Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs)on the microglia proliferation and activation in normal or inflammatory conditions, in order to explore their immunomodulation effect on the central nervous system. Methods After BV2 cells were co-cultured with hUC-MSCs-CM and/or lipopolysaccharide(LPS)for 24 or 48 h, the proliferation was analyzed by MTT colorimetric method, TNF-α and IL-6 in the supernatant were measured by ELISA kit, Arginase 1(Arg1)protein and mRNA levels were examined by Western blotting, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA expression level were tested by real-time PCR. Results (1) After long-time LPS stimulation, BV2 cells obviously proliferated, while hUC-MSCs-CM inhibited the proliferation. (2) BV2 cultured with LPS expressed high levels of TNF-α and IL-6, while in both hUC-MSCs-CM and LPS conditions, the TNF-α and IL-6 levels were lower than in LPS stimulation. (3) The level of Arg1 was increased in BV2 cells co-cultured with hUC-MSCs-CM for 48 h. Conclusions Human UC-MSCs inhibit microglia proliferation caused by inflammatory stimulation. Human UC-MSCs induce microglial cells to M2 polarization and reduce the expression of proinflammatory factors via paracrine mechanism, and this may be the mechanism for its neuroprotective effect.
