RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types. They control the process of hematopoiesis by secreting regulatory cytokines and growth factors and by the expression of important cell adhesion molecules for cell-to-cell interactions. This investigation was intended to examine the effect of bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs on the differentiation of HL-60 cells according to morphological evaluation, flow cytometry analysis, and gene expression profile. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The BM-MSCs were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). After the third passage, the BM-MSCs were irradiated at 30 Gy. To compare how the HL-60 cells differentiated in groups treated differently, HL-60 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 and supplemented with 10% FBS. The HL-60 cells were seeded into six-well culture plates and treated with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), BM-MSCs, or BM-MSCs in combination with ATRA, while one well remained as untreated HL-60 cells. The expression levels of the granulocyte subset-specific genes in the HL-60 cells were assayed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Our results revealed that BM-MSCs support the granulocytic differentiation of the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, we concluded that BM-MSCs may be an effective resource in reducing or even preventing ATRA's side effects and may promote differentiation for short medication periods. Though BM-MSCs are effective resources, more complementary studies are necessary to improve this differentiation mechanism in clinical cases.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of multipotent progenitors which have the capacity of proliferation and differentiation into mesenchymal lineage cells. Hypoxia could promote the proliferation of MSCs. Micro-RNAs are endogenous RNAs that can play an important role in some processes such as proliferation and differentiation. MiR-210 could help for better proliferation of MSCs since this miRNA could activate HIF pathway. In current study we investigated if MSCs can preserve their differentiation and proliferation ability under normoxic conditions by upregulation of miR-210. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MSCs isolated from C57 BL/6 mice by flushing it's femurs into the cell culture media. After 72 hours, MSCs which are plastic adherent cells were attached to the flask and non-adherent cells were removed. Subsequently, MSCs induced to differentiate into osteocytes and adipocytes with specific differentiation media in order to confirm their identity and multipotency. Then miR-210 was inserted in Lentiviruse vectors and affected MSCs. In each passage, the number and viability of cells were evaluated. RESULTS: Comparison between miR-210 infected MSCs with control cells showed that miR-210 has ability to increase proliferation of MSCs significantly. CONCLUSION: We showed that miR-210 has ability to induce proliferation of MSCs without any negative effect on their differentiation abilities. Further studies are needed for evaluation of probable effects of miR-210 mechanisms on MSCs proliferation.
