Forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) controls the migratory response of Toll-like receptor (TLR3)-stimulated human mesenchymal stromal cells.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can potently regulate the functions of immune cells and are being investigated for the management of inflammatory diseases. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3)-stimulated human MSCs (hMSCs) exhibit increased migration and chemotaxis within and toward damaged tissues. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying these migratory activities are unclear. Therefore, we analyzed the migration capability and gene expression profiles of TLR3-stimulated hMSCs using RNA-Seq, wound healing, and transwell cell migration assay. Along with increased cell migration, the TLR3 stimulation also increased the expression of cytokines, chemokines, and cell migration-related genes. The promoter regions of the latter showed an enrichment of putative motifs for binding the transcription
