Abstract

Heterogeneity of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs, frequently referred to as “mesenchymal stem cells”) clouds biological understanding and hampers their clinical development. In MSC cultures most commonly used in research and therapy, we have identified an MSC subtype characterized by CD317 expression (CD317pos(29.77 ± 3.00% of the total MSC population), comprising CD317dim(28.10 ± 4.60%) and CD317bright(1.67 ± 0.58%) MSCs) and a constitutive interferon signature linked to human disease. We demonstrate that CD317posMSCs induced cutaneous tissue damage when applied a skin explant model of inflammation, whereas CD317negMSCs had no effect. Only CD317negMSCs were able to suppress proliferative cycles of activated human T cellsin vitro, whilst CD317posMSCs increased polarization towards pro-inflammatory Th1 cells and CD317negcell lines did not. Using anin vivoperitonitis model, we found that CD317negand CD317posMSCs suppressed leukocyte recruitment but only CD317negMSCs suppressed macrophage numbers. Using MSC-loaded scaffolds implanted subcutaneously in immunocompromised mice we were able to observe tissue generation and blood vessel formation with CD317negMSC lines, but not CD317posMSC lines. Our evidence is consistent with the identification of an immune stromal cell, which is likely to contribute to specific physiological and pathological functions and influence clinical outcome of therapeutic MSCs.
