Background: The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory functions of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated in several autoimmune/inflammatory diseases, but their contribution to allergic conjunctivitis and underlying antiallergic mechanisms remain elusive.Objective: We sought to explore the clinical application of MSCs to experimental allergic conjunctivitis (EAC) and its underlying antiallergic mechanisms.Methods: Culture medium from TNF-alpha-stimulated, bone marrow-derived MSCs (MSC-CMT) was administered topically to mice with EAC, and the related allergic symptoms and biological changes were evaluated. Murine spleen-derived B cells, bone marrow-derived mast cells (MCs), and lung vascular endothelial cells were cultured in vitro to investigate the antiallergic MSC-CMT mechanisms.Results: Topical instillation of MSC-CMT significantly attenuated the clinical symptoms of short ragweed pollen-induced EAC, with a significant decrease in inflammatory cell frequency, nuclear factor kB p65 expression, and TNF-alpha and IL-4 production. In vitro MSC-CMT significantly inhibited the activation of MCs and B-cell IgE release and reduced histamine-induced vascular hyperpermeability. During EAC, MSC-CMT treatment also decreased IgE production, histamine release, enrichment and activation of MCs, and conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability. The MSC-CMT-mediated inhibition of B cells, MCs, and histamine and its antiallergic effects during EAC were abrogated when MSCs were pretreated with COX2 small interfering RNA.Conclusions: Our findings provide compelling evidence that MSC-CMT inhibits EAC through COX2-dependent multiple antiallergic mechanisms and support the use of MSC-CMT as a novel strategy for treating allergic conjunctivitis.
