Abstract

Background and objective: Treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a major challenge with only 30% 5-year survival rate. The outcome of the different therapeutic modalities is still poor, and there is an urgency to find new treatment lines. The effect of mesenchymal stem cells on different tumors is greatly variable. The present work shows the effect of cord blood mesenchymal stem cells conditioned media (MSC CM) in different concentrations on epithelial ovarian cancer stem cells (CD44+ cells) in vitro. Methodology: Ovarian cancer stem cells were subjected to MSC CM of (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%) concentrations for 72 hours followed by investigation of cell morphology, proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and expression of certain genes (Oct-4, Sox-2, and Nanog). Results: Cell shrinkage and cell debris was observed with all cancer cell lines by contrast with control. MTT assay showed a reduction in proliferation, in a concentration-dependent manner. The annexin-v results demonstrated a significant early and late apoptosis. There was an increase in the sub-G1 phase of the cell cycles indicating apoptosis. There was a progressive suppression of embryonic stemness genes in all cell lines compared to control. Conclusion: Based on these results, it was concluded that MSC CM may be a potential ovarian cancer inhibitor that may create a new modalities of treatment in ovarian cancer patients. Maher E.
