Human MSCs do not influence glioma growth in mice. (A) Fluc bioluminescence intensities of intraparenchymally implanted mice with Gli36-EGFRvIII-FD human glioma cells or a mix of Gli36-EGFRvIII-FD and MSC-GFP. One representative image of mice with Gli36-EGFRvIII-FD implanted with (+) or without (-) MSC-GFP is shown. (B and C) Photomicrographs on brain sections from mice 16 days after implantation shows expression of DsRed2 in glioma cells (B) and the presence of GFP-positive MSCs in mice bearing gliomas (C).
