Multiplex Analysis of Cytokines, Chemokines, Growth Factors, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 Produced by Human Bone Marrow, Adipose Tissue, and Placental Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Comparative analysis of mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from human BM, adipose tissue, and placenta was carried out. The cells were compared by the levels of constitutive, spontaneous, and LPS-induced production of Th1/proinflammatory (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-12, IL-17) and Th2/anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13), chemokines (IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1β), growth factors (IL-7, granulocytic CSF, granulocytic macrophageal CSF, erythropoietin, VEGF, EGF, IGF-1, main FGF), matrix metalloproteinase-9, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1. Mesenchymal stromal cells originating from different tissues were characterized by functional potential for hemopoiesis support (through production of granulocytic CSF, granulocytic macrophage CSF, erythropoietin), immunomodulation (through production of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and chemokines IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1β), and stimulation of reparative processes (through production of VEGF, FGF, IGF-1, IL-6, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, and matrix metalloproteinase-9). By the type and levels of spontaneous (basal) production of cytokines, the adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells more distinctly demonstrated the proinflammatory (IL-1β, TNF-α), immunoregulatory (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1β), and hemopoiesis-stimulating (granulocytic CSF, granulocytic macrophage CSF) phenotype and at the same time were characterized by lower sensitivity to lipopolysaccharide stimulation than BM and placental mesenchymal cells.
