Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses a significant challenge in modern medicine, with conventional treatments limited by efficacy and associated side effects, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have emerged as promising candidates for IBD treatment due to their immunomodulatory properties and regenerative potential. This thesis aims to explore and compare various sources of MSC and evaluate their efficacy in treating IBD. This study comprehensively analyses MSC derived from multiple sources, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord, and other potential reservoirs. Core elements of this investigation include assessing differences in cell acquisition, immunomodulatory effects, and differentiation capabilities among these MSC sources, as well as comparing their clinical trial outcomes in IBD patients to their therapeutic efficacy in animal models. Through meticulous evaluation and comparative analysis, this thesis aims to elucidate disparities in the efficacy of different MSC sources for IBD treatment, thereby identifying the most promising therapeutic applications. The findings of this study are intended to advance our understanding of MSC biology and offer valuable insights for selecting the most effective MSC sources for personalized IBD therapy. Ultimately, this research endeavor will optimise therapeutic strategies for managing inflammatory bowel disease through the utilization of MSC.

Cell surface markers for mesenchymal stem cells related to the skeletal system: A scoping review. Heliyon 2023; 9:e13464. [PMID: 36865479 PMCID: PMC9970931 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been described as bone marrow stromal cells, which can form cartilage, bone or hematopoietic supportive stroma. In 2006, the International Society for Cell Therapy (ISCT) established a set of minimal characteristics to define MSCs. According to their criteria, these cells must express CD73, CD90 and CD105 surface markers; however, it is now known they do not represent true stemness epitopes. The objective of the present work was to determine the surface markers for human MSCs associated with skeletal tissue reported in the literature (1994-2021). To this end, we performed a scoping review for hMSCs in axial and appendicular skeleton. Our findings determined the most widely used markers were CD105 (82.9%), CD90 (75.0%) and CD73 (52.0%) for studies performed in vitro as proposed by the ISCT, followed by CD44 (42.1%), CD166 (30.9%), CD29 (27.6%), STRO-1 (17.7%), CD146 (15.1%) and CD271 (7.9%) in bone marrow and cartilage. On the other hand, only 4% of the articles evaluated in situ cell surface markers. Even though most studies use the ISCT criteria, most publications in adult tissues don't evaluate the characteristics that establish a stem cell (self-renewal and differentiation), which will be necessary to distinguish between a stem cell and progenitor populations. Collectively, MSCs require further understanding of their characteristics if they are intended for clinical use.

Abstract
Organ transplantation is essential and crucial for saving and enhancing the lives of individuals suffering from end-stage organ failure. Major challenges in the medical field include the shortage of organ donors, high rates of organ rejection, and long wait times. To address the current limitations and shortcomings, cellular therapy approaches have been developed using mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC). MSC have been isolated from various sources, have the ability to differentiate to important cell lineages, have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, allow immunosuppressive drug minimization, and induce immune tolerance towards the transplanted organ. Additionally, rapid advances in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have emerged that focus on either generating new organs and organ sources or maximizing the availability of existing organs. This review gives an overview of the various properties of MSC that have enabled its use as a cellular therapy for organ preservation and transplant. We also highlight emerging fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine along with their multiple sub-disciplines, underlining recent advances, widespread clinical applications, and potential impact on the future of tissue and organ transplantation.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells and their Derived Exosomes Promote Malignant Phenotype of Polyploid Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells through AMPK Signaling Pathway. Anal Cell Pathol 2022; 2022:8708202.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is an important method for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but it can lead to side effects and polyploid cancer cells. The polyploid cancer cells can live and generate daughter cancer cells via budding. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells with repair and regeneration functions and can resist tissue damage caused by tumor therapy. This study is aimed at investigating the effects of MSCs and their derived exosomes on the biological characteristics of polyploid NSCLC cells and the potential mechanisms. We found that MSC conditioned medium (CM), MSCs, and MSC-exosomes had no effect on cell proliferation of the polyploid A549 and H1299 cells. Compared with the control group, MSCs and MSC-exosomes significantly promoted epithelial mesenchymal transformation, cell migration, antiapoptosis, and autophagy in the polyploid A549 and H1299 by activating AMPK signaling pathway, but no significant changes were observed in MSC-CM treatment. These results revealed that MSCs and MSC-exosomes promoted malignant phenotype of polyploid NSCLC cells through the AMPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most diagnosed bone tumor in children. The use of tissue engineering strategies after malignant tumor resection remains a subject of scientific controversy. As a result, there is limited research that focuses on bone regeneration postresection, which is further compromised following chemotherapy. This study aims to develop the first co-culture spheroid model for osteosarcoma, to understand the divergent relationship between tumor elimination and bone regeneration. By manipulating the ratio of stromal to osteosarcoma cells the modelled cancer state (early/late) is modified, as is evident by the increased tumor growth rates and an upregulation of a panel of well-established osteosarcoma prognostic genes. Validation of the authors' model is conducted by analyzing its ability to mimic the cytotoxic effects of the FDA-approved chemotherapeutic Doxorubicin. Next, the model is used to investigate what effect osteogenic supplements have, if any, on tumor growth. When their model is treated with osteogenic supplements, there is a stimulatory effect on the surrounding stromal cells. However, when treated with chemotherapeutics this stimulatory effect is significantly diminished. Together, the results of this study present a novel multicellular model of osteosarcoma and provide a unique platform for screening potential therapeutic options for osteosarcoma before conducting in vivo experiments.

