Effect of Co-culturing both placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their condition medium in the cancer cell (HepG2) migration, damage through apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Saudi J Biol Sci 2023; 30:103519. [PMID: 36561333 PMCID: PMC9763848 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2022.103519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Human placental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) are a promising candidate to inhibit the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines such as HepG2. The effects of hPMSCs and their conditioned media on HepG2 are, however, still a mystery. As a result, the goal of this study was to look into the effects of hPMSCs and their conditioned media on HepG2 and figure out what was going on. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting and the MTT test were used to determine the percentage of cells that died (early apoptosis, late apoptosis). The DIO and DID colors were used to detect cell fusion and cell death in both cells. HepG2 cells were co-treated with hPMSCs or hPMSCs-conditioned medium (hPMSCs-CM) to reduce growth and promote apoptosis. Morphological changes were also seen in the 30 percent, 50 percent, and 60 percent cases. The secretion of cytokine was determined by the ELISA. Flow cytometry, caspase 9 immunofluorescence, qPCR (detection of Bax, Bcl-2, and β-catenin genes), western blot, and immunophenotyping revealed that treatment with hPMSCs or hPMSCs-CM caused HepG2 cell death through apoptosis (detection of caspase 9, caspase 3 protein). HepG2 cell cycle arrest could be induced by hPMSCs and hPMSCs-CM. Following treatment with hPMSCs or hPMSCs-CM, HepG2 cell development was stopped in the G0/G1 phase. These treatments also inhibited HepG2 cells from migrating, with the greatest effect when the highest ratio/concentration of hPMSCs (70%) and hPMSCs-CM were used (90%). Our findings indicated that hPMSCs and hPMSCs-CM could be promising treatment options for liver cancer. To elucidate the proper effect, more research on liver cancer-induced rat/mice is needed.

Breast Cancer (Auckl) 2023; 17:11782234221145385. [PMID: 36710995 PMCID: PMC9875320 DOI: 10.1177/11782234221145385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women globally, and mesenchymal stem cells have been widely implicated in tumour progression. This systematic review and meta-analysis seeks to identify and summarise existing literature on the effects of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on the migration of breast cancer cells (BCCs) in vitro, to determine the direction of this relationship according to existing research and to identify the directions for future research. Methods A systematic literature search was conducting using a collection of databases, using the following search terms: in vitro AND mesenchymal stem cells AND breast cancer. Only studies that investigated the effects of human, unmodified MSCs on the migration of human, unmodified BCCs in vitro were included. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) were calculated to determine pooled effect sizes. Results This meta-analysis demonstrates that hMSCs (different sources combined) increase the migration of both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines in vitro (SMD = 1.84, P = .03 and SMD = 2.69, P < .00001, respectively). Importantly, the individual effects of hMSCs from different sources were also analysed and demonstrated that MSCs derived from human adipose tissue increase BCC migration (SMD = 1.34, P = .0002) and those derived from umbilical cord increased both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 migration (SMD = 3.93, P < .00001 and SMD = 3.01, P < .00001, respectively). Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review and meta-analysis investigating and summarising the effects of hMSCs from different sources on the migration of BCCs, in vitro.

Chem Biol Interact 2023; 369:110283.

Abstract
Breast cancer is now the most prevalent cancer in females, therefore, it is essential to identify factors affecting its initiation and progression. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have received considerable attention in stem cell-based therapies and drug delivery applications. Because the therapeutic potential of MSCs is primarily achieved by their paracrine effects, thus identifying and employing bioactive molecules that promote the paracrine activity of MSCs is crucial for their efficient use in cancer treatment. Thymoquinone (TQ) has many biomedical properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-aging, anti-cancer, etc. In addition, it has been found that TQ affects the self-renewal and immunomodulatory properties of MSCs. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of TQ-treated mouse bone marrow-derived MSCs conditioned medium (TQ-MSC-CM) on the biological characteristics of breast cancer cell line MCF7. MSCs were cultured and treated with TQ for 24 h. The TQ-MSC-CM and MSC-CM were collected, and their effects were investigated on ROS production, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cell death, cell cycle, and migration of MCF7 cells by DCFDA-cellular ROS assay, Rhodamine-123 MMP assay, Annexin-PI staining and Caspase-3/7 activity assays, PI-staining and flow-cytometry, and in vitro wound healing assay, respectively. Moreover, the effects of TQ-MSC-CM and MSC-CM were studied on Cdk4, Sox2, c-Met, and Bcl2 gene expression by real-time PCR. Results demonstrated that MSC-CM and TQ-MSC-CM did not have a significant effect on the apoptosis induction in MCF7 cells; however, they significantly stimulated necrosis in the cells. Although TQ-MSC-CM promoted ROS production in MCF7 cells, it decreased the MMP of the cells. TQ-MSC-CM also induced Bcl2 anti-apoptosis gene expression and Casp-3/7 activity in cells. In addition, although MSC-CM induced MCF7 cells to enter the cell cycle, TQ-MSC-CM inhibited its progression. TQ-MSC-CM also downregulated the Cdk4 and Sox2 gene expression. Furthermore, TQ-MSC-CM induced the migration potential of MCF7 in a c-Met-independent manner. Altogether, we conclude that TQ may induce programmed necrosis and inhibits the proliferation and migration of the breast cancer cells by affecting the paracrine activity of MSCs.

