Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) harvested from conditioned media of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) suppress acute inflammation in various disease models and promote regeneration of damaged tissues. After successful treatment of a patient with acute steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) using EVs prepared from conditioned media of human bone marrow-derived MSCs, this study focused on improving the MSC-EV production for clinical application. METHODS: Independent MSC-EV preparations all produced according to a standardized procedure revealed broad immunomodulatory differences. Only a proportion of the MSC-EV products applied effectively modulated immune responses in a multi-donor mixed lymphocyte reaction (mdMLR) assay. To explore the relevance of such differences in vivo, at first a mouse GVHD model was optimized. RESULTS: The functional testing of selected MSC-EV preparations demonstrated that MSC-EV preparations revealing immunomodulatory capabilities in the mdMLR assay also effectively suppress GVHD symptoms in this model. In contrast, MSC-EV preparations, lacking such in vitro activities, also failed to modulate GVHD symptoms in vivo. Searching for differences of the active and inactive MSC-EV preparations, no concrete proteins or miRNAs were identified that could serve as surrogate markers. CONCLUSIONS: Standardized MSC-EV production strategies may not be sufficient to warrant manufacturing of MSC-EV products with reproducible qualities. Consequently, given this functional heterogeneity, every individual MSC-EV preparation considered for the clinical application should be evaluated for its therapeutic potency before administration to patients. Here, upon comparing immunomodulating capabilities of independent MSC-EV preparations in vivo and in vitro, we found that the mdMLR assay was qualified for such analyses.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
