The present study explored the effects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients on this immunomodulatory potential of ADSCs. CSF conditioning of ADSCs increased messenger RNA levels of both pro- and anti-inflammatory genes compared to controls. Exposure of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-differentiated THP1 macrophages to the secretome of CSF-conditioned ADSCs downregulated both proinflammatory (cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor alpha) and anti-inflammatory (suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, and transforming growth factor beta) genes in these cells. Interleukin-10 expression was elevated in both naïve and conditioned secretomes. ADSC secretome treatment, further, induced macrophage maturation of THP1 cells and increased the percentage of CD11b+, CD14+, CD86+, and, to a lesser extent, CD206+ cells. This, moreover, enhanced the phagocytic activity of CD14+ and CD86+ cells, though independently of pre-conditioning. Secretome exposure, finally, also induced a reduction in the percentage of CD192+ adherent cells in cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from both healthy subjects and TBI patients. This limited efficacy (of both naïve and pre-conditioned secretomes) suggests that the effects of lymphocyte-monocyte paracrine signaling on the fate of cultured PBMCs are strongest upon adherent cell populations.In vitro cardiac modeling has taken great strides i
