Luciferase reporter expression can be stable in prostate and breast cancer cells populations. (a) Prostate cancer cell lines (PC3 and C4-2B) and (b) breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) cells were transduced by lentiviral particles to express luciferase driven by CMV2, MSCV or EF1a promoters. The bioluminescence was measured at the indicated time points of mono-cultures and co-cultures with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSC) and normalized to the corresponding values at time point zero. Three independent experiments each had four technical replicate cultures (n = 3) were performed.
