They can be used for drug and toxicity screenings in preclinical studies, as <italic>in vitro</italic> model to study differentiation or for regenerative medicine to aid in the repair of tissues or replace tissues that are lost upon disease, injury or ageing. Multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are two types of adult stem cells derived from bone marrow that are currently being used clinically for tissue regeneration and for their immunomodulatory and trophic effects. This review will give an overview of the phenotypic and functional differences between human MAPCs and MSCs, with a strong emphasis on their immunological characteristics. Finally, we will discuss the clinical studies in which MSCs and MAPCs are already used.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name

They can be used for drug and toxicity screenings in preclinical studies, as <italic>in vitro</italic> model to study differentiation or for regenerative medicine to aid in the repair of tissues or replace tissues that are lost upon disease, injury or ageing. Multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are two types of adult stem cells derived from bone marrow that are currently being used clinically for tissue regeneration and for their immunomodulatory and trophic effects. This review will give an overview of the phenotypic and functional differences between human MAPCs and MSCs, with a strong emphasis on their immunological characteristics. Finally, we will discuss the clinical studies in which MSCs and MAPCs are already used.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>multipotent adult progenitor cells</kwd><kwd>mesenchymal stem cells</kwd><kwd>phenotype</kwd><kwd>immunomodulation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec><title>Comparison of human MSCs and MAPCs</title><p>Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) co-exist in the bone marrow (BM) with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and have the potential to differentiate towards lineages of mesenchymal origin, including bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, smooth muscle and hematopoietic supportive stroma.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib1">1</xref></sup> Although originally isolated from BM, MSCs have since been isolated from many other tissues, including adipose tissue, synovial fluid, periosteum, umbilical cord blood and several fetal tissues.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib5">5</xref></sup></p><p>Once established in culture, MSCs display a variety of cell surface antigens that may vary depending on the isolation and expansion methods used.

Sachetti <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib12">12</xref></sup> found that self-renewing osteoprogenitors in human BM, able to generate bone, stroma and organize a hematopoietic microenvironment <italic>in vivo</italic>, are CD146<sup>high</sup> (a melanoma-associated cell adhesion molecule). These CD146<sup>+</sup> cells are located in the subendothelial layer of BM sinusoids and represent adventitial reticular cells, a subpopulation of pericytes. As pericytes are found in nearly every other organ, it has been hypothesized that all MSCs found in different tissues are also derived from the pericyte fraction in vessels. Indeed, Crisan <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib13">13</xref></sup> isolated hMSCs based on a combination of pericyte-expressed antigens (CD146, NG2 (nerve/glial antigen 2) and PDGFRβ (platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β)) from multiple organs (including skeletal muscle, BM, umbilical cord blood, placenta, pancreas and white adipose tissue). Interestingly, they demonstrated that these cells, irrespective of the tissue of origin, were skeletal myogenic <italic>in vivo</italic> and <italic>ex vivo</italic> and exhibited, at the clonal level, adipo-, osteo- and chondrogenic potential <italic>in vitro</italic> and formed calcified tissue <italic>in vivo</italic>.</p><p>In 2002, the group of Catherine Verfaillie described the derivation of rare cells from rat and mouse BM with characteristics different from most adult stem cells. The cells, termed multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), could proliferate without senescence and could, at the single cell level, differentiate <italic>in vitro</italic> into cells of the three germ layers.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib14">14</xref></sup> When injected into the blastocyst, a single MAPC of one of the murine lines could contribute to most somatic tissues, albeit in general, the contribution was very low. Upon transplantation in a non-irradiated recipient, mouse MAPCs engrafted at low levels into the hematopoietic lineage and the epithelium from the lung, gut and liver. Rodent MAPCs were cultured at low density and in the presence of leukemia inhibitory factor, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor. They were significantly smaller in size than their MSC counterpart and did not express MHC class I and CD44 antigens. Like MSCs, they did not express CD45 or other mature hematopoietic markers.