Mesenchymal stem cells gene signature in high-risk myeloma bone marrow linked to suppression of distinct IGFBP2-expressing small adipocytes.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies suggest that multiple myeloma (MM) induces proliferation and expansion of bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but others showed that MM cells induce MSC senescence. To clarify the interaction between MM and MSCs, we exploited our established MSC gene signature to identify gene expression changes in myeloma MSCs and associated functional differences. Single MSCs from patients with MM had changes in expression of genes associated with cellular proliferation and senescence and a higher proportion of senescent cells and lower proliferative potential than those from age-matched healthy donors. Single MSCs from both sources heterogeneously express MSC genes associated with adipogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. We identified the gene encoding insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2), an MSC gene commonly altered in high risk MM, as under-expressed. Morphologically, IGFBP2+ cells are underrepresented in MM BM compared to smouldering MM. Strong IGFBP2 and adiponectin co-expression was detected in a subset of small adipocytes. Co-culturing normal MSCs with myeloma cells suppressed MSC differentiation to adipocytes and osteoblasts, and reduced expression of IGFBP2 and adiponectin. Recombinant IGFBP2 blocked IGF1-mediated myeloma cell growth. Our data demonstrate that myeloma MSCs are less proliferative and that IGFBP2+ small adipocytes are a distinct mesenchymal cell population suppressed by myeloma.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a lethal B cell neoplasm characterized by clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow and remains incurable due to disease relapse and drug resistance. Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) are emerging as playing active functions that can support myeloma cell growth and survival. The aim of this study is to investigate myeloma-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) interaction and the impact of such interactions on the pathogenesis of MM using in vitro co-culture assay. Here we provide evidence that MM cell up-regulated MSCs to express PPAR-γ and pushes MSCs differentiation toward adipocytes at the expense of osteoblasts in co-culture manner. The increased BMAs can effectively enhance MM cell to proliferation, migration, and chemoresistance via cell-cell contact and/or cytokines release regulated by PPAR-γ signal pathway. This effect was partially reversed in medium containing PPAR-γ antagonist G3335 and indicated that G3335 distorts the maturation of MSC-derived adipocytes and cytokines release by adipocytes through inhibition of PPAR-γ, a key transcriptional factor for the activation of adipogenesis, or cell to cell contact, or both. In meantime, we observed higher expression of adipocyte differentiation associated genes DLK1, DGAT1, FABP4, and FASN both in MSCs and MSC derived adipocytes, but the osteoblast differentiation-associated gene ALP was down regulated in MSCs. These finding mean that direct consequence of MM/MSC interaction that play a role in MM pathogenesis. Consistent with those in vitro results, our primary clinical observation also showed that bone marrow samples from MM patients had significantly higher bone adiposity in comparison with controls and the number of adipocytes decreased in those who were response to anti-MM therapy. Our finding suggested that BMAs may have an important contribution to MM progression, particularly in drugs resistant of MM cells, and plays an important contribution in MM bone disease and treatment failure, but more clinical studies are needed to confirm its role.
