Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that biological signals such as growth factors and cytokines released from tumor cells can make mesenchymal stem cells migrate into tumor tissues, and then these cells differentiate into various stromal cells constituting a microenvironment to participate in the regulation of tumor cells.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of human esophageal cancer mesenchymal stem cells (hEC-MSCs) on the proliferation and cell cycle of human esophageal carcinoma cell line EC109.
METHODS: After isolation and purification, hEC-MSCs at 1×104, 2×104, 3×104, 4×104 were co-cultured with  EC109 cells, respectively. MTT method and flow cytometry were used to measure cell proliferation and cell cycle of EC109 cells, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increased number from 1×104 to 4×104 and increased exposure time from 24 to 72 hours, hEC-MSCs inhibited the proliferation of EC109 cells, and the survival rate of EC109cells was decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Cell cycle analysis revealed a marked increase in the EC-109 G1 phase and a decrease in the EC-109 G2 phase in a number-dependent manner. To conclude, hEC-MSCs inhibit the proliferation of EC109 cells and vary the cell cycle in number- and time-dependent manners.
