Immunomodulatory differences between mesenchymal stem cells from different oral tissues.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been identified as having potentially therapeutic immunomodulatory properties. MSCs isolated from different oral tissues have similar morphology and immunophenotypes, however, direct comparisons of their gene expression and immunomodulatory properties have not been conducted. We isolated alveolar bone-derived MSCs (aBMSCs), dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and gingiva-derived MSCs (GMSCs) from the same patients and compared their immunophenotypes and transcriptomes. Additionally, we compared their production of soluble immunomodulatory cytokines as well as their immunoregulatory properties in coculture with THP-1 human monocytic cells. RNA sequencing revealed distinct gene expression in DPSCs while aBMSCs and GMSCs had less differentially expressed