Abstract
Chronic wound management represents a major challenge in the healthcare sector owing to its delayed wound-healing process progression and huge financial burden. In this regard, wound dressings provide an appropriate platform for facilitating wound healing for several decades. However, adherent traditional wound dressings do not provide effective wound healing for highly exudating chronic wounds and need the development of newer and innovative wound dressings to facilitate accelerated wound healing. In addition, these dressings need frequent changing, resulting in more pain and discomfort. In order to overcome these issues, a wide range of affordable and innovative modern wound dressings have been developed and explored recently to accelerate and improve the wound healing process. However, a comprehensive understanding of various in vitro and in vivo characterization methods being utilized for the evaluation of different modern wound dressings is lacking. In this context, an overview of modern dressings and their complete in vitro and in vivo characterization methods for wound healing assessment is provided in this review. Herein, various emerging modern wound dressings with advantages and challenges have also been reviewed. Furthermore, different in vitro wound healing assays and in vivo wound models being utilized for the evaluation of wound healing progression and wound healing rate using wound dressings are discussed in detail. Finally, a summary of modern wound dressings with challenges and the future outlook is highlighted.

Abstract
Chemokines are well equipped with chemo-attractive signals that can regulate cancer cell trafficking to specific organ sites. Currently, updated concepts have revealed the diverse role of chemokines in the biology of cancer initiation and progression. Genomic instabilities and alterations drive tumor heterogeneity, providing more options for the selection and metastatic progression to cancer cells. Tumor heterogeneity and acquired drug resistance are the main obstacles in managing cancer therapy and the primary root cause of metastasis. Studies emphasize that multiple chemokine/receptor axis are involved in cancer cell-mediated organ-specific distant metastasis. One of the persuasive mechanisms for heterogeneity and subsequent events is sturdily interlinked with the crosstalk between chemokines and their receptors on cancer cells and tissue-specific microenvironment. Among different metastatic niches, skeletal metastasis is frequently observed in the late stages of prostate, breast, and lung cancer and significantly reduces the survival of cancer patients. Therefore, it is crucial to elucidate the role of chemokines and their receptors in metastasis and bone remodeling. Here, we review the potential chemokine/receptor axis in tumorigenesis, tumor heterogeneity, metastasis, and vicious cycle in bone microenvironment.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) encompass a heterogeneous population of fibroblastic progenitor cells that reside in multiple tissues around the body. They are endowed with capacities to differentiate into multiple connective tissue lineages, including chondrocytes, adipocytes, and osteoblasts, and are thought to function as trophic cells recruited to sites of injury and inflammation where they contribute to tissue regeneration. In keeping with these roles, MSCs also to home to sites of breast tumorigenesis, akin to their migration to wounds, and participate in tumor stroma formation. Mounting evidence over the past two decades has described the critical regulatory roles for tumor-associated MSCs in various aspects of breast tumor pathogenesis, be it tumor initiation, growth, angiogenesis, tumor microenvironment formation, immune evasion, cancer cell migration, invasion, survival, therapeutic resistance, dissemination, and metastatic colonization. In this review, we present a brief summary of the role of MSCs in breast tumor development and progression, highlight some of the molecular frameworks underlying their pro-malignant contributions, and present evidence of their promising utility in breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were applied to the therapy for degenerative diseases, immune, and inflammation. In tumor microenvironments (TME), different sources of MSCs showed that tumor-promoting and -inhibiting effects were mediated by different signaling pathways. Cancer-associated MSCs (CaMSCs) could be recruited from bone marrow or local tissues and mainly showed tumor-promoting and immunosuppressive effects. The transformed CaMSCs preserve the characteristics of stem cells, but the properties of regulating TME are different. Hence, we specifically focus on CaMSCs and discuss the detailed mechanisms of regulating the development of cancer cells and immune cells. CaMSCs could be a potential therapeutic target in various types of cancer. However, the detailed mechanisms of CaMSCs in the TME are relatively less known and need further study.

