endothelial progenitor cell; stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha migration
Stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 alpha, a member of the chemokine CXC subfamily, plays an important role in regulation of a variety of cellular functions of endothelial progenitor cells such as cell migration, proliferation, survival and angiogenesis. However, there is relatively little information linking the cellular functions and individual signaling pathways mediated by SDF-1 alpha in endothelial progenitor cells. In our study, we showed that endothelial progenitor cells expressed CXCR4 by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometric analysis. Functional analysis showed that SDF-1 alpha induced a concentration-dependent migration of endothelial progenitor cells and the migration was CXCR4 dependent as confirmed by the total inhibition by AMD3100, a CXCR4-specific peptide antagonist. The migration can also be nearly completely blocked by phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors (LY294002 and wortmannin) and eNOS inhibitor (N-G-nitro-arginine methyl ester), whereas mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK inhibitor (PD98059) had no significant effect on SDF-1 alpha-induced migration. The treatment of endothelial progenitor cells with SDF-1 alpha resulted in time and concentration-dependent Akt, eNOS, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. These findings suggested that phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/eNOS, but not mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK, signal transduction pathway may be involved in SDF-1 alpha mediated migration of endothelial progenitor cells.
