IFN-? Stimulated MSCs RNA-Seq Profiling

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which have immunosuppressive and trophic abilities that are induced by inflammatory cytokines, have emerged as a promising option for cell-based therapy. The cytokine profiles vary substantially across different diseases and stages of disease progression, which has been shown to influence the curative properties of MSCs. Our knowledge about how MSCs respond systemically to cytokines is still limited. Here, we individually stimulated MSCs in vitro with IFN-?and used RNA-Seq to analyze their expression profiles.
