow-derived MSCs. After an increase in P5, P7, and P9, IL-6 expression was reduced. In adipose-derived MSCs, the mRNA levels of IL-10 in higher passages were decreased compared with P3; other studied cytokines had no significant changes in their expression levels in either bone marrow or adipose-derived MSCs. Based on these results, it can be conc
