RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are used for prophylaxis of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Not all samples of MSC are efficient for aGvHD prevention. The suitability of MSCs for aGvHD prophylaxis was studied. METHODS: MSCs were derived from the bone marrow (BM) of HCT donor and cultivated for no more than three passages. The characteristics of donor BM samples including colony-forming unit fibroblast (CFU-F) concentration, growth parameters of MSCs, and the relative expression levels (REL) of different genes were analyzed. MSCs were injected intravenously precisely at the moment of blood cell reconstitution. RESULTS: MSCs infusion induced a significant threefold decrease in aGvHD development and improved overall survival compared with the standard prophylaxis group. In ineffective MSC samples (9.4%), a significant decrease in total cell production and the REL of CSF1, FGFR1, and PDGFRB was observed. In all studied BM samples, the cumulative MSC production and CFU-F concentrations decreased with age. The expression levels of FGFR2, PPARG, and VEGF differed by age. CONCLUSIONS: A universal single indicator for the prediction of MSC eligibility for aGvHD prophylaxis was not identified. A multiparameter mathematical model for selecting MSC samples effective for the prevention of aGvHD was proposed.

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) have been demonstrated to produce mature stromal cells and maintain hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). It was previously demonstrated that interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) stimulates the growth of the stromal microenvironment in vivo. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of IL-1 beta treatment of human MMSCs on their proliferative potential, gene expression, immunomodulating properties, and their ability to support HPCs in vitro. Human bone marrow-derived MMSCs were cultivated in standard conditions or with IL-1 beta. The cumulative cell production was assessed for five passages. After withdrawal of IL-1 beta, MMSC clonal efficiency was investigated, and the maintenance of HPCs on top of MMSCs layers was estimated using cobblestone area forming cell (CAFC) and long-term culture initiating cell (LTC-IC) assays. The effect of untreated MMSCs or MMSCs pretreated with IL-1 beta on lymphocyte proliferation was studied by CFSE staining. The relative expression level of various genes by MMSCs was analyzed using RT-qPCR. The administration of IL-1 beta elevated MMSCs clonal efficiency and total cell production but did not affect lymphocyte proliferation. MMSCs pretreatment with IL-1 beta enhanced their ability to maintain HPCs, as detected by CAFC assay, and it altered the expression levels of genes participating in HPC regulation by stromal cells, e.g., adhesion molecules (ICAM1) and growth factors (SDF1). This study revealed the ability of IL-1 beta to stimulate MMSCs proliferation and enhance their potential to maintain HPCs. MMSCs are considered a stromal niche component in vitro. The combined in vitro and previous in vivo data suggest that IL-1 beta is a systemic regulator of the stromal microenvironment.