Abstract
Aberrant mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in multiple myeloma (MM) bone marrows (BM) promote disease progression and drug resistance. Here, we assayed the protein cargo transported from MM-MSCs to MM cells via microvesicles (MVs) with focus on ribosomal proteins (RPs) and assessment of their influence on translation initiation and design of MM phenotype. Proteomics analysis (mass spectrometry) demonstrated increased levels and repertoire of RPs in MM-MSCs MVs compared to normal donors (ND) counterparts (n = 3-8; P = 9.96E - 08). We limited the RPs load in MM-MSCs MVs (starvation, RSK and XPO1 inhibitions), reapplied the modified MVs to MM cell lines (U266, MM1S), and demonstrated that the RPs are essential to the proliferative effect of MM-MSCs MVs on MM cells (n = 3; P < 0.05). We also observed that inhibition with KPT-185 (XPO1 inhibitor) displayed the most extensive effect on RPs delivery into the MVs (↓80%; P = 3.12E - 05). Using flow cytometry we assessed the expression of select RPs (n = 10) in BM-MSCs cell populations (ND and MM; n ≥ 6 each). This demonstrated a heterogeneous expression of RPs in MM-MSCs with distinct subgroups, a phenomenon absent from ND-MSCs samples. These findings bring to light a new mechanism in which the tumor microenvironment participates in cancer promotion. MVs-mediated horizontal transfer of RPs between niche MSCs and myeloma cells is a systemic way to bestow pro-cancer advantages. This capacity also differentiates normal MSCs from the MM-modified MSCs and may mark their reprogramming. Future studies will be aimed at assessing the clinical and therapeutic potential of the increased RPs levels in MM-MSCs MVs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a central role in the intercellular signaling within the tumor microenvironment (TME), exchanging signals with cancer cells and tumor stromal cells, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts and inflammatory mononuclear cells. Research attributes both pro-tumor and anti-tumor actions to MSCs; however, evidence indicates that MSCs specific effect on the tumor depends on the source of the MSCs and the type of tumor. There are consistent data proving that MSCs from reproductive tissues, such as the uterus, umbilical cord or placenta, have potent anti-tumor effects and tropism towards tumor tissues. More interestingly, products derived from MSCs, such as secretome or extracellular vesicles, seem to reproduce the effects of their parental cells, showing a potential advantage for clinical treatments by avoiding the drawbacks associated with cell therapy. Given these perspectives, it appears necessary new research to optimize the production, safety and antitumor potency of the products derived from the MSCs suitable for oncological therapies.

Abstract
The application of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from different sources, including bone marrow (BM, bmMSCs), adipose tissue (atMSCs), and human term placenta (hPSCs) has been proposed for various clinical purposes. Accumulated evidence suggests that the activity of the different MSCs is indirect and associated with paracrine release of pro-regenerative and anti-inflammatory factors. A major limitation of bmMSCs-based treatment for autologous application is the limited yield of cells harvested from BM and the invasiveness of the procedure. Similar effects of autologous and allogeneic MSCs isolated from various other tissues were reported. The easily available fresh human placenta seems to represent a preferred source for harvesting abundant numbers of human hPSCs for allogenic use. Cells derived from the neonate tissues of the placenta (f-hPSC) can undergo extended expansion with a low risk of senescence. The low expression of HLA class I and II on f-hPSCs reduces the risk of rejection in allogeneic or xenogeneic applications in normal immunocompetent hosts. The main advantage of hPSCs-based therapies seems to lie in the secretion of a wide range of pro-regenerative and anti-inflammatory factors. This renders hPSCs as a very competent cell for therapy in humans or animal models. This review summarizes the therapeutic potential of allogeneic applications of f-hPSCs, with reference to their indirect pro-regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects and discusses clinical feasibility studies.

Abstract
Metastasis to the bone is a common feature of many cancers including those of the breast, prostate, lung, thyroid and kidney. Once tumors metastasize to the bone, they are essentially incurable. Bone metastasis is a complex process involving not only intravasation of tumor cells from the primary tumor into circulation, but extravasation from circulation into the bone where they meet an environment that is generally suppressive of their growth. The bone microenvironment can inhibit the growth of disseminated tumor cells (DTC) by inducing dormancy of the DTC directly and later on following formation of a micrometastatic tumour mass by inhibiting metastatic processes including angiogenesis, bone remodeling and immunosuppressive cell functions. In this review we will highlight some of the mechanisms mediating DTC dormancy and the complex relationships which occur between tumor cells and bone resident cells in the bone metastatic microenvironment. These inter-cellular interactions may be important targets to consider for development of novel effective therapies for the prevention or treatment of bone metastases.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has suggested that extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in lung cancer treatment. Thus, we aimed to investigate the modulatory role of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-EV-derived let-7i and their molecular mechanism in lung cancer progression. Microarray-based analysis was applied to predict lung cancer-related miRNAs and their downstream genes. RT-qPCR and Western blot analyses were conducted to determine Let-7i, lysine demethylase 3A (KDM3A), doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) and FXYD domain-containing ion transport regulator 3 (FXYD3) expressions, after which dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP assay were used to identify the relationship among them. After loss- and gain-of-function assays, the effects of let-7i, KDM3A, DCLK1 and FXYD3 on the biological characteristics of lung cancer cells were assessed. Finally, tumour growth in nude mice was assessed by xenograft tumours in nude mice. Bioinformatics analysis screened out the let-7i and its downstream gene, that is KDM3A. The findings showed the presence of a high expression of KDM3A and DCLK1 and reduced expression of let-7i and FXYD3 in lung cancer. KDM3A elevated DCLK1 by removing the methylation of H3K9me2. Moreover, DCLK1 suppressed the FXYD3 expression. BMSC-EV-derived let-7i resulted in the down-regulation of KDM3A expression and reversed its promoting role in lung cancer development. Consistently, in vivo experiments in nude mice also confirmed that tumour growth was suppressed by the BMSC-EV-derived let-7i. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that the BMSC-EV-derived let-7i possesses an inhibitory role in lung cancer progression through the KDM3A/DCLK1/FXYD3 axis, suggesting a new molecular target for lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photoaging is mainly induced by continuous exposure to sun light, causing multiple unwanted skin characters and accelerating skin aging. Adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs) are promising in supporting skin repair because of their significant antioxidant capacity and strong proliferation, differentiation, and migration ability, as well as their enriched secretome containing various growth factors and cytokines. The identification of the mechanisms by which ADSCs perform these functions for photoaging has great potential to explore therapeutic applications and combat skin aging. We also review the basic mechanisms of UV-induced skin aging and recent improvement in pre-clinical applications of ADSCs associated with photoaging. Results showed that ADSCs are potential to address photoaging problem and might treat skin cancer. Compared with ADSCs alone, the secretome-based approaches and different preconditionings of ADSCs are more promising to overcome the current limitations and enhance the anti-photoaging capacity.

