Neural stem cells (NSCs) transplantation has been proposed as a means of restoring damaged brain tissue, a possibility rendered more likely by reports of low NSCs immunogenicity in various experimental models because of low expression of MHC class I and II as well as co-stimulatory molecules. We investigated the immunogenicity of a human NSC line grown in normal culture conditions and in the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha by one-way mixed… 

Figures and Tables from this paper

Human Parthenogenetic Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Neural Stem Cells Express HLA-G and Show Unique Resistance to NK Cell-Mediated Killing
TLDR
PG NSCs have unique immunological properties due to elevated HLA-G expression, as indicated by expression analyses of immune regulatory factors and functional analyses using an in vitro mixed lymphocyte reaction assay.
Japanese Encephalitis Virus Induce Immuno-Competency in Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells
TLDR
The in vivo and in vitro findings clearly indicate the development of immunogenicity in NSPCs following progressive J EV infection, in this case, JEV infection.
Effect of Inflammatory Cytokines on Major Histocompatibility Complex Expression and Differentiation of Human Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells
TLDR
The successful translation of different cell lines from animal models to clinical trials could be substantially influenced by the species‐specific regulation of MHC and differentiation as reported here.
Cross-Talk between Human Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in an Allogeneic Co-Culture Model
TLDR
The data suggest that hNSCs cross-talk with immune cells, and allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) significantly promote the proliferation and differentiation of hN SCs.
Low immunogenicity of mouse induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem/progenitor cells
TLDR
The immunogenicity and post-transplantation immunological dynamics of iPSC-NSPCs resemble those of fetus-N SPCs.
Cytomegalovirus infection and interferon-γ modulate major histocompatibility complex class I expression on neural stem cells
TLDR
It is demonstrated that NSCs are susceptible to murine CMV infection and inflammatory mediators, such as IFN-γ, alter cellular characteristics which may have an impact on their reparative functions.

Absence of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I on Neural Stem Cells Does Not Permit Natural Killer Cell Killing and Prevents Recognition by Alloreactive Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes In Vitro
TLDR
The findings suggest that following transplant into syngeneic or allogeneic recipients, NSCs may exhibit diminished susceptibility to clearance by host T‐ and NK‐cell populations.
Human bone marrow stromal cells suppress T-lymphocyte proliferation induced by cellular or nonspecific mitogenic stimuli.
TLDR
The data demonstrate that autologous or allogeneic BMSCs strongly suppress T-lymphocyte proliferation, this phenomenon that is triggered by both cellular as well as nonspecific mitogenic stimuli has no immunologic restriction, and T-cell inhibition is not due to induction of apoptosis and is likely due to the production of soluble factors.
