Research Abstract |
We have investigated the expression of HLA class Ib molecules in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (BM-MSCs) at mRNA and protein levels. HLA-E and HLA-F mRNA transcripts were detected in quiescent BM-MSCs but HLA-G mRNA and its alternatively spliced forms were hardly detectable. Treatment of BM-MSCs by IL-10 did not induce mRNA expression of HLA-G. At the protein level, although BM-MSCs were reported to express classical HLA class Ia molecules on their cell surface, we could not detect surface expression of HLA-F and HLA-G. Future research is warranted to evaluate the expression of HLA class Ib molecules in MSCs or MSC-like cells derived from tissues other than bone marrow.
