Modulace vlastností mezenchymálních kmenových buněk a jejich využití v regulaci transplantační imunity / Modulation of mesenchymal stem cell properties and their use in the regulation of transplantation immunity

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a heterogeneous population of stromal cells with a pluripotent differentiation potential. They can be isolated from multiple tissues of mesodermal origin, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood and afterwards externally expanded according their adherence to the plastic surfaces. These cells show remarkable immunomodulatory properties, suppressing T-, B- and NK-cell functions, and also modulating dendritic cell activities and influencing immune responses during tissue repair and recovery. MSCs have been shown to possess ability to migrate to sites of inflammation and tissue injury. All these properties make MSCs a promising tool for clinical application. Our primary goal was to identify processes that may influence immunoregulatory effects of MSCs. In order to promote immunossupressive qualities of MSCs we established the scheme comprising MSCs precultivated with various cytokines and Toll-like receptors (TLR) ligands in vitro, with the final aim to improve the therapeutic effect of MSCs on wound healing in vivo. We studied modulation of MSCs properties and consequently the effect of influenced MSCs on cells of the immune system. The immunosuppression is mainly mediated through secreted factors that MSCs produced after...
