Tissue-resident mesenchymal stem cells attract peripheral blood neutrophils and enhance their inflammatory activity in response to microbial challenge
Abstract
Human MSCs may respond to TLR ligation, and recent research has suggested that many tissues contain tissue-specific MSCs, possibly located in periendothelial and perivascular regions. At present, the functional consequences of these findings are unclear. We hypothesized that tissue-specific MSCs could play an instructional role during early phases of bacterial challenge. To investigate this hypothesis further, we set up a coculture system of glandular MSCs and peripheral blood neutrophils so that we could analyze the cellular interactions of these cells in response to LPS challenge. We found that stimulation with bacterial endotoxin induced chemokine receptor expression and mobility of MSCs. Activated MSCs secreted large amounts of inflammatory cytokines and recruited neutrophils in an IL-8- and MIF-dependent manner. Recruited and activated neutrophils showed a prolonged lifespan, an increased expression of inflammatory chemokines, and an enhanced responsiveness toward subsequent challenge with LPS. Our findings demonstrate a complex, functional interaction between tissue-resident MSCs and peripheral blood neutrophils upon bacterial challenge and suggest a role for MSCs in the early phases of pathogen challenge, when classical immune cells have not been recruited yet.

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.
