Abstract

Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are important cell population located in bone marrow that are thought to have multiple functions in cell transplantation and gene therapy. Although in vitro experiments have demonstrated that hMSCs are resistant to apoptosis induction by DNA damage agents such as chemotherapeutic substances used in bone marrow transplantation, the molecular mechanism underlying remains unclear. p73 is highly similar to p53 and plays crucial roles in regulating DNA damage-induced apoptosis pathways. In this study, we investigated the role of p73 alpha in response to chemotherapeutic substances in cultured human bone marrow MSCs. Cellular chemosensitivity and DNA damage-induced apoptotic cell death were examined in the hMSCs with exogenously over-expressed p73 alpha. Our results showed that the expression of retrovirus-driven human p73 alpha could be successfully induced in hMSCs, the over-expression of ectopic p73 alpha resulted in a significant increase of cellular sensitivity to cisplatin. The increase of cellular apoptosis was attributed to enhanced chemosensitivity in p73 alpha infected cells. Moreover, immunoblot analysis indicated that the co-activation of pro-apoptotic factors Bax and p21 we...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
