Methods. Ten pSS patients and 10 healthy donors were selected. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from venous blood to establish co-cultures with CpS-hUCMS. Lymphocyte proliferation and phenotypic analysis was performed by flow cytometry and real-time PCR on IFN-gamma-pretreated hUCMS was performed before PBMCs co-culture.Results. We found that CpS-hUCMS suppress pSS T cell proliferation and restore the Treg/Th17 ratio, thereby possibly positively impacting the pSS disease process.Conclusion. We have developed a new biohybrid drug delivery system that now waits for clinical application in autoimmune diseases, including pSS.
