Gata2 noncoding genetic variation as a determinant of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell mobilization efficiency. Blood Adv 2023; 7:7564-7575. [PMID: 37871305 PMCID: PMC10761364 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2023011003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Germline genetic variants alter the coding and enhancer sequences of GATA2, which encodes a master regulator of hematopoiesis. The conserved murine Gata2 enhancer (+9.5) promotes hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) genesis during embryogenesis. Heterozygosity for a single-nucleotide Ets motif variant in the human enhancer creates a bone marrow failure and acute myeloid leukemia predisposition termed GATA2 deficiency syndrome. The homozygous murine variant attenuates chemotherapy- and transplantation-induced hematopoietic regeneration, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) response to inflammation, and HSPC mobilization with the therapeutic mobilizer granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Because a Gata2 +9.5 variant attenuated G-CSF-induced HSPC expansion and mobilization, and HSC transplantation therapies require efficacious mobilization, we tested whether variation affects mechanistically distinct mobilizers or only those operating through select pathways. In addition to affecting G-CSF activity, Gata2 variation compromised IL-8/CXCR2- and VLA-4/VCAM1-induced mobilization. Although the variation did not disrupt HSPC mobilization mediated by plerixafor, which functions through CXCR4/CXCL12, homozygous and heterozygous variation attenuated mobilization efficacy of the clinically used plerixafor/G-CSF combination. The influence of noncoding variation on HSPC mobilization efficacy and function is important clinically because comprehensive noncoding variation is not commonly analyzed in patients. Furthermore, our mobilization-defective system offers unique utility for elucidating fundamental HSPC mechanisms.

Getting blood out of a stone: Identification and management of patients with poor hematopoietic cell mobilization. Blood Rev 2020; 47:100771. [PMID: 33213986 DOI: 10.1016/j.blre.2020.100771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2019] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has become a primary treatment for many cancers. Nowadays, the primary source of hematopoietic cells is by leukapheresis collection of these cells from peripheral blood, after a forced egress of hematopoietic cells from marrow into blood circulation, a process known as "mobilization". In this process, mobilizing agents disrupt binding interactions between hematopoietic cells and marrow microenvironment to facilitate collection. As the first essential step of HCT, poor mobilization, i.e. failure to obtain a desired or required number of hematopoietic cell, is one of the major factors affecting engraftment or even precluding transplantation. This review summarizes the available mobilization regimens using granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and plerixafor, as well as the current understanding of the factors that are associated with poor mobilization. Strategies to mobilize patients or healthy donors who failed previous mobilization are discussed. Multiple novel agents are under investigation and some of them have shown the potential to enhance the mobilization response to G-CSF and/or plerixafor. Further investigation of the risk factors including genetic factors will offer an opportunity to better understand the molecular mechanism of mobilization and help develop new therapeutic strategies for successful mobilizations.

Salvage treatment with plerixafor in poor mobilizing allogeneic stem cell donors: results of a prospective phase II-trial. Bone Marrow Transplant 2020; 56:635-645. [PMID: 33028987 PMCID: PMC8589660 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-020-01053-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 08/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
We conducted a prospective clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of plerixafor (P) in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) donors with poor mobilization response to standard-dose granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), defined by <2 × 106 CD34 + cells/kg recipient body-weight (CD34+/kg RBW) after 1st apheresis. A single dose of 240 µg/kg P was injected subcutaneously at 10 p.m. on the day of the 1st apheresis. Thirty-seven allogeneic PBSC donors underwent study treatment. The median CD34+ count in peripheral blood was 15/µl on Day 1 after G-CSF alone, versus 44/µl on Day 2 after G-CSF plus P (p < 0.001). The median yield of CD34+ cells was 1.1 × 108 on Day 1 and 2.8 × 108 on Day 2. In contrast to a median yield of only 1.31 × 106 CD CD34+/kg RBW on Day 1, triggering study inclusion, a median of 3.74 × 106 CD CD34+/kg RBW were collected with G-CSF plus P on Day 2. Of 37 donors, 21 reached the target cell count of >4.5 × 106 CD34+/kg RBW (57%, 95%CI 40-73%). No donor experienced a severe adverse event requiring treatment. In conclusion, P might be considered on a case-by-case basis for healthy allogeneic donors with very poor stem cell mobilization success after G-CSF.