</p><p>Since 2003, culture conditions under which rodent MAPCs are isolated have changed, including isolation and maintenance at 5% oxygen, use of a different serum and maintenance at higher cell densities for the first 4 weeks in culture, compared with the previously described MAPCs. These studies have shown that rodent MAPCs can only be detected after 2–3 months of <italic>in vitro</italic> culture. This is associated with an abrupt change in cell morphology accompanied by the expression of the embryonic stem cell (ESC)-associated transcription factor <italic>Oct4</italic> (but not <italic>Nanog</italic> and <italic>Sox2</italic>) and the primitive endoderm-specific genes <italic>Gata6</italic>, <italic>Gata4</italic>, <italic>Sox7</italic> and <italic>Sox17</italic>.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib17">17</xref></sup> As such, rodent MAPCs resemble extraembryonic endoderm cells (Xen cells)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib18">18</xref></sup> and extraembryonic endoderm precursor cells (Xen-P cells).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref></sup> The levels of <italic>Oct4</italic> mRNA in these newly isolated mouse MAPCs range from 1% to 10% compared with mouse ESCs and are nearly equivalent to mouse ESCs for rat MAPCs.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib15">15</xref></sup> Compared with the initially described MAPCs, mouse MAPCs now express high levels of c-kit and rat MAPCs express high levels of CD31. These high <italic>Oct4</italic> MAPCs also show robust differentiation towards endothelium and hepatocyte-like cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib15">15</xref></sup> Ross <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib20">20</xref></sup> showed that MAPCs can form smooth muscle cells, which are phenotypically and functionally similar to primary mature smooth muscle cells. A four-step protocol mimicking the embryonic development of the liver was developed to allow differentiation of rodent high <italic>Oct4</italic> MAPCs, in a similar fashion as mouse and human ESCs, towards functional hepatocytes-like cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib21">21</xref></sup> Rodent MAPCs, like MSCs, also differentiate towards adipo-, chondro- and osteocytes.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib22">22</xref></sup> Although the originally isolated rodent MAPCs differentiated robustly towards the neuroectodermal lineage, thereby generating neuron-like cells with electrophysiological properties similar to CNS neurons,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib23">23</xref></sup> it is unclear whether the newer MAPC lines can be differentiated beyond the Sox2/Pax6 neural progenitor stage.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib15">15</xref></sup></p><p>Similarly to rodent MAPCs, human MAPCs (hMAPCs) can also be expanded long term, and several groups have shown that they can differentiate not only towards mesenchymal cell types (adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes and smooth muscle cells) but also towards endothelium (which can be specified to both venous and arterial), skeletal muscle and hepatocyte-like cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib20">20</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib24">24</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib25">25</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib26">26</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib27">27</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib28">28</xref></sup> In contrast to rodent MAPCs, hMAPCs do not require LIF for their self-renewal and do not express significant levels of <italic>Oct4</italic>. When grafted <italic>in vivo</italic> in a model of severe limb ischemia, hMAPCs significantly increased angiogenesis and endogenous stem cell proliferation, leading to less ischemia and therefore improved skeletal muscle function.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib29">29</xref></sup></p><p>A recent comparative analysis between hMAPCs and hMSCs has shown that they can be considered as two distinct cell populations (<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib30">30</xref></sup> hMAPCs could be expanded <italic>in vitro</italic> for >70 population doublings, which was significantly longer than hMSCs (20–25 population doublings). Four surface proteins were found to be differentially expressed: alkaline phosphatase, CD140a and CD140b were not expressed on hMAPCs, whereas hMSCs expressed alkaline phosphatase and CD140a at low levels and CD140b at high levels, and finally MHC class I was highly expressed on hMSCs but at lower levels on hMAPCs.</p><p>Furthermore, both cell types could differentiate into typical mesenchymal cell types, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, chrondocytes and smooth muscle cells, but only hMAPCs showed robust endothelial differentiation. Finally, a transcriptome analysis revealed hMAPCs and hMSCs as two distinct cell populations, with each expressing a set of characteristic genes that correlated with the functional ability of the cells. Whether hMSCs and hMAPCs represent truly different cell types <italic>in vivo</italic> is not known yet, but the study from Roobrouck <italic>et al.