Abstract

Recent literature suggested that cells of the microenvironment of tumors could be abnormal as well. To address this hypothesis in multiple myeloma (MM), we studied bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), the only long-lived cells of the bone marrow microenvironment, by gene expression profiling and phenotypic and functional studies in three groups of individuals: patients with MM, patients with monoclonal gamopathy of undefined significance (MGUS) and healthy age-matched subjects. Gene expression profile independently classified the BMMSCs of these individuals in a normal and in an MM group. MGUS BMMSCs were interspersed between these two groups. Among the 145 distinct genes differentially expressed in MM and normal BMMSCs, 46% may account for a tumor-microenvironment cross-talk. Known soluble factors implicated in MM pathophysiologic features (i.e. IL (interleukin)-6, DKK1) were revealed and new ones were found which are involved in angiogenesis, osteogenic differentiation or tumor growth. In particular, GDF15 was found to induce dose-dependent growth of MOLP-6, a stromal cell-dependent myeloma cell line. Functionally, MM BMMSCs induced an overgrowth of MOLP-6, and their capacity to differentiate into an osteoblastic lineage was impaired. Thus, MM BMMSCs are abnormal and could create a very efficient niche to support the survival and proliferation of the myeloma cells.

  • Elevated IL-6 secretion by MSC has been detected after interaction with malignant cells in several epithelial, hematopoietic and mesenchymal cancers.

    “Secretion of elevated levels of IL-6 by MSC has been detected upon interaction with malignant cells in several epithelial, hematopoietic and mesenchymal cancers (Table 2) [43, 69, 76, 77, 82, 115–119].”

    From Mesenchymal stem cell secretome and regenerative therapy after cancer (2013) · cites this paper as [77]

    The Results and Discussion (page numbers unavailable) report that bone marrow MSCs from multiple myeloma patients secreted more IL-6 than those from healthy donors. The Discussion also describes a myeloma-cell factor that can stimulate MSC IL-6 production. This supports the hematopoietic-cancer example, but the paper does not establish the claim across epithelial and mesenchymal cancers or show that the measured increase occurred specifically after malignant-cell interaction.

  • Multiple myeloma mesenchymal stromal cells have different gene profiles from their counterparts in normal mesenchymal stromal cells.

    “Notably, MM-MSCs have different gene profiles from their counterparts in normal MSCs [289, 290].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