The Biological and Clinical Relevance of G Protein-Coupled Receptors to the Outcomes of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Systematized Review. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:E3889.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative treatment for several malignant and non-malignant diseases at the cost of serious treatment-related toxicities (TRTs). Recent research on extending the benefits of HSCT to more patients and indications has focused on limiting TRTs and improving immunological effects following proper mobilization and engraftment. Increasing numbers of studies report associations between HSCT outcomes and the expression or the manipulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This large family of cell surface receptors is involved in various human diseases. With ever-better knowledge of their crystal structures and signaling dynamics, GPCRs are already the targets for one third of the current therapeutic arsenal. The present paper assesses the current status of animal and human research on GPCRs in the context of selected HSCT outcomes via a systematized survey and analysis of the literature.

A novel association between relaxin receptor polymorphism and hematopoietic stem cell yield after mobilization. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0179986.

Abstract
Mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood is a complex mechanism that involves adhesive and chemotactic interactions of HSCs as well as their bone marrow microenvironment. In addition to a number of non-genetic factors, genetic susceptibilities also contribute to the mobilization outcome. Identification of genetic factors associated with HSC yield is important to better understand the mechanism behind HSC mobilization. In the present study, we enrolled 148 Korean participants (56 healthy donors and 92 patients) undergoing HSC mobilization for allogeneic or autologous HSC transplantation. Among a total of 53 polymorphisms in 33 candidate genes, one polymorphism (rs11264422) in relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 4 (RXFP4) gene was significantly associated with a higher HSC yield after mobilization in Koreans. However, in a set of 101 Europeans, no association was found between circulating CD34+ cell counts and rs11264422 genotype. Therefore, we suggest that the ethnic differences in subjects’ genetic background may be related to HSC mobilization. In conclusion, the relaxin—relaxin receptor axis may play an important role in HSC mobilization. We believe that the results of the current study could provide new insights for therapies that use relaxin and HSC populations, as well as a better understanding of HSC regulation and mobilization at the molecular level.

Mobilization of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell donors with intravenous plerixafor mobilizes a unique graft. Blood 2017; 129:2680-2692.

Abstract
A single subcutaneous (SC) injection of plerixafor results in rapid mobilization of hematopoietic progenitors, but fails to mobilize 33% of normal allogeneic sibling donors in 1 apheresis. We hypothesized that changing the route of administration of plerixafor from SC to IV may overcome the low stem cell yields and allow collection in 1 day. A phase 1 trial followed by a phase 2 efficacy trial was conducted in allogeneic sibling donors. The optimal dose of IV plerixafor was determined to be 0.32 mg/kg. The primary outcome of reducing the failure to collect ≥2 × 106 CD34+/kg recipient weight in 1 apheresis collection to ≤10% was not reached. The failure rate was 34%. Studies evaluating the stem cell phenotype and gene expression revealed a novel plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursor preferentially mobilized by plerixafor with high interferon-α producing ability. The observed cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia rate for patients at risk was low (15%), as were the rates of acute grade 2-4 graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (21%). Day 100 treatment related mortality was low (3%). In conclusion, plerixafor results in rapid stem cell mobilization regardless of route of administration and resulted in novel cellular composition of the graft and favorable recipient outcomes. These trials were registered at clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00241358 and #NCT00914849.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous, multifactorial, chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia owing to insulin insufficiency and insulin resistance (IR). Recent epidemiological studies showed that the diabetes epidemic affects 382 million people worldwide in 2013, and this figure is expected to be 600 million people by 2035. Diabetes is associated with microvascular and macrovascular complications resulting in accelerated endothelial dysfunction (ED), atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Unfortunately, the complex pathophysiology of diabetic cardiovascular damage is not fully understood. Therefore, there is a clear need to better understand the molecular pathophysiology of ED in diabetes, and consequently, better treatment options and novel efficacious therapies could be identified. In the light of recent extensive research, we re-investigate the association between diabetes-associated metabolic disturbances (IR, subclinical inflammation, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, dysregulated production of adipokines, defective incretin and gut hormones production/action, and oxidative stress) and ED, focusing on oxidative stress and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). In addition, we re-emphasize that oxidative stress is the final common pathway that transduces signals from other conditions-either directly or indirectly-leading to ED and CVD.