</italic><sup>30</sup> showed that the <italic>in vitro</italic> characteristics of the cells are, at least, partially dependent on the culture conditions.</p></sec><sec><title>Immunogenicity and immunomodulatory capacities of hMSCs <italic>in vitro</italic></title><sec><title>Adaptive immune system</title><p>MSCs interact with a wide range of immune cells and their interaction with allogeneic T cells has been studied by many groups. First, MSCs have been demonstrated to be poor stimulators of an <italic>in vitro</italic> allogeneic T-cell response and fail to induce activation of allogeneic T cells. To adequately activate T cells, two signals are required.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib31">31</xref></sup> The first signal involves the recognition of MHC molecules together with an antigen on the surface of an antigen-presenting cell (APC) by the T-cell receptor. Subsequently, T-cell activation requires a costimulatory signal involving interaction of CD28 on the T cell with CD80 or CD86 (B7 superfamily) on the APC. MSCs express low levels of MHC class I molecules on their surface but lack the expression of MHC class II and the costimulatory molecules CD80, CD86 or CD40. The expression of both MHC class I and class II can be upregulated upon stimulation with interferon (IFN)-γ. However, this upregulation was not sufficient to enhance the immunogenicity of MSCs.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib32">32</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib33">33</xref></sup> In addition, Klyushnenkova <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib32">32</xref></sup> showed that the lack of T-cell response was not due to a deficiency in co-stimulatory signals, as retroviral transduction of MSCs with B7-1 or B7-2 did not result in T-cell proliferation. Accordingly, Tse <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib34">34</xref></sup> showed that IFN-γ pretreated MSCs, even in combination with direct costimulation via an anti-CD28 antibody could not induce a T-cell proliferative response. Aside from that, they showed that the lack of proliferation was not due to MSC-induced T-cell apoptosis.</p><p>Second, MSCs have been shown to suppress both naive and memory T lymphocyte activation and proliferation induced by alloantigens,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib33">33</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref></sup> mitogens<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib37">37</xref></sup> and CD3 and CD28 antibodies.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib33">33</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib38">38</xref></sup> This suppression is without any MHC restriction as it can be mediated by both autologous and allogeneic MSCs.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib39">39</xref></sup> Most studies agree that a soluble factor is involved, as MSCs are suppressive when MSCs and T lymphocytes are separated by a semi-permeable membrane.</p><p>Several candidate mediators have been postulated, but the available data are often contradictory. A role for transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been suggested by Di Nicola <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref></sup>, who found that antibodies against TGF-β and HGF partially restored proliferation of purified T cells stimulated with allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes. TGF-β and HGF were not involved when T cells were stimulated with mitogens<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib37">37</xref></sup> or when peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used as responder cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib34">34</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib40">40</xref></sup> Aggarwal <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref></sup> demonstrated that inhibition of the prostaglandin E<sub>2</sub> (PGE<sub>2</sub>) synthesis abrogated the suppressive effect of MSCs on T-cell proliferation. PGE<sub>2</sub> was found to be constitutively produced by MSCs, and the production was even enhanced upon coculture of MSCs with PBMC.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib34">34</xref></sup> The attribution of PGE<sub>2</sub> in the suppression by MSC was confirmed by Rasmusson <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib41">41</xref></sup> who showed that indomethacin (an inhibitor of PGE<sub>2</sub> synthesis) could restore MSC-mediated suppression of T-cell proliferation, but only when T cells were stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin, and not in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Another candidate mediator has been suggested by Meisel <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib39">39</xref></sup> who described a role for indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in the suppression by MSCs. The expression of IDO in professional APCs catalyzes conversion of tryptophan to kynurenine and has been identified as a major immunosuppressive effector pathway that inhibits T-cell responses to autoantigens and fetal alloantigens <italic>in vivo</italic>.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib42">42</xref></sup> In MSCs, the expression of IDO is not constitutive but can be induced by IFN-γ. Addition of tryptophan restored T-cell proliferation suppressed by MSCs.