Abstract
The healing of deep skin wounds is a complex phenomenon evolving according with a fine spatiotemporal regulation of different biological events (hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, remodeling). Due to the spontaneous evolution of damaged human dermis toward a fibrotic scar, the treatment of deep wounds still represents a clinical concern. Bioengineered full-thickness skin models may play a crucial role in this direction by providing a deep understanding of the process that leads to the formation of fibrotic scars. This will allow (i) to identify new drugs and targets/biomarkers, (ii) to test new therapeutic approaches, and (iii) to develop more accurate in silico models, with the final aim to guide the closure process toward a scar-free closure and, in a more general sense, (iv) to understand the mechanisms involved in the intrinsic and extrinsic aging of the skin. In this work, the complex dynamic of events underlaying the closure of deep skin wound is presented and the engineered models that aim at replicating such complex phenomenon are reviewed. Despite the complexity of the cellular and extracellular events occurring during the skin wound healing the gold standard assay used to replicate such a process is still represented by planar in vitro models that have been largely used to identify the key factors regulating the involved cellular processes. However, the lack of the main constituents of the extracellular matrix (ECM) makes these over-simplistic 2D models unable to predict the complexity of the closure process. Three-dimensional bioengineered models, which aim at recreating the closure dynamics of the human dermis by using exogenous biomaterials, have been developed to fill such a gap. Although interesting mechanistic effects have been figured out, the effect of the inflammatory response on the ECM remodelling is not replicated yet. We discuss how more faithful wound healing models can be obtained by creating immunocompetent 3D dermis models featuring an endogenous ECM.

Abstract
It is becoming increasingly evident that mesenchymal stem/stromal cells are recruited by cancer cells from nearby endogenous host stroma and promote events such as tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis, as well as mediate therapeutic resistance. Consequently, understanding the regulatory mechanisms of ASCs that influence the tumor microenvironment may provide an avenue for further treatment. To understand the role of the ASC secretome in breast cancer cell proliferation, death, and phenotype alteration, adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium (mASC) was used to cultivate MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. These breast cancer cells in mASC showed a shorter doubling time, higher frequency of EdU positivity, and higher levels of phosphorylated histone 3. In addition, increased expression of cyclin B1 was observed, suggesting that proliferation was induced. The mASC was also able to increase apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, which was confirmed by caspase-7 activation. The number of tumor-initiating cells (CD44+ CD24-/low) and migration capacity were increased in cells cultivated in mASC. These data collectively suggest that ASC-conditioned medium can induce selective pressure by increasing cell proliferation, giving rise to a more aggressive phenotype in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Our study provides a foundation for further elucidation of the precise mechanism underlying ASCs in breast cancer cells and the modulation of ASCs in potential therapeutic uses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), one of the most important stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, play a major role in the immunomodulation and development of tumors. In contrast to immunomodulatory effects of bone marrow-derived MSCs, resident MSCs were not well studied in tumor. The aim of this study was to compare the immunomodulatory properties and protein secretion profiles of MSCs isolated from breast tumor (T-MSC) and normal breast adipose tissue (N-MSC). MATERIALS AND METHODS T-MSCs and N-MSCs were isolated by the explant culture method and characterized, and their immunomodulatory function was assessed on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) by evaluating the effects of MSC conditioned media on the proliferation and induction of some cytokines and regulatory T cells (Tregs) by BrdU assay, ELISA, and flow cytometry. In addition, we compared the secretion of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, and Galectin-1. RESULTS T-MSCs showed a higher secretion of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), IDO, and VEGF and lower secretion of MMP-2 and MMP-9 compared with N-MSCs. However, no significant difference was found in the secretion of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin 10 (IL10), IL4, IL17, and Galectin-1 in T-MSCs and N-MSCs. The immunomodulatory effect of soluble factors on PBLs showed that T-MSCs, in contrast to N-MSCs, stimulate PBL proliferation. Importantly, the ability of T-MSCs to induce IL10, TGF-β, IFN-γ, and PGE2 was higher than that of N-MSCs. In addition, T-MSCs and N-MSCs exhibited no significant difference in Treg induction. CONCLUSION MSCs educated in stage II breast cancer and normal breast adipose tissue, although sharing a similar morphology and immunophenotype, exhibited a clearly different profile in some immunomodulatory functions and protein secretions.

