Wang et al.[37]

In vitro assessment of osteogenically differentiated MSCs from swine

No increase in SLAI. Slight increase in SLAII. Osteogenically differentiated MSCs were equivalently immunogenic as undifferentiated MSCs

Osteogenically differentiated and undifferentiated MSCs displayed equivalent immunosuppressive ability

Liu et al.[7]

Osteogenically differentiated rabbit MSCs; ectopic transplant

Osteogenically differentiated MSCs lacked surface MHCII. No difference in in vitro immunogenicity or susceptibility to cytotoxic lysis

No difference in immunosuppressive ability between differentiated and undifferentiated MSCs

NT

Upregulation of MHCII on implanted dMSCs

Implanted allogeneic dMSCs produced osteonectin and osteopontin in vivo

No increased rejection of allogeneic skin grafts after dMSC treatment

NT

Le Blanc et al.[38]

In vitro assessment of human dMSCs

No significant increase in in vitro immunogenicity despite increase in HLAI cell surface expression

Osteogenically differentiated MSCs retained their immunosuppressive ability in vitro

Allogeneic MSCs in allogeneic bone matrix to radial defect in New Zealand White rabbit

NT

Both autologous and allogeneic MSCs were capable of facilitating bone regeneration

NT

Initial bone quality index equivalent between autologous and allogeneic MSCs, but significantly higher in autologous MSC-treated group after 12 weeks

No cellular infiltrate observed

Arinzeh et al.[32]

Scaffold loaded allogeneic MSCs to canine critical sized femoral defect

Implanted allogenic MSC detected up to 16 weeks

Bone regeneration observed at 16 weeks

No lymphocytic infiltration observed

No alloantibodies detected

Allogeneic osteoprogenitors require immunosuppression to form bone

T and B cell infiltration to allogeneic graft. Effects were mediated by immunosuppression

MHCI knock-down MSC-treated animals showed better bone regeneration

Higher frequency of circulating activated lymphocytes in animals treated with wild-type MSCs

OI patients who had previously received bone marrow transplants administered MSCs derived from the same donor

5 of 6 patients demonstrated MSC engraftment

5 of 6 patients demonstrated markedly increased growth velocity

Cellular response to viral antigens in some patients

1 patient produced anti-FBS antibodies

Allogeneic foetal liver-derived MSCs to foetus diagnosed with OI

NT

NT

Allogeneic dMSCs detected in bone biopsy at 9 months (up to 7.4%)

NT

Patient growth could be attributed to allogeneic MSC therapy

No memory response against donor undifferentiated MSCs

 
  1. Data related to immunological profile of MSCs both in vitro and in vivo are collated. dMSC, differentiated mesenchymal stem cell; FBS, foetal bovine serum; HLAI, human leukocyte antigen class I; MHCI, major histocompatibility complex class I; MHCII, major histocompatibility class II; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell; NT, not tested; OI, osteogenesis imperfecta; SLAI, swine leukocyte antigen class I; SLAII, swine leukocyte antigen class II.
