Article Abstract
Objective: To construct a co-culture system for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) and multiple myeloma (MM) cells, and to investigate the effects of co-cultured BMMSC on the migrating and homing of multiple myeloma cells.
Methods: The BMMSC from the transgenic mice with green fluorescent protein (GFP) fetal bone were cultured by adherent screening. A co-culture system of BMMSC and MM cell line XG-7 cells was constracted, the proliferation and apoptosis of cells were determined by trypan blue exclusion and Annexin V/PI, respectively, MDC staining was employed to detect the autophagy. The moving direction distribution of molecule in BMMSC and XG-7 cells labeled with PE-CD138 in co-culture process were observed dinamically by confocal microscopy.
Results: After co-culture with GFP-BMMSC, the resistance of XG-7 cells to apoptosis and autophagy were enhanced; at the same time, their proliferation increased. Apoptosis rates of XG-7 cells directly and indirectly co-cultured with BMMSC were (6.23 ± 0.12)% and (6.97 ± 0.03)% respectively, which were lower than that of XG-7 cells cultured alone (17.90 ± 1.46)% (P < 0. 01). There was low level of autophagy in XG-7 cells co-cultured with BMMSC. XG-7 cells are highly polarized and contained a specialized membrane domain with specific protein and lipid components to contact with BMMSC under confocal microscope. After methyl-β-cyclodextrin treatment, the molecules were normally enriched in the specialized domain.
Conclusion: BMMSC can protect XG-7 cells from apoptosis and autophagy, and obviously promote the proliferation of XG-7 cells, and can influence the migrating and homing of multiple myeloma cells.

Afuresertib (AFU), a novel inhibitor of the serine/threonine kinase AKT, has clinical efficacy as a monotherapy against hematological malignancies and is expected to be used in combination with standard therapies for multiple myeloma (MM). To develop a more effective and less toxic combination of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) for therapy, the antitumor effect of sub-optimal doses of AFU, pomalidomide plus dexamethasone (PD), and the AFU-PD combination on MM cells were examined in the present study. Two MM cell lines, XG-7 and U266, with low sensitivity to both PD and AFU monotherapies, were subjected to these combinations and analyzed.

According to the three-dimensional (3D) complex structure of (hIL-6⋅hIL-6R⋅gp 130) and the binding orientation of hIL-6, three compounds with high affinity to hIL-6R and bioactivity to block hIL-6 in vitro were screened theoretically from the chemical databases, including 3D-Available Chemicals Directory (ACD) and MDL Drug Data Report (MDDR), by means of the computer-guided virtual screening method. Using distance geometry, molecular modeling and molecular dynamics trajectory analysis methods, the binding mode and binding energy of the three compounds were evaluated theoretically. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis demonstrated that all the three compounds could block IL-6 binding to IL-6R specifically.

Objective: To construct a co- culture system of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and multiple myeloma (MM) cells and investigate the alterations of connexin 43 (CX43) expression and stromal derived growth factor (SDF)- 1α secretion of MSC.
Methods: CX43 expression and SDF- 1α secretion of MM cell lines (RPMI8226) and human primary MM cells were analyzed by western blot and immunofluorescence. Western blot, RT- PCR and immunofluorescence were employed to detect the alterations of CX43 expression and distribution in MSC directly and indirectly co-cultured with myeloma cells.