However, the functional heterogeneity of MSC constitutes an important barrier for transferring these capabilities to the clinic. MSC heterogeneity depends on their origin (biological niche) or the conditions of potential donors (age, diseases or unknown factors). It is accepted that many culture conditions of the artificial niche to which they are subjected, such as O2 tension, substrate and extracellular matrix cues, inflammatory stimuli or genetic manipulations can influence their resulting phenotype. Therefore, to attain a more personalized and precise medicine, a correct selection of MSC is mandatory, based on their functional potential, as well as the need to integrate all the existing information to achieve an optimal improvement of MSC features in the artificial niche.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of tumor-derived exosomal RNA eIF4E (exo-eIF4E) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlation with prognosis. Material/Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data was exacted to investigate the role of tissue eIF4E in NSCLC. We enrolled 99 NSCLC patients and 40 healthy volunteers with corresponding serum samples in this study. The levels of exo-eIF4E in the peripheral blood of each group were tested by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The chi-squared test and the log-rank test were applied to analyze the correlation between the expression levels of exo-eIF4E and the patients’ clinical-pathological data, including the overall survival. Results TCGA data showed that increased eIF4E in NSCLC tissues was associated with late-stage disease (P=0.0497) and inferior overall survival (P=0.017). The expression of exo-eIF4E in the serum of the NSCLC group was significantly higher than that in healthy individuals (P<0.001). Furthermore, advanced TNM stage (P=0.003), distant metastasis (P=0.008), and serum positive cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFRA21-1) (P=0.023) are more likely present in NSCLC patients with higher exo-eIF4E expression. Moreover, the multivariate combined with univariate analyses verified exo-eIF4E as an independent prognostic factor for shorter overall survival (P=0.01) and progression-free survival (P=0.005). Shorter overall survival (P=0.0005) and inferior progression-free survival (P=0.0017) are more likely present in NSCLC patients with higher exo-eIF4E. Conclusions Tumor-derived exo-eIF4E in serum can be a practical tool to predict the prognosis of NSCLC.

Exosomal microRNA-144 from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells inhibits the progression of non-small cell lung cancer by targeting CCNE1 and CCNE2. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:87. [PMID: 32102682 PMCID: PMC7045474 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-1580-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2019] [Revised: 12/06/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent mesenchymal cells present in various adult tissues. MSCs secrete exosomes as regulators of the tumor niche, with involvement in tumorigenesis and metastasis. The regulatory role of microRNAs (miRs or miRNAs) in MSCs via targeting cyclin E1 (CCNE1) or cyclin E2 (CCNE2) has been extensively reported. Since exosomes are considered as protective and enriched sources of shuttle miRNAs, we hypothesized that exosomal transfer of miR-144 from bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMMSCs) would affect the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells by targeting CCNE1 and CCNE2. Methods We first quantified the levels of miR-144, CCNE1, and CCNE2 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines and then undertook gain- and loss-of-function studies of miR-144, CCNE1, and CCNE2 to investigate their roles in the biological characteristics of NSCLC in vitro. NSCLC cells (A549) were exposed to exosomes derived from MSCs, and cell proliferation and colony formation rate were determined using in vitro assays. Finally, effects of BMMSC-derived exosomal miR-144 on tumor development were studied in vivo. Results In NSCLC tissues and cell lines, miR-144 was expressed poorly and CCNE1 and CCNE2 were expressed highly. Artificially elevating miR-144 inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, and the number of S phase-arrested cells in NSCLC by downregulating CCNE1 and CCNE2. Additionally, BMMSC-derived exosomal miR-144 led to restrained NSCLC cell proliferation and colony formation. These inhibitory effects of BMMSC-derived exosomes carrying miR-144 on NSCLC were confirmed by experiments in vivo. Conclusion Collectively, these findings revealed inhibitory effects of BMMSC-derived exosomal miR-144 on NSCLC progression, which were mediated by downregulation of CCNE1 and CCNE2.

