Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) and their secretome are known to exert beneficial effects in many pathological states. However, MSCs therapeutic properties can be reduced due to unsuitable in vitro maintenance conditions. Standard culture protocols neglect the fact that MSCs exist in vivo in the closest connection with the extracellular matrix (ECM), the complex protein network providing an instructive microenvironment.

This unique ability makes MSCs promising therapeutic tools for many diseases, including even those that were previously untreatable. Thus, the development of preconditioning approaches aimed at enhancing the paracrine function of MSCs attracts great interest.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) is known for its pleiotropic ability to regulate various cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation etc. It has recently been shown that IGFBP3 is part of the secretome of senescent human endometrial mesenchymal stromal cells (MESCs) (Griukova et al., 2019) that takes part in paracrine propagation of senescence-like phenotype in MESCs (Vassilieva et al.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) is a multifunctional protein, able either to stimulate the cell growth or to promote apoptosis. In particular, IGFBP3 plays significant role in propagation of stress-induced senescence in human endometrium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MESCs) (Vassilieva et al., 2020).

The aim of the work was to determine film's effect on the activity of blood neutrophils in healthy individuals and in patients with chronic periodontitis using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence method. The investigated dental film showed modulating influence on blood phagocytes methabolism depending on their initial functional state.
