ABSTRACT
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are known for their immunomodulatory activity. Here, we report that MSCs isolated from the amniotic membrane of human term placenta (hAMSCs) impact CD8 T cell fate through a multifaceted mechanism. We observed that hAMSCs are able to impact the metabolism of naive CD8 lymphocytes by downregulating the phosphorylation of mTOR and AKT, thus blocking cell differentiation. This effect is due to the ability of hAMSCs to reduce the expression of two receptors, IL-12Rß1 and IL-2RA, resulting in reduced phosphorylation of STAT4 and STAT5. In addition, hAMSCs reduce the expression of two transcriptional factors, Tbet and Eomes, directly involved in early effector cell commitment. Our results unravel an unknown feature of MSCs, offering alternative mechanistic insights into the effects of MSCs for the treatment of diseases characterized by an altered activation of memory subsets, such as autoimmune diseases and graft versus host disease.
