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.

Abstract Bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins are recognized acetylated lysine of histone 4 and act as scaffolds to recruit many other proteins to promoters and at enhancers of active genes, especially at the super-enhancers of key genes, driving the transcription process and have been identified as potential therapeutic targets in breast cancer. However, the efficacy of BET inhibitors such as JQ1 in breast cancer therapy is impeded by IL-6 through an as yet defined mechanism. We investigated the interplay between IL-6 and JQ1 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Here we demonstrate that the efficacy of JQ1 on the inhibition of cell growth and apoptosis was stronger in MDA-MB-231 cells than in MCF-7 cells. Further, MCF-7 cells, but not MDA-MB-231 cells, exhibited increased expression of CXCR4 following IL-6 treatment. JQ1 significantly reduced CXCR4 surface expression in both cell lines and diminished the effects of IL-6 pre-treatment on MCF-7 cells. While IL-6 suppressed the extension of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) in MCF-7 cells, JQ1 impeded its inhibitory effect. In addition, in MCF-7 cells JQ1 increased the number of senescent cells in a time-dependent manner. Analysis of gene expression indicated that JQ1 and IL-6 synergistically increase SNAIL expression and decrease c-MYC expression in MCF-7 cells. So, the BET proteins are promising, novel therapeutic targets in late-stage breast cancers.
