Abstract: Objective: To analyze the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells derived from gingiva (GMSCs) on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and to provide experimental evidence for treatment of EAE using stem cells. Methods: GMSCs and T cells co-culture system were established to analyze the role of GMSCs on T cell proliferation, apoptosis, Th17 and Treg cells differentiation. EAE model was established in mice to explore the therapeutic effects of GMSCs on EAE and the underlying mechanisms. Results: In GMSCs and T cells co-culture system, GMSCs induced T cells apoptosis and inhibit T cells proliferation. GMSCs also inhibited Th17 cells differentiation and promoted Treg cells differentiation. In vivo, GMSCs could ameliorate EAE in mice. Mechanically, GMSCs infusion increased Treg cells differentiation and inhibited Th17 cells differentiation. Conclusion: GMSCs infusion ameliorated EAE in mice by up-regulating Treg cells differentiation and down-regulating Th17 cells differentiation.
