Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of modulating the immune system through interaction with a wide range of immune cells. This study investigates the hypothesis that interaction of MSCs with macrophages could play a significant role in their anti-inflammatory/immune modulatory effects. MSCs were derived from bone marrow and monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy donors. We cultured human monocytes for seven days without any added cytokines to generate macrophages, and then co-cultured them for three more days with culture-expanded MSCs. We used cell surface antigen expression and intracellular cytokine expression patterns to study the immunophenotype of macrophages at the end of this co-culture period, and phagocytic assays to investigate their functional activity in vitro. Macrophages co-cultured with MSCs consistently showed high level expression of CD206, a marker of alternatively activated macrophages. Furthermore, these macrophages expressed high levels of IL-10 and low levels of IL-12, as determined by intracellular staining, typical of alternatively activated macrophages. However, macrophages co-cultured with MSCs also expressed high levels of IL-6 and low levels of TNF-α, compared to controls. Functionally, macrophages co-cultured with MSCs showed a higher level of phagocytic activity. We describe a novel type of human macrophage generated in vitro after co-culture with MSCs that assume an immunophenotype defined as IL-10 high, IL-12 low, IL-6 high and TNF-α low secreting cells. These MSC-educated macrophages may be a unique and novel type of alternatively activated macrophages with potentially significant role in tissue repair.