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib39">39</xref></sup> However, tryptophan depletion was not responsible for the immunosuppressive effect of MSCs when unfractionated PBMCs were used as responder cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib34">34</xref></sup> Many factors contribute to all these conflicting data. The kind of responder population (unseparated mononuclear cells versus purified T cells) as well as the stimulator used might alter the mechanism of suppression by MSCs. More recently, other mediators in MSC-mediated immunosuppression have been suggested. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G protein, which is a nonclassical HLA class I molecule, was found to mediate the suppressive effect of MSCs through the induction of proliferation of regulatory T cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib43">43</xref></sup> MSCs have also been reported to induce the production of interleukin (IL)-10 by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DC), which in turn trigger the generation of regulatory T cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib44">44</xref></sup> In addition, galectins are now emerging as a main regulator of MSC immunosuppressive function.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib45">45</xref></sup></p><p>Di Nicola <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref></sup> demonstrated that the suppressive effect of hMSCs on mitogen-induced allogeneic T-cell proliferation is only transient. This is in contrast to the findings on murine MSCs, which induce a condition of anergy due to divisional arrest of T cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib46">46</xref></sup></p><p>Studies on the effect of MSCs on B-cell function have been performed, although less frequent and leading to conflicting results. <italic>In vitro</italic> experiments showed that B-cell proliferation was inhibited by hMSCs through an arrest in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. In addition, hMSCs inhibited B-cell differentiation because immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgG and IgA production was significantly impaired, as well as chemotaxis.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib47">47</xref></sup> By contrast, however, others have reported stimulatory effects on <italic>in vitro</italic> activated B cells or plasma cells from healthy donors or patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib48">48</xref></sup></p></sec><sec><title>Innate immune system</title><p>Natural killer (NK) cells are important effector cells of innate immunity. These cells display spontaneous cytolytic activity against cells that lack the expression of MHC class I molecules. Moreover, NK cells are also important graft-versus-leukemia mediators.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib49">49</xref></sup> The function of NK cells is regulated by the balance of the interaction between activating and inhibiting signals with their cell surface receptors. MSCs are known to express low levels of MHC class I molecules, which makes them vulnerable for NK cell-mediated killing.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib50">50</xref></sup> Nevertheless, MSCs are not lysed by freshly isolated resting NK cells, even despite killer-cell Ig-like receptor mismatch between MSC and NK cell donors. On the other hand, both autologous and allogeneic MSCs can be successfully killed by activated NK cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib51">51</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib52">52</xref></sup> This indicates that interactions between MHC class I-specific inhibitory receptors on NK cells and MSCs are not sufficient to protect MSCs from lysis. It is also known that MSCs express ligands for activating NK cell receptors on their surface, like MIC-A (MHC class I-related chain A) and ULBPs (UL16-binding protein; both ligands of NKG2D) as well as PVR (poliovirus receptor) and Nectin-2 (both ligands of DNAM-1 (DNAX accessory molecule-1)). In line with the previously mentioned upregulation of MHC class I on MSCs upon culture with IFN-γ, IFN-γ-treated MSCs were less susceptible to NK cell-mediated lysis.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib52">52</xref></sup></p><p>In addition, MSCs exert an inhibitory effect on NK cells, affecting different aspects of NK cell function such as proliferation, cytotoxic activity and cytokine production. MSCs inhibit the cytokine (IL-2 and IL-15)-driven proliferation of purified NK cells in a dose-dependent way.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib52">52</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib53">53</xref></sup> Even though MSCs did not inhibit the NK cell-mediated lysis of K562 cells, cytokine-stimulated NK cells cocultured with MSCs exhibit a reduced cytolytic function against K562 cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib51">51</xref></sup> Sotiropoulou <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib54">54</xref></sup> could only demonstrate an impaired cytolytic function against MHC class I positive tumor targets.

