Abstract
Human mesoangioblasts are currently in a phase I/II clinical trial for the
treatment of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, limitations
associated with the finite life span of these cells combined with the significant
numbers of mesoangioblasts required to treat all of the skeletal muscles in
these patients restricts their therapeutic potential. Induced pluripotent stem cell
(iPSC)-derived mesoangioblasts may provide the solution to this problem.
Although, the idea of using iPSC-derived cell therapies has been proposed for
quite some time, our understanding of how the immune system interacts with
these cells is inadequate. Herein, we show that iPSC-derived mesoangioblasts
(HIDEMs) from healthy donors and, importantly, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy
2D patients exert immunosuppressive effects on T cell proliferation. Interferon
gamma (IFN-γ) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) play crucial roles in
the initial activation of HIDEMs and importantly indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase
(IDO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) were identified as key mechanisms
involved in HIDEM suppression of T cell proliferation. Together with recent
studies confirming the myogenic function and regenerative potential of these
cells, we suggest that HIDEMs could provide an unlimited alternative source for
mesoangioblast-based therapies.
