Immunogenic potential of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells is enhanced by hyperthermia

BACKGROUND AIMS: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been reported to suppress T-cell proliferation and used to alleviate the symptoms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). MSCs are a mixed cell population and at this time there are no tools to isolate the cells responsible for the T-cell suppression. We wanted to find a way to enhance the immune-modulatory actions of MSCs and tried varying the temperature at which they were cultured.

METHODS: We cultured human MSCs derived from healthy volunteers at different temperatures and tested their ability to switch macrophage character from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory (M1 type to M2 type). Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we showed that when MSCs are cultured at higher temperatures their ability to induce co-cultured macrophages to produce more interleukin-10, (IL-10) (an anti-inflammatory cytokine) and less tumor necrosis factor alpha, (TNFα) (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) is increased. We performed Western blots and immunocytochemistry to screen for changes that might underlie this effect.

RESULTS: We found that in hyperthermia the heat shock protein, HSF1, translocated into the nucleus of MSCs. It appears to induce the COX2/PGE2 (Cyclooxygenase2/Prostaglandin E2) pathway described earlier as a major mechanism of MSC-directed immune-suppression.

CONCLUSION: Hyperthermia increases the efficacy of MSC-driven immune-suppression. We propose that changing the time of MSC administration to patients to mid-to-late afternoon when the body temperature is naturally highest might be beneficial. Warming the patient could also be considered.
