Acetylsalicylic acid rescues the immunomodulation of inflamed gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells via upregulating FasL in mice

Abstract Background Gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) obtained multipotent differentiation and immunomodulatory properties. However, collecting healthy gingival tissues may be challenging in the clinical situation. Thus, in our present study, we aim to evaluate whether the immunomodulat...

description Abstract Background Gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) obtained multipotent differentiation and immunomodulatory properties. However, collecting healthy gingival tissues may be challenging in the clinical situation. Thus, in our present study, we aim to evaluate whether the immunomodulatory capacity of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells from inflamed gingival tissues (iGMSCs) is impaired and find a way to rescue their deficient properties. Methods We compared the immunomodulation capacity of GMSCs and iGMSCs using an in vitro co-culture system and a mouse colitis model. T cell apoptosis, T helper 17 (Th17), and regulatory T (Treg) cell differentiation were detected by flow cytometry analysis. Results We demonstrated that iGMSCs obtained a decreased immunomodulatory capacity compared with GMSCs. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) pretreatment was able to rescue iGMSCs’ impaired immunomodulatory properties. Mechanistically, ASA was capable of upregulating the expression of Fas ligand (FasL) in iGMSCs, leading to an improvement in iGMSC-mediated T cell apoptosis and therapeutic efficacy in the treatment in colitis mice. Conclusions This study indicates that the deficient immunomodulatory function of iGMSCs could be rescued by ASA pretreatment via upregulating of FasL in mice. This strategy might serve as a practical approach to rescue deficient MSC function for further therapeutic application.