[PMID: 31555047 PMCID: PMC6753512 DOI: 10.1177/1178223419864896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Accepted: 06/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
Adipose tissue engineering using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) has emerged
as an opportunity to develop novel approaches to postmastectomy breast
reconstruction with the potential for an autologous tissue source with a natural
appearance and texture. As of yet, the role of ADSCs in breast cancer
development and metastasis is not completely understood; therefore, we must
consider the oncological safety of employing an autologous source of ADSCs for
use in breast regeneration. This study investigated the regenerative properties
of ADSCs isolated from breast cancer patients, including those who had received
neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and noncancer controls. The ADSCs were characterised
for several parameters central to tissue regeneration, including cell viability,
proliferation, differentiation potential, and cytokine secretion. A stem cell
population was isolated and confirmed by flow cytometry and multilineage
differentiation. There was no difference in cell phenotype or surface antigen
expression between ADSCs from different sources. Adipose-derived stem cells
isolated from the breast of cancer patients exhibited reduced adipogenic
differentiation potential compared with ADSCs from other sources. The greatest
degree of adipogenic differentiation was observed in ADSCs isolated from the
subcutaneous abdominal fat of noncancer controls. The proliferation rate of
ADSCs isolated from the breast of cancer patients was increased compared with
other sources; however, it was decreased in ADSCs isolated from breast cancer
patients who had recently been treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A number
of cytokines were detected in the cell conditioned media of ADSCs from different
sources, including matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), which was detected at
higher levels in the secretome of ADSCs from breast cancer patients compared
with noncancer controls. This study provides important information relating to
the suitability of ADSCs as an autologous cell source for adipose tissue
engineering in postcancer reconstruction. Results indicate that while the
surface phenotype does not differ, the differentiation capacity, proliferative
rate, and secreted cytokine profile are affected by the presence or treatment of
breast cancer. These findings support further investigation into the
regenerative potential of these ADSCs, if they are to be considered in clinical
reconstructive strategies.

Abstract
In many cases, cancers are difficult to eliminate because they develop resistance to a primary chemotherapy or targeted therapy. Tumors grow into diverse cell subpopulations, increasing the ability to resist elimination. The phenomenon of 'cell competition' describes our body's natural surveillance system to optimize tissue fitness by forcing viable but aberrant cells to undergo cell death. Cell competition is not simply comparison of cell division potential. Competition factors signal for 'loser' cell elimination and 'winner' cell dominance. New evidence demonstrates it is possible to restrict cancer growth by strengthening the cell fitness of surrounding healthy tissue via anti-apoptotic pathways. Hence, cell competition provides strong conceptual explanation for oncogenesis, tumor growth and suppression. Tumor heterogeneity is a hallmark of many cancers and establishes gradients in which competitive interactions are able to occur among tumor cell subpopulations as well as neighboring stromal tissue. Here we review cellular/molecular competition pathways in the context of tumor evolution, heterogeneity and response to interventions. We propose strategies to exploit these mediators and design novel broad-spectrum therapeutic approaches that eliminate cancer and enhance fitness of neighboring tissue to improve patient outcomes.

