Abstract Background: Tumor growth and metastasis eventuate from an interaction between cancer cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix. Recent studies demonstrated inhibitory effects of mesenchymal stem cells on breast tumors. Likewise, the emerging interest in statins as anticancer agents is based on their pleiotropic effects. In the present study, we investigated whether atorvastatin and umbilical cord matrix derived mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium alone and combined with each other affect the MCF7 cancer cells viability and interactions.Methods: We measured the viability, apoptosis, and necrosis of MCF7 by MTT assay, Annexin-V/PI staining by flow cytometry, and quantitative real-time PCR. Two-dimensional culture and hanging drop aggregation assay illustrated the morphological changes in single cancer cells and spheroid configuration respectively. We traced the MCF7 migration via scratch-wound healing and trans-well assays. Results: The results showed inhibition of cancer cell viability in all treated groups compared with the control group, but the effect of atorvastatin and conditioned medium combination was further than each one alone. Cancer cells shrinkage and chromatin condensation in the inverted light microscopy and fluorescent staining microscopy indicated apoptosis in treated cells. The annexin V/PI analysis especially in the combination-treated group displayed decreasing in DNA synthesis and cell cycle arrest. The mRNA expressions of caspases 3, 8, 9, and Bcl-2 genes were along with extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways. Conditioned medium disrupts the connections between cancer cells in the three-dimensional spheroids configuration. The migration of treated cells across the wound area and trans-well diminished, particularly in the combination-treated group. Conclusions: For the first time, the synergistic anti-proliferative and anti-motility effect of atorvastatin along with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells-derived conditioned medium on MCF7 breast cancer cells have been proved. These findings point to some new therapeutic strategies with a focus on the crosstalk between breast cancer cells and microenvironment.

AbstractObjectivesWound healing is a complex process with a sequence of restoring and inhibition events such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration as well as adhesion. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) derived conditioned medium (CM) has potent therapeutic functions and promotes cell proliferation, anti-oxidant, immunosuppressive, and anti-apoptotic effects. The main aim of this research is to study the role of human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) derived CM in stimulating the proliferation of human keratinocytes (HaCaT).MethodsFirstly, MSC were isolated from human umbilical cords (UC) and the cells were then cultured in proliferative medium. We prepared and collected the CM after 72 h. Morphological changes were observed after the treatment of HaCaT cells with CM. To validate the findings, proliferation rate, clonal efficiency and also gene expression studies were performed.ResultsIncreased proliferation rate was observed and confirmed with the expression of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) after treatment with HaCaT cells. Cell-cell strap formation was also observed when HaCaT cells were treated with CM for a period of 5–6 days which was confirmed by the increased expression of Collagen Type 1 Alpha 1 chain (Col1A1).ConclusionsOur results from present study depicts that the secretory components in the CM might play a significant role by interacting with keratinocytes to promote proliferation and migration. Thus, the CM stimulates cellular proliferation, epithelialization and migration of skin cells which might be the future promising application in wound healing.

Abstract Background and aim: Colorectal cancer (CC) is aggressive cancer and the major cause of death worldwide that need the development of novel and effective therapeutic methods. Recently suggested that the human Wharton’s jelly stem cells (hWJSCs) have an anti-proliferation activity against of several cancer cells through apoptosis induction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of conditioned medium and cell lysate of human umbilical cord hWJSCs against the HT-29 cancer cell line and mechanisms of apoptosis induction.Methods: In this study, the hWJSCs conditioned medium and cell lysate were prepared from 10 human umbilical cord samples. The effects of hWJSCs conditioned medium and cell lysate were evaluated on the viability, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of HT-29 CC cell line. The expression of apoptosis related BAX, BCL2, SMAC, SURVIVIN, and Cas9 genes were evaluated in CC cells treated with hWJSCs conditioned medium and cell lysate.Results: We observed that conditioned medium and cell lysate of hWJSCs decrease CC cells viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, conditioned medium and cell lysate increased apoptosis rate of CC cells, which can be due to increase BAX, SMAC, and Cas9 genes, as well as decrease BCL2 and SURVIVIN genes.Conclusions: Our study suggest that conditioned medium and cell lysate of hWJSCs can inhibit CC cells through induction of apoptosis. However, further studies on are required to more accurate results.

To ensure the safety of clinical applications of MSCs, thorough understanding of their impacts on tumor initiation and progression is essential. Here, to further explore the complex dialog between MSCs and tumor cells, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) were employed to be cocultured with either breast or ovarian cancer cells. Though having no obvious influence on proliferation or apoptosis, UC-MSCs exerted intense stem cell-like properties promoting effects on both cancer models. Cocultured cancer cells showed enriched side population, enhanced sphere formation ability, and upregulated pluripotency-associated stem cell markers. Human cytokine array and real-time PCR revealed a panel of MSC-derived prostemness cytokines CCL2, CXCL1, IL-8, and IL-6 which were induced upon coculturing. We further revealed IL-1β, a well-characterized proinflammatory cytokine, to be the inducer of these prostemness cytokines, which was generated from inflammatory UC-MSCs in an autocrine manner. Additionally, with introduction of IL-1RA (an IL-1 receptor antagonist) into the coculturing system, the stem cell-like characteristics promoting effects of inflammatory UC-MSCs were partially blocked. Taken together, these findings suggest that transduced inflammatory MSCs work as a major source of IL-1β in tumor microenvironment and initiate the formation of prostemness niche via regulating their secretome in an IL-1β-dependent manner.