Abstract
Purpose: Several attempts have been made to identify the mechanisms by which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived secretome exert anti-tumor or tumorigenic effects, but still further investigations are needed to explore this subject. Thus, in this study we want to examine the expression of different cytokines in secretome of hWJ-MSCs and their effects on cytokine expression profile of the MCF-7 tumor cells. Methods: The hWJ-MSCs were isolated and characterized according to the International Society for Cellular Therapy criteria. Then, secretome of hWJ-MSCs was collected and freeze-dried, and 20 mg/mL of the freeze-dried secretome was used to treat MCF-7 cancer cells for 48 hours. Afterwards, the expression levels of 12 cytokines including IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17A, TNFα, IFNγ and GM-CSF in secretome of hWJ-MSCs alone as well as in supernatant of tumor cells before and after treatment with hWJ-MSCs secretome were evaluated. Results: Our results indicate that MCF-7 cells express significant amount of IL-6 and IL-8. Moreover, significant amounts of IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-8, IL-6 and GM-CSF were detected in secretome of hWJ-MSCs. Furthermore, IL-1a, IL-2 and IL-4 were expressed significantly by MCF-7 cells after their treatment with hWJ-MSCs-derived secretome. Conclusion: According to our findings, the hWJ-MSCs derived secretome contains different cytokines which can exert either anti-tumor or tumorigenic effects.

Niche origin of mesenchymal stem cells derived microvesicles determines opposing effects on NSCLC: Primary versus metastatic. Cell Signal 2019; 65:109456.

Abstract
Novel therapeutic approaches that address the malignant cells in their stroma microenvironment are urgently needed in lung cancer. The stroma resident mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) interact with cancer cells in diverse ways including microvesicles (MVs) that transfer proteins and RNA species thereby modulating recipient cells' phenotype. Previously, we have demonstrated that MSCs' secretome from the primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) niche (lung) and metastatic niche (bone marrow (BM)) demonstrate opposite effects on NSCLC cells in a translation initiation (TI) dependent manner. Here, we examined the effect of MVs secreted from BM-MSCs' or lung-MSCs (healthy, NSCLC) to NSCLC phenotype. Briefly, NSCLC cell lines treated with Lung or BM-MSCs' MVs were assayed for viability (WST-1), cell count/death (trypan), migration (scratch), TI status and MAPKs activation (immunoblotting). Corresponding to previous published trends, Lung-MSCs' MVs promoted NSCLC cells' assayed traits whereas, BM-MSCs' MVs suppressed them. Activation of MAPKs and autophagy was registered in lung-MSCs MVs treated NSCLC cell lines only. Furthermore, lung-MSCs' MVs' treated NSCLC cells demonstrated an early (5min) activation of MAPKs and TI factors (peIF4E/peIF4GI) not evident in BM-MSCs MVs treated cells. These observations depict a role for MSCs'-MVs in NSCLC phenotype design and display distinct differences between the primary and metastatic niches that correspond to disease progression. In conclusion, the systemic nature of MVs marks them as attractive therapeutic markers/targets and we propose that identification of specific cargoes/signals that differentiate between MSCs MVs of primary and metastatic niches may introduce fresh therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising candidates for bone regeneration therapies due to their plasticity and easiness of sourcing. MSC-based treatments are generally considered a safe procedure, however, the long-term results obtained up to now are far from satisfactory. The main causes of these therapeutic limitations are inefficient homing, engraftment, and osteogenic differentiation. Many studies have proposed modifications to improve MSC engraftment and osteogenic differentiation of the transplanted cells. Several strategies are aimed to improve cell resistance to the hostile microenvironment found in the recipient tissue and increase cell survival after transplantation. These strategies could range from a simple modification of the culture conditions, known as cell-preconditioning, to the genetic modification of the cells to avoid cellular senescence. Many efforts have also been done in order to enhance the osteogenic potential of the transplanted cells and induce bone formation, mainly by the use of bioactive or biomimetic scaffolds, although alternative approaches will also be discussed. This review aims to summarize several of the most recent approaches, providing an up-to-date view of the main developments in MSC-based regenerative techniques.

Abstract
Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) cells accumulate in the bone marrow (BM) where their interactions impede disease therapy. We have shown that microvesicles (MVs) derived from BM mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of MM patients promote the malignant traits via modulation of translation initiation (TI), whereas MVs from normal donors (ND) do not. Here, we observed that this phenomenon is contingent on a MVs’ protein constituent, and determined correlations between the MVs from the tumor microenvironment, for example, MM BM-MSCs and patients’ clinical characteristics. BM-MSCs’ MVs (ND/MM) proteomes were assayed (mass spectrometry) and compared. Elevated integrin CD49d (X80) and CD29 (X2) was determined in MM-MSCs’ MVs and correlated with patients’ staging and treatment response (free light chain, BM plasma cells count, stage, response to treatment). BM-MSCs’ MVs uptake into MM cell lines was assayed (flow cytometry) with/without integrin inhibitors (RGD, natalizumab, and anti-CD29 monoclonal antibody) and recipient cells were analyzed for cell count, migration, MAPKs, TI, and drug response (doxorubicin, Velcade). Their inhibition, particularly together, attenuated the uptake of MM-MSCs MVs (but not ND-MSCs MVs) into MM cells and reduced MM cells’ signaling, phenotype, and increased drug response. This study exposed a critical novel role for CD49d/CD29 on MM-MSCs MVs and presented a discriminate method to inhibit cancer promoting action of MM-MSCs MVs while retaining the anticancer function of ND-MSCs-MVs. Moreover, these findings demonstrate yet again the intricacy of the microenvironment involvement in the malignant process and highlight new therapeutic avenues to be explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is one of the most challenging diseases to treat. In the past decades standard therapy including surgery, chemo- and radiation therapy, alone or in combination has not changed the high mortality rate and poor prognosis. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as putative therapeutic tools due to their intrinsic tumor tropism, anti-tumor and immunoregulatory properties. MSCs release biomolecules that are thought to exert the same beneficial effects as their cellular counterparts and, as such, they may offer practical possibilities of using MSC-secreted products. Owing to their innate affinity to home to tumor sites, MSCs have also gained interest as selective vehicles for the delivery of anti-cancer agents. However, MSCs are also known to confer pro-oncogenic effects, rendering them into double-sword weapons against neoplastic diseases. CONCLUSIONS Here, we present published data on the cell- and secretome-based therapeutic competences of MSCs, as well as on their potential as engineered delivery vectors for the treatment of lung cancer. Despite the controversial role of MSCs in the context of lung cancer therapy, current findings support hopeful perspectives to harness the potential of MSC-based regimens that may augment current treatment modalities in lung cancer.

