Abstract

Resolution-phase macrophage population orchestrates active dampening of the inflammation by secreting anti-inflammatory and proresolving products including interleukin (IL)-10 and lipid mediators. We investigated the effects of both human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) on mature human regulatory macrophages (Mregs). The cytokines and lipid mediators were determined from cell culture media of Mregs cultivated with MSCs and MSC-EVs. Additionally, the alterations in the expression of cell surface markers and the phagocytic ability of Mregs were investigated. Our novel findings indicate that both MSC co-culture and MSC-EVs down-regulated the production of IL-23 and IL-22 enhancing the anti-inflammatory phenotype of Mregs and amplifying proresolving properties. The levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were substantially upregulated in MSC co-culture media, which may endorse proresolving lipid mediator class switching. Additionally, our results manifest, for the first time, that MSC-EVs mediate the Mreg phenotype change via PGE2. These data suggest that both human MSC and MSC-EVs may potentiate tolerance-promoting proresolving phenotype of human Mregs.

Figures

Figure 1 Phenotypes of M1, M2, and Mreg subtypes. The antibody staining was performed with PE-CD80, PE-Cy7-CD86, BV421-CD163, and APC-CD206 according to the manufacturers’ instructions. The median fluorescence intensities (left panel) and frequencies of positive cells (right panel) were determined with flow cytometry analysis. The significance in pairwise variation between M1 and Mreg, and M2 and Mreg was analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results are presented as median with interquartile range. The number of biological replicates varied from 3 to 13. Abbreviations: FRI, fluorescence intensity; M1, classically activated “host defense” macrophage; M2, alternatively activated “wound-healing” macrophage; Mreg, regulatory macrophage.

The values of cell culture media cytokines were log10-transformed. The significance in pairwise variation between M1 and Mreg, and M2 and Mreg was analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test, and the results are expressed as median with interquartile range. The number of biological replicates varies from 3 (for M1 and M2) to 15 for Mreg.

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.
