Adult human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells suppresses allogeneic lymphocytes proliferation / 中华器官移植杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the immunomodulatory functions of adult human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro.Methods Adult human BMMSCs were separated with Percoll((1.073) g/ml) and cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium with low glucose containing 10% fetal calf serum.The purity of BMMSCs was identified with the spindle-fibroblastic morphology by microphotograph and the phenotypes were tested by fluorescence-activated cell sorter(FACS).BMMSCs were plated in 96-well plates.After treated with mitomycin,BMMSCs were co-cultured for 72 h with allogeneic lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood.Effects of MSCs on PHA induced lymphocytes transformation were investigated.The proliferation of lymphocytes was measured by MTT method.Results Peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferation was suppressed by BMMSCs and the inhibition ratio was (60.68%)(P
