Abstract

Abstract The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is expressed by CD34 + hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC/HPC). Several investigators have suggested that expression of CXCR4 may be an important characteristic of HSC/HPC. We studied the dynamic expression of CXCR4 during growth factor-induced mobilization of HSC in a clinically relevant nonhuman primate model, Papio anubis (baboons). We evaluated whether CXCR4 expression in HSC/HPC varies during steady-state hematopoiesis as well as during growth factor-induced mobilization. Peripheral blood stem cells from 5 baboons were mobilized with growth factors. During mobilization, there was a consistent stepwise increase in the proportion of peripheral blood CD34 + cells that were CXCR4 -. The highest number of CD34 + CXCR4 - cells appeared in the peripheral blood at the same time as the maximum number of assayable colony-forming cells. The cloning efficiency of the CD34 + CXCR4 - population was 3-fold greater than that of CD34 + CXCR4 + cells, and the frequency of cobblestone area-forming cells was 6 times higher in the CD34 + CXCR4 - population in comparison to CD34 + CXCR4 + cells. Furthermore, the most quiescent CD34 + cells isolated on the basis of low Hoechst 33342 (Ho) and rhodamine ...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
