The influence of BM-MSC medium on the growth and invasion of xenografts in subcutaneously injected mice. (a) The volume of subcutaneous xenografts was smaller following BM-MSC-conditioned medium treatment, . (b) H&E staining from the BM-MSC-conditioned medium treatment group showed an increased invasive tendency than that of the C6 group. Furthermore, the A3-3 group showed the highest invasiveness (100x, 200x, and 400x magnification). (c) IHC also indicated that the expression of nestin and MMP-9 were increased by BM-MSC-conditioned medium treatment, , . Original magnification 400x.
