Fig. 5From: Mesenchymal stem cells show functional defect and decreased anti-cancer effect after exposure to chemotherapeutic drugsFGF2 increased the survival of leukemia cells during chemotherapeutic drug treatment. a THP1 leukemia cells were treated with DAU (50 nM) for 4 days in the presence (+FGF2) or absence (CON) of FGF2 (10 ng/ml). Percentage of live and dead cells was analyzed by annexin-V and PI staining. Values are mean ± SE, n = 3 samples. b Representative flow cytometric plots showing the live cell percentage for the plots shown in (a). *p < 0.05Back to article page
