In vivo evaluation of tumour angiogenesis. (A and D) Representative three-dimensional fluorescence images of mice bearing SC tumours (A) or lung tumours (D) treated or not with hMSCs, after IV injection of 50 μM Alexa700-labeled RAFT-c(−RGDfK-)4. (B and E) Box plot of fluorescence intensity, recorded as photons per pixel for a specified region of interest (ROI). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 4 to 5). (C and F) Amount of haemoglobin (Hb) quantified in subcutaneous (C) or lung (F) tumours. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD. hMSC, human mesenchymal stem cell; SC, subcutaneous; SD, standard deviation.
