| Abstract: | Background/AimsAlthough several studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) exhibit beneficial immunomodulatory properties in preclinical models of allergic asthma, effects on airway remodeling have been controversial. Recent evidence has shown that MSCs modify their in vivo immunomodulatory actions depending on the specific inflammatory environment encountered. Accordingly, we assessed whether the therapeutic properties of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) could be potentiated by conditioning these cells with serum (hMSC-serum) obtained from patients with asthma and then transplanted in an experimental model of house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergic asthma.MethodshMSC and hMSC-serum were administered intratracheally 24 h after the final HDM challenge. hMSC viability and inflammatory mediator production, lung mechanics and histology, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cellularity and biomarker levels, mitochondrial structure and function as well as macrophage polarization and phagocytic capacity were assessed.ResultsSerum preconditioning led to: (i) increased hMSC apoptosis and expression of transforming growth factor-β, interleukin (IL)-10, tumor necrosis factor-α–stimulated gene 6 protein and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1; (ii) fission and reduction of the intrinsic respiratory capacity of mitochondria; and (iii) polarization of macrophages to M2 phenotype, which may be associated with a greater percentage of hMSCs phagocytosed by macrophages. Compared with mice receiving hMSCs, administration of hMSC-serum led to further reduction of collagen fiber content, eotaxin levels, total and differential cellularity and increased IL-10 levels in BALF, improving lung mechanics. hMSC-serum promoted greater M2 macrophage polarization as well as macrophage phagocytosis, mainly of apoptotic hMSCs.ConclusionsSerum from patients with asthma led to a greater percentage of hMSCs phagocytosed by macrophages and triggered immunomodulatory responses, resulting in further reductions in both inflammation and remodeling compared with non-preconditioned hMSCs. |