Abstract
The present study aimed to assess the impact of the CXCL12 gene polymorphism (rs1801157) on clinical outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from unrelated donors. Toxic complications were less frequent among patients transplanted from donors carrying the CXCL12-3'-A allele (42/79 vs. 105/151, p=0.014 and 24/79 vs. 73/151, p=0.009, for grade II-IV and III-IV, respectively). Logistic regression analyses confirmed a role of donor A allele (OR=0.509, p=0.022 and OR=0.473, p=0.013 for grade II-IV and III-IV toxicity). In addition, age of recipients (OR=0.980, p=0.036 and OR=0.981, p=0.040, respectively) was independently protective while female to male transplantation and HLA compatibility were not significant. The incidence of aGvHD (grades I-IV) was lower in patients having A allele (52/119 vs. 113/204, p=0.043) and AA homozygous genotype (6/25 vs. 159/298, p=0.005). Independent associations of both genetic markers with a decreased risk of aGvHD were also seen in multivariate analyses (A allele: OR=0.591, p=0.030; AA homozygosity: OR=0.257, p=0.006) in which HLA compatibility seemed to play less protective role (p<0.1) while recipient age and donor-recipient gender relation were not significant. Moreover, CXCL12-3'-A-positive patients were less prone to early HHV-6 reactivation (2/34 vs. 19/69, p=0.026). The presence of the CXCL12-3'-A variant was found to facilitate outcome of unrelated HSCT.

A nationwide survey of the use of plerixafor in patients with lymphoid malignancies who mobilize poorly demonstrates the predominant use of the "on-demand" scheme of administration at French autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant programs. Transfusion 2015; 55:2149-57. [PMID: 25968564 DOI: 10.1111/trf.13141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2014] [Revised: 03/05/2015] [Accepted: 03/09/2015] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND High-dose chemotherapy supported with autologous stem cell transplantation is a standard therapeutic option for a subset of patients with lymphoid malignancies. Cell procurement is nowadays done almost exclusively through cytapheresis, after mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from the marrow to peripheral blood (PB). The egress of HSPCs out of hematopoietic niches occurs in various physiologic or nonhomeostatic situations; pharmacologic approaches include the administration of acutely myelosuppressive agents or hematopoietic growth factors such as recombinant human granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (rHuG-CSF). The introduction of plerixafor, a first-of-its-class molecule that reversibly inhibits the interaction between the chemokine CXCL-12 (also known as SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR-4, has offered new opportunities for the so-called "poor mobilizers" who achieve insufficient mobilization and/or collection with conventional approaches. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Because of the lack of consensus on a definition for poor mobilizers and the relatively high cost of plerixafor, French competent authorities have mandated a postmarketing survey on its use in routine practice. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION We report here the results of this nationwide survey that confirms the clinical efficacy of plerixafor, even in the subset of patients who barely increased PB CD34+ cell count in response to rHuG-CSF-containing mobilization regimen. Furthermore, analysis of this registry showed that despite heterogeneity in medical practices, the early-"on-demand" or "preemptive"-introduction of plerixafor was widely used and did not result in an excess of prescriptions, beyond its expected use at the time when marketing authorization was granted.

Variant rs1801157 in the 3'UTR of SDF-1ß does not explain variability of healthy-donor G-CSF responsiveness. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0121859.

