AIM: To investigate a new anti-tumor treatment method using stem cells transfected with specific genes and proteins that induceapoptosis in tumor cells.MATERIAL and METHODS: We used glioblastoma (GBM) cells and human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) in this study. The AD-MSCs were transfected with the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Toovercome apoptosis resistance in tumor cells, we used suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) as the histone deacetylase inhibitorand embelin as the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP). In addition, we silenced the XIAP gene on GBM cells with theshXIAP plasmid. Following the determination of half-maximal effective concentration (EC50%) doses of SAHA and embelin, GBMcells were incubated with them for 24 hours. XIAP-silenced and XIAP-non-silenced GBM cells were cultured with TRAIL-nontransfected and TRAIL-transfected stem cells for 24 hours. Viability and cell cycle analysis of all groups were determined usingannexin V/propidium iodide and cell cycle method via flow cytometry.RESULTS: TRAIL-transfected AD-MSCs, XIAP silencing, embelin, and SAHA induced apoptosis in GBM cells and decreased theirproliferation, whereas TRAIL-non-tranfected AD-MSCs did not.CONCLUSION: Engineered stem cell therapies and molecular studies show promise in developing combination therapies foreffective treatment of GBM.
