Our study intends to assess the relationship between exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-exo) and breast cancer. BMSC-exo were isolated and characterized by transmission electron microscopy. After transfection of BMSCs with miR-204 inhibitor, breast cancer cells were incubated with BMSC-exo followed by analysis of cell proliferation by CCK-8 assay, cell apoptosis by flow cytometry, and expression of apoptosis-related protein and NF-κB signaling by western blot. The co-culture of BMSC-exo with breast cancer cells enhanced miR-204 transcription, inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. Further, BMSC-exo accelerated apoptosis as demonstrated by the increased level of Bax and casepase-3 and decreased Bcl-2 expression, as well as reduced NF-κB signaling activity. But knockdown of miR-204 abolished the effect of BMSC-exo on apoptosis and proliferation with NF-κB signaling activation. In conclusion, miR-204 from BMSC-exo restrains growth of breast cancer cell and might be a novel target for treating breast cancer.

This study investigates miR-506 targeting the autophagy and apoptosis-related gene Beclin1 and analyzes the mechanism of its effect on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation and metastasis to breast cancer. Detection of miRNA-506 expression in BMSCs and breast cancer cells was done by Real-time PCR. A luciferase reporter system analyzed the targeting relationship between Beclin1 and miR-506. miR-NC group, BMSCs induction group, siRNA-NC group, and siRNA-Beclin1 group was set to measure Beclin1 expression, cell differentiation and migration by transwell assay, cell viability by MTT assay, proliferation by EdU staining and apoptosis and cycle by flow cell assay. miRNA-506 showed a high expression in breast cancer cells and low expression in BMSCs. miRNA-506 mimics significantly promote breast cancer cell proliferation which was inhibited by miRNA-506 inhibitors. The expression of Beclin1mRNA was significantly higher and miR-506 was lower in breast cancer cells. BMSCs induction significantly downregulated Beclin1 expression, increased miR-506 expression, and promoted cell invasive differentiation and metastatic capacity. In conclusion, elevated miR-506 expression was associated with decreased Beclin1 expression and increased metastatic differentiation capacity of breast cancer cells, which could effectively increase differentiation capacity and metastatic differentiation after induction by BMSCs.

Aim. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from human bone marrow (hBM) and adipose tissue (hAT) are perceived as attractive sources of stem cells for cell therapy. The aim of this study was to compare MSCs from hBM and hAT for their immunocytochemistry staining and resistance to in vitro apoptosis. Methods. In our study, we investigated the antiapoptotic ability of these MSCs toward oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and serum deprivation. Results were assessed by MTT and flow cytometry. All experiments were repeated a minimum of three times. Results. Flow cytometry and MTT analysis revealed that hAT-MSCs exhibited a higher resistance toward H2O2-induced apoptosis (n=3, hBM-hAT viability H2O2  58.43±1.24–73.02±1.44, P<0.02) and to serum-deprivation-induced apoptosis at days 1 and 4 than the hBM-MSCs (n=3, hAT-hBM absorbance, resp., day 1: 0.305±0.027–0.234±0.015, P=0.029, day 4: 0.355±0.003–0.318±0.007, P=0.001, and day 7: 0.400±0.017–0.356±0.008, P=0.672). hAT-MSCs showed superior tolerance to oxidative stress triggered by 2 mmol/L H2O2 and also have superior antiapoptosis capacity toward serum-free culture. Conclusion. In this study we found that hAT-MSCs are more resistant to in vitro apoptosis.

Improving the tumor targeting of docetaxel (DTX) would not only be favored for the chemotherapeutic efficacy, but also reduce its side effects. However, the regulation of the tumor microenvironment could further inhibit the growth of tumors. In this study, we introduced a system consisting of hypoxia-engineered bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (H-bMSCs) and DTX micelles (DTX-M) for breast cancer treatment. First, the stem cell chemotherapy complex system (DTX@H-bMSCs) with tumor-targeting ability was constructed according to the uptake of DTX-M by hypoxia-induced bMSCs (H-bMSCs). DTX micellization improved the uptake efficiency of DTX by H-bMSCs, which equipped DTX@H-bMSCs with satisfactory drug loading and stability. Furthermore, the migration of DTX@H-bMSCs revealed that it could effectively target the tumor site and facilitate the drug transport between cells. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo pharmacodynamics of DTX@H-bMSCs exhibited a superior antitumor effect, which could promote the apoptosis of 4T1 cells and upregulate the expression of inflammatory factors at the tumor site. In brief, DTX@H-bMSCs enhanced the chemotherapeutic effect in breast cancer treatment.