Abstract
Although the mechanisms underlying the genesis and progression of breast cancer are better understood than ever, it is still the most frequent malignant tumor in women and one of the leading causes of cancer death. Therefore, we need to establish new approaches that lead us to better understand the prognosis of this heterogeneous systemic disease and to propose new therapeutic strategies. Cancer is not only a malignant transformation of the epithelial cells merely based on their autonomous or acquired proliferative capacity. Today, data support the concept of cancer as an ecosystem based on a cellular sociology, with diverse components and complex interactions between them. Among the different cell types that make up the stroma, which have a relevant role in the dynamics of tumor/stromal cell interactions, the main ones are cancer associated fibroblasts, endothelial cells, immune cells and mesenchymal stromal cells. Several factors expressed by the stroma of breast carcinomas are associated with the development of metastasis, such as matrix metalloproteases, their tissular inhibitors or some of their regulators like integrins, cytokines or toll-like receptors. Based on the expression of these factors, two types of breast cancer stroma can be proposed with significantly different influence on the prognosis of patients. In addition, there is evidence about the existence of bi-directional signals between cancer cells and tumor stroma cells with prognostic implications, suggesting new therapeutic strategies in breast cancer.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) malignant plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow (BM) where their interaction with the microenvironment promotes disease progression and drug resistance. Previously, we have shown that MM cells cocultured with BM-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) comodulated cells' phenotype in a MAPKs/translation initiation (TI)-dependent manner. Dissection of the coculture model showed that BM-MSCs secretomes and microvesicles (MVs) participate in this crosstalk. Here, we addressed the role of the BM-MSCs extracellular matrix (ECM). MM cell lines cultured on decellularized ECM of normal donors' (ND) or MM patients' BM-MSCs were assayed for phenotype (viability, cell count, death, proliferation, migration, and invasion), microRNAs (MIR125a-3p, MIR199a-3p) and targets, MAPKs, TI epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), CXCR4, and autophagy. Drug (doxorubicin, velcade) response of MM cells cultured on ND/MM-MSCs' ECM with/without adhered MVs was also evaluated. ECM evoked opposite responses according to its origin: MM cells cultured on ND-MSCs' ECM demonstrated a rapid and continued decrease in MAPK/TI activation (↓10%-25%, P < 0.05) (15-24 hours) followed by diminished viability, cell count, proliferation, migration, and invasion (16-72 hours) (↓10%-50%, P < 0.05). In contrast, MM cells cultured on MM-MSCs' ECM displayed activated MAPK/TI, proliferation, EMT, and CXCR4 (↑15%-250%, P < 0.05). Corresponding changes in microRNAs relevant to the MM cells' altered phenotype were also determined. The hierarchy and interdependence of MAPKs/TI/autophagy/phenotype cascade were demonstrated. Finally, we showed that the ECM cooperates with MVs to modulate MM cells drug response. These data demonstrate the contribution of BM-MSCs' ECM to MM niche design and underscore the clinical potential of identifying targetable signals.

