Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Mouse Adipose Tissue Stimulate Tumor Growth

We studied the effect of mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow and adipose tissue on the growth rate of melanoma B16 and mammary adenocarcinoma Ca755 tumors after their co-administration with tumor cells to syngeneic mice. Stimulation of tumor growth and formation of melanoma metastases in the lungs was found under the influence of adipose tissue-derived, but not bone marrow-derived stem cells. At delayed terms after irradiation in...
