Abstract (original English)
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have important immunosuppressive properties, but the mechanisms and soluble factors involved in these effects remain unclear. We have studied prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) as a possible candidate implied in adipose tissue-derived MSCs (Ad-MSCs) immunosuppressive properties over dendritic cells and T lymphocytes, compared to bone marrow derived MSCs (BM-MSCs). We found that both MSCs inhibited the maturation of myeloid-DCs and plasmocytoid-DCs. High levels of PGE2 were detected in DCs/MSCs co-cultures. Its blockade with indomethacin (IDM) allowed plasmocytoid-DCs but not myeloid-DCs maturation. Additionally, high levels of PGE2 were found in co-cultures in which Ad-MSCs or BM-MSCs inhibited activated T cells proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokines production. PGE2 blockade by IDM preserved T lymphocytes proliferation but did not restore the pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion. However, an increased expression of transcription factors and cytokines genes involved in the Th1/Th2 differentiation pathway was detected in the T cells co-cultured with Ad-MSCs, but not with BM-MSCs. In conclusion, we propose that PGE2 is a soluble factor mediating most of the immunosuppressive effects of Ad-MSCs and BM-MSCs over p-DCs maturation and activated T lymphocytes proliferation and cytokine secretion.
