Objective: To determine the effect of conditioned medium human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (CM-hADMSC) on apoptosis of urothelial bladder cancer cells. Material & Methods: Bladder (5637) cancer cell lines cultured in conditioned media harvested from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSC). Flow cytometry tests were carried out using the Flowcytometry Acquisition cell sorting (FACS) Calibur to measure apoptosis. Results: There was a significant difference in the percentage of late apoptosis in the group receiving culture medium treatment: CM-hADMSC 1: 1 to the entire study group. Further analysis revealed no difference in the average percentage of late apoptosis in groups exposed to culture medium: CM-hADMSC 1: 2 and culture medium: CM-hADMSC 1: 4 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: CM-hADMSC at a 1: 1 dose concentration to culture medium obtain a significant increase of apoptosis in bladder cancer cells.

Conditioned medium (CM) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) contains bioactive molecules including microRNAs (miRs) that could be a potential tool for controlling cancer cells' behavior. Due to the properties of CM, this study assesses the effects of miR-34a related MSCCM on tumor behavior through the evaluation of migration, invasion, apoptosis, and PDL1 expression in breast cancer cell lines. The miR-34a overexpression vector or scramble control was produced using lentiviral vectors, DNA cloning, and the transfection of the HEK-293 T cell line. It was then transduced into human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs). MSC-CMs were collected and added onto MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The functional evaluations were performed by transwell, wound healing, and Annexin V/PI methods on the treated MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The PDL1 expression was also assessed by Real-time PCR and western blot. The findings of this study showed that ectopic miR-34a expression was significantly upregulated in manipulated hASC with miR-34a (p<0.0001). Treatment of MDA-MB-231 cell line with miR-34a-hAD-MSC-CM, scramble-hAD-MSC-CM, or hAD-MSC-CM displayed not only a reduction in the number of migrated or invaded cells (p=0.01) but also an increase in the apoptotic cells in the test group (p=0.02) when compared to the control groups. It also showed down-regulation in the gene (p=0.05) and protein expression levels of PDL1 in the test group. The results of the present study showed that simultaneous application of miR-34a and MSCCM can be considered as a new method for changing the cancerous microenvironment; and therefore, as a potential strategy in breast cancer therapy.

Background: The umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium (UC-MSCs-CM) produces secretomes with anti-apoptotic properties, and has the potential to prevent apoptosis of granulosa cells (GC) during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Objective: To observe the effect of UC-MSCs-CM on the interaction between pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins and the influence of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) production in GC. Materials and Methods: UC-MSCs-CM was collected from umbilical cord stem cell culture on passage 4. GC from 23 women who underwent in vitro fertilization were cultured and exposed to UC-MSCs-CM for 24 hr. Then RNA of the GC was extracted and the mRNA expression of BCL-2 associated X (BAX), survivin and GDF9 were analysed using quantitative real-time PCR. The spent culture media of the GC were collected for measurement of insulin growth factor 1 using ELISA. Results: The expression of BAX was significantly different after UC-MSCs-CM exposure (4.09E-7 vs. 3.74E-7, p = 0.02). No significant changes occurred in survivin, BAX/survivin ratio, and GDF9 expression after UC-MSCs-CM exposure (p > 0.05). The IGF-1 level of the CM was significantly higher after the CM was used as a culture medium for GC (2.28 vs. 3.07 ± 1.72, p ≤ 0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between survivin and GDF9 (r = 0.966, p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: IGF-1 produced by UC-MSCs-CM can work in paracrine fashion through the IGF receptor, which can inhibit BAX and maintain GDF9 production. Moreover, under the influence of UC-MSCs-CM, GC are also capable of producing IGF-1, which can impact GC through autocrine processes. Key words: Conditioned medium, BAX, Survivin, GDF9, IGF-1.

About 60-80 million couples in the world are suffering from infertility disease. Infertility is a major problem in patients coping with chemotherapy. The chemotherapy process can degenerate non-target organs, especially in testes. Infertility in male or testicular dysfunction is caused by the failure of proliferation and differentiation of the spermatogenic cells. Many studies reported that mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium promoted regenerative processes. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium on the cisplatin-induced testicular dysfunction by examining the immunolocalization of steroidogenic enzymes, such as 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and P450scc which are considered as markers of steroid production. All experimental animals were divided into three groups, namely the control group, mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium treated group with an injection dose of 0.2 ml/kg body weight (BW, P1), and mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium treated group with an injection dose of 0.5 ml/kg BW (P2). Cisplatin was injected into both treated groups to induce testicular dysfunction. The testicular tissues were processed by the paraffin method, then cut to a thickness of 5 µm, followed by immunohistochemical staining. The HSD3B1 immunoreactivities were found only in Leydig cells, and the intensity increased every week after the injection of mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium. The variety of weeks and groups was significantly different in the number of immunoreactive cells of HSD3B1. The results indicated a significant difference between one week after the first injection and the one week after the third and fourth injection. The findings showed a significant difference between the treated group with an injection dose of 0.2 ml/kg BW and the control group. The number of immunoreactive cells of HSD3B1 with an injection dose of 0.5 ml/kg BW was greater compared to the group that received an injection dose of 0.2 ml/kg BW. The intensity of HSD3B1 and HSD17B1 increased every week. The p450scc immunoreactive cells were only found in Leydig cells. The intensity of positive cells of p450scc in the treated group with an injection dose of 0.5 ml/kg BW was more intense, compared to the treated group with an injection dose of 0.2 ml/kg BW. The results of the current study showed that the injection of mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium can improve the regeneration of spermatogenic cells, and recover spermatogenesis proved by positive cells of HSD3B1, HSD17B1, and p450scc as markers of steroid production.

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.
