• Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are thought to be a promising therapeutic agent due to their multiple paracrine and immunomodulatory properties, providing protection from chronic inflammation and promoting tissue repair. MSCs can regulate the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors in inflamed tissues, creating a microenvironment necessary for successful healing; however, their interactions with immune cells are still poorly studied. We examined the temporal and spatial changes in gene regulation and the paracrine milieu accompanying the MSC-mediated immunosuppression effect in mixed cultures with activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Our data reveal that the peak of suppression of PBMC proliferation was achieved within 48 h following co-culture with MSCs and subsequently did not undergo a significant change. This effect was accompanied by an increase in COX-2 expression and an induction of IDO synthesis in MSCs. At this point, the expression of IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ, MCP-1, and G-CSF was upregulated in co-cultured cells. On the contrary, we observed a decrease in the concentrations of IL-10, IL-13, IL-5, and MIP-1b in co-culture supernatants compared to intact cultures of activated PBMCs. The regulation of IDO, IL-1, IL-6, and G-CSF production was accomplished with the involvement of direct cell-cell contact between MSCs and PBMCs. These findings provide new insights into the use of potential precondition inducers or their combinations to obtain functionally qualified MSCs for more effective treatment of inflammatory diseases.