Tumor Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Regulate Cell Migration of Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor through Exosome-Mediated miR155/SMARCA4 Pathway. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:cancers11050720. [PMID: 31137686 PMCID: PMC6563126 DOI: 10.3390/cancers11050720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2019] [Revised: 04/19/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare pediatric brain tumor with extremely high aggressiveness and poor prognosis. The tumor microenvironment is regulated by a complex interaction among distinct cell types, yet the crosstalk between tumor-associated mesenchymal stem cells (tMSCs) and naïve ATRT cells are unclear. In this study, we sought to identify the secretory factor(s) that is responsible for the tMSC-mediated regulation of ATRT migration. Comparing with ATRT cell alone, co-culture of tMSCs or addition of its conditioned medium (tMSC-CM) promoted the migration of ATRT, and this effect could be abrogated by exosome release inhibitor GW4869. The exosomes in tMSC-CM were detected by transmission electron microscope and flow cytometry. ATRT naïve cell-derived conditioned media (ATRT-CM) also enhanced the exosome secretion from tMSCs, indicating the interplay between ATRT cells and tMSCs. Microarray analysis revealed that, compared with that in bone marrow-derived MSCs, microRNA155 is the most upregulated microRNA in the tMSC-CM. Tracing the PK67-labeled exosomes secreted from tMSCs confirmed their incorporation into naïve ATRT cells. After entering ATRT cells, miR155 promoted ATRT cell migration by directly targeting SMARCA4. Knockdown of SMARCA4 mimicked the miR155-driven ATRT cell migration, whereas SMARCA4 overexpression or the delivery of exosomes with miR155 knockdown suppressed the migration. Furthermore, abrogation of exosome release with GW4869 reduced the tumorigenesis of the xenograft containing naïve ATRT cells and tMSCs in immunocompromised recipients. In conclusion, our data have demonstrated that tMSCs secreted miR155-enriched exosomes, and the exosome incorporation and miR155 delivery further promoted migration in ATRT cells via a SMARCA4-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Mesenchymal Stem Cells [MSCs] are a heterogeneous population of fibroblast-like cells which maintain self-renewability and pluripotency. Many studies have demonstrated the immunomodulatory effects of MSCs on the innate and adaptive immune cells. As a result of interactions with tumor cells, microenvironment and immune-stimulating milieu, MSCs contribute to tumor progression by several mechanisms, including sustained proliferative signal in cancer stem cells [CSCs], inhibition of tumor cell apoptosis, transition to tumor-associated fibroblasts [TAFs], promotion of angiogenesis, stimulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition [EMT], suppression of immune responses, and consequential promotion of tumor metastasis. Here, we present an overview of the latest findings on Janusfaced roles that MSCs play in the tumor microenvironment [TME], with a concise focus on innate and adaptive immune responses.

Abstract
Female sex steroid hormones have a fundamental role in breast cancer. Meanwhile, current evidence supports the contribution of breast cancer stem cells in carcinogenesis, metastasis, and resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Nevertheless, the interaction between breast cancer stem cells with sex hormones or key hormonal antagonists remains elusive. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of diverse sex hormonal stimulation and suppression regimens on the proliferation of a primary human breast cancer cells with stem cell activity. METHODS Cells were exposed to estradiol, progesterone, letrozole, ulipristal acetate, or a combination of ulipristal acetate-letrozole, continually for 6 months. Additionally, nanoparticle-linked letrozole and ulipristal acetate formulations were included in a subsequent short-term exposure study. Phenotypic, pathologic, and functional characteristics of unexposed cells were investigated. RESULTS The proliferation of breast cancer cells was comparable among all hormonal stimulation and suppression groups (P= 0.8). In addition, the nanoparticle encapsulated hormonal antagonists were not able to overcome the observed resistance of cells. Cell characterization showed a mesenchymal-like phenotype overexpressing three master pluripotency markers (Oct 4, SOX2, and Nanog), and 92% of cells were expressing ALDH1A1. Notably, the CD44 high/CD24 low cell population presented only 0.97%-5.4% over repeat analyses. Most cells lacked the expression of mesenchymal markers; however, they showed differentiation into osteogenic and adipogenic lineages. Upon transfer to serum-free culture, the long-term maintained mesenchymal-like cancer cells showed remarkable morphologic plasticity as they switched promptly into an epithelial-like phenotype with significant mammosphere formation capacity (P= 0.008). CONCLUSION Breast cancer cells can develop a pluripotent program with enhanced stemness activity that may together contribute to universal resistance to sex hormonal stimulation or deprivation. Isolation and characterization of patient-derived breast cancer stem cells in large clinical studies is therefore crucial to identify new targets for endocrine therapies, potentially directed towards stemness and pluripotency markers. Such direction may help overcoming endocrine resistance and draw attention to breast cancer stem cells' behaviour under endogenous and exogenous sex hormones throughout a woman's reproductive life.

