In vitro and in vivo growth U-251 clones. (A) Growth curves of U-251MG in MEM, U-251MG in DMEM, U-251-4q12, U-251N, and U251-FGA20gain. (B) BrdU incorporation shows various distributions of the S-phase cells. One representative figure is shown, while numbers are the mean from three replicate analyses. (C) Examples of variation in colony formation obtained by U-251MG (left), U-251-4q12 (middle left), U-251N (middle right), and U-251-FGA20gain (right). Single colonies are shown as insets with scale bars = 100 μm. (D) Survival of clonogenic colonies after irradiation at 2, 5, and 10 Gy. U-251-4q12, U-251N, and U-251-FGA20gain. (E) Kaplan-Meier survival curves after intracranial implantation of the U-251 subclones in NOD/SCID mice.