Abstract
It was shown as long as half a century ago that bone marrow is a source of not only hematopoietic stem cells, but also stem cells of mesenchymal tissues. Then the term "mesenchymal stem cells" (MSCs) was coined in the early 1990s, and more than a decade later, the criteria for defining MSCs have been released by the International Society for Cellular Therapy. The easy derivation from a variety of fetal and adult tissues and undemanding cell culture conditions made MSCs an attractive research object. It was followed by the avalanche of reports from preclinical studies on potentially therapeutic properties of MSCs, such as immunomodulation, trophic support and capability for a spontaneous differentiation into connective tissue cells, and differentiation into the majority of cell types upon specific inductive conditions. Although ontogenesis, niche, and heterogeneity of MSCs are still under investigation, there is a rapid boost of attempts at clinical applications of MSCs, especially for a flood of civilization-driven conditions in so quickly aging societies, not only in the developed countries, but also in the populous developing world. The fields of regenerative medicine and oncology are particularly extensively addressed by MSC applications, in part due to the paucity of traditional therapeutic options for these highly demanding and costly conditions. There are currently almost 1,000 clinical trials registered worldwide at ClinicalTrials.gov, and it seems that we are starting to witness the snowball effect with MSCs becoming a powerful global industry; however, the spectacular effects of MSCs in the clinic still need to be shown.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) and their conditioned media (CM) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell tumorigenesis.
METHODS The proliferation rate of HepG2 and PLC-PRF-5 HCC cancer cells was measured using the trypan blue exclusion method and confirmed using the cell-counting kit 8 (commonly known as CCK-8) assay. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry using annexin V-FITC. Protein and mRNA expression was quantified by ELISA and real time PCR, respectively. Migration and invasion rates were performed by Transwell migration and invasion assays. Wound healing was examined to confirm the data obtained from the migration assays.
RESULTS Our data demonstrated that when co-culturing HCC cell lines with ADMSCs or treating them with ADMSC CM, the HCC cell proliferation rate was significantly inhibited and the apoptosis rate increased. The decreased proliferation rate was accompanied by an upregulation of P53 and Retinoblastoma mRNA and a downregulation of c-Myc and hTERT mRNA levels. More notably, ADMSCs and their CM suppressed the expression of the two important markers of HCC carcinogenicity, alpha-fetoprotein and Des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin. In addition, the migration and invasion levels of HepG2 and PLC-PRF-5 cells significantly decreased, potentially through increased expression of the tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3.
CONCLUSION These findings shed new light on a protective and therapeutic role for ADMSCs and their CM in controlling HCC invasiveness and carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (hADSC) represent an attractive source of the cells for numerous therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine. These cells are also an efficient model to study biological pathways of stem cell action, tissue injury and disease. Like any other primary somatic cells in culture, industrial-scale expansion of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) leads to the replicative exhaustion/senescence as defined by the "Hayflick limit." The senescence is not only greatly effecting in vivo potency of the stem cell cultures but also might be the cause and the source of clinical inconsistency arising from infused cell preparations. In this light, the characterization of hADSC replicative and stressor-induced senescence phenotypes is of great interest.This chapter summarizes some of the essential protocols and assays used at our laboratories and clinic for the human fat procurement, isolation, culture, differentiation, and characterization of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue and the stromal vascular fraction. Additionally, we provide manuals for characterization of hADSC senescence in a culture based on stem cells immunophenotype, proliferation rate, migration potential, and numerous other well-accepted markers of cellular senescence. Such methodological framework will be immensely helpful to design standards and surrogate measures for hADSC-based therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The fatality of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the role of the cancer microenvironment in its resistance to therapy are long recognized. Accumulating data allocate a significant role for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the malignant environment. Previously, we have demonstrated that MSCs from NSCLC metastatic bone marrow (BM) niche deleteriously affected NSCLC cells. Here, we have decided to examine the effect of MSCs from the primary niche of the lung (healthy or adjacent to tumor) on NSCLC phenotype. We cultured NSCLC cell lines with healthy/NSCLC lung-MSCs conditioned media (secretome) and showed elevation in cells' MAPKs and translation initiation signals, proliferation, viability, death, and migration. We also established enhanced autophagy and epithelial to mesenchymal transition processes. Moreover, we observed that MSCs from tumor adjacent sites (pathological niche) exhibited a more profound effect than MSCs from healthy lung tissue. Our findings underscore the capacity of the lung-MSCs to modulate NSCLC phenotype. Interestingly, both tumor adjacent (pathological) and distant lung-MSCs (healthy) promoted the NSCLC's TI, proliferation, migration, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition, yet the pathological MSCs displayed a greater affect. In conclusion, by comparing the effects of normal lung-MSCs, NSCLC adjacent MSCs, and BM-MSCs, we have established that the primary and metastatic niches display opposite and critical effects that promote the cancerous systemic state. Specifically, the primary site MSCs promote the expansion of the malignant clone and its dispersion, whereas the metastatic site MSCs facilitates the cells re-seeding. We suggest that sabotaging the cross-talk between MSCs and NSCLC affords effective means to inhibit lung cancer progression and will require different targeting strategies in accordance with niche/disease stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in cancer biology have highlighted the relevance of exosomes and nanovesicles as carriers of genetic and biological messages between cancer cells and their immediate and/or distant environments. It has been found that these molecular cues may play significant roles in cancer progression and metastasis. Cancer cells secrete exosomes containing diverse molecules that can be transferred to recipient cells and/or vice versa to induce a plethora of biological processes, including angiogenesis, metastasis formation, therapeutic resistance, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and epigenetic/stemness (re)programming. While exosomes interact with cells within the tumour microenvironment to promote tumour growth, these vesicles can also facilitate the process of distant metastasis by mediating the formation of pre-metastatic niches. Next to their tumour promoting effects, exosomes have been found to serve as potential tools for cancer diagnosis and therapy. The ease of isolating exosomes and their content from different body fluids has led to the identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarker signatures, as well as to predictive biomarker signatures for therapeutic responses. Exosomes can also be used as cargos to deliver therapeutic anti-cancer drugs, and they can be engineered to serve as vaccines for immunotherapy. Additionally, it has been found that inhibition of exosome secretion, and thus the transfer of oncogenic molecules, holds promise for inhibiting tumour growth. Here we provide recent information on the diverse roles of exosomes in various cellular and systemic processes governing cancer progression, and discuss novel strategies to halt this progression using exosome-based targeted therapies and methods to inhibit exosome secretion and the transfer of pro-tumorigenic molecules. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights the important role of exosomes in cancer progression and its implications for (non-invasive) diagnostics and the development of novel therapeutic strategies, as well as its current and future applications in clinical trials.