Abstract
The genetics responsible for the inter-individually variable G-CSF responsiveness remain elusive. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 3’UTR of CXCL12, rs1801157, was implicated in X4-tropic HiV susceptibility and later, in two small studies, in G-CSR responsiveness in patients and donors. The position of the SNP in the 3’UTR together with in-silico predictions suggested differential binding of micro-RNA941 as an underlying mechanism. In a cohort of 515 healthy stem cell donors we attempted to reproduce the correlation of the CXCL12 3’UTR SNP and mobilization responses and tested the role of miR941 in this context. The SNP was distributed with the expected frequency. Mobilization efficiency for CD34+ cells in WT, heterozygous and homozygous SNP individuals was indistinguishable, even after controlling for gender. miR941 expression in non-hematopoietic bone marrow cells was undetectable and miR941 did not interact with the 3’ UTR of CXCL12. Proposed effects of the SNP rs1801157 on G-CSF responsiveness cannot be confirmed in a larger cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Umbilical cord blood (UCB) has been used as an alternative source of donor hematopoietic stem cells for hematologic transplant setting over the past decade. This study attempted to evaluate potential predictors of cord blood quality. METHODS A total of 750 UCB samples were studied (male, n = 365; female, n = 385). The impact of neonatal sex, weight and stromal cell-derived factor-1α polymorphism on the quality of these UCB samples was investigated. RESULTS Male neonatal UCB was significantly richer in CD34(+) cells than was female UCB (P < 0.001), whereas female UCB was richer in total nucleated cells (P = 0.01). There was a slight correlation between CD34(+) cells concentration and UCB sample weight (P < 0.01) that could be attributed to the higher weight of male neonates. The use of tetra-polymerase chain reaction to detect stromal cell-derived factor-1α polymorphisms in 180 neonates revealed no differences between A/A, G/G and A/G allelic combinations. CONCLUSIONS These data emphasize the lack of predictive factors for CD34(+) cells and total nucleated cell concentrations in UCB samples before processing.

Abstract
CXCR4, receptor of the chemokine SDF-1 (stromal cell-derived factor 1) plays a major role in the normal hematopoiesis but also in the biology of the leukaemic cell. This receptor is expressed on the surface of blasts and is a key molecule in "the anchoring" of the leukaemic stem cell (LSC) within the bone marrow niche. The interactions of the LSC with the bone marrow microenvironment promote survival signals and drug resistance. Recent flow cytometry analyses reported that CXCR4 expression levels have a major prognostic impact in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). CXCR4 expression is associated with poor prognosis and can be useful to stratify patients, according to their phenotype, in order to establish risk-adapted strategies. Newly diagnosed AML are now routinely stratified according to molecular markers which guide prognosis and treatment. Many leukaemia are composed of multiples subclones with differential susceptibility to treatment and specific targeted therapies are missing. Despite therapeutic improvements for the treatment of AML, long term survival remains poor. Targeting CXCR4 is a novel promising approach of therapy. CXCR4 antagonists are used in combination with chemotherapy in preclinical and clinical studies. This review summarises our current knowledge regarding the key role of CXCR4 in AML and discusses how targeting this pathway could provide an interesting approach to eradicate the LSC.

Abstract
Mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) in healthy volunteers with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is currently carried out at many institutions worldwide. This report presents the experience of the Dresden center regarding donor evaluation and mobilization schedule. Data regarding efficacy, short- and long-term safety of G-CSF treatment gained from 8290 PBSC collections in healthy donors are outlined. These results are discussed against the background of the available evidence from the literature. Although established as a standard procedure, G-CSF application to allogeneic donors will always be a very delicate procedure and requires the utmost commitment of all staff involved to ensure maximum donor safety.

Genetic variant of the G-CSF receptor gene is associated with lower mobilization potential and slower recovery of granulocytes after transplantation of autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells. Cytokine 2012; 60:463-7.

