  1. GUSB was used as the referring housekeeping-gene. Except for E- and N-Cadherin only changes of 2.5-fold or higher are displayed. Part 1 displays the changes in the gene expression levels of ADSCs. Part 2 shows the changes in the gene expression levels of pSCCs. Arrows mark an up- (↑) or down-regulation (↓) of the gene expression compared to the referring mono-culture. Abbreviations of main impact: a, angiogenesis; i, invasion; im, impaired anti-tumor response; m, migration; ms, metastasis; p, proliferation.