Abstract
There is growing evidence to suggest that bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM‐MSCs) are key players in tumour stroma. Here, we investigated the cross‐talk between BM‐MSCs and osteosarcoma (OS) cells. We revealed a strong tropism of BM‐MSCs towards these tumour cells and identified monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)‐1, growth‐regulated oncogene (GRO)‐α and transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1 as pivotal factors for BM‐MSC chemotaxis. Once in contact with OS cells, BM‐MSCs trans‐differentiate into cancer‐associated fibroblasts, further increasing MCP‐1, GRO‐α, interleukin (IL)‐6 and IL‐8 levels in the tumour microenvironment. These cytokines promote mesenchymal to amoeboid transition (MAT), driven by activation of the small GTPase RhoA, in OS cells, as illustrated by the in vitro assay and live imaging. The outcome is a significant increase of aggressiveness in OS cells in terms of motility, invasiveness and transendothelial migration. In keeping with their enhanced transendothelial migration abilities, OS cells stimulated by BM‐MSCs also sustain migration, invasion and formation of the in vitro capillary network of endothelial cells. Thus, BM‐MSC recruitment to the OS site and the consequent cytokine‐induced MAT are crucial events in OS malignancy.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) have been tested in a significant number of clinical trials, where they exhibit regenerative and repair properties directly through their differentiation into the cells of the mesenchymal origin or by modulation of the tissue/organ microenvironment. Despite various clinical effects upon transplantation, the functional properties of these cells in natural settings and their role in tissue regeneration in vivo is not yet fully understood. The omnipresence of MSC throughout vascularized organs equates to a reservoir of potentially therapeutic regenerative depots throughout the body. However, these reservoirs could be subjected to cellular senescence. In this review, we will discuss current progress and challenges in the understanding of different biological pathways leading to senescence. We set out to highlight the seemingly paradoxical property of cellular senescence: its beneficial role in the development and tissue repair and detrimental impact of this process on tissue homeostasis in aging and disease. Taking into account the lessons from the different cell systems, this review elucidates how autocrine and paracrine properties of senescent MSC might impose an additional layer of complexity on the regulation of the immune system in development and disease. New findings that have emerged in the last few years could shed light on sometimes seemingly controversial results obtained from MSC therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) cells' interaction with the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment critically hinders disease therapy. Previously, we showed that MM co-culture with BM-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) caused co-modulation of translation initiation (TI) and cell phenotype and implicated secreted components, specifically microvesicles (MVs). Here, we studied the role of the BM-MSCs [normal donors (ND) and MM] secreted MVs in design of MM cells' phenotype, TI and signaling. BM-MSCs' MVs collected from BM-MSCs (MM/ND) cultures were applied to MM cell lines. After MVs uptake confirmation, the MM cells were assayed for viability, cell count and death, proliferation, migration, invasion, autophagy, TI status (factors, regulators, targets) and MAPKs activation. The interdependence of MAPKs, TI and autophagy was determined (inhibitors). ND-MSCs MVs' treated MM cells demonstrated a rapid (5 min) activation of MAPKs followed by a persistent decrease (1-24 h), while MM-MSCs MVs' treated cells demonstrated a rapid and continued (5 min-24 h) activation of MAPKs and TI (↑25-200%, P < 0.05). Within 24 h, BM-MSCs MVs were internalized by MM cells evoking opposite responses according to MVs origin. ND-MSCs' MVs decreased viability, proliferation, migration and TI (↓15-80%; P < 0.05), whereas MM-MSCs' MVs increased them (↑10-250%, P < 0.05). Inhibition of MAPKs in MM-MSCs MVs treated MM cells decreased TI and inhibition of autophagy elevated cell death. These data demonstrate that BM-MSCs MVs have a fundamental effect on MM cells phenotype in accordance with normal or pathological source implemented via TI modulation. Future studies will aim to elucidate the involvement of MVs-MM receptor ligand interactions and cargo transfer in our model.

