Analysis of Same Selected Immunomodulatory Properties of Chorionic Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a population of adherent cells that can be isolated from multiple adult tissues. MSCs have immunomodulatory capacity and the ability to differentiate into many cell lines. Research study examines the immunomodulatory properties of MSCs isolated from chorion (CMSCs). Following the stimulation process, it was found that MSCs are capable of immunomodulatory action via the release of bioactive molecules as well as through direct contact with the immune cells. Immunomodulatory potential of the CMSCs was analyzed by modifying proliferative capacity of mitogen-activated lymphocytes. CMSCs and lymphocytes were tested in cell-to-cell contact. Lymphocytes were stained with carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester. Inhibition of the proliferation of activated lymphocytes was observed. Following the co-cultivation, the expression of markers involved in the immune response modulation was assessed. Afterwards, an increase in CMSCs expression of IL-10 was detected. Following the co-cultivation with activated lymphocyte, adhesion molecules CD54 and CD44 in the CMSCs increased. An increase of CD54 expression was observed. The properties of CMSCs, adherence and differentiation ability, were confirmed. The phenotype of CMSCs CD105+, CD90+, CD73+, CD44+, CD29+, CD45-, CD34-, CD54+ was characterized. It was demonstrated that chorion-derived MSCs have important immunomodulatory effects.
