Over the past 15 years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been assessed for their capacity to suppress inflammation and promote tissue repair. Regardless of whether the cells are primed (exposed to instructive cues) before administration, their phenotype will respond to environmental signals present in the pathophysiological setting being treated. Since hypoxia and inflammation coexist in the settings of acute injury and chronic disease we sought to explore how the proteome and metabolome of MSCs changes when cells were exposed to 48 h of 1% oxygen, interferon gamma (IFN-γ), or both cues together. We specifically focused on changes in cell metabolism, immune modulation, extracellular matrix secretion and modification, and survival capacity. IFN-γ promoted expression of anti-pathogenic proteins and induced MSCs to limit inflammation and fibrosis while promoting their own survival. Hypoxia instead led to cell adaptation to low oxygen, including upregulation of proteins involved in anaerobic metabolism, autophagy, angiogenesis, and cell migration. While dual priming resulted in additive effects, we also found many instances of synergy. These data lend insight to how MSCs may behave after administration to a patient and suggest how priming cells beforehand could improve their therapeutic capacity.
