BACKGROUND AIMS: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by an overactive immune system, with limited treatment options beyond immunosuppressive drugs or biological response modifiers. Human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hESC-MSCs) represent a novel alternative, possessing diverse immunomodulatory effects. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of hESC-MSCs in treating RA.
METHODS: MSC-like cells were differentiated from hESC (hESC-MSCs) and cultured in vitro. Cell proliferation was assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and Ki-67 staining. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell surface markers, T-cell proliferation and immune cell infiltration. The collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model and bleomycin-induced model of lung fibrosis (BLE) were established and treated with hESC-MSCs intravenously for in vivo assessment. Pathological analyses, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of hESC-MSCs treatment.
RESULTS: Intravenous transplantation of hESC-MSCs effectively reduced inflammation in CIA mice in this study. Furthermore, hESC-MSC administration enhanced regulatory T cell infiltration and activation. Additional findings suggest that hESC-MSCs may reduce lung fibrosis in BLE mouse models, indicating their potential to mitigate complications associated with RA progression. In vitro experiments revealed a significant inhibition of T-cell activation and proliferation during co-culture with hESC-MSCs. In addition, hESC-MSCs demonstrated enhanced proliferative capacity compared with traditional primary MSCs.
CONCLUSIONS: Transplantation of hESC-MSCs represents a promising therapeutic strategy for RA, potentially regulating T-cell proliferation and differentiation.
