Leishmania braziliensis is the main species in Peru that causes cutaneous and mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis. The severity of their ulcers is related to an exacerbated inflammatory reaction, so therapies based on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) could be considered. The MSC secretome has regenerative and immunomodulatory capacity, which can even be increased with the primed or pretreatment. The aim of the present project was to characterize the secretome of human MSC pretreated with soluble L. braziliensis antigen and to evaluate its immunomodulatory potential. We worked with a hMSC population derived from Wharton Jelly which was characterized according to international criteria. At passage 4, cells were pretreated with soluble L. braziliensis antigen and LPS as positive control. After priming the 72h secretome was characterized for its cytokine expression by a chemiluminescence panel of 80 targets and colorimetric assays to measure IDO, IL-6 and iNOS. Furthermore, the immunomodulatory capacity was evaluated in a functional assay with human PBMC (n=3), measuring by flow cytometry the proliferation index and the presence of CD4+ and CD8+ populations, as well as subpopulations of Treg and Th1 lymphocytes. Results showed an anti-inflammatory profile at cytokine expression level for pretreatments with ASL and LPS. Both were characterized by a lower expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-8, TNFα and GRO and increased IGFBP-4. Likewise, LPS produced a significant increase in iNOS and a decrease in IL-6, while ASL produced a significant decrease in iNOS/NO and IDO. The functional assay did not show a significant antiproliferative and immunomodulatory effect for ASL, but it did show trends towards a decrease in the proinflammatory Th1 and CD8+INFγ+ populations, as well as an increase in the Treg/Th1 ratio. In conclusion, the secretome of Wharton's jelly hMSC pretreated with ASL shows differences in cytokine expression level with a tendency towards an anti-inflammatory profile, but without producing significant effects at the functional level in PBMC cultures from 3 volunteers.
