Abstract (original English)
Background Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are recently introduced as novel immunological gene carriers for treatment of cancer. It is believed that balance between the expression of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors, such as SDF-1 and IP-10, may regulate neovascularization within the tumor. Methods In this study, we compared the expression of important tumor promoting mediators in IP-10-transfected Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ASCs) to those transfected with SDF-1. ASCs were isolated from adipose tissue of a normal subject undergoing cosmetic mamoplasty surgery using collagenase. ASCs were transfected with IP-10 or SDF-1 propagated plasmids by electroporation method and Lipofectamin 2000. Expressions of SDF-1, CXCR4, IP-10, Bcl-2, MMP2, IL-10, IGF-1, and VEGF were detected in transfected ASCs using quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Results Results showed that the expressions of SDF-1, CXCR4, Bcl-2, MMP2, IL-10, IGF-1, and VEGF were upregulated in SDF-1-transfected ASCs. In contrast, Bcl-2 and MMP2 transcripts showed 45×10(3) and 10 fold lower expression in ASCs transfected with IP-10 compared to non-transfected cells. Conclusion Anti-angiogenic chemokines such as IP-10 may modulate tumor promoting properties of ASCs and would be introduced as novel candidates for tumor immunotherapy; however, further studies are needed to be conducted.
