Popis: AIM: Cancer breast is one of the most common cancer in women leading to death; that is why we are in urgent need to develop new modalities of treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have an anti-inflammatory effect due to capability to regenerate the damaged tissues. METHODS: MCF7 breast cancer cells were divided into two groups; group 1: untreated cancer cells, group 2: cancer cell cocultured with MSCs; after 24 incubation the cells from the two groups were collected to assess cell proliferation, Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and genes expression of Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-KB), FOXO, and LncRNA AF085935. RESULTS: Statistically significant decrease in cancer cell proliferation and all other studied parameters in cancer cells after coculture with MSCs. CONCLUSION: Breast carcinoma once initiated; it runs in a vicious circle due to stimulation of FOXO/LncRNA AF085935 axis by the inflammatory mediators released from cancer environment. FOXO/LncRNA AF085935 induces cancer proliferation and survival; furthermore, FOXO once induced, it produces further induction of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and NF-KB and so on, MSCs due to its anti-inflammatory role could break this circle and thus inhibit cancer cell proliferation.
