Human mesenchymal stromal cells exert HGF dependent cytoprotective effects in a human relevant pre-clinical model of COPD

Abstract: Bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have potent immunomodulatory and tissue reparative properties, which may be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as COPD. This study examined the mechanisms by which human MSCs protect against elastase induced emphysema. Using a novel human relevant pre-clinical model of emphysema the efficacy of human MSC therapy and optimal cell dose were investigated. Protective effects were examined in the lung through histological examination. Furth… Show more

“…While recent years have seen progress in clarifying the manner by which MSC and macrophages interact, the underlying mechanisms behind the phenomena observed in inflammatory diseases are less clear. The current candidates for cell therapy (including MSC and MAPC) suppress inflammation effectively in murine models of inflammatory disease [4,7,13,41,[49][50][51][52]. Efficacy is linked to migration of MSC to target organs, suppression of T cell proliferation, induction of T reg , cytoprotection of damaged tissue and suppression of inflammation.…”

“…A role for PGE 2 has been demonstrated in MSC-and MAPC-mediated suppression of pathology in murine models of GVHD [53,54], while in murine models of colitis TSG-6 production is required for efficacy of BM-MSC [41]. Similarly, preclinical studies using MSC in pulmonary disorders have provided promising results [2,4,26,[55][56][57][58][59][60], with MSC therapy being associated with expansion of T reg , promotion of antiinflammatory macrophages, suppression of Th2-and Th17-associated cytokines and enhanced microbial clearance by macrophages in ARDS [45,48,61].…”

“…Human bone marrow-derived (bm)MSCs reduced fibrosis as analysed by histological scoring of lung sections using the Ashcroft scale; apoptosis as measured by a reduction of DNA strand breaks; and inflammation as seen by a reduction of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels in an elastase-induced mouse model of COPD [10]. Interestingly, findings from our own laboratory indicate that the efficacy of bmMSCs in this model can be improved further if the cells are genetically modified to express the potent protease inhibitor α 1 -antitrypsin [37,38] (S. Geiger, unpublished data).…”
