Core Tip	In this review, we summarized the mechanisms involved in regulatory T (Treg) and B (Breg) cell induction by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In an inflammatory environment, MSCs secrete various anti-inflammatory cytokines, actively interact with immune cells and modulate them to acquire regulatory properties, thus, generate a tolerogenic environment. Particularly, by inducing Treg and Breg cells, the immunomodulation of MSCs is amplified. Therefore, genetic engineered MSCs to enhance their ability to induce Treg and Breg cells may increase their therapeutic efficacy.
