Human umbilical cord matrix mesenchymal stem cells suppress the growth of breast cancer by expression of tumor suppressor genes.
Specimen part
View SamplesHuman and rat umbilical cord matrix mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSC) possess the ability to control the growth of breast carcinoma cells. Comparative analyses of two types of UCMSC suggest that rat UCMSC-dependent growth regulation is significantly stronger than that of human UCMSC. Their different tumoricidal abilities were clarified by analyzing gene expression profiles in the two types of UCMSC. Microarray analysis revealed differential gene expression between untreated nave UCMSC and those co-cultured with species-matched breast carcinoma cells. The analyses screened 17 differentially expressed genes that are commonly detected in both human and rat UCMSC. The comparison between the two sets of gene expression profiles identified two tumor suppressor genes, adipose-differentiation related protein (ADRP) and follistatin (FST), that were specifically up-regulated in rat UCMSC, but down-regulated in human UCMSC when they were co-cultured with the corresponding species' breast carcinoma cells. Over-expression of FST, but not ADRP, in human UCMSC enhanced their ability to suppress the growth of MDA-231 cells. The growth of MDA-231 cells was also significantly lower when they were cultured in medium conditioned with FST, but not ADRP over-expressing human UCMSC. In the breast carcinoma lung metastasis model generated with MDA-231 cells, systemic treatment with FST-overexpressing human UCMSC significantly attenuated the tumor burden. These results suggest that FST may play an important role in exhibiting stronger tumoricidal ability in rat UCMSC than human UCMSC and also implies that human UCMSC can be transformed into stronger tumoricidal cells by enhancing tumor suppressor gene expression.

View SamplesWe report the application of RNA-Seq analysis to determine the transcriptional responses to Mn dose, ranging from physiological to toxicological levels in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. We find that Mn dose showed widespread effects in abundance of protein coding genes for metabolism of reactive oxygen species, energy sensing, glycolysis, protein homeostasis including the unfolded protein response and transcriptional regulation. Adaptive responses at physiological Mn concentration-10 µM Mn for 5 h, a concentration that did not result in cell death after 24 h increased abundance of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the protein secretion pathway that function in protein trafficking and cellular homeostasis.These include BET1 (Golgi vesicular membrane trafficking protein), ADAM10 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 10) and ARFGAP3 (ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase activating protein 3). In contrast, 5 h exposure to 100 µM Mn, a concentration that caused cell death after 24 h, increased abundance of DEGs for components of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation pathway. In conclusion, this study provides a framework for Mn dose dependent exposure in a human in vitro cell culture model and provides a testable hypothesis for in vivo studies. Importantly, the transcriptome responses at toxic Mn dose demonstrated patterns observed with neurological diseases and suggest that differential functions of the secretory pathway and mitochondria could provide a basis to improve detection and management of adverse environmental and occupational Mn exposures. Overall design: Examination of transcriptomic responses to Mn dose (0,1,5,10,50,100 µM MnCl2 for 5 h) in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells with three biological replicates per Mn treatment using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
