Abstract:

BACKGROUND: How to further definite and prevent the genetic instability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in tumor microenvironment has increasingly become a key problem for its clinic application. Meanwhile, increasing studies focus on the reciprocal causation relationship between uncontrolled inflammation and tumors.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the changes of inflammation-related signaling pathways and genetic stability in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under the tumor microenvironment, and meanwhile, to investigate the influence and mechanism of “warming yang and benefiting qi” method on inflammatory signaling pathways and the genetic stability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in tumor microenvironment, based on the guidance of the traditional Chinese Medicine theories “warming yang and tonifying kidney, benefiting qi and raising yang, strengthening healthy and discarding evil to eliminate pathogens”.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed, CNKI and VIP was performed for relevant articles with the keywords of “bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, inflammatory balance, replenishing qi, warming yang, strengthening shen, elevate yang, tumor, cancer, yang can transform qi, yin shaping up body, genetic stability” in English and Chinese, respectively. Screened literatures were evaluated strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and finally 42 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Under physical and chemical induction or tumor microenvironment, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can promote tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis. In addition, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be induced to differentiate into malignant cells or tumor associating fibroblasts, followed by genetic instability, in tumor microenvironment. Inflammatory microenvironment plays an important role in regulating inflammation-related signals and genetic stability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Chinese traditional medicines functioning as “warming yang and replenishing qi” can restore the genetic stability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in tumor or chemical microenvironment, based on the guidance of the traditional Chinese Medicine theories of “warming yang and tonifying kidney, benefiting qi and raising yang, strengthening healthy and discarding evil to eliminate pathogens”.
