Proliferative Effects of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells on Neuroblastoma Cell Lines: Are They Tumor Promoting or Tumor Inhibiting?
Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric malignancy with poor survival for high-risk disease. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have innate tumor-homing properties, enabling them to serve as a cellular delivery vehicle, but MSCs have demonstrated variable effects on tumor growth. We compared how placental MSCs (PMSCs) and bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) affect proliferation of neuroblastoma (NB) cells in vitro.