Abstract
Peripheral blood mobilized by cytokines (i.e. granulocyte colony stimulating factor, G-CSF) and chemotherapy has become a major source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for transplantation (PBPCT). In this study the effect of the G-CSF receptor (CSF3R) gene polymorphism was investigated. The presence of the CSF3R variant (T allele, rs3917924) was related to CD34(+) mobilization yield and the pace of granulocyte recovery after autologous PBPCT. The mobilization yield was higher in patients lacking the CSF3R variant (OR=4.756, p=0.046) and those with multiple myeloma (OR=10.534, p=0.019). The pace of granulocyte recovery was found to be associated with the CSF3R polymorphism and was significantly slower in patients carrying the CSF3R-T variant than in CC homozygotes (median of 17 vs. 13 days, p<0.001). This association was confirmed (OR=4.445, p=0.014) by multiple regression analysis considering patient age and sex, the number of transplanted CD34(+) cells, diagnosis and CSF3R polymorphism. These results imply that CSF3R gene polymorphism plays a significant role in PBPCT.

Abstract
Pediatric sleep disordered breathing has emerged in the last few decades as a highly prevalent condition by virtue of its major morbidities encompassing the central nervous, cardiovascular, and metabolic systems. In this context, improved understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the cellular and organ injury and repair mechanisms, and the variance of the phenotype at any level of disease severity is all the more critical if appropriate personalized therapies are to be developed in the future. In this paper, the current evidence and hypothetical framework pointing to the endothelium as a primary cellular target for many of the morbidities of pediatric sleep apnea is reviewed, and particular emphasis on the recruitment of the endothelial cell lineage will be explored. It is hoped that this perspective will foster both expansion and acceleration of discovery efforts aiming to ultimately prevent the potentially lifelong consequences of sleep apnea during childhood.

Mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells using inhibitors of CXCR4 and VLA-4. Leukemia 2012; 26:34-53.

Abstract
Successful hematopoietic stem cell transplant requires the infusion of a sufficient number of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) that are capable of homing to the bone marrow cavity and regenerating durable trilineage hematopoiesis in a timely manner. Stem cells harvested from peripheral blood are the most commonly used graft source in HSCT. Although granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the most frequently used agent for stem cell mobilization, the use of G-CSF alone results in suboptimal stem cell yields in a significant proportion of patients. Both the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and the integrin α(4)β(1) (very late antigen 4 (VLA-4)) have important roles in the homing and retention of HSPCs within the bone marrow microenvironment. Preclinical and/or clinical studies have shown that targeted disruption of the interaction of CXCR4 or VLA-4 with their ligands results in the rapid and reversible mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells into the peripheral circulation and is synergistic when combined with G-CSF. In this review, we discuss the development of small-molecule CXCR4 and VLA-4 inhibitors and how they may improve the utility and convenience of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy with stem cells support has largely improved in terms of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells harvest procedures as well as in those, which target or manipulate the cellular composition of autologous graft. Optimal preparative regimens and supportive care had lead to better use of autologous transplantation procedure. For other patients assigned to hematopoietic transplantation, availability of allogeneic donors appears to be an interesting alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells. Since three decades, hematopoietic growth factors development has allowed mobilization optimization and collection of peripheral hematopoietic stem cells leading to reduced days of hospitalization and less blood products requirements, being more cost-effective for patients in autologous transplantation settings and for stem cell collection facilities in allogeneic ones. New perspectives include, besides ex vivo manipulation of graft, development of mobilizing drugs in order to perform transplantation even in poor mobilizers patients. An important goal is achieved with the description of genetic polymorphisms related to optimal mobilization of stem cells. New approach using more promising and selective agents called chemokines, such as plerixafor the main leader among these agents are now available and appear complementary for alternative approach using cytokines alone (G-CSF, GM-CSF, SCF). The aim of this review is to assess the evolution of theses biotechnologies and their role in different steps of autologous transplantation and allogeneic stem cells collection.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells can be mobilized out of the bone marrow into the blood for the reconstitution of hematopoiesis following high-dose therapy. Methods to improve mobilization efficiency and yields are rapidly emerging. Traditional methods include chemotherapy with or without myeloid growth factors. Plerixafor, a novel agent that disrupts the CXCR4-CXCL12 bond, the primary hematopoietic stem cell anchor in the bone marrow, has recently been US FDA-approved for mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Plerixafor and myeloid growth factors as single agents appear safe to use in family or volunteer hematopoietic stem cells donors. Plerixafor mobilizes leukemic stem cells and is not approved for use in patients with acute leukemia. Patients failing to mobilize adequate hematopoietic stem cells with myeloid growth factors can often be successfully mobilized with chemotherapy plus myeloid growth factors or with plerixafor and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.

