Publication Open Access Effect of Dental Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Th1 and Th2 Derived Naive T Cells in Atopic Dermatitis Patients(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2019-08-31) GÖKER, MEHMET KAMİL; Zibandeh, Noushin; Genc, Deniz; Ozgen, Zuleyha; Duran, Yazgul; Kasap, Nurhan; Goker, Kamil; Baris, Safa; Ergun, Tulin; Akkoc, TuncObjective: The purpose of our study is to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of Dental Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (DF-MSCs) on lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) patients, a Th2 disease and psoriasis, a Th1 / Th17 disease and compare them with healthy individuals in vitro. Methods: Patients with the AD (n = 9) and psoriasis (n = 6) who are followed up in Marmara University Pediatric Allergy and Immunology and Dermatology outpatient clinics and healthy subjects (n = 6) were included. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 20 ml of venous blood of all participants. Cells were cultured for 72 hours in the absence and presence of DF-MSCs with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 stimulation or without stimulation. At the end of this period, CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine levels from the culture supernatants were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: In the presence of DF-MSCs, proliferation ratio was suppressed in both CD4+ and CD8+ cells in AD and psoriasis patients (p<0,05). IFN-gamma levels significantly increased in AD patients in the presence of DF-MSCs (p<0,05) whereas decreased significantly in psoriasis patients in the presence of DF-MSCs (p<0,05). IL-4 levels significantly decreased in AD patients in the presence of DF-MSCs (p<0,05) but remained unchanged in psoriasis patients (p>0,05). IL-10 increased significantly in both groups in the presence of DF-MSCs (p<0,05). Conclusion: Our results support immunoregulatory effects of DF-MSCs on both AD and psoriasis which are Th2 and Th1 / Th17 dominant diseases respectively. Our evidence-based results demonstrated that DF-MSCs could have a beneficial therapeutic implication for inflammatory skin diseases.
