异基因骨髓间充质干细胞对类风湿关节炎患者淋巴细胞的影响

目的 探讨在体外环境中,异基因骨髓间充质干细胞(BMSCs)对类风湿关节炎(RA)患者T、B淋巴细胞的增殖和功能成熟的影响.方法 采集健康供者的骨髓标本,经密度梯度离心分离、纯化获得其BMSCs,进行体外培养扩增.同时采集RA患者的外周血,分离单个核细胞.将来源于健康供者的BMSCs与来源于RA患者的单个核细胞在体外进行共培养,同时分别加入T淋巴细胞和B淋巴细胞刺激物.分别检测异基因BMSCs对RA患者T、B淋巴细胞增殖的影响;正常BMSCs对RA患者T淋巴细胞增殖周期和凋亡的影响;BMSCs对RA患者外周血T淋巴细胞CD3、CD4、CD8、CD25表达的影响;以及BMSCs对B细胞分泌IgG的影响.结果 正常骨髓来源的BMSCs对RA患者T、B淋巴细胞增殖均有抑制作用,并且这种抑制作用与BMSCs的剂量呈依赖性;与BMSCs共培养组的T细胞主要处于G0/G1期,而进入细胞增殖周期的细胞比例减少,同叶与BMSCs共培养组的凋亡比例(15.2±0.6)%明显低于单纯T细胞活化组(28.2±1.8)%;与BMSCs共培养后CD3+CD4+T细胞表达阳性率(34±6)较对照组(44±7)降低(P<0.05),CD25+的表达下降,但CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞数(4.9±2.3)增加(P<0.05).在SAC刺激下,健康人BMSCs与RA患者外周血淋巴细胞共培养后IgG分泌升高.结论 异基因BMSCs对RA患者T、B淋巴细胞的增殖和功能成熟均有影响,BMSCs可能在RA发病和病情进展中起一定的作用,同时证明利用MSCs来调节RA的免疫功能紊乱进行生物治疗是可行的.

Effect of allo-human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on T and B cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis in vitro

Objective To study the effect of allo-human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on T and B cells from patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in vitro. Methods BMSCs were isolated from bone marrow samples of healthy volunteers and purified by density gradient centrifugation and cultured in vitro. Peripheral lymphocytes were isolated from patients with RA.Then, BMSCs and lymphpcutes were co-cultured. The modulatory effect of BMSCs on proliferation, activation and maturation of T and B lymphocytes of RA patients stimulated by PHA and SAC respectively was observed. The cell generation cycle and the degree of apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry with PI/ Annexin V. After co-cultured with or without BMSCs for 72 hours, T cells were harvested, then they were labeled with anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-CD25 antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. The density of IgG in the co-culture system was detected by ELISA. Results T and B cells proliferation was significantly suppressed when co-cuhured with bMSCs but did not induce T cell apoptosis. There was a significant decrease in the ratio of CD4+ CD3+ T cells in the co-cuhure group (34±6), as compared with the control group (44±7) (P<0.05). There was a decrease in CD25+ T cells and increase of CD4+ CD25+ cells in BMSCs co-cultured group (P<0.05). IgG was in creased in the cocuhure system. Conclusion Human BMSCs inhibit T and B cell activation and proliferation in patients with RA in vitro. And these immunomodulatory effects are not MHC restricted. The results of this study have provided evidence for the fact that BMSCs has the potential to be an effective treatment for RA.
