- Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of exosomes of mesenchymal stem cells(MSC-Exos)on the proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion of esophageal cancer ECA109 cells.Methods Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were cultured,exosomes were extracted and isolated,and identified by transmission electron microscopy.The nanoparticle size determination and protein characterization(TSG101,CD63)were measured by transmission electron microscope.There were the MSC-Exo group(MSC-Exos co-cultured with esophageal cancer ECA109 cells)and the blank control group(only esophageal cancer ECA109 cells),and cells were cultured for 0,24 and 48 h,respectively.CCK-8 proliferation test and scratch test were used to detect the proliferation and migration ability of esophageal cancer EAC109 cells in each group,respectively.After 48 h of culture,cell apoptosis and cell cycle changes were detected by flow cytometry.The protein expression levels of phosphoinositol 3-kinase phosphorylation(p-PI3K),rabbit phosphorylated protein kinase B phosphorylation(p-Akt)and β-catenin were detected by Western blot assay.Results After identification,the obtained MSC-Exos meeted the required standard.Transmission electron microscopy,particle size measurement and marker protein results confirmed that the extracted exosomes of mesenchymal stem cells meeted the identification criteria.At 0 h of cell culture,there were no significant differences in cell proliferation and migration healing rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).After 24 h culture,the cell proliferation ability was lower in the MSC-Exo group than that of the blank control group(P＜0.05).After 48 h culture,the cell proliferation and migration healing rate were lower in the MSC-Exo group than those of the blank control group(P＜0.05).The apoptosis rate of the MSC-Exo group was higher than that of the blank control group,and the proportion of G2+S phase cells was lower than that of blank control group(P＜0.05).The expression levels of p-PI3K,p-Akt and β-catenin protein were significantly lower in the MSC-Exo group than those in the blank control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion MSC-Exos can inhibit the proliferation and migration of esophageal cancer cells and promote cell apoptosis.The inhibitory effect of MSC-Exos on esophageal cancer cells may be related to inhibiting the activation of PI3K and Akt protein and the down-regulating expression of β-catenin protein.