Abstract
Ancestim (r-MetHuSCF) is available in France for compassionate use in patients who are candidates for high-dose chemotherapy and autologous transplantation, and who failed in previous attempts at mobilization and collection. We report here data from 513 adult patients who benefited from this program, between January 1998 and July 2007. Given with systematic premedication, ancestim was generally well tolerated, although severe but not life-threatening adverse events were reported in 12 individuals. Overall, a graft was obtained or completed for 235 patients (46%). The median number of collected CD34+ cells was 3.00 × 10(6)/kg (range: 0.03-39.50). The target threshold of 2 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg was reached in 161 patients (31%). Factors associated with collection were diagnosis of myeloma, no previous autologous transplant, no more than one previous failed attempt and a mobilization regimen including cytotoxic agents. A total of 207 patients (40%) proceeded to high-dose chemotherapy and autologous transplantation. The median time to reach 0.5 × 10(9)/L neutrophils and 20 × 10(9)/L platelets was 12 (6-40) and 13 (0-31) days, respectively. We conclude that a combination of ancestim with filgrastim successfully mobilized CD34+ cells in peripheral blood, and allowed adequate collection in preparation for autologous transplantation in approximately one-third of poorly mobilizing patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Background The number of CD34(+) cells mobilized from bone marrow to peripheral blood after administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor varies greatly among healthy donors. This fact might be explained, at least in part, by constitutional differences in genes involved in the interactions tethering CD34(+) cells to the bone marrow. DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed genetic characteristics associated with CD34(+) cell mobilization in 112 healthy individuals receiving granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (filgrastim; 10 μg/kg; 5 days). RESULTS Genetic variants in VCAM1 and in CD44 were associated with the number of CD34(+) cells in peripheral blood after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration (P = 0.02 and P = 0.04, respectively), with the quantity of CD34(+) cells ×10⁶/kg of donor (4.6 versus 6.3; P < 0.001 and 7 versus 5.6; P = 0.025, respectively), and with total CD34(+) cells ×10⁶ (355 versus 495; P = 0.002 and 522 versus 422; P = 0.012, respectively) in the first apheresis. Of note, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration was associated with complete disappearance of VCAM1 mRNA expression in peripheral blood. Moreover, genetic variants in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (CSF3R) and in CXCL12 were associated with a lower and higher number of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized CD34(+) cells/μL in peripheral blood (81 versus 106; P = 0.002 and 165 versus 98; P=0.02, respectively) and a genetic variant in CXCR4 was associated with a lower quantity of CD34(+) cells ×10⁶/kg of donor and total CD34(+) cells ×10⁶ (5.3 versus 6.7; P = 0.02 and 399 versus 533; P = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions In conclusion, genetic variability in molecules involved in migration and homing of CD34(+) cells influences the degree of mobilization of these cells.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Ischemic disorders are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, current therapies only delay progression of the disease. Data suggest a role of the SDF-1-CXCR4 axis in attenuation of ischemic disorders. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW We discuss the importance of SDF-1-CXCR4 interactions during development and postnatal mobilization and migration of stem cells. We focus on the role of the SDF-1-CXCR4 axis in stem-cell-based applications for attenuation of ischemic cardiomyopathy. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN During development the SDF-1-CXCR4 axis plays a critical role in gradient-guided cell movements. In adults, the SDF-1-CXCR4 axis is involved in retention and mobilization of stem cells. Since SDF-1 is upregulated during hypoxic tissue damage, strategies to augment or stabilize SDF-1 have been utilized to target blood-derived stem cells to ischemic tissue. We exploited this concept by preventing SDF-1 degradation with dipeptidylpeptidaseIV (DPPIV) inhibition and mobilization of stem cells by G-CSF after acute myocardial infarction. This targeted CD34(+)CXCR4(+) cells to ischemic heart and attenuated ischemic cardiomyopathy. TAKE HOME MESSAGE The SDF-1-CXCR4 axis plays a role in stem cell homing during embryogenesis and adulthood especially after ischemia. Preserving functional SDF-1 by DPPIV inhibition after ischemia may enhance stem cell therapies.

