Mesenchymal stem cells: Immunomodulatory capability and clinical potential in immune diseases

Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a heterogenous population of adult, fibroblast-like multi-potent cells. MSCs have drawn much attention during the last decade in the field of regenerative medicine, mainly due to their capacity to differentiate into specific cell types, abundant production of soluble growth factors and cytokines, and hematopoiesis supporting properties. In addition, MSCs can migrate to the sites of inflammation and hold potent of immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects through cell and cell interactions between MSCs and lymphocytes or production of soluble factors. Therefore, the application of MSCs in many disease situations is full of possibilities for future clinical treatment. Phase III clinical trials have been run using MSCs for treatment of Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD), and MSCs product approval has been achieved for pediatric GVHD treatment in Canada and New Zealand (Prochymal®; Osiris Therapeutics). In addition, hundreds of clinical trials are being run using MSCs for treatment of several immune mediated diseases, including GVHD, aplastic anemia (AA), Crohn's disease (CD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and multiple sclerosis (MS). In this review we mainly focus on immunomodulation potential of MSCs and promising therapeutic application of MSCs in immune mediated diseases. Furthermore, we emphasize that biological effectiveness of MSCs will be one of most important standards to determine the dose of MSCs infusion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
