- Abstract: BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells can regulate the tumor microenvironment by secreting extracellular vesicles containing cytokines,growth factors and exosomes for the precise regulation of biological behavior of tumor cells. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium and their released exosomes on the biological properties of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell supernatant was collected,centrifuged and filtered at high speed to obtain human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium.Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell supernatant was collected and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes were extracted by ultra-high speed gradient centrifugation.Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes were labeled with PKH26 and co-cultured with hepatocellular carcinoma cell MHCC97-H.The uptake of exosomes by MHCC97-H cells was observed by fluorescence microscopy.The effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes on biological functions of hepatocellular carcinoma cells were assessed by the CCK-8 proliferation assay,Transwell migration and invasion assay,and the apoptosis assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes could be uptaken by MHCC97-H cells and was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm.(2)After treatment with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium,MHCC97-H cells showed a significant increase in proliferation,migration,and invasion(P<0.001,P<0.05,P<0.01),and a significant decrease in apoptosis(P<0.001),while after treatment with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes,MHCC97-H cells showed a decrease in proliferation(P<0.001)and migration,invasion,and apoptosis were significantly enhanced(P<0.001).(3)The results indicated that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium had the ability to promote the proliferation,migration,invasion,and inhibit apoptosis of MHCC97-H cells,while human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes had the properties of promoting the migration,invasion and apoptosis of MHCC97-H cells,inhibiting the proliferation.
