Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress excessive immune responses and play a crucial protective role in acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to examine the therapeutic potential of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1-overexpressing mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in inducing local generation of Tregs in the kidney after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods: MSCs were transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing the TGF-beta 1 gene; TGF-beta 1-overexpressing MSCs (designated TGF-beta 1/MSCs) were then transfused into the I/R-injured kidney via the renal artery. Results: MSCs genetically modified with TGF-b1 achieved overexpression of TGF-beta 1. Compared with green fluorescent protein (GFP)/MSCs, TGF-beta 1/MSCs markedly improved renal function after I/R injury and reduced epithelial apoptosis and subsequent inflammation. The enhanced immunosuppressive and therapeutic abilities of TGF-beta 1/MSCs were associated with increased generation of induced Tregs and improved intrarenal migration of the injected cells. Futhermore, the mechanism of TGF-beta 1/MSCs in attenuating renal I/R injury was not through a direct canonical TGF-beta 1/Smad pathway. Conclusion: TGF-beta 1/MSCs can induce a local immunosuppressive effect in the I/R-injured kidney. The immunomodulatory activity of TGF-beta 1-modified MSCs appears to be a gateway to new therapeutic approaches to prevent renal I/R injury.
