Il-6 Released From Bmscs Suppresses Cytotoxic Effect Of Ara-C And Il-6 Mediated Signaling Enhances Re-Growing Of Hel Cells Following Ara-C Treatment

Various factors released from BMSCs regulate the biologic behaviors of AML cells involving in responsiveness of chemotherapeutic treatment. Cytotoxic effect of Ara-C decreased when AML cells co-cultured with BMSCs. expression was prominently increased when HEL cells were co-cultured with BMSCs. Even though did not affect the growth of HEL cells, Ara-c mediated apoptosis was suppressed by BMSCs. Also, induced the phosphorylation of AKT and its downstream gene (mTOR). Ara-C mediated H2AX mRNA was suppressed when Ara-C was treated with co-cultured HEL cells with BMSCs. Also, its expression was down-regulated in HEL cells co-treated with Ara-C plus 25 nM IL-6. Prevention of mediated signaling by gp130 shDNA slightly suppressed Ara-C induced H2AX expression when gp130 shDNA transfected HEL cells were co-cultured with BMSCs under 10-6 M Ara-C treatment. In vivo model, we found that expression levels in serum of mice detecting AML cells following Ara-C treatment were higher than in serum of mice not detecting residual AML cells. Even though somatic mutation of gp130 gene was not detected in the genome analysis of AML, the overall survival was statistically different depending on the levels in serum of bone marrow. Our findings suggest that releasing from BMSCs help AML cells to survive against Ara-C treatment resulting in developing relapase from enhancing the growth of minimal residual 1.][1] Figure 1.
