Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells MSCs could be effective in the treatment of several autoimmune diseases. However there has been thus far no report on umbilical cord UC -MSCs in the treatment of RA. Here potential immunosuppressive effects of human UC-MSCs in RA were evaluated. Methods The effects of UC-MSCs on the responses of fibroblast-like synoviocytes FLSs and T cells in RA patients were explored. The possible molecular mechanism mediating this immunosuppressive effect of UC-MSCs was explored by addition of inhibitors to indoleamine 2 3-dioxygenase IDO Nitric oxide NO prostaglandin E2 PGE2 transforming growth factor P1 TGF-P1 and interleukin 10 IL-10 . The therapeutic effects of systemic infusion of human UC-MSCs on collagen-induced arthritis CIA in a mouse model were explored. Results In vitro UC-MSCs were capable of inhibiting proliferation of FLSs from RA patients via IL-10 IDO and TGF-P1. Furthermore the invasive behavior and IL-6 secretion of FLSs were also significantly suppressed. On the other hand UC-MSCs induced hyporesponsiveness of T cells mediated by PGE2 TGF-P1 and NO and UC-MSCs could promote the expansion of CD4 Foxp3 regulatory T cells from RA patients. More importantly systemic infusion of human UC-MSCs reduced the severity of CIA in a mouse model. Consistently there were reduced levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines .
