Figures & data

Figure 1. Effects of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the innate immune system. MSCs exert an influence on a variety of cells of the immune system. Mechanisms governing these interactions include secretion of soluble paracrine factors by MSCs and direct cell–cell contact between MSCs and innate immune cells. Abbreviations: IFN gamma (interferon γ), IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase), IL-2 (interleukin 2), IL-6 (interleukin 6), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor α), soluble human leukocyte antigen-G5 (sHLA-G5) M-CSF (monocyte-colony stimulating factor), MHC (major histocompatibility complex), KIR (killer inhibitory receptor), NK(natural killer cell), PD-1(programmed death 1), PD-L1(programmed death ligand1).

Figure 2. Effects of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the adaptive immune system. These effects promote an overall anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive state. Abbreviations: IFN gamma (interferon γ), IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase), IL-2(interleukin 2), IL-4 (interleukin 4) IL-10 (interleukin 10), IL-6 (interleukin 6), IL-12 (interleukin 12), IL-17 (interleukin17),prostaglandin E2(PGE2), transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), induced nitric oxide synthases (iNOS), soluble human leukocyte antigen-G5 (sHLA-G5), ICAM 1(Intercellular adhesion molecule 1), LFA 1(Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1), TH 2 (T helper 1), Treg (T regulatory).
