| Abstract |
Due to their easier isolation, multilineage potential, and immunomodulatory capacity, Wharton's Jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (WJ-MSCs) exhibit promising efficacy in the field of regenerative medicine and immunotherapy. Characterization of WJ-MSCs-natural killer (NK) cells crosstalk is required for ameliorating the medicinal value of WJ-MSCs. Here, we revealed that the outcome of WJ-MSCs-NK cells crosstalk varied according to the type of cytokines (IL-2, IL-12, IL-15 and IL-21) utilized to activate NK cells. Differently activated NK cells exerted distinct cytotoxicities against WJ-MSCs causing their probable death. Cell surface ligands (CD112, CD155, ULPB-3) and receptors (LAIR, CD226, CD314, CD335, CD336 and CD337) governing the interaction between NK cells and their targets, exhibited altered expression profiles following the co-culture with WJ-MSCs. Although partly inhibited NK cell proliferation, WJ-MSCs enhanced activated NK-cell-mediated secretion of IFN-γ and TNF-α. Moreover, WJ-MSCs reinforced NK cells' degranulation as well as secretion of perforin and granzymes. On the other hand, WJ-MSCs displayed only slight increase in ROS generation but significant decrease in A1 and C1 serpins expression following co-culture with activated NK cells. Altogether, our results highlight that WJ-MSCs-NK cells interaction may affect both cell type features and, therefore, their therapeutic properties. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 February 2018.
All research outputs
#14,090,698
of 23,018,998 outputs
Outputs from Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
#1,219
of 2,322 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#232,486
of 440,328 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
#8
of 40 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,018,998 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,322 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,328 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 40 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