Different mediators like PGE<sub>2</sub>, IDO, TGF-β and HLA-G have been proposed.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib53">53</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib54">54</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">55</xref></sup></p><p>DC have a critical role in adaptive immunity acting as the primary APC to initiate a T-cell response. This process is essential to initiate adaptive immunity against foreign antigens, but in case of allogeneic transplantation with a non-HLA-identical donor, DC can promote T-cell alloreactivity, leading to graft rejection. Therefore, the interaction between DC and MSCs has been the subject of intensive research. MSCs have been demonstrated to interfere with DC differentiation, maturation and function. First, MSCs inhibit the differentiation of monocytes to immature DC. This effect is reversible and mediated by PGE<sub>2</sub>.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib56">56</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib57">57</xref></sup> Second, consistent data have shown that MSCs interfere with DC maturation. It has been shown that DC cocultured with MSCs exposed to maturation factors, such as lipopolysaccharide or tumor-necrosis factor-α, did not express CD83 and failed to show upregulation of maturation markers, such as MHC class II, CD40 or CD86.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib56">56</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib58">58</xref></sup> In line with these findings, immature DC generated in the presence of MSCs were strongly hampered in their ability to induce activation of T cells. MSC cocultures induced an altered cytokine expression, with reduced IL-12 and increased IL-10 production.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib58">58</xref></sup> Additionally, DC cultured with MSCs have been shown to induce indirect expansion of regulatory T cells. Taken together, these results suggest that MSCs suppress the differentiation of DC, resulting in the formation of immature DC that exhibit a suppressor or inhibitory phenotype.</p></sec></sec><sec><title>Immunogenicity and immunosuppressive capacities of hMAPCs</title><p>hMAPCs express low levels of MHC class I and LFA-3 (CD58) and are negative for MHC class II, the costimulatory molecules CD80, CD86 and CD40 and the adhesion molecule ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1; CD54).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib59">59</xref></sup> Their immune phenotype depends, at least <italic>in vitro</italic>, on the local inflammatory status of the environment. hMAPCs do not induce proliferation of allogeneic T cells, and this is consistent with their immune phenotypic characteristics, such as the lack of expression of MHC class II and co-stimulatory molecules belonging to the B7-family. Pretreatment with IFN-γ, as a model of an inflammatory environment in which cells might be delivered <italic>in vivo</italic>, led to the upregulation of MHC class I, MHC class II and ICAM-I. However, despite this IFN-γ pretreatment, hMAPCs still failed to induce alloreactive T-cell proliferation. hMAPCs do not induce production of T helper type 1 or 2 cytokines upon coculture with allogeneic T cells, although low levels of activation markers on responders T cells were induced.</p><p>So far, it has been shown that hMAPCs exert strong immunosuppressive effects on T-cell proliferation.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib59">59</xref></sup> Furthermore, the suppressive effect was not influenced by MHC compatibility as both autologous and third party stem cells showed similar suppression. These findings are of great clinical relevance because hMAPCs are aimed at being used as an off-the-shelf stem cell product for adoptive cellular therapy. In addition, hMAPCs suppressed T-cell proliferation of memory T cells upon stimulation with recall antigens and of effector T cells during a secondary MLR. Even delayed addition of hMAPCs to a MLR showed similar hMAPC-induced inhibitory effects on alloreactive T cells. These data suggest that hMAPCs can also suppress an ongoing immune response. Importantly, this finding indicates that hMAPCs, when used in clinical settings, can be applied not only for the prevention but also for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases.</p><p>The suppressive effect of hMAPCs was not abrogated by pretreatment with IFN-γ. Hence, hMAPCs might remain immunosuppressive when injected into an inflammatory environment <italic>in vivo</italic>. Third, it was shown that although hMAPCs strongly suppress T-cell allogeneic responses during a primary MLR, they do not prevent priming of T cells, as suppressed T cells show similar secondary responses. hMAPCs did not induce T-cell anergy. Di Nicola <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref></sup> however, reported that the suppressive effect of hMSCs was reversible, but in their study, T cells were stimulated with a mitogen during the primary MLR instead of allogeneic PBMCs as in our experiments. In addition, exogenous rIL-2 could not restore T-cell proliferation suppressed by hMAPCs.