| Abstract | Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into various cell types, are important seed cells for stem cell therapy. MSCs exhibit potent pathotropic migratory properties that make them attractive for use in tumor prevention and therapy. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms that link MSCs to the targeted tumor cells. This study investigated the inhibitory effect and mechanism of MSCs on human hepatoma HepG$_{2}$ cells using co-culture and conditioned medium system and animal transplantation model. The HepG$_{2}$ cells were co-cultured with MSCs or treated with conditional media derived from MSCs cultures in vitro. Results of methylthiazolyldiphenyl tetrazolium assay and flow cytometric assay showed that the proliferation and apoptosis of HepG$_{2}$ cells decreased and increased, respectively. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the expression levels of bcl-2, c-Myc, β-catenin, and survivin were downregulated. The results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot proved that MSCs secreted Dkk-1 to inhibit the expression of Wnt signaling pathway-related factors (bcl-2, c-Myc, β-catenin, and survivin) in tumor cells, consequently inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of HepG$_{2}$ cells. Animal transplantation experiment showed that tumor growth was significantly inhibited when HepG$_{2}$ cells were co-injected with MSCs into nude mice. These results suggested that MSCs inhibited the growth and promoted the apoptosis of HepG$_{2}$ cells in a dose-dependent manner. This study provided a new approach and experimental basis for cancer therapy. This study also proved that the Wnt signaling pathway may have a function in MSC-mediated tumor cell inhibition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
