Results

References

IFN-γ and TNF-α

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Induced chromatin remodeling in the IDO1 promoter.

[33]

IFN-γ and TNF- α

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Suppressed T cell proliferation by IDO upregulation and induced greater IL-10-secreting M2 macrophages differentiation.

[31]

IFN-γ and TNF- α

–

–

In vitro

Increased factor H production.

[30]

IFN-γ

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Inhibited T cell effector function through the ligands for PD1 and Th1 cytokines production.

[20]

IFN-γ

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Retained the ability to inhibit the degranulation and proliferation of cytotoxic T cells post-thaw.

[24]

IFN-γ

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Reestablished immunosuppressive effect on T-cell proliferation and did not upregulate HLA-DR of senescent MSC.

[25]

IFN-γ

Bone marrow

DSS-induced colitis model

In vitro/in vivo (mice)

Attenuated development of colitis, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in colon and increased migration potential.

[26]

IFN-γ

Umbilical cord

Healthy donor/tissue

In vitro

Increased suppression of NK cells and reduced NK-mediated cytotoxicity.

[21]

IL-1α and IL-1β

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Increased secretion of G-CSF through IL-1 receptor type 1, reduced the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α in microglial cells.

[53]

IL-1β

Umbilical cord

DSS-induced colitis model

In vitro/in vivo (mice)

Attenuated the development of murine colitis, increased migration potential to inflammatory sites by CXCR4 upregulation.

[52]

IL-1β

Bone marrow

Healthy donor/tissue

In vitro

Induced the secretion of trophic factors and adhesion to ECM components; enhanced recruitment of leucocytes by NF-κB pathway.

[51]

FGF-2

Dental pulp

Subcutaneous implantation of priming MSCs encapsulated in a 3D collagen matrix

In vitro/in vivo (mice)

Increased VEGF and HGF secretion and improved vascularization in vivo.

[56]

TNF-α and LPS

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Increased alkaline phosphate activity and bone mineralization.

[50]

IL-17A

Bone marrow

–

In vitro

Increased suppressive potential of T cell proliferation correlated with increased IL-6, inhibited surface CD25 and Th1 cytokines expression, and induced iTregs.
