Research Abstract

Alterations of IL-17-related protein expressions were investigated. The results showed thatIL-17 was expressed more highly than IFN-gamma expressed by Th1 cells in alpha/beta T cells and the peaks of IL-17 related protein expression in the heart were the early phase of EAM. Then we focused on helper T cell differentiation in allogenic FM-MSC administered EAM rats. Administration of FM-MSC improved left ventricular ejection fraction. The percentage of Th1 cells and Th17 cells were significantly reduced by FM-MSC administration. Thus, intravenous administration of allogenic FM-MSCs ameliorates EAM via the suppression of Th1/Th17 immunity.
