Anti-inflammatory Effects of Oct4/Sox2-overexpressing Human Adipose Tissue-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Background/Aim: The transcription factors Oct4
and Sox2 enhance the proliferation and pluripotency of
human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hATMSCs);
however, the anti-inflammatory effects of Oct4- and
Sox2-overexpressing hAT-MSCs (Oct4/Sox2-hAT-MSCs) are
unclear. Here, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of
Oct4/Sox2-hAT-MSCs in vitro and in vivo.

Accordingly, in this study, the anti-inflammatory effects
of lentivirus-transduced Oct4/Sox2-hAT-MSCs were
investigated by determining the expression of
inflammation-related cytokines in macrophage cell lines
treated with conditioned medium in vitro. In addition,
sickness scores (diarrhea, eye condition, activity and fur
condition) and survival rates were used to evaluate the antiinflammatory
effects of the engineered hAT-MSCs in a
mouse model.
