Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have considerable therapeutic potential for the treatment of end-stage liver disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that BMSCs secrete growth factors and cytokines that inactivate hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which inhibited the progression of hepatic fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism by which BMSCs suppress the function of HSCs in fibrosis. Our results showed that co-culture of BMSCs and HSCs induced cell cycle arrest at the G10/G1 phase and cell apoptosis of HSCs, which finally inhibited the cell proliferation of HSCs. Consistent with the cell cycle arrest, co-culture of BMSCs and HSCs increased the abundance of the cell cycle protein p27. Mechanistically, we further uncovered that following the co-culture with BMSCs, the expression level of the E3 ligase S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2) that is responsible for the ubiquitination of p27 was decreased, which attenuated the ubiquitination of p27 and increased the stability of p27 in HSCs. Collectively, our results indicated the potential involvement of the SKP2–p27 axis for the inhibitory effect of BSMCs on the cell proliferation of HSCs.

miR-124 affects migration and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but its role in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in tumor microenvironment remain unclear. Therefore, our study aims to assess miR-124’s role in BMSCs in glioma microenvironment. BMSCs were isolated and co-cultured with glioma cells using Transwell chamber and then transfected with miR-124 mimic/NC followed by analysis of BMSCs biological characteristics (cell proliferation by CCK8, miR-124 level by Real-time PCR, cell cycle and apoptosis by flow cytometry, and cell migration by Transwell). There were significant differences of cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and cell cycle in BMSCs group compared to co-culture and co-culture+ miR-NC group (P < 0.05), without no difference compared to co-culture + miR-124 group. In addition, co-culture + miR-124 also showed significant differences of BMSCs' biological characteristics (P < 0.05). miR-124 can alter the biological characteristics of BMSCs in the tumor microenvironment simulated by C6 brain glioma cells.

Our study intends to assess the relationship between exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-exo) and breast cancer. BMSC-exo were isolated and characterized by transmission electron microscopy. After transfection of BMSCs with miR-204 inhibitor, breast cancer cells were incubated with BMSC-exo followed by analysis of cell proliferation by CCK-8 assay, cell apoptosis by flow cytometry, and expression of apoptosis-related protein and NF-κB signaling by western blot. The co-culture of BMSC-exo with breast cancer cells enhanced miR-204 transcription, inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. Further, BMSC-exo accelerated apoptosis as demonstrated by the increased level of Bax and casepase-3 and decreased Bcl-2 expression, as well as reduced NF-κB signaling activity. But knockdown of miR-204 abolished the effect of BMSC-exo on apoptosis and proliferation with NF-κB signaling activation. In conclusion, miR-204 from BMSC-exo restrains growth of breast cancer cell and might be a novel target for treating breast cancer.