Abstract
Insulin resistance, a key feature of obesity, the metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes mellitus, results in an array of metabolic and vascular phenomena which ultimately promote the development of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is intricately related to insulin resistance through the parallel stimulatory effects of insulin on glucose disposal in metabolic tissues and NO production in the endothelium. Perturbations characteristic of insulin resistance, including dyslipidaemia, inflammation and oxidative stress, may jeopardize the structural or functional integrity of the endothelium. Recent evidence suggests that endothelial damage is mitigated by endogenous reparative processes which mediate endothelial regeneration. EPCs (endothelial progenitor cells) are circulating cells which have been identified as mediators of endothelial repair. Several of the abnormalities associated with insulin resistance, including reduced NO bioavailability, increased production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) and down-regulation of intracellular signalling pathways, have the potential to disrupt EPC function. Improvement in the number and function of EPCs may contribute to the protective actions of evidence-based therapies to reduce cardiometabolic risk. In the present article, we review the putative effects of insulin resistance on EPCs, discuss the underlying mechanisms and highlight potential therapeutic manoeuvres which could improve vascular repair in individuals with insulin resistance.

Abstract
The interaction between CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 plays a crucial role in the homing and mobilization of haematopoietic progenitors. We investigated the putative association between a CXCL12 gene polymorphism, the G --> A transition at position 801 in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR), and the yield of CD34(+) progenitors in 65 healthy allogeneic transplant donors who received G-CSF. Importantly, in this setting, the analysis was not biased by background disease or chemotherapy. The 3'UTR CXCL12 G801A polymorphism was detected using a PCR-RFLP technique with the MspI restriction enzyme and the frequency of CD34(+) progenitors was assessed by flow cytometry. The frequency as well as the number of CD34(+) progenitor cells in the first leukapheresis product was significantly higher from donors with the CXCL12-3'A allele compared to GG homozygotes (P<0.05 in both cases), especially for subjects with the CXCL12-3'AA homozygous genotype (P<0.01 in both cases). Moreover, more leukaphereses were needed to obtain the required number of CD34(+) progenitors for transplantation from CXCL12-3'GG homozygous donors compared to the CXCL12-3'A carriers (P=0.003). In conclusion, the CXCL12-3'A allele was associated with a higher yield of CD34(+) cells from healthy donors of PBPC for allogeneic haematopoietic SCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1) and its receptor CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) play a critical role in progenitor cell homing, mobilization and differentiation. It would be interesting to assess the predictive value of SDF-1alpha level for EPC number, and to ascertain whether there is a relationship between SDF1 gene variation, plasma SDF-1alpha level, and the number and function of circulating EPCs. We also tested whether EPC number and function was related to CXCR4 gene variation. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We genotyped a cohort of individuals who participated in the Bruneck Study for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SDF1 and CXCR4 genes, and measured blood SDF1alpha level as well as EPC number and function. SDF1alpha levels were correlated with age, gender, alcohol consumption, circulating reticulocyte numbers, and concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-9, C-reactive protein, cystatin C, fibrinogen and homocytein. In blood samples taken in 2005, EPC number was inversely associated with SDF1alpha level (p<0.001). EPC number in 2005 was also inversely associated with SDF1alpha level in 2000 (p = 0.009), suggesting a predictive value of plasma SDF1alpha level for EPC number. There was an association between the SDF1 gene rs2297630 SNP A/A genotype, increased SDF1alpha level (p = 0.002) and lower EPC number (p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that a SDF1 gene variation (rs2297630) has an influence on SDF1alpha level and circulating EPC number, and that plasma SDF1alpha level is a predictor of EPC number.