Gastric cancer-derived mesenchymal stem cells prompt gastric cancer progression through secretion of interleukin-8.

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been identified to be closely associated with tumor growth and progression. However, the roles of tumor-resident MSCs in cancer have not been thoroughly clarified. This study was to investigate the regulating effect of gastric cancer-derived MSCs (GC-MSCs) on gastric cancer and elucidate the underlying mechanism.GC-MSCs were isolated from primary human gastric cancer tissues and characterized. The effect of GC-MSCs on gastric cancer cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT assay and colony formation assay. Transwell migration assay was performed to evaluate the influence of GC-MSCs in gastric cancer cell migration. The regulating effects of interactions between gastric cancer cells and GC-MSCs on their pro-angiogenic abilities were analyzed in a co-culture system, with the expression, and secretion of pro-angiogenic factors detected by RT-PCR and Luminex assay. Tube formation assay was used to further validate the angiogenic capability of gastric cancer cells or GC-MSCs. Cytokine profiles in the supernatant of GC-MSCs were screened by Luminex assay and neutralizing antibody was used to identify the key effective cytokines. The activations of Akt and Erk1/2 in gastric caner cells were detected by Western blot.GC-MSC treatment enhanced the proliferation and migration of BGC-823 and MKN-28 cells, which was more potently than MSCs from adjacent non-cancerous tissues (GCN-MSCs) or bone marrow (BM-MSCs). Higher expression levels of pro-angiogenic factors were detected in GC-MSCs than GCN-MSCs or BM-MSCs. After 10 % GC-MSC-CM treatment, BGC-823, and MKN-28 cells expressed increased levels of pro-angiogenic factors and facilitated tube formation more potently than cancer cells alone. Furthermore, GC-MSCs produced an extremely higher level of interleukin-8 (IL-8) than GCN-MSCs or BM-MSCs. Blockade of IL-8 by neutralizing antibody significantly attenuated the tumor-promoting effect of GC-MSCs. In addition, 10 % CM of IL-8-secreted GC-MSCs induced the activations of Akt or Erk1/2 pathway in BGC-823 and MKN-28 cells.Tumor-resident GC-MSCs promote gastric cancer growth and progression more efficiently than GCN-MSCs or BM-MSCs through a considerable secretion of IL-8, which could be a possible target for gastric cancer therapy.

Project description:BackgroundOur previous study found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) promote Helicobacter pylori (H pylori)-associated gastric cancer (GC) progression by secreting thrombospondin-2 (THBS2). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important carriers for intercellular communication, and EVs secreted by BMSCs have been shown to be closely related to tumor development. The aim of this study was to investigate whether BMSC-derived microvesicles (MVs, a main type of EV) play a role in H. pylori-associated GC by transferring THBS2.MethodsBMSCs and THBS2-deficient BMSCs were treated with or without the supernatant of H. pylori for 12 h at a multiplicity of infection of 50, and their EVs were collected. Then, the effects of BMSC-derived MVs and THBS2-deficient BMSC-derived MVs on the GC cell line MGC-803 were assessed by in vitro proliferation, migration, and invasion assays. In addition, a subcutaneous xenograft tumor model, a nude mouse intraperitoneal metastasis model, and a tail vein injection metastasis model were constructed to evaluate the effects of BMSC-derived MVs and THBS2-deficient BMSC-derived MVs on GC development and metastasis in vivo.ResultsBMSC-derived MVs could be readily internalized by MGC-803 cells. BMSC-derived MVs after H. pylori treatment significantly promoted their proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro (all P < 0.05) and promoted tumor development and metastasis in a subcutaneous xenograft tumor model, a nude mouse intraperitoneal metastasis model, and a tail vein injection metastasis model in vivo (all P < 0.05). The protein expression of THBS2 was significantly upregulated after H. pylori treatment in BMSC-derived MVs (P < 0.05). Depletion of the THBS2 gene reduces the tumor-promoting ability of BMSC-MVs in an H. pylori infection microenvironment both in vitro and in vivo.ConclusionOverall, these findings indicate that MVs derived from BMSCs can promote H. pylori-associated GC development and metastasis by delivering the THBS2 protein.

Project description:Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are precursors of myofibroblasts, which play a vital role in renal fibrosis. The close interaction between MSCs and other immune cells regulates the development of multiple fibrosis-related diseases. However, the effect of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) on MSCs remains unexplored. Here, we investigated the effect of MDSCs on the myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs. Methods: MSCs were induced to undergo myofibroblastic differentiation with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1). M-MDSCs and G-MDSCs were sorted by flow cytometry. Supernatants derived from MDSCs were administered to cultured bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) undergoing TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation. Myofibroblastic differentiation was evaluated by immunostaining. The expression of fibrosis-related genes was determined by quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. In vitro, M-MDSC supernatant or M-MDSC supernatant with interleukin (IL)-15 mAbs was administered following unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to observe the myofibroblast differentiation of renal resident MSCs (RRMSCs) in a murine model. Results: Myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs was hindered when the cells were treated with MDSC-derived supernatants, especially that from M-MDSCs. The inhibitory effect of M-MDSC supernatant on the myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs was partially mediated by IL-15-Ras-Erk1/2-Smad2/3 signaling. Treatment with M-MDSC supernatant ameliorated renal fibrosis and myofibroblastic differentiation in RRMSCs through IL-15. Additionally, M-MDSC supernatant increased M-MDSC infiltration in the kidney in a mouse IRI model. M-MDSC supernatant downregulated the adhesion and migration marker CD44 on the cell membrane of MSCs via IL-15. Conclusion: M-MDSC-derived supernatant inhibited the TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs through IL-15. Our findings shed new light on the effect of MDSCs on myofibroblastic differentiation and adhesion of MSCs, which might provide a new perspective in the development of treatment strategies for renal fibrosis.
