Abstract

BackgroundGlioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most belligerent and prevalent brain malignancy among adults. Due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), drug administration is confronted by massive challenges, making resectional surgery the only treatment pipeline.MicroRNAs have recently absorbed the attention of studies for correlating with the progression of various malignancies. miR-30c has been reported to play a role in cell proliferation, metabolism, and apoptosis process. For instance, miR-30c has been reported to regulate apoptosis through the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). miR-30c also targets IL-6, which further induces apoptosis. Besides, miR-30c inhibits glioma proliferation and its migratory ability. Besides, the overexpression of miR-30c arrested cells at G0 as well as dampening their migration and invasion. However, it has been shown that the expression level of miR-30c was low in glioma.MSCs can migrate toward tumor cells which is called tumor-tropism, in which they are capable of delivering engineered miR-30c based on gap junction and non-intimacy mechanisms. Material and methodsMiR-30c was cloned into pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-copGFP vector utilizing XbaI and EcoRI in order to construct pCDH-miR-30c. Then psPAX2, pMD2.G, and pCDH-miR-30c were co-transfected into Hek-293T to yield lenti-miR-30c virus particles. Next, bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were Transduced with lenti-miR-30c. Thereafter, we co-cultured U-251 cell line with BM-MCSs-miR-30c and evaluated the apoptosis rate and the relative expression level of IL-6, Klf4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Oct4 using Real-Time PCR and flow cytometry. ResultsWound healing assays represented low migratory ability in U-251 cells treated with BM-MSCs-miR-30c. Plus, apoptosis assay using Annexin V/7AAD showed an increased number of apoptotic U-251 cells following the treatment. miR-30 targeted IL-6 and induced apoptosis. It also impacted on the self-renewal and the anti-apoptotic cluster of genes, namely Klf4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Oct4, to induce apoptosis and dwindle the migration and invasion.
