Co-transplantation of adipose-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) with a human PDAC cell line, inducing accelerated tumor growth and increased chemotherapy resistance. (a) Schematic illustration of the Sr-CDX model. A human PDAC cell line (Capan-1) and AD-MSCs were mixed and co-transplanted subcutaneously into the flank of immunodeficient mice. (b) The tumor growth curve and (c) excised tumor weights at day 23. Results show the mean ± SD (n = 3). *P < 0.05, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey's method. (d) The tumor growth curve with gemcitabine treatment and images of the harvested tumors at day 23. Results show the mean ± SD (n = 3). *P < 0.05, unpaired Student’s t-test. GEM, gemcitabine.
