Abstract:

BACKGROUND: An intensive study on ovarian cancer A2780 cells contributes to modify treatment strategies targeting ovarian cancer stem cells and enhance survival rate of ovarian cancer patients.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) transplantation combined with paclitaxel on proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion of A2780 human ovarian cancer cells in vitro.
METHODS: A2780 human ovarian cancer cells were assigned into three groups: blank control group (routine cell culture), UC-MSCs group (addition of suspension containing 1×106 UC-MSCs) and combined treatment group (combined addition of suspension containing 1×106 UC-MSCs and 250 μL of 1 μmol/L paclitaxel solution). CD133+ antigen expression, proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion were determined by immunofluorescent staining, flow cytometry, TUNEL staining, and Transwell chamber invasion assay, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSON: CD133+ antigen expression in the UC-MSCs group and combined treatment group was significantly decreased compared with the blank control group (P < 0.05). Proliferation and invasion abilities were significantly decreased, while apoptosis cell number was significantly increased in the combined treatment group compared with the other two groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the combined treatment of UC-MSCs transplantation and paclitaxel can inhibit proliferation and invasion and promote apoptosis of A2780 human ovarian cancer cells.
