Aim. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from human bone marrow (hBM) and adipose tissue (hAT) are perceived as attractive sources of stem cells for cell therapy. The aim of this study was to compare MSCs from hBM and hAT for their immunocytochemistry staining and resistance to in vitro apoptosis. Methods. In our study, we investigated the antiapoptotic ability of these MSCs toward oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and serum deprivation. Results were assessed by MTT and flow cytometry. All experiments were repeated a minimum of three times. Results. Flow cytometry and MTT analysis revealed that hAT-MSCs exhibited a higher resistance toward H2O2-induced apoptosis (n=3, hBM-hAT viability H2O2  58.43±1.24–73.02±1.44, P<0.02) and to serum-deprivation-induced apoptosis at days 1 and 4 than the hBM-MSCs (n=3, hAT-hBM absorbance, resp., day 1: 0.305±0.027–0.234±0.015, P=0.029, day 4: 0.355±0.003–0.318±0.007, P=0.001, and day 7: 0.400±0.017–0.356±0.008, P=0.672). hAT-MSCs showed superior tolerance to oxidative stress triggered by 2 mmol/L H2O2 and also have superior antiapoptosis capacity toward serum-free culture. Conclusion. In this study we found that hAT-MSCs are more resistant to in vitro apoptosis.

Abstract Background Abnormalities in apoptosis, cell cycle, and proliferation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) significantly impact bone metabolism and remodeling, and thereby cause various skeletal disorders. Long-term exposure to a high dosage of dexamethasone (Dex) induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which are probably the primary causes of osteoporosis (OP) and steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). However, to date, the exact mechanisms of Dex-induced apoptosis of BMSCs are still poorly defined. Methods A microarray was used to identify differentially expressed lncRNA and mRNA in Dex-induced apoptosis of hBMSCs, and bioinformatics was used to further explore the role of these differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs by the coding and noncoding (CNC) network. Furthermore, validation of the microarray results was performed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. Results The microarray analysis identified a total of 137 differentially expressed mRNA (90 up-regulated and 47 down-regulated) and 90 differentially expressed lncRNA (61 up-regulated and 29 down-regulated) in Dex-induced apoptosis of hBMSCs. The differentially expressed mRNA and lncRNA were associated with the regulation of cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, several signaling pathways involved in the regulation of cell apoptosis, including mTOR signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, and TGF-beta signaling pathway, also were identified in interaction net of the significant pathways (Path-Net) analysis. Furthermore, the CNC network further identified 78 core regulatory genes involved in the regulation of apoptosis. Besides, validation by qRT-PCR of the key differentially expressed mRNA and lncRNA, reported to be closely related to cell apoptosis, confirmed the reliability of the microarray dataset. Conclusions Collectively, we utilized microarray to identify differentially expressed lncRNA and mRNA in Dex-induced apoptotic hBMSCs, and bioinformatics to explore the interaction between the differentially expressed genes. This study demonstrates the molecular mechanisms of Dex-induced apoptosis of hBMSCs and provides a new research direction for the study of the pathogenesis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head.

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.
