In vitro immunogenicity

In vitro immunosuppressive ability

In vivo immune marker expression

In vivo functional benefits

In vivo cellular response

In vivo antibody response

Ryan et al.[5]

Allogeneic rat chondrogenically differentiated MSCs implanted subcutaneously

Increased T-cell proliferation and activation. Increased susceptibility to allo-specific cytotoxic lysis. Granzyme B + CD8+ T cells generated against dMSCs

Immunosuppressive ability lost after differentiation. PGE2 and NO secretion significantly reduced

Extensive cellular infiltration leading to graft damage

CD3+ and CD68+ immune cell infiltration. Local and systemic cellular memory response to dMSCs; this response only seen locally and without encapsulation in undifferentiated MSCs

Increased anti-donor antibody levels. Th1 type antibody response

Zheng et al.[53]

Human RA patients' T cells with allogeneic chondrogenically differentiated MSCs

No collagen II-specific T-cell proliferation to dMSCs

dMSCs could suppress allogeneic T-cell proliferation and activation.

dMSCs could suppress CD4+ and CD8+ inflammatory cytokine production.

dMSCs and undifferentiated MSCs secreted similar TGFβ1 levels

  1. Data related to immunological profile of MSCs both in vitro and in vivo are collated. dMSC, differentiated mesenchymal stem cell; HLA-ABC, human leukocyte antigen ABC; HLA-DR, human leukocyte antigen DR; IFN-γ, interferon-γ; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell; NO, nitric oxide; NT, not tested; PGE2, prostaglandin E2; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; TGFβ1, transforming growth factor β1.
