MMP2/9 are major players in human AdMSC immunoregulatory mechanisms and suppressive potency. The significant decrease in AdMSC suppressive capacity in inhibition experiments confirm that MMP2/9 are major players in the suppressive potency of human AdMSC. CSFE labeled PBMC, stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody (1 μg/ml), were cultured alone or with AdMSC, for 5days, with or without the MMP2 and MMP9 inhibitor - SB-3CT (0.4 ug/ml and 4 ug/ml). The cells were acquired in FACS CantoII flow cytometer using the program DIVA for acquisition and Flow Jo for analysis. A total of 300,000 events were analyzed within the lymphocyte gate selected by size (FSC) and granularity (SSC). Paired t test: p = 0.0048 (0.4 ug/ml), p = 0.0162 (4 ug/ml).
