Abstract
Hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) respond robustly to α-chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) gradients, and blockage of CXCR4, a seven-transmembrane-spanning GαI-protein-coupled SDF-1 receptor, mobilizes HSPCs into peripheral blood. Although the SDF-1–CXCR4 axis has an unquestionably important role in the retention of HSPCs in bone marrow (BM), new evidence shows that, in addition to SDF-1, the migration of HSPCs is directed by gradients of the bioactive lipids sphingosine-1 phosphate and ceramide-1 phosphate. Furthermore, the SDF-1 gradient may be positively primed/modulated by cationic peptides (C3a anaphylatoxin and cathelicidin) and, as previously demonstrated, HSPCs respond robustly even to very low SDF-1 gradients in the presence of priming factors. In this review, we discuss the role of bioactive lipids in stem cell trafficking and the consequences of HSPC priming by cationic peptides. Together, these phenomena support a picture in which the SDF-1–CXCR4 axis modulates homing, BM retention and mobilization of HSPCs in a more complex way than previously envisioned.Keywords