Abstract
Earlier research primarily attributed the effects of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies to their capacity for local engrafting and differentiating into multiple tissue types. However, recent studies have revealed that implanted cells do not survive for long, and that the benefits of MSC therapy could be due to the vast array of bioactive factors they produce, which play an important role in the regulation of key biologic processes. Secretome derivatives, such as conditioned media or exosomes, may present considerable advantages over cells for manufacturing, storage, handling, product shelf life and their potential as a ready-to-go biologic product. Nevertheless, regulatory requirements for manufacturing and quality control will be necessary to establish the safety and efficacy profile of these products. Among MSCs, human uterine cervical stem cells (hUCESCs) may be a good candidate for obtaining secretome-derived products. hUCESCs are obtained by Pap cervical smear, which is a less invasive and painful method than those used for obtaining other MSCs (for example, from bone marrow or adipose tissue). Moreover, due to easy isolation and a high proliferative rate, it is possible to obtain large amounts of hUCESCs or secretome-derived products for research and clinical use.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer represents one of the major causes of human deaths. Identification of proteins as biomarkers for early detection of cancer and therapeutic targets for cancer treatment are important issues in precision medicine. Secretome of cancer cells represents the collection of proteins secreted or shed from cancer cells. Proteomic profiling of the cancer cell secretome has been proven to be a convenient and efficient way to discover cancer biomarker and/or therapeutic targets. Areas covered: There have been numerous reviews describing the history and application of secretome analysis in cancer biomarker/therapeutic target research. The present review focuses on the technological advancement for profiling low-molecular-mass proteins in secretome, the latest information regarding the new candidate biomarkers and molecular mechanisms discovered on the basis of cancer cell secretome analysis, as well as the previously discovered candidate biomarkers that enter into clinical trials. Expert commentary: Current technologies for protein sample preparation/separation and MS-based protein identification have allowed in-depth analysis of cancer cell secretome. Future efforts should focus on the comprehensiveness of cancer cell secretome, meta-analysis of different secretome datasets and integrated analysis via combining other omics datasets, as well as the incorporation of MS-based biomarker verification pipeline into both preclinical studies and clinical trials.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with a poor prognosis. Inflammatory cytokines play a significant role in IPF pathology. However, the fibroblast itself is also believed to be the primary effector in IPF. We hypothesized that the fibroblasts themselves secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines that could propagate IPF by affecting normal neighboring cells. Thus, we explored the effects of IPF fibroblast derived media on normal fibroblast characteristics. Methods Primary IPF/normal tissue derived fibroblast cultures were established and their supernatants were collected (IPF/N-SN, respectively). These supernatants were added to normal fibroblasts. Cell death (caspase-3, western blot), proliferation, viability (WST-1), migration (scratch test) and cell detachment (crystal violet and fibronectin adhesion assays) were tested. 10 inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA-based quantitative array. Integrin α5 (ITGA5), pIκBα, p/total STAT3 levels were measured by western blot/IHC. TNF-α involvement was confirmed using Infliximab ®, anti-TNF-α mAb. Results The IPF-SN facilitated fibroblast cell detachment and reduced cell migration (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, these effects were reversed when cells were seeded on fibronectin. The exposure to the IPF-SN also elevated ITGA5 levels, the fibronectin receptor, in addition to NFκB pathway activation (pIκBα↑ 150%, p < 0.05). In accordance, IPF derived fibroblasts were found to express higher ITGA5 than the normal cells (44%↑, p < 0.05). ITGA5 was also expressed in the fibroblastic foci. The IPF-SN contained high TNF-α levels (3-fold, p < 0.05), and Infliximab pretreatment successfully reversed all the above observations. Conclusion We suggest a possible mechanism in which IPF fibroblast secreted TNF-α modifies neighboring fibroblast cell behavior.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85–90% of lung cancer cases, which represents the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The majority of lung cancer patients doesn't respond well to conventional chemo-/radio-therapeutic regimens and have a poor prognosis. The recent introduction of targeted therapy and immunotherapy gives new hopes to NSCLC patients, but their outcome/prognosis is far from satisfactory. The translation initiation EIF4F complex has been shown to play important roles in cancer progression, but its functional role and therapeutic effect in lung cancers especially NSCLC remain largely unknown. In this current review, we summarize recent findings regarding the role of EIF4F complex in NSCLC progression and targeted therapy potentials. We also discuss the unanswered questions and future directions in this field.

[PMID: 27750042 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2016.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2016] [Revised: 10/09/2016] [Accepted: 10/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in coordination with cancer cells in the establishment, growth and dissemination of the tumor. Among cells of the microenvironment, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their ability to evolve into cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have recently generated a major interest in the field. Numerous studies have described the potential pro- or anti-tumorigenic action of MSCs. The goal of this review is to synthesize recent and emerging discoveries concerning the mechanisms by which MSCs can be attracted to tumor sites, how they can generate CAFs and by which way MSCs are able to modulate the growth, response to treatments, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis of tumors. The understanding of the role of MSCs in tumor development has potential and clinical applications in terms of cancer management.

Attar-Schneider O, Drucker L, Gottfried M. Migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of lung cancer can be targeted via translation initiation factors eIF4E and eIF4GI. J Transl Med 2016; 96:1004-15. [PMID: 27501049 DOI: 10.1038/labinvest.2016.77] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2016] [Revised: 05/18/2016] [Accepted: 06/20/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Metastasis underlies cancer morbidity and accounts for disease progression and significant death rates generally and in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) particularly. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the molecular events that regulate metastasis. Accumulating data portray a central role for protein synthesis, particularly translation initiation (TI) factors eIF4E and eIF4G in tumorigenesis and patients' survival. We have published that eIF4E/eIF4GI activities and consequently NSCLC cell migration are modulated by bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cell secretomes, suggesting a role for TI in metastasis. Here, we aimed to expand our understanding of the TI factors significance to NSCLC characteristics, particularly epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and migration, supportive of metastasis. In a model of NSCLC cell lines (H1299, H460), we inhibited eIF4E/eIF4GI's expressions (siRNA, ribavirin) and assessed NSCLC cell lines' migration (scratch), differentiation (EMT, immunoblotting), and expression of select microRNAs (qPCR). Initially, we determined an overexpression of several TI factors (eIF4E, eIF4GI, eIF4B, and DHX29) and their respective targets in NSCLC compared with normal lung samples (70-350%↑, P<0.05). Knockdown (KD) of eIF4E/eIF4GI in NSCLC cell lines (70%↓, P<0.05) also manifested in decreased target levels (ERα, SMAD5, NFkB, CyclinD1, c-MYC, and HIF1α) (20-50%↓, P<0.05). eIF4E/eIF4GI KD also attenuated cell migration (60-75%↓, P<0.05), EMT promoters (15-90%↓, P<0.05), and enhanced EMT suppressors (30-380%↑, P<0.05). The importance of eIF4E KD to NSCLC phenotype was further corroborated with its inhibitor, ribavirin. Changes in expression of essential microRNAs implicated in NSCLC cell migration concluded the study (20-100%, P<0.05). In summary, targeting eIF4E/eIF4GI reduces migration and EMT, both essential for metastasis, thereby underscoring the potential of TI targeting in NSCLC therapy, especially the already clinically employed agents (ribavirin/4EGI). Comparison of these findings with previously reported effects of eIF4E/eIF4GI KD in multiple myeloma suggests a collective role for these TI factors in cancer progression.
