The clinical application of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) has generated a great deal of interest because of their potential use in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. However, safety concerns over hBM-MSCs limit their clinical application. In this study, we observed that hBM-MSC-conditioned medium (hBM-MSC-CM) promotes gastric cancer development via upregulation of c-Myc. Our results showed that c-Myc was upregulated in MGC-803 and BGC-823 cells after hBM-MSC-CM treatment. Moreover, we found that the c-Myc inhibitor JQ1 and c-Myc siRNA decreased the expression of c-Myc in hBM-MSC-CM-treated tumor cells in vitro. Additionally, hBM-MSC-CM enhanced the migration and glucose uptake of gastric cancer cells. In vivo studies showed that JQ1 inhibited hBM-MSC-CM-induced gastric cancer growth. These results indicated that hBM-MSC-CM induced gastric cancer growth via upregulation of c-Myc, which may be a potential risk factor and/or a therapeutic target for clinical applications.

Abstract Background As one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, osteoporosis occurs especially in postmenopausal women. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging as major drivers in human disease. The aim of the present study was to analyse circRNA expression profiles in osteoporosis and to explore the clinical significance and the regulatory molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0006859 during osteoporosis. Methods Exosomes were isolated from clinically collected serum samples. A circRNA microarray was performed to screen differentially expressed circRNAs. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot were performed to analyse target gene mRNA expression and protein expression. Alizarin red staining (ARS) was performed to evaluate the mineralization ability of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Oil Red O staining was performed to evaluate the lipid droplet formation ability of hBMSCs. Bioinformatics analysis and the luciferase reporter assay were performed to investigate the interaction between two genes. Results Hsa_circ_0006859 was identified as one of the most upregulated circRNAs in the microarray analysis. Hsa_circ_0006859 in exosomes was upregulated in osteoporosis patients compared to healthy controls. Hsa_circ_0006859 differentiated osteopenia or osteoporosis patients from healthy controls with high sensitivity and specificity. Hsa_circ_0006859 suppressed osteoblastic differentiation and promoted adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Hsa_circ_0006859 directly bound to miR-431-5p, and ROCK1 was identified as a novel target gene of miR-431-5p. Hsa_circ_0006859 is a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-431-5p that promotes ROCK1 expression. Hsa_circ_0006859 suppressed osteogenesis and promoted adipogenesis by sponging miR-431-5p to upregulate ROCK1. Conclusions Exosomal hsa_circ_0006859 is a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis and controls the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis in hBMSCs by sponging miR-431-5p.
