Our modified MSCs were positive for CD105, CD90, CD29 and CD73 and negative for CD34 (Figure 2.1.1 A-E), and were able to differentiate to osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondroblasts under standard in vitro differentiating conditions (Figure 2.1.2 F-K). (Meet the standard of International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT))

Results were reported as number of cells migrated. Chemotaxis capacity of our engineered MSCs all improved.

Figure D: MSCs (BBa_K1993008: EF-1α-Luciferase-IRES-eGFP)

Figure 2.4.3
4.3 After intraperitoneal injection of Luciferin, MSCs engineered with GFP and Luciferase were administrated intravenously to caudal vein. Oxidized Luciferin was observed under IVIS spectrum system. As a result, mice administered with engineered MSCs （BBa_K1993008: EF-1α-Luciferase-IRES-eGFP）

5.Therapeutic effects of our engineered MSCs for inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) improved.

Our MSCs were modified by BBa_K1993009 (EF-1α-CXCR4-T2A-Luciferase-IRES-eGFP).

Figure 2.5.1.1
 		Figure 2.5.1.2
Figure 2.5.1.3
 		Figure 2.5.1.4

5.1 We established murine 2,4,6-trinitro benzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-colitis (IBD animal model). After injecting with MSCsCXCR4, survival rate, body weight, length of colon and DAI score of IBD mice were improved significantly comparing to TNBS+MSC group and TNBS+saline group.

Figure 2.5.2
5.2 Photographs of hematoxylin/eosin-stained colon cross-sections 2 days after injecting MSCs. MSCsCXCR4 displayed better treatment efficacy than TNBS+MSC group and TNBS+saline group, characterized by their abilities to decrease leukocyte infiltration.

Figure 2.5.3.1
 		Figure 2.5.3.2
Figure 2.5.3.3
 		Figure 2.5.3.4

5.3 Colon sampling for quantitative PCR analysis. Comparing with TNBS+MSC group, levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) elevated in TNBS+MSCCXCR4 group while pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α) levels decreased in TNBS+ MSCCXCR4 group.

Figure 2.5.4.1
5.4 Under IVIS Spectrum, MSCsCXCR4 exhibited enhanced capacities for targeted migration to the bowels in inflammatory condition in vivo.


6. Therapeutic effects of our engineered MSCs for delayed type hypersensitivity(DTH)) improved.

Our MSCs were modified by BBa_K1993005 (EF-1α-CXCR5-IRES-eGFP).

Figure 2.6.1.1
Figure 2.6.1.2
6.1 MSCsCXCR5 infusion dramatically ameliorated DTH. MSCsCXCR5 displayed better treatment efficacy than DTH+MSCeGFP group, characterized by their abilities to decrease ear thickness and leukocyte infiltration. MSCsCXCR5 significantly attenuated DTH as early as 24 hours post-injection, and had even greater effects at 48 hours post-injection.

Figure 2.6.2
6.2 Ear sampling for quantitative PCR analysis. Comparing with DTH+MSCs group, levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10), elevated in DTH+MSCsCXCR5 group, while levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-17) decreased in DTH+MSCsCXCR5 group.

Figure 2.6.3
6.3 The inflamed ears were collected from each group on Day2 post-injection, and subjected to in situ immunofluorescence staining. Our results revealed that MSCseGFP were almost undetectable, whereas MSCsCXCR5 were highly accumulated in the inflamed ears of DTH mice.

7. The switch element worked.

Figure 2.7
Transduction of our switch plasmid into MSCs. After administering TGF-β1 (7ng/mL), α-SMA was expressed and green fluorescence could be detected in MSCs (BBa_K1993014: pMSA-eGFP worked), which indicated our switch was running.
