Mesenchymal stem cell condition medium enhanced cell viability in morphine-treated cells

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) have recently been predicted to have a major therapeutic potential due to secretion of soluble factors and the release of cytokines and growth factors, which could mediate the cellular communication to induce cell differentiation/maturity. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of mBM condition medium on morphine-induced cell death in PC12, U87, AGS and MCF-7 cell lines. The condition media were harvested as mBM soup (mBM soup 24 and mBM soup 48h, respectively). To investigate the effect of mBM soup on cell lines, morphological changes were studied with an inverted microscope, the viability of cells was determined with trypan blue staining and MTT assay, the type of cell death was determined using Hoescht / PI staining, and NO secretion analysis. Viability assay showed that mBM soup (24 and 48 h) in time-dependent manner increased cell viability (pndings suggest that mBM soup can enhance the proliferation and growth of cell lines and can suppress cell death induced by morphine (Fig. 8, Ref. 59).