Abstract
Tapping into the ability of engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to mobilise into the tumour has expanded the scope of cancer treatment. Engineered MSCs expressing tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (MSC-TRAIL) could serve as a platform for an efficient and targeted form of therapy. However, the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are resistant to TRAIL and apoptosis may represent a challenge for effective treatment. Nonetheless, with the discovery of small molecular inhibitors that could target CSCs and tumour signalling pathways, a higher efficacy of MSC-TRAIL mediated tumour inhibition can be achieved. This might pave the way for a more effective form of combined therapy, which leads to a better treatment outcome. In this review, we first discuss the tumour-homing capacity of MSCs, its effect in tumour tropism, the different approach behind genetically-engineered MSCs, and the efficacy and safety of each agent delivered by these MSCs. Then, we focus on how sensitisation of CSCs and tumours using small molecular inhibitors can increase the effect of these cells to either TRAIL or MSC-TRAIL mediated inhibition. In the conclusion, we address a few questions and safety concerns regarding the utilization of engineered MSCs for future treatment in patients.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are known to have immunomodulatory properties through soluble factors or by direct cell-to-cell contact. This study aimed to assess the expression of HLA-G and IDO activity in breast cancer and normal ASCs and to see whether ASC is capable of modulating both tumor cells and immune system cells in vitro. ASCs were enzymatically isolated from 15 breast cancer patients and 10 normal individuals. Then they were cultured, and the impact of their conditioned media on the movement of the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line was studied in wound healing scratch assay. Next, PBLs from the peripheral blood of normal individuals were separated and co-cultured with breast cancer and normal ASCs. PBLs proliferation and apoptosis were assessed using CFSE labeling dye and annexin V/7AAD staining, respectively. IDO activity and HLA-G protein expression in ASCs were examined using kynurenine assay and Western blotting, respectively. Tumor-derived ASCs, especially those from higher stages of breast cancer, have stronger effects on the proliferation and movement of MDA-MB-231 cells than normal ASCs (P-value < 0.05). Apoptosis in PBLs increased in the presence of ASCs compared to PBLs cultured alone (P-value < 0.05). In contrast, necrosis of PBLs decreased in the presence of ASCs compared to apoptosis in these cells (P-value < 0.001). Collectively, ASCs may have strategic effects on both tumor cells and cells of the immune system in the tumor microenvironment, resulting in tumor development, growth, and metastasis.

Abstract
C-terminal Src kinase (Csk)-binding protein (Cbp) is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane adaptor protein which regulating Src family kinase (SFK) activities. Although SFKs are well known for their involvement in breast cancer, the function of Cbp in breast carcinogenesis upon the adipose-tumor microenvironment has not been investigated. Here, we reported that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) induced increased expression of Cbp accompanied by enhanced cell proliferation and chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer cell MCF-7/ADR. Depletion of Cbp in breast cancer cell by RNA interference led to remarkable inhibition of cell proliferation, invasion as well as synergy with adriamycin hydrochloride to suppress the tumor growth. Furthermore, silencing of Cbp concomitantly inhibited the expression of phosphoryl of Src, AKT and mTOR signals. Our study highlights the underlying mechanism of cross interaction between ASCs and breast cancer cells, and indicates that PAG1/Cbp in breast cancer cell may modulate tumor progression and acquired chemoresistance in the ASCs-associated breast cancer microenvironment through Src and AKT/mTOR pathways.

