Programming hMSCs into Potential Genetic Therapy in Cancer.

Based on their distinct characteristics, such as self-renewal and differentiation potential, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been proposed as a feasible tool for cancer therapy. The characteristic of hMSCs that can be used in cancer therapy is their ability to home to primary and metastatic tumor sites. Recent studies have shown that use of stem cells obtained from adult tissue may be a novel vehicle for stem cell-mediated cancer therapy with improved antitumor effects. Stem cells have been used as vehicles to deliver various agents to tumor sites in order to decrease the size of the tumor or increase the lifespan of the organism. Genetically modified MSCs have been shown to increase apoptosis and decrease growth and angiogenesis in solid tumors. In this review, we will focus on the potential of the genetically modified hMSC-based genetic therapy that is a combination of stem cell and gene therapy approaches and its potential advantages over current therapies.
