Dependence of human stem cell engraftment and repopulation of NOD/SCID mice on CXCR4.

چکیده
Stem cell homing and repopulation are not well understood. The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 were found to be critical for murine bone marrow engraftment by human severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) repopulating stem cells. Treatment of human cells with antibodies to CXCR4 prevented engraftment. In vitro CXCR4-dependent migration to SDF-1 of CD34+CD38-/low cells correlated with in vivo engraftment and stem cell function. Stem cell factor and interleukin-6 induced CXCR4 expression on CD34+ cells, which potentiated migration to SDF-1 and engraftment in primary and secondary transplanted mice. Thus, up-regulation of CXCR4 expression may be useful for improving engraftment of repopulating stem cells in clinical transplantation.

Human CD34(+)CXCR4(-) sorted cells harbor intracellular CXCR4, which can be functionally expressed and provide NOD/SCID repopulation.
Homing and repopulation of nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice by enriched human CD34(+) stem cells from cord blood, bone marrow, or mobilized peripheral blood are dependent on stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/CXCR4 interactions. Recently, human cord and fetal blood CD34(+)CD38(-)CXCR4(-) and CXCR4(+) cells, sorted with neutralizing anti-CXCR4 monoclonal antib...
متن کاملOverexpression of CXCR4 on human CD34+ progenitors increases their proliferation, migration, and NOD/SCID repopulation.
A major limitation to clinical stem cell-mediated gene therapy protocols is the low levels of engraftment by transduced progenitors. We report that CXCR4 overexpression on human CD34+ progenitors using a lentiviral gene transfer technique helped navigate these cells to the murine bone marrow and spleen in response to stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) signaling. Cells overexpressing CXCR4 exhibit...
متن کاملCXCR4 regulates migration and development of human acute myelogenous leukemia stem cells in transplanted NOD/SCID mice.
The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 participate in the retention of normal hematopoietic stem cells within the bone marrow (BM) and their release into the circulation. Homing and engraftment of human stem cells in immunodeficient mice are dependent on cell surface CXCR4 expression and the production of BM SDF-1, which acts also as a survival factor for bot...
متن کاملRegulation of CXCR4 expression in human mesenchymal stem cells by cytokine treatment: role in homing efficiency in NOD/SCID mice.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for cell therapy relies on the capacity of these cells to home and engraft long-term into the appropriate target tissue(s). Homing of MSC to bone marrow (BM) post-transplantation can occur, but does so with only poor efficiency. This study was designed to evaluate the role of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in the homing of Flk1+ MSC derive...
متن کاملAdapted NOD/SCID model supports development of phenotypically and functionally mature T cells from human umbilical cord blood CD341 cells
The NOD-LtSZ scid/scid (NOD/SCID) repopulation assay is the criterion for the study of self-renewal and multilineage differentiation of human hematopoietic stem cells. An important shortcoming of this model is the reported absence of T-cell development. We studied this aspect of the model and investigated how it could be optimized to support T-cell development. Occasionally, low-grade thymic en...
