Biological and functional characterization of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells from patients affected by primary immunodeficiency.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) represent a key component of bone marrow (BM) microenvironment and display immune-regulatory properties. We performed a detailed analysis of biological/functional properties of BM-MSCs derived from 33 pediatric patients affected by primary immune-deficiencies (PID-MSCs): 7 Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), 15 Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS), 11 Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID). Results were compared with MSCs from 15 age-matched pediatric healthy-donors (HD-MSCs). Clonogenic and proliferative capacity, differentiation ability, immunophenotype, immunomodulatory properties were analyzed. WB and RT-qPCR for CYBB, WAS and ADA genes were performed. All PID-MSCs displayed clonogenic and proliferative capacity, morphology and immunophenotype comparable wi
