NADHhigh and NADHlow glioma cell subpopulations can be sorted according to their intensity of NADH autofluorescence. a The intensity of NADH autofluorescence increased with WHO grades in primary glioma cells. Also, the intensity of NADH autofluorescence in patients within same grade II (n = 4) or III (n = 3) was similar, but major difference in grade IV (n = 6) patients was observed. b Glioma cells with the highest top 10% and lowest bottom 10% intensity of NADH autofluorescence were defined as NADHhigh and NADHlow, respectively. c The intensity of NADH autofluorescence in sorted NADHhigh and NADHlow glioma cells was verified by confocal microscopy. All data are presented as the means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 (n = 3 independent experiments)
