Stroke-induced hypoxia causes oligodendrocyte death due to inflammation, lack of oxygen and exacerbation of cell death. Bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) possess an endogenous population of T-regulatory cells (T regs ) which reduce secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines that lead to secondary cell death. Here, we hypothesize that oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) cultured with BMSCs containing their native T reg population show greater cell viability, less pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and greater myelin production after exposure to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) than OPCs cultured without T regs . OPCs were cultured and then exposed to OGD/R. BMSCs with or without T regs were added to the co-culture immediately after ischemia. The T regs were depleted by running the BMSCs through a column containing a magnetic substrate. Fibroblast growth factor beta (FGF-β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) ELISAs determined BMSC activity levels. Immunohistochemistry assessed OPC differentiation. OPCs cultured with BMSCs containing their endogenous T regs showed increased myelin production compared to the BMSCs with depleted T regs . IL-6 and FGF-β were increased in the group cultured with T regs . Collectively, these results suggest that BMSCs containing T regs are more therapeutically active, and that T regs have beneficial effects on OPCs subjected to ischemia. T regs play an important role in stem cell therapy and can potentially treat white matter injury post-stroke.
