Abstract (original English)
Tissue engineering approaches offer alternative strategies for urinary diversion after radical cystectomy. Possible triggering of cancer recurrence remains, however, a significant concern in the application of stem-cell based therapies for oncological patients. Soluble mediators secreted by stem cells induce tissue remodelling effects, but may also promote cancer cells growth and metastasis. We observed a substantial increase in the concentration of IL-6 and IL-8 in the secretome of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) co-cultured with bladder cancer cells. Concentrations of GM-CSF, MCP-1 and RANTES were also elevated. Bioactive molecules produced by ASCs increased the viability of 5637 and HT-1376 cells by respectively 15.4% and 10.4% (p < 0.0001). A trend in reduction of adhesion to ECM components was also noted, even though no differences in β-catenin expression were detected. When HT-1376 cells were co-cultured with ASCs their migration and invasion increased by 24.5% (p < 0.0002) and 18.2% (p < 0.002). Expression of p-ERK1/2 increased in 5637 cells (2.2-fold; p < 0.001) and p-AKT in HB-CLS-1 cells (2.0-fold; p < 0.001). Our results confirm that ASCs crosstalk with bladder cancer cells in vitro what influences their proliferation and invasive properties. Since ASCs tropism to tumour microenvironment is well documented their application towards post-oncologic reconstruction sho
