Figure 1. Lewis lung tumour volumes in mouse model. Experimental group (n = 10) received caudal vein injection of 1 × 106 hucMSCs each week for consecutive two weeks. Control group (n = 10) received caudal vein injection of equal amount of saline at the same time. *p < 0.05 compared with control group at the same time point.

Experimental group (n = 10) received caudal vein injection of 1 × 106 hucMSCs each week for consecutive two weeks. Control group (n = 10) received caudal vein injection of equal amount of saline at the same time. ELISA was used to determine IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α contents in lung cancer tissues. *p < 0.05.
