摘要

Epidermal cell transplantation is a feasible treatment option for large wounds; however, sources of autologous epidermal cells are often limited. Allogeneic epidermal cells can be cultured conveniently; however, related immune rejection needs to be addressed. Herein, we hypothesized that the immunogenicity of epidermal cells with high indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression may be reduced by gene transfection. To test this hypothesis, we obtained stable transfectants by transfecting epidermal stem cells with a lentiviral vector encoding the IDO gene and screening them for puromycin resistance (a marker for successful transfection). The phenotype tested using cell counting kit −8 and Transwell assays confirmed that IDO-transfected epidermal cells maintained their characteristics. Co-culture of IDO-transfected epidermal cells with allogeneic CD4+ T cells in vitro showed that the upregulation of IDO expression in epidermal cells inhibited the proliferation of CD4+ T cells (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively) and promoted their apoptosis (P = 0.00028, P = 0.0006, and P = 0.00247, respectively) and transformation into functional regulatory T cells (Tregs) (P = 0.0051, P = 0.0132, and P = 0.0248, respectively) compared with Con, NC, and 1-MT groups. The increased proportion of Tregs may be related to the overexpression of IDO, which promoted the expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) (P = 0.0001, P = 0.0013, and, P = 0.0009) and interleukin (IL) 10 (IL-10) (P = 0.0062, P = 0.0058, and P = 0.0119) while inhibited the expression of IL-2 (P = 0.0012, P = 0.0126, and P = 0.0066). We further verified these effects in vivo as transplanted IDO-transfected epidermal stem cells were effective in treating wounds in mice. On days 5 and 7, wounds treated with IDO cells healed faster than those in the other groups (day 5: P = 0.012 and P = 0.0136; day 7: P = 0.0242 and P = 0.0187, respectively), whereas this effect was significantly inhibited by 1-methyltryptophan (1-MT) (day 5: P = 0.0303; day 7: P = 0.0105). Immunofluorescence staining detected IDO and CD4+ Foxp3+ Tregs in the transplanted wounds, which may promote Foxp3+ Tregs in the wound tissue (day 5: P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P < 0.0001; day 7: P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P < 0.0001), respectively) and decrease CD4+ T cells (day 5: P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P < 0.0001; day 7: P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P < 0.0001). Our results suggest that the upregulation of IDO expression in epidermal stem cells can reduce their immunogenicity by promoting Tregs, thus inducing the immune protection of epidermal stem cells.
