Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be derived from various adult tissues with multipotent and self-renewal abilities. The characteristics of presenting no major ethical concerns, having low immunogenicity and possessing immune modulation functions make MSCs promising candidates for stem cell therapies. MSCs could promote inflammation when the immune system is underactivated and restrain inflammation when the immune system is overactivated to avoid self-overattack. These cells express many immune suppressors to switch them from a pro-inflammatory phenotype to an anti-inflammatory phenotype, resulting in immune effector cell suppression and immune suppressor cell activation. We would discuss the mechanisms governing the immune modulation function of these cells in this review, especially the immune-suppressive effects of MSCs.