Abstract
Due to coexistence of stromal and epithelial tumor cells, their dynamic interactions have been widely recognized as significant cellular components to the tumor tissue integrity. Initiation and outcome of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumor cells are dependent on their interaction with adjacent or recruited mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). A plethora of mechanisms are involved in MSCs-controlled employment of the developmental processes of EMT that contribute to loss of epithelial cell phenotype and acquisition of stemness, invasiveness and chemoresistance of tumor cells. Interplay of MSCs with tumor cells, including interchange of soluble biomolecules, plasma membrane structures, cytoplasmic content, and organelles, is established through cell-cell contact and/or by means of paracrine signaling. The main focus of this review is to summarize knowledge about involvement of MSCs in cancer cell EMT. Understanding the underlying cellular and molecular mechanism involved in the interplay between MSCs and cancer EMT is essential for development of effective therapy approaches, which in combination with current treatments may improve the control of tumor progression.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare, yet highly aggressive form of breast cancer, which accounts for less than 5% of all locally advanced presentations. The clinical presentation of inflammatory breast cancer often differs significantly from that of noninflammatory breast cancer; however, immunohistochemistry reveals few, if any, distinguishing features. The more aggressive triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancer subtypes are overrepresented in inflammatory breast cancer compared with noninflammatory breast cancer, with a poorer prognosis in response to conventional therapies. Despite its name, there remains some controversy regarding the role of inflammation in inflammatory breast cancer. This review summarises the current molecular evidence suggesting that inflammatory signaling pathways are upregulated in this disease, including NF-κB activation and excessive IL-6 production among others, which may provide an avenue for novel therapeutics. The role of the tumor microenvironment, through tumor-associated macrophages, infiltrating lymphocytes, and cancer stem cells is also discussed, suggesting that these tumor extrinsic factors may help account for the differences in behavior between inflammatory breast cancer and noninflammatory breast cancer. While there are various novel treatment strategies already underway in clinical trials, the need for further development of preclinical models of this rare but aggressive disease is paramount.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of direct cell-cell interactions mediating selective bone metastasis by breast cancer cells (BCCs) niche is still mostly unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS Conditioned medium and direct cell-cell contacts experiments were used to investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), osteoprogenitor-like cells (MG-63) and osteosarcoma cells (SaOS-2) on luminal-like (MCF-7) and basal-like (MDA-MB-231) BCCs flow cytometry was used to assess the purity of isolated BCCs and osteoblasts. Expression of osteoblastic markers was investigated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. RANKL and OPG levels were measured by ELISA. RESULTS Conditioned medium from MSCs and osteoblasts induced the expression of osteoblastic markers in BCCs. While co-culture assays with SaOS-2 increased the expression of osteoblastic markers in MCF-7 cells, SaOS-2 cell conditioned medium increased the expression of RANKL, PTHrP, VEGF and NOGGIN in MCF-7 cells. Co-cultures with either MG-63 cells or MSCs induced OPG and MMP-2 in both tumor cell lines. Interestingly, conditioned medium from co-cultures of MSCs and MDA-MB-231 cells significantly decreased the proliferation of activated T lymphocytes which was reversed by addition of anti-OPG antibodies to the co-cultures. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that MSCs strongly contribute to the adaptation and invasiveness of breast cancer cells in skeletal tissues.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multi-potent progenitor cells with ability to differentiate into multiple lineages, including bone, cartilage, fat, and muscles. Recent research indicates that MSCs can be efficiently recruited to tumor sites, modulating tumor growth and metastasis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we first demonstrated that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs), when mixed with human cholangiocarcinoma cell lines QBC939 in a xenograft tumor model, significantly increased the cancer cells proliferation and metastatic potency. MSCs and their conditioned media (MSC-CM) could improve the drug resistance of tumor when the compound K (CK) as an anti-cancer drug, a major intestinal bacterial metabolite of panaxoside, was administered to xenograft tumor mice. Furthermore, MSCs greatly increased the colony formation and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells QBC939 and Mz-ChA-1. Immunochemistry studies of cholangiocarcinoma tissue chips and transplantation tumor from nude mice showed that the expression of β-catenin was important for cholangiocarcinoma development. We further demonstrated that MSCs and MSCs-CM could promote proliferation and migration of cholangiocarcinoma cells through targeting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. hUC-MSCs or MSCs-CM stimulated Wnt activity by promoting the nuclear translocation of β-catenin, and up-regulated Wnt target genes MMPs family, cyclin D1 and c-Myc. Together, our studies highlight a critical role for MSCs on cancer metastasis and indicate MSCs promote metastatic growth and chemoresistance of cholangiocarcinoma cells via activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
AbstractWound healing is essential for the restoration of the barrier function of the skin. During this process, cells at the wound edges proliferate and migrate, leading to re-epithelialization of the wound surface. Wound healing assays are used to study the molecular mechanisms of wound repair, as well as in the investigation of potential therapeutics and treatments for improved healing. Numerous models of wound healing have been developed in recent years. In this review, we focus on in vitro assays, as they allow a fast, cost-efficient and ethical alternative to animal models. This paper gives a general overview of 2-dimensional (2D) cell monolayer assays by providing a description of injury methods, as well as an evaluation of each assay’s strengths and limitations. We include a section reviewing assays performed in 3-dimensional (3D) culture, which employ bioengineered skin models to capture complex wound healing mechanics like cell-matrix interactions and the interplay of different cell types in the healing process. Finally, we discuss in detail available software tools and algorithms for data analysis.