</p><p>Subsequently, transwell experiments demonstrated that hMAPCs still exert a suppressive effect, albeit lower, when they are separated from the effector T cells via a membrane. This suggests that the suppression is mediated, at least in part, via a soluble factor, which blocks T-cell proliferation. This hypothesis is supported by the immunosuppressive activity of added supernatants from hMAPC-cultures. However, similar as was shown for hMSCs,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib34">34</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref></sup> the degree of suppression was stronger when cell–cell contact was present. This points to a parallel cell-contact-dependent suppressive activity or to adhesion of immune cells to MAPCs, which strengthen their suppressive function through soluble factors. Several candidate molecules have been proposed as the soluble immunosuppressive factor produced by hMSCs, although data are contradictory. hMAPCs displayed increased IDO activity upon IFN-γ pretreatment and partially lost their suppressive effect on T-cell proliferation by blocking IDO activity. This confirmed that the hMAPC-mediated suppressive effect is dependent, at least in part, on IDO activity. Neither a role for PGE<sub>2</sub> nor for TGF-β and IL-10 was found. Overall, hMAPCs have immunosuppressive properties on T-cell alloreactivity similar as hMSCs, at least <italic>in vitro</italic> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>).</p></sec><sec><title>Clinical experience on immunomodulation by MSCs</title><p>Over the last two decades, MSCs have been brought into the clinic for several purposes.

Researchers observed that autologous MSC infusion at the time of HSCT was feasible and safe. Many studies followed and so far there are no reports of any infusion-related toxicity or ectopic tissue formation.</p><p>Meanwhile, others have studied the influence of MSCs on the engraftment of HSCs in a BM graft. In 2002, Lee <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib71">71</xref></sup> were the first to report the use of allogeneic MSCs in a patient with a hematological malignancy. They reported a patient with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who was transplanted with mobilized peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells in combination with BM-derived MSCs from a HLA-haploidentical donor. The patient engrafted rapidly with no acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and was without any leukemia relapse at 31 months after transplantation. The group of Le Blanc transplanted seven patients in a pilot study together with HLA-identical MSCs in three cases and haploidentical MSCs in four cases to enhance engraftment.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib72">72</xref></sup> Despite notable differences in the patient population, sources of HSCs and MSCs and HLA compatibility, all patients had full donor chimerism within 100 days. Ball <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib73">73</xref></sup> co-transplanted 14 pediatric patients with hematological malignancy and immune deficiency or nonmalignant disorder with haploidentical HSCs together with donor-derived MSCs. Although graft failure in 47 historical controls was 15%, all patients given MSCs showed sustained hematopoietic engraftment without any adverse reaction. Haploidentical MSCs have also been used to enhance hematopoietic reconstitution in a patient suffering from severe aplastic anemia and a second patient with graft failure secondary to incomplete engraftment after autologous HSCT for acute myeloid leukemia.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib74">74</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib75">75</xref></sup> Despite back-up BM infusion, the graft failure persisted in the latter patient, and this patient was infused with MSCs 3 years after the initial HSCT. The authors observed hematopoietic recovery of polymorphonuclear cells and platelets in the absence of additional HSC support. The first patient only showed histological improvement in the BM after MSC administration. Meuleman <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib76">76</xref></sup> transplanted six patients with graft failure after allogeneic HSCT with MSCs without HSC co-infusion. Two of the patients, both transplanted in first complete remission, showed rapid hematopoietic recovery, whereas other patients transplanted at later stages of their disease were unresponsive.