Ad-MSC did not increase adhesion of ESCcyst. A transwell system using Ad-MSC and conditioned medium (Cond) from allogeneic Ad-MSC were used in coculture with ESCendo or ESCcyst. Adhesion of ESCendo and ESCcyst on fibronectin was determined by quantifying the number of adherent cells using the MTT assay. The transwell system increased adhesion of ESCendo (), and conditioned medium reduced adhesion of ESCcyst (). The data was normalized to untreated controls for each cell type. Five independent experiments ( biological replicates) were carried out in duplicates (mean ± SD).
