Supplementary Figure 3. Pancreatic CA-MSCs promote tumor growth. A. BXPC-3 (wild type KRAS) pancreatic cancer cells (5 x 104) transduced with a luciferase-expressing lentivirus were orthotopically injected alone or with same number of CAF or CA-MSC into the pancreatic tail of NOD/SCID mice (n=4 per group). Representative bioluminescent images of animals in each group are shown at 4 weeks after injection depicting tumor growth. B. Bioluminescent-based tumor growth (measured by signal intensity p/s/cm2) of luciferase tumors alone or in combination with CAFs or CA-MSCs (MSCs). Pooled results of the average tumor size {plus minus} SEM from each group. *p
