Adult human mesenchymal stem cells enhance breast tumorigenesis and promote hormone independence

Abstract: Adult human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been shown to home to sites of breast cancer and integrate into the tumor stroma. We demonstrate here the effect of hMSCs on primary breast tumor growth and the progression of these tumors to hormone independence. Co-injection of bone marrow-derived hMSCs enhances primary tumor growth of the estrogen receptor-positive, hormone-dependent breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 in the presence or absence of estrogen in SCID/beige mice. We also show hormone-independent gro… Show more

“…The MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cell lines (human breast cancer negative for ER, PR and Her2/neu) were acquired from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured as previously described (22)(23)(24). Glyceollin mixture was isolated as previously described (22).…”

“…Some studies show tumor progression and enhancement of tumor metastatic potential by hMSC. Such tumor progression is induced by cell-cell contact as well as by the secretion of several cytokines and growth factors [Karnoub et al, 2007;Lin et al 2008;Rhodes et al, 2010]. In contrast, there are also reports of cancer inhibition and induction of apoptosis by hMSC [Khakoo et al, 2006;Zhu et al, 2009].…”

“…Ahmad et al described the importance of the microenvironmental influence of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells, including nuclear factor kappa β regulation of angiogenesis and invasion, 32 whereas Chaturvedi et al could show a hypoxia inducible factor-1α-dependent potential of mesenchymal stem cells to promote breast cancer progression and metastasis 33 as reflected by SDF-1/CXCR4 regulation. 17,34 Although adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells have been shown to have high regenerative potential and express high levels of vascular growth factors, we observed down-regulation of PDGF and Tie-2 in cancer tissue samples. Even though solid tumors and metastases developed (which depends on sufficient vascularity), interestingly, these vascular factors were not supportively up-regulated.…”
