Abstract As a research hotspot in recent years, bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) play an important role in the process of a variety of human diseases, including cancers. However, in osteosarcoma, the role of BMSCs and their communication with tumour cells are not clear. In this study, we validated the communication of osteosarcoma (OS) cells with BMSCs. The results showed that the conditioned medium of osteosarcoma cell line U2OS (U2OS-CM) induces the carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs)-like transformation of BMSCs and promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of BMSCs. Mechanistically, treatment of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) with U2OS-CM results in a significant increase in the IL-6 expression and phosphorylation of STAT3. Furthermore, blockade of the IL-6/STAT3 signalling in hBMSCs rescues the transformation of CAF phenotype induced by U2OS-CM. And, human IL-6 can directly increase the expression of the CAF marker genes in hMSCs. Meanwhile, IL-6/STAT3 signalling involves in promoting effects of U2OS-CM on the proliferation, migration and invasion of BMSCs. In summary, our results suggest that BMSCs communicate with OS cells through IL-6/STAT3 signalling and play an important role in the progress of osteosarcoma.

The effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on cytoplasmic free CA2+ (Cai2+) and cAMP-formation were investigated in the rat osteosarcoma cell line UMR 106-01. In fura-2 loaded adherent single cells bPTH 1–34 (10 nM−1μM) induced a rapid transient increase in Cai2+ in 11% of the studied cells. In fura-2 tracings from UMR 106-01 cells in suspension, bPTH 1–34 (0.1 μM) induced a transient increase in Cai2+ in 20% of the experiments. The transient increase in Cai2+ seen in suspensions of cells was not abolished by addition of EGTA (2.5 mM) prior to challenge with PTH, suggesting that the increase in Cai2+ was derived from intracellular stores. A marked rapid increase in cAMP-formation was observed in all experiments with cells in suspension, also in the experiments where PTH did not affect Cai2+. These data show that PTH causes a release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores in a small percentage of osteosarcoma UMR 106-01 cells, and that PTH is capable of inducing an increase in cAMP-formation without affecting Cai2+ in osteoblasts.