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL & CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH : CR 2015; 34:52. [PMID: 25986392 PMCID: PMC4443537 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-015-0172-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2015] [Accepted: 05/08/2015] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been identified to be closely associated with tumor growth and progression. However, the roles of tumor-resident MSCs in cancer have not been thoroughly clarified. This study was to investigate the regulating effect of gastric cancer-derived MSCs (GC-MSCs) on gastric cancer and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Methods GC-MSCs were isolated from primary human gastric cancer tissues and characterized. The effect of GC-MSCs on gastric cancer cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT assay and colony formation assay. Transwell migration assay was performed to evaluate the influence of GC-MSCs in gastric cancer cell migration. The regulating effects of interactions between gastric cancer cells and GC-MSCs on their pro-angiogenic abilities were analyzed in a co-culture system, with the expression, and secretion of pro-angiogenic factors detected by RT-PCR and Luminex assay. Tube formation assay was used to further validate the angiogenic capability of gastric cancer cells or GC-MSCs. Cytokine profiles in the supernatant of GC-MSCs were screened by Luminex assay and neutralizing antibody was used to identify the key effective cytokines. The activations of Akt and Erk1/2 in gastric caner cells were detected by Western blot. Results GC-MSC treatment enhanced the proliferation and migration of BGC-823 and MKN-28 cells, which was more potently than MSCs from adjacent non-cancerous tissues (GCN-MSCs) or bone marrow (BM-MSCs). Higher expression levels of pro-angiogenic factors were detected in GC-MSCs than GCN-MSCs or BM-MSCs. After 10 % GC-MSC-CM treatment, BGC-823, and MKN-28 cells expressed increased levels of pro-angiogenic factors and facilitated tube formation more potently than cancer cells alone. Furthermore, GC-MSCs produced an extremely higher level of interleukin-8 (IL-8) than GCN-MSCs or BM-MSCs. Blockade of IL-8 by neutralizing antibody significantly attenuated the tumor-promoting effect of GC-MSCs. In addition, 10 % CM of IL-8-secreted GC-MSCs induced the activations of Akt or Erk1/2 pathway in BGC-823 and MKN-28 cells. Conclusion Tumor-resident GC-MSCs promote gastric cancer growth and progression more efficiently than GCN-MSCs or BM-MSCs through a considerable secretion of IL-8, which could be a possible target for gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background Cellular senescence is linked to aging and tumorigenesis. The senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may influence the tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis by secreting a variety of cytokines and growth factors. Results The conditioned media of adipose derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) stimulated the proliferation of human LoVo colorectal-cancer cells, and the replicative senescent MSCs had the more obvious effects in comparison to that of premature AD-MSCs. Analysis of the factors secreted in the MSCs culture media determined that senescent MSCs expressed and secreted high levels of galectin-3. Galectin-3 expression correlated with the stimulatory effect of senescent AD-MSCs on LoVo cells proliferation, as knockdown of galectin-3 in senescent AD-MSCs significantly reversed the effect of MSCs–mediated growth stimulation of LoVo cells. Furthermore, the simultaneous addition of recombinant galectin-3 to the co-culture systems partially restored the tumor-promoting effect of the senescent AD-MSCs. Analysis of the mechanisms of senescent MSCs and galectin-3 on LoVo cells signal transduction determined that senescent MSCs and exogenous galectin-3 promoted cell growth by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) (extracellular signal-regulated kinase [ERK]1/2) pathway. Conclusions Senescent MSCs may alter the tissue microenvironment and affect nearby malignant cells via cytokine secretion, and galectin-3 is an important mediator of senescent AD-MSC–mediated stimulation of colon cancer cell growth. Therefore, thorough assessment of AD-MSCs prior to their implementation in clinical practice is warranted.

Abstract
Conventional breast cancer extirpation involves resection of parts of or the whole gland, resulting in asymmetry and disfiguration. Given the unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes, patients often desire postmastectomy reconstructive procedures. Autologous fat grafting has been proposed for reconstructive purposes for decades to restore form and anatomy after mastectomy. Fat has the inherent advantage of being autologous tissue and the most natural-appearing filler, but given its inconsistent engraftment and retention rates, it lacks reliability. Implementation of autologous fat grafts with cellular adjuncts, such as multipotent adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), has shown promising results. However, it is pertinent and critical to question whether these cells could promote any residual tumor cells to proliferate, differentiate, or metastasize or even induce de novo carcinogenesis. Thus far, preclinical and clinical study findings are discordant. A trend towards potential promotion of both breast cancer growth and invasion by ADSCs found in basic science studies was indeed not confirmed in clinical trials. Whether experimental findings eventually correlate with or will be predictive of clinical outcomes remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to concisely review current experimental findings on the interaction of mesenchymal stem cells and breast cancer, mainly focusing on ADSCs as a promising tool for regenerative medicine, and discuss the implications in clinical translation.