Abstract Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can promote the recovery of immune balance and regulate the balance of Th1/2 cells. Allergic rhinitis is a disease with Th1/2 imbalance mediated by IgE. It’s unclear whether BMSCs could regulate AR disease. In this study, the possible role of BMSCs was explored. Methods : AR mouse model was established by ovalbumin (OVA). 18 models were randomly divided into three groups: AR-sensitized, Stem-cell-returned, Medium-returned; six unsensitized mouses named normal-control. IgE, IL-4 and INF-γ levels were measured by Elisa. Observing migration of BMSCs by immunofluorescence. Flow cytometry used to detect changes of Th1/2. STAT 4/6 protein level was detected by Western-blot. Results : After OVA-sensitization, IgE, IL-4 and STAT6 levels were higher, INF-γ and STAT4 level was lower. Flow cytometry revealed a decrease in Th1 cell and an increase in Th2 cell in AR group. After BMSCs treatment, t IgE, IL-4 and STAT6 levels in SCRg and MRg were lower than that in AR group, and tINF-γ and STAT4 level were higher than hat inAR group. Flow cytometry showed that the content of Th1 cell increased while Th2 cell decreased. Conclusions: BMSCs return treatment could decrease the expression of IL-4, promote the expression of INF-γ and regulate the balance of Th cell, and the mechanism was closely related to STAT4/6 signaling pathway. However there was no statistical difference between SCRg and MRg, so the role of BMSCs maybe achieved through paracrine function rather than multi-directional differentiation potential.

Objective. The study aim to investigate the role of microRNA-155 (miR-155) on the immunoregulatory function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods. MSCs were isolated from 2-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats and identified by flow cytometry using anti-CD29, anti-CD44, anti-CD34, and anti-CD45 antibodies. MSCs were transfected with miR155-mimics, miR155-inhibitor, and control oligos, respectively, and then cocultured with spleen mononuclear cells (SMCs). The mRNA levels of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cell-specific transcription factors (Tbx21, Gata3, Rorc, and Foxp3, resp.) and the miR-155 target gene SOCS1 were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) in SMCs. The proportion of CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg cells was detected by flow cytometry. In addition, the effects of MSCs transfected with miR-155 on the migration of rat SMCs were investigated by transwell chamber. Results. CD29 and CD44 were expressed in MSCs, while CD34 and CD45 were negative. The percentage of CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg cells in the SMC population was significantly higher compared with that noted in SMCs control group (p<0.001) following 72 hours of coculture with miR155-mimics-transfected SMCs. In contrast, the percentage of CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg cells in the SMCs cocultured with miR155-inhibitor-transfected MSCs was significantly lower compared with that noted in SMCs control group (p<0.001). MiR155-mimics-transfected MSCs inhibited the expression of Tbx21, Rorc, and SOCS1, while the expression of Gata3 and Foxp3 was increased. In contrast to the downregulation of the aforementioned genes, miR155-inhibitor-transfected MSCs resulted in upregulation of Tbx21, Rorc, and SOCS1 expression levels and inhibition of Gata3 and Foxp3. In the transwell assay, miR155-mimics-transfected MSCs exhibited lower levels of SMCs migration, while the miR155-inhibitor-transfected MSCs demonstrated significantly higher levels of migration, compared with the blank control group (p<0.01, resp.). Conclusion. miR-155 favors the differentiation of T cells into Th2 and Treg cells in MSCs, while it inhibits the differentiation to Th1 and Th17 cells.

Cd34 Expression

Introduction: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are considered as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Indeed, they display all characteristics of MSCs that compliant with the minimal criteria of MSCs suggested by Domonici et al. (2006). However, some recent studies showed that ADSCs contain the subpopulation that was positive with CD34 marker – a marker of hematopoietic stem cells. This study aimed to analyze and determine the expression of CD34 marker in ten samples of ADSCs obtained from 10 donors. Methods: All ADSC samples were isolated and expanded according to the published previous protocols. They were confirmed as the MSCs with some markers and differentiation potential, excepting the CD34 expression. Then they were cultured and analyzed the expression of CD34 by flow cytometry at passage 3, 5, 7 and 9. Results: The results showed that expression of CD34 in ADSCs was different between donors and their passages that accounted from 1.21% to 23.38%. Conclusion: These results suggested that ADSCs are not ‘truly” MSCs like MSCs from bone marrow.
