Objectives: Comparison of the ability to inhibit alloactivated lymphocytes proliferation of human Wharton Jelly (WJ) and amniotic membrane (AM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from preterm and term pregnancies.

Material And Methods: Term-WJ-MSCs (n = 5) and Preterm-WJ-MSCs (n = 1) were obtained from tissue explants by adherent method. Term-AM-MSCs (n = 5) and Preterm-AM-MSCs (n = 1) were obtained by tripsin and collagenase digestion method. Term and Preterm MSCs phenotype was confirmed in vitro by flow cytometry. To evaluate the potential of fetal and adult MSCs to diminish immunological response mixed lymphocytes reaction (MLR) has been performed.

Results: Term and Preterm cells were positively identified as MSCs by the expression of CD73 and CD90 and CD105 with simultaneous absence of CD11b, CD14, CD19, CD34, CD45 and HLA-DR. The mean inhibition of allostimulated lymphocytes after addition of fetal derived MSCs amounted 64.8% for term AM-MSCs and 42.1% for term WJ-MSCs (for both populations the effect was statistically significant, p < 0.01). The addition of preterm-MSCs to MLR resulted in reduction of stimulated lymphocytes proliferation by 64.9% for AM-MSCs and 86.1% for WJ-MSCs.

Conclusions: Presented results suggest that preterm fetal tissues contain MSCs which posses similar immunosuppressive capacity as those from term pregnancies. In the future MSCs from the umbilical cord and amnion can be potentially used to prevent immuno-dependent injuries in premature newborns.
