The therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation following spinal cord injury (SCI) to date have been limited. Therefore, we aimed to enhance the immunomodulatory properties of MSCs via continuous secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-13 (IL-13). By using MSCs as carriers of IL-13 (MSC/IL-13), we investigated their therapeutic potential, compared with non-engineered MSCs, in a mouse model of SCI. We show that transplanted MSC/IL-13 significantly improve functional recovery following SCI, and also decrease lesion size and demyelinated area by more than 40%. Further histological analyses in CX3CR1EGFP/+ CCR2RFP/+ transgenic mice indicated that MSC/IL-13 significantly decrease the number of resident microglia and increase the number of alternatively activated macrophages. In addition, the number of macrophage-axon contacts in MSC/IL-13-treated mice was decreased by 50%, suggesting a reduction in axonal dieback. Our data provide evidence that transplantation of MSC/IL-13 leads to improved functional and histopathological recovery in a mouse model of SCI. Use of MSCs as carriers of IL-13 in a mouse model of SCI IL-13-secreting MSCs improve functional and histopathological outcome after SCI Increase in number of alternatively activated macrophages in MSC/IL-13-treated mice Decrease in macrophage-axon contacts in MSC/IL-13-treated mice Hendrix and colleagues demonstrate that transplantation of MSC/IL-13 significantly improves both functional and histopathological outcome following SCI in mice. Furthermore, MSC/IL-13 significantly increases the number of alternatively activated macrophages and decreases the number of macrophage-axon contacts. MSCs can therefore be successfully used as carriers for the local delivery of IL-13 in a mouse model of SCI.
