Zusammenfassung:Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are promising cellular therapeutics for the treatment of inflammatory and degenerative disorders due to their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and regenerative potentials. MSCs can be sourced from a variety of tissues within the body, but bone marrow is the most frequently used starting material for clinical use. The chemokine family contains many regulators of inflammation, cellular function and cellular migration-all critical factors in understanding the potential potency of a novel cellular therapeutic. In this review, we focus on expression of chemokine receptors and chemokine ligands by MSCs isolated from different tissues. We discuss the differential migratory, angiogenetic and immunomodulatory potential to understand the role that tissue source of MSC may play within a clinical context. Furthermore, this is strongly associated with leukocyte recruitment, immunomodulatory potential and T cell inhibition potential and we hypothesize that chemokine profiling can be used to predict the in vivo therapeutic potential of MSCs isolated from new sources and compare them to BM MSCs.
