title: Immunosuppressive effects of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells in cultures with different O2 content in the medium.
abstract: We studied the effects of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from the adipose tissue on proliferation and viability of immunocompetent cells at different concentration of O(2) (5 and 20%) in culture medium. It was shown that co-culturing with multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells 3-fold reduced proliferative index of phytohemagglutinin-activated lymphocytes, while their viability remained unchanged and did not depend on partial oxygen pressure in the medium. These findings suggest that low O(2)concentration in tissues will not affect immunosuppressive properties of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, which is very important for their application in regenerative medicine.