</p><p>As it became clear that MSCs have also immunomodulatory properties, they are currently being evaluated in the clinic for the prevention and treatment of GVHD, as well as for a number of autoimmune disorders (for example, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, and so on).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib77">77</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib78">78</xref></sup></p><p>In 2005, Lazarus <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib70">70</xref></sup> reported on a large multicenter clinical trial with 46 patients with hematological malignancies receiving HLA-identical sibling HSCs together with donor-derived MSCs. MSC infusions were well tolerated, without any infusion-related adverse event, but stromal cell chimerism could only be demonstrated in 2 of 19 examined patients at 6 and 18 months after transplantation. Moderate-to-severe acute GVHD was seen in 28% of patients, and chronic GVHD was observed in 61%. Later, in an open-label randomized clinical trial, HLA-identical sibling-matched HSCs were transplanted or cotransplanted with MSCs.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib79">79</xref></sup> They showed that cotransplantation of MSCs with HSCs prevented GVHD (11% in MSC group versus 53% in non-MSC group grades II-IV GVHD). On the other hand, the relapse rate was obviously higher in the MSC group than in the control group (60% versus 20%). More recently, Liu <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib80">80</xref></sup> conducted a randomized controlled phase II study. A total of 55 patients diagnosed with leukemia received MSCs at the same time as haploidentical HSCT. Within 100 days in the treatment group, platelet recovery was faster, incidence of acute GVHD higher (51.8% versus 38.9%, respectively), whereas there was less chronic GVHD (51.4% versus 74.1%, respectively). The overall survival rate did not significantly differ. The authors claim that the heavily pretreated status of their patients together with the low dose of MSCs (10<sup>5</sup> cells kg<sup>−1</sup>) are responsible for the absence of a beneficial effect of MSCs on the prevention of GVHD.</p><p>Based on the demonstration of the ability of MSCs to suppress the proliferation of activated alloreactive T cells, MSCs were used for the treatment of acute GVHD. In a landmark case report, Le Blanc <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib81">81</xref></sup> described the successful therapy of a 9-year-old boy with steroid-resistant grade IV acute GVHD using haploidentical third-party MSCs. Reversal of severe gut and liver GVHD was documented and sustained complete response occurred after the second infusion of MSCs. Subsequently, the group of Le Blanc treated eight additional patients with treatment-resistant acute GVHD of which six patients showed complete response after MSC infusion.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib82">82</xref></sup> Some less impressive reports were published by Muller <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib83">83</xref></sup> who noted improvement of GVHD in only two out of seven pediatric patients receiving haploidentical parental MSCs. Von Bonin <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib84">84</xref></sup> reported beneficial effects of third-party MSCs expanded in platelet lysate-containing medium in 2 of 13 adult patients with acute GVHD. Fang <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib85">85</xref></sup> reported on five of six steroid-refractory acute GVHD patients given adipose-tissue-derived third-party MSCs. Those reports indicate that patient population, timing of MSC infusion and culture and expansion methods can largely influence outcomes. In 2008, the results of a large multicenter non-randomized phase II trial of the European Blood and Marrow Transplant MSC consortium, using the same expansion protocol for the cells and common reagents, were published and confirmed a beneficial effect.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib77">77</xref></sup> Fifty-five patients with steroid-resistant severe acute GVHD were included. Patients received one (<italic>n</italic>=27) or more (<italic>n</italic>=28) MSC infusions with a median dose of 10<sup>6</sup> cells kg<sup>−1</sup>. MSCs were obtained from HLA-identical, haploidentical or unrelated HLA-mismatched donors. A complete response was seen in 30 patients (55%). Most interestingly, there was no difference in response rates with respect to the source of MSCs. This finding paves the way for the establishment of large banks of MSCs enabling rapid availability without the need for HLA typing. In 2010, the abstract of Martin <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib86">86</xref></sup> reported on the first randomized placebo-controlled multicenter phase III trial for the treatment of steroid-resistant acute GVHD using large scale expanded MSCs derived from a healthy third-party donor (Prochymal).

