Immune modulation by mesenchymal stem cells
Open accessAbstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be derived from various adult tissues with multipotent and self‐renewal abilities. The characteristics of presenting no major ethical concerns, having low immunogenicity and possessing immune modulation functions make MSCs promising candidates for stem cell therapies. MSCs could promote inflammation when the immune system is underactivated and restrain inflammation when the immune system is overactivated to avoid self‐overattack. These cells express many immune suppressors to switch them from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype, resulting in immune effector cell suppression and immune suppressor cell activation. We would discuss the mechanisms governing the immune modulation function of these cells in this review, especially the immune‐suppressive effects of MSCs.

In innate immunity, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells express C3aR and C5aR (complement system receptors), as anaphylatoxin receptors, for recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells to the sites of damage or lesions.
“In innate immunity, BM-MSCs express C3aR and C5aR (Complement system receptors), as anaphylatoxin receptors, for recruitment of MSCs to the sites of damage or lesions [72, 78, 79].”
From Mesenchymal stromal cells in bone marrow niche of patients with multiple myeloma: a double-edged sword (2025) · cites this paper as [78]
The ‘Complement system–related proteins’ subsection says MSCs express C3aR and C5aR and that C3a and C5a at inflammation sites can activate them. It does not specify bone marrow-derived MSCs or say these receptors recruit MSCs to sites of damage; it describes enhanced resistance to oxidative stress and apoptosis instead. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredWhen exposed to an inflammatory milieu, MSCs can orchestrate local and systemic innate and adaptive immune responses through direct cell contact or remotely secreting immune modulators including TGF-β1, HGF, PGE2, IDO, NO, HO-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-11, IL-25, IL-1Rα, PD-L1, PD-L2, TSG6, HNF4α, HLA-G5, and galectin.
“When exposed to an inflammatory milieu, MSCs can orchestrate local and systemic innate and adaptive immune responses through direct cell contact or remotely secreting immune modulators, including but not limited to TGF-β1, HGF, PGE2, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), NO, HO-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-11, IL-25, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Rα), programmed death-ligand (PD-L) 1 (B7-H1), PD-L2 (B”
From Mechanisms, efficacy, and future perspectives of cellular-based therapies for liver fibrosis/cirrhosis: focusing on mesenchymal stromal cells (2025) · cites this paper as [133]
The ‘Immune modulators expressed by MSCs’ section (page unavailable) supports immune modulation through cell contact and many of the listed factors; it also states that MSCs generate NO. However, the passages found do not identify IL-6, IL-11, IL-25, or HNF4α as MSC-secreted immune modulators. The section further says HO-1 expression decreases rapidly when MSCs are activated by pro-inflammatory factors, so the list overgeneralizes what MSCs secrete in an inflammatory milieu.

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.
