Summary: | Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, which is commonly associated with high morbidity and mortality, and presents a major challenge to healthcare systems throughout the world. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is required for full protection against V. cholerae but can induce inflammation and septic shock. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently used to treat infectious and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the immune-modulating effects of the LPS-MSC-conditioned medium (CM) on V. cholerae LPS immunization in a murine model.
After preconditioning MSCs with LPS, mice were immunized intraperitoneally on days 0 and 14 with the following combinations: LPS + LPS-MSC-CM; detoxified LPS (DLPS) + MSC-CM; LPS + MSC sup; LPS; LPS-MSC-CM; MSC supernatant (MSC sup); and PBS. The mouse serum and saliva samples were collected to evaluate antibody (serum IgG and saliva IgA) and cytokine responses (TNF-α, IL-10, IL-6, TGF-β, IL-4, IL-5, and B-cell activating factor (BAFF)).
The LPS + LPS-MSC-CM significantly increased total IgG and IgA compared to other combinations (P |
