C57MSC-CD/eGFP cells converted 5-fluorocytosine to 5-fluorouracil and exhibited significant inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis in C6 glioma cells. C57MSC-CD/eGFP cells were then implanted into rat models of brain C6 glioma. Rats were also intraperitoneally injected with 5-fluorocytosine after 7 days. MSC-CD/eGFP cells were irregularly distributed at the margin of the glioma, as well as encased and reduced the volume of the glioma. CD-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells inhibit the in vivo growth and in vitro proliferation of glioma.展开更多

In addition, we examined the tropism of these cells to glioma. Intracranial C6 glioma models were established in Sprague-Dawley rats using an intracranial stereotactic inoculation method. When tumors were 7 days old, rats were inoculated with lx106 BMSCs-CD/eGFP cells via the tumor-bearing internal carotid artery, the contralateral hemisphere and the tumor-bearing glioma. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that BMSCs-CD/eGFP exhibited a strong capacity for migration to tumors. BMSCs-CD/eGFP transplanted via the tumor-bearing intemal carotid artery were observed to distribute in glioma tissues. BMSCs-CD/eGFP inoculated via the ipsilateral glioma mainly located within and at the edge of glioma tissues. BMSCs-CD/eGFP inoculated via the contralateral hemisphere mainly distributed at the proximal end of the tumor at the incubation site.展开更多
