Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Ovarian Cancer Cell Proliferation via Cytokine Interactions.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are key players in promoting ovarian cancer cell proliferation, orchestrated by the dynamic interplay between cytokines and their interactions with immune cells; however, the intricate crosstalk among BMSCs and cytokines has not yet been elucidated. Here, we aimed to investigate interactions between BMSCs and ovarian cancer cells. We established BMSCs with a characterized morphology, surface marker expression, and tri-lineage differentiation potential. Ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3) cultured with conditioned medium from BMSCs showed increased migration, invasion, and colony formation, indicating the role of the tumor microenvironment in influencing cancer cell behavior. BMSCs promoted SKOV3 tumorigenesis in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency mice, increasing tumor growth. The co-injection of BMSCs increased the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and GSK-3β in SKOV3 tumors. Co-culturing SKOV3 cells with BMSCs led to an increase in the expression of cytokines, especially MCP-1 and IL-6. These findings highlight the influence of BMSCs on ovarian cancer cell behavior and the potential involvement of specific cytokines in mediating these effects. Understanding these mechanisms will highlight potential therapeutic avenues that may halt ovarian cancer progression.
