Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment Induces Specific Alloantibodies in Horses.

Abstract: Background. It is unknown whether horses that receive allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) injections develop specific humoral immune response. Our goal was to develop and validate a flow cytometric MSC crossmatch procedure and to determine if horses that received allogeneic MSCs in a clinical setting developed measurable antibodies following MSC administration. Methods. Serum was collected from a total of 19 horses enrolled in 3 different research projects. Horses in the 3 studies all received unmatched allogeneic MSCs. Bone marrow (BM) or adipose tissue derived MSCs (ad-MSCs) were administered via intravenous, intra-arterial, intratendon, or intraocular routes. Anti-MSCs and anti-bovine serum albumin antibodies were detected via flow cytometry and ELISA, respectively. Results. Overall, anti-MSC antibodies were detected in 37% of the horses. The majority of horses (89%) were positive for anti-bovine serum albumin (BSA) antibodies prior to and after MSC injection. Finally, there was no correlation between the amount of anti-BSA antibody and the development of anti-MSC antibodies. Conclusion. Anti allo-MSC antibody development was common; however, the significance of these antibodies is unknown. There was no correlation between either the presence or absence of antibodies and the percent antibody binding to MSCs and any adverse reaction to a MSC injection.

This study aimed to determine whether horses develop a specific immune response after receiving injections of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from a different individual. The researchers developed a process to measure this, and found that 37% of the horses did develop antibodies against the injected MSCs, although the impact of these antibodies remains uncertain.

Research methodology

  • The study involved 19 horses that were part of three separate research projects. All these horses received allogeneic MSCs – these are stem cells derived from a different individual of the same species.
  • The MSCs were either extracted from bone marrow or adipose tissue, and were administered in various ways – intravenously, intra-arterial, intratendon, or intraocular routes.
  • The researchers developed and validated a flow cytometric MSC crossmatch procedure. This is a method used to detect and measure antibodies in the horses’ serum that react with the MSCs.
  • The presence of antibodies against MSCs and against bovine serum albumin (BSA) – a protein often used in allergy research – were detected using flow cytometry and ELISA test, respectively.

Research findings

  • They discovered that anti-MSC antibodies were found in 37% of the horses, indicating that these animals did develop an immune response against the introduced MSCs.
  • They also found that majority of the horses (89%) tested positive for antibodies against BSA before and after the MSC injection. This result didn’t show any significant correlation with the development of anti-MSC antibodies.
  • Despite these findings, the researchers found no correlation between the presence or absence of antibodies and the percentage of antibodies binding to MSCs and any negative reactions to the MSC injection.

Conclusion

  • The researchers concluded that while the development of antibodies against the allogeneic MSCs was common among horses, the clinical significance of these antibodies is still unknown. Further studies are needed to assess the impact of these antibodies in the effectiveness of MSC treatment in horses.
