简介:人的间充质的干细胞(hMSCs)装家到肿瘤地点并且禁止肿瘤细胞的生长。很少对内在的分子的机制被知道连接hMSCs到肿瘤房间的指向的抑制。在这研究,我们从hMSCs用一个动物移植模型,一个合作文化系统和调节媒介在二根人的hepatoma房间线(H7402和HepG2)上调查了hMSCs的效果。当SCID老鼠与H7402细胞和Z3hMSCs的一个相等的数字被注射时,动物移植研究证明肿瘤形成的潜伏的时间被延长并且肿瘤尺寸更小。当co有教养时与Z3房间,H7402细胞增殖减少了,增加的apoptosis,和Bcl-2的表示,c-Myc,原子抗原(PCNA)和survivin低是的增殖的房间调整了。在有调节媒介的处理源于Z3hMSC文化以后,H4702房间出现了减少的形成殖民地的能力和减少的增长。Immunoblot分析证明beta-catenin,Bcl-2,c-Myc,PCNA和survivin表示是在H7402和HepG2房间调整的down。总起来说,我们的调查结果证明hMSCs禁止H7402和HepG2人的肝癌症房间线的恶意的显型,它包括增长,形成殖民地的能力和oncogene表示试管内和体内。而且,我们的研究提供表明小径的Wnt可以在调停hMSC的指向和肿瘤房间抑制有一个角色的证据。