Durable complete remission did not differ between the study groups. However, subgroup analysis paradoxically showed that patients with gut and liver involvement had better response rates with Prochymal compared with patients with skin involvement. Kebriaei <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib87">87</xref></sup> studied the use of MSCs to treat newly diagnosed acute GVHD.

The infusions were well tolerated and the combination of high-dose corticosteroids and Prochymal resulted in complete and partial response in 77% and 16% of cases, respectively. There was no difference with respect to safety or efficacy between the low and high dose of MSCs. Recently, Prochymal was used to treat 12 children with steroid-refractory grade III–IV acute GVHD.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib88">88</xref></sup> They received 2 or 8 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells kg<sup>−1</sup> twice a week for 4 weeks.

A first major concern about the <italic>in vivo</italic> use of hMAPCs is that hMAPCs might interfere with the normal protective immune responses against pathogens. We observed that hMAPCs suppress T-cell proliferation induced by recall antigens. This indicates that the adoptive treatment with hMAPCs might render the host more vulnerable to infections. However, different data derived from the clinical use of MSC therapy in GVHD and allogeneic HSCT showed that anti-viral immune reactions may normally occur following systemic administration.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib73">73</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib77">77</xref></sup></p><p>A second question regarding the adoptive transfer of immunosuppressive cells to prevent GVHD after HSCT involves the influence of these immunosuppressive cells on the desired GVL effect. So far, this has not been studied for hMAPCs. On the contrary and as mentioned before, suppression of the GVL effect by hMSC therapy has been reported. Ning <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib79">79</xref></sup> reported on a randomized clinical trial in which patients with hematological malignancies received HSCs with or without hMSCs. They observed that hMSC therapy had a beneficial effect on the occurrence of GVHD but was associated with a higher relapse rate. This observation highlights the critical effects of hMSC therapy on the balance between GVHD and GVL and underscores the importance of studying further the influence of hMAPCs on the GVL effect in allogeneic HSCT.</p><p>A third issue is the question of whether the immunosuppressive capacities of hMAPCs will be influenced by other immunosuppressive drugs, and this has thus far not been studied for hMAPCs. Standard immunosuppressive treatment following allogeneic HSCT or organ transplantation involves the administration of calcineurin inhibitors, such as cyclosporine A (CSA), tacrolimus or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). These drugs might interfere with the immunosuppressive effects of hMSCs after adoptive transfer. Le Blanc <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib37">37</xref></sup> were the first to show an <italic>in vitro</italic> synergistic effect of CSA on the hMSC-mediated immunosuppression of T-cell reactivity. However, by contrast, Buron <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib99">99</xref></sup> observed that CSA, tacrolimus and rapamycin antagonized hMSC inhibitory effects, whereas MMF promoted the hMSC inhibitory effects. In addition, Eggerhofer <italic>et al.</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib100">100</xref></sup> demonstrated in a rat model of heart transplantation that MSCs and MMF synergistically prevented infiltration of APC and T cells into the graft. By contrast, calcineurin inhibitors have been shown to abrogate the immunosuppressive effect of rat MSC therapy.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib101">101</xref></sup> These observations underline the need to study the appropriate drugs in combination with the adoptive stem cell-mediated immunotherapy.</p><p>In conclusion, the use of stem cell-based immunotherapy is very promising.