The α-calcitonin gene-related peptide (α-CGRP) regulates bone metabolism and has potential applications in enhancing bone remodeling in vivo. However, α-CGRP's role in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation remain unclear. Rat BMSCs were separated into control group, α-CGRP group and α-CGRP siRNA group, in which BMSCs were transfected with α-CGRP plasmid and α-CGRP siRNA respectively followed by analysis of α-CGRP level by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, formation of calcified nodules by alizarin red staining, Smad1 and Smad7 level by Western blot and Runx2 by real time PCR. αCGRP transfection into BMSCs significantly up-regulated CGRP, which could promote cell proliferation, inhibit Caspase 3 activity, promote ALP activity, increase calcified nodules formation and upregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 compared to control (P < 0.05); transfection of αCGRP siRNA significantly down-regulated CGRP in BMSCs, inhibited cell proliferation, promoted Caspase 3 activity, inhibited ALP activity, inhibited calcified nodules formation and downregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 (P < 0.05). αCGRP overexpression promotes the Smad/Runx2 signaling, which in turn promotes BMSCs proliferation and osteogenesis. Decreased αCGRP level inhibits Smad/Runx2 signaling, promotes BMSCs apoptosis, inhibits proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be differentiated into different types of cells. SOX9 involves in the development and progression of various diseases. Our study aims to assess SOX9's effect on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and its related regulatory mechanisms. Rat BMSCs were isolated and randomly divided into control group, SOX9 group and SOX9 siRNA group, which was transfected with pcDNA-SOX9 plasmid or SOX9 siRNA respectively followed by analysis of SOX9 expression by Real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase3 and ALP activity, GSK-3β expression and Wntβ/Catenin Signaling pathway protein expression by Western blot, and expression of osteogenic genes Runx2 and BMP-2 by Real time PCR. Transfection of pcDNA-SOX9 plasmid into BMSCs significantly inhibited cell proliferation, promoted Caspase3 activity, decreased ALP activity and downregulated Runx2 and BMP-2, increased GSK-3β expression and decreased Wntβ/Catenin expression protein expression (P< 0.05). SOX9 siRNA transfection significantly promoted cell proliferation, inhibited Caspase3 activity, increased ALP activity and upregulated Runx2 and BMP-2, downregulated GSK-3β and increased Wntβ/Catenin expression. SOX9 regulates BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through Wntβ/Catenin signaling pathway.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be used to treat bone defects. The neuropeptide substance P (SP) plays an important role in a variety of life activities. However, the effect of SP on BMSCs differentiation in high glucose environment remains unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group; high glucose group; and SP group. The secretion of SP was detected by ELISA; cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay; apoptosis activity was detected by Cas-pase3 activity kit. Real time PCR was performed to measure Bax and Bcl-2 expression. Alizarin red staining was to detect calcified nodule formation. Western blot was done to measure AMPK/mTOR signaling protein expression. In high glucose environment, SP secretion was significantly decreased, along with increased cell proliferation, Caspase3 activity and Bax expression. Meanwhile, Bcl-2 expression, ALP activity and calcified nodules formation was significantly decreased with reduced AMPK phosphorylation and increased mTOR expression (P < 0.05). SP addition in high glucose environment significantly promoted SP secretion and cell proliferation, decreased Caspase3 activity and Bax expression, increased Bcl-2 expression, ALP activity and calcification nodules formation with increased AMPK phosphorylation and decreased mTOR expression (P < 0.05). In high glucose environment, SP secretion is decreased in BMSCs. Up-regulation of SP in BMSCs cells in high glucose environment inhibit the apoptosis of BMSCs and promote cell proliferation and osteogenesis by regulating AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.

In the present study, we demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) of the 3rd passage displayed the senescence-associated phenotypes characterized with increased activity of SA-β-gal, altered autophagy, and increased G1 cell cycle arrest, ROS production, and expression of p53 andp21Cip1/Waf1compared with BMSCs of the 1st passage. Cholesterol (CH) reduced the number of SA-β-gal positive cells in a dose-dependent manner in aging BMSCs induced by H2O2and the 3rd passage BMSCs. Moreover, CH inhibited the production of ROS and expression of p53 andp21Cip1/Waf1in both cellular senescence models and decreased the percentage of BMSCs in G1 cell cycle in the 3rd passage BMSCs. CH prevented the increase in SA-β-gal positive cells induced by RITA (reactivation of p53 and induction of tumor cell apoptosis, a p53 activator) or 3-MA (3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor). Our results indicate that CH not only is a structural component of cell membrane but also functionally contributes to regulating cellular senescence by modulating cell cycle, autophagy, and the ROS/p53/p21Cip1/Waf1signaling pathway.

Abstract Background: Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem (MSCs) cells are undifferentiated cells with the self-renewing ability and multi-lineage differentiation beneficial for regenerative medicine. Nano scaffolds are novel materials employed in bone repair and regeneration. Nisin is a prebiotic that can increase stem cells’ life span and proliferation. This study attempted to provide a proper strategy for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into the Osteocytes on a Poly‐L‐lactic‐acid scaffold (PLLA) after pretreating with probiotic Nisin. Methods: MSC osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring Calcium, Alkaline phosphatase, and quantitative tests such as Real-Time PCR, Acridine Orange, Alizarin Red, Von Kossa, and others. Results: The result of the MTT test showed that the optimal dose of Nisin probiotic for the MSCs’ preconditioning was 200 IU/mL on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days of culture. Real-time PCR data indicated that the expression rate of ALP, Osteonectin, Osteocalcin, and Collagen I have increased in the presence of Nisin, while the RUNX-2 gene expression has decreased. Furthermore, the results of Alizarin Red and Von Kossa tests, as well as Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealed that the cell proliferation in the preconditioned samples with Nisin increased significantly. Conclusions: The study concluded that the cell proliferation and differentiation increased in samples pretreated with Nisin on the PLLA Nano scaffolds.
