Abstract

To evaluate the different traits of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) isolated from osteosarcoma (OS) and normal bone marrow (BM) induced by bone-morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). MSCs from implanted osteosarcoma or femur bone marrow were isolated and cultured. Differentiation potency was verified and phenotypes were evaluated by flow cytometry. Increased or decreased expressions of BMP-2 were delivered by adenovirus and lentivirus vector, respectively. Expressions of VEGF, EMMPRIN, and MMP-9 were examined. Cell cycle, apoptosis, invasiveness, and proliferation assays were performed between the transfected groups and controls. Increased BMP-2 induced over-expression of VEGF, EMMPRIN, and MMP-9 in OS- and BM-MSCs both intra- and extra-cellularly. Decreased BMP-2 expression induced inhibition of the factors. Increased BMP-2 also induced less population of cells at G1 phase, more apoptotic cells, more cells that invade through Transwell membrane, and faster proliferation in OSMSC compared to those in BMMSC. BMP-2 induced higher expression of tumorigenic factors, which could be responsible for promoting the proliferation and aggressiveness of OSMSC over BMMSC.
