Objectives: Controversial results have been reported regarding the anti-tumor properties of extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The present study was conducted to evaluate whether secretome derived from Human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWJMSCs) may stimulate or inhibit breast cancer growth and .
Materials And Methods: MTT assays was performed to determine anti-tumor effects of hWJMSCs-secretome on both MCF-7 and 4T1 tumor cells .
Several attempts have been made to identify the mechanisms by which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived secretome exert anti-tumor or tumorigenic effects, but still further investigations are needed to explore this subject. Thus, in this study we want to examine the expression of different cytokines in secretome of hWJ-MSCs and their effects on cytokine expression profile of the MCF-7 tumor cells. The hWJ-MSCs were isolated and characterized according to the International Society for Cellular Therapy criteria.

These cells will exert their effects through their secretion. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the anti-cancer effect of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal cells (UCMSC) secretome, on MCF-7 tumor cells.
