Multiple myeloma (MM) is a lethal B cell neoplasm characterized by clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow and remains incurable due to disease relapse and drug resistance. Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) are emerging as playing active functions that can support myeloma cell growth and survival. The aim of this study is to investigate myeloma-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) interaction and the impact of such interactions on the pathogenesis of MM using in vitro co-culture assay. Here we provide evidence that MM cell up-regulated MSCs to express PPAR-γ and pushes MSCs differentiation toward adipocytes at the expense of osteoblasts in co-culture manner. The increased BMAs can effectively enhance MM cell to proliferation, migration, and chemoresistance via cell-cell contact and/or cytokines release regulated by PPAR-γ signal pathway. This effect was partially reversed in medium containing PPAR-γ antagonist G3335 and indicated that G3335 distorts the maturation of MSC-derived adipocytes and cytokines release by adipocytes through inhibition of PPAR-γ, a key transcriptional factor for the activation of adipogenesis, or cell to cell contact, or both. In meantime, we observed higher expression of adipocyte differentiation associated genes DLK1, DGAT1, FABP4, and FASN both in MSCs and MSC derived adipocytes, but the osteoblast differentiation-associated gene ALP was down regulated in MSCs. These finding mean that direct consequence of MM/MSC interaction that play a ...
