However, the functional heterogeneity of cells derived from different tissues has hampered providing definitive phenotypic markers for these cells. Objective: To characterize and compare the phenotype and cytokines of adipose derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) and tumoral-MSCs (T-MSCs) isolated from mammary tumors of BALB/c mice. Methods: Immunophenotyping and in vitro differentiation tests were used for MSC characterization. Cytokine and enzyme profiles were assessed using ELISA and Realtime PCR, respectively. Results: T-MSCs expressed significantly higher levels of HLADR (p=0.04). Higher levels of PGE2 and COX-2 enzyme were also observed in TMSCs (p=0.07 and p=0.00, respectively). Additionally, T-MSCs expressed higher levels of iNOS and MMP9 (p=0.01 and p=0.01, respectively). T-MSCs were also able to induce higher levels of proliferation and migration of HUVEC endothelial cells in wound scratch assay compared to AD-MSCs (p=0.015). Conclusion: Functional differences showed by the surface markers of MSCs, cytokine and enzyme production indicate the effect of different microenvironments on MSCs phenotype and function.}, keywords = {Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells,Breast cancer,Immunomodulatory Properties,Tumoral-MSCs}, url = {https://iji.sums.ac.ir/article_16752.html}, eprint = {https://iji.sums.ac.ir/article_16752_d84d806bc2cd96fa325eb07adc3d33a6.pdf} }
