Abstract

In recent years extraembryonic-derived mesenchymal stem cells have attracted a lot of attention because of their low immunogenicity and diverse immunomodulatory mechanisms that encourage their application in allogeneic cell transplantation and induction of immunosuppression. Different studies have designed to clarify the immunomodulatory properties of perinatal-isolated mesenchymal stem cells. In this review, we introduce the extraembryonic sources of MSCs including Wharton’s jelly, umbilical cord blood, amniotic membrane, amniotic fluid, and chorion-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Then the immunophenotype and immunogenic characteristic of each type of MSCs are explained. Finally, we address the cell membrane associated and secretory immunomodulatory molecules of perinatal tissue-derived MSCs that are responsible for their immunosuppressive properties in interaction with immune cells.