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Chemokines and chemokine receptors are known to be involved in atherogenesis. Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affect transcription in response to inflammatory stimuli. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between MCP-1, RANTES, SDF-1, CCR2, and CCR5 gene polymorphisms with increased risk of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. METHODS Hundred and twelve patients, consecutively recruited for ICA occlusive disease, and 282 controls were genotyped for MCP-1-2518G, RANTES-403A, CCR5Delta32, CCR2 V64I, and SDF-1-801A polymorphisms. RESULTS The frequency of the SDF-1A allele was significantly different between cases and controls: 0.32 vs. 0.20, respectively (OR 1.81; 95% CI 1.25-2.60; p=0.007). The frequency of the RANTES-403G allele was significantly higher in patients with stenosis >70% (OR, 2.45; 95% CI 1.12-5.71; p=0.015). No significant differences were observed with the other polymorphisms. CONCLUSION The reported results seem to correlate the polymorphisms of the genes encoding for SDF-1, RANTES with pathogenesis and progression of ICA occlusive disease. Although suggestive, these results need confirmation in prospective cross-sectional studies.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become the standard of care for the treatment of many hematologic malignancies, chemotherapy sensitive relapsed acute leukemias or lymphomas, multiple myeloma; and for some non-malignant diseases such as aplastic anemia and immunodeficient states. The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) resides in the bone marrow (BM). A number of chemokines and cytokines have been shown in vivo and in clinical trials to enhance trafficking of HSC into the peripheral blood. This process, termed stem cell mobilization, results in the collection of HSC via apheresis for both autologous and allogeneic transplantation. Enhanced understanding of HSC biology, processes involved in HSC microenvironmental interactions and the critical ligands, receptors and cellular proteases involved in HSC homing and mobilization, with an emphasis on G-CSF induced HSC mobilization, form the basis of this review. We will describe the key features and dynamic processes involved in HSC mobilization and focus on the key ligand-receptor pairs including CXCR4/SDF1, VLA4/VCAM1, CD62L/PSGL, CD44/HA, and Kit/KL. In addition we will describe food and drug administration (FDA) approved and agents currently in clinical development for enhancing HSC mobilization and transplantation outcomes.

Abstract
Proper response of normal stem cells (NSC) to motomorphogens and chemoattractants plays a pivotal role in organ development and renewal/regeneration of damaged tissues. Similar chemoattractants may also regulate metastasis of cancer stem cells (CSC). Growing experimental evidence indicates that both NSC and CSC express G-protein-coupled seven-transmembrane span receptor CXCR4 and respond to its specific ligand alpha-chemokine stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1), which is expressed by stroma cells from different tissues. In addition, a population of very small embryonic-like (VSEL) stem cells that express CXCR4 and respond robustly to an SDF-1 gradient was recently identified in adult tissues. VSELs express several markers of embryonic and primordial germ cells. It is proposed that these cells are deposited early in the development as a dormant pool of embryonic/pluripotent NSC. Expression of both CXCR4 and SDF-1 is upregulated in response to tissue hypoxia and damage signal attracting circulating NSC and CSC. Thus, pharmacological modulation of the SDF-1-CXCR4 axis may lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies to enhance mobilization of CXCR4+ NSC and their homing to damaged organs as well as inhibition of the metastasis of CXCR4+ cancer cells.

Abstract
Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), a chemokine abundantly produced by the bone marrow microenvironment, and its receptor CXCR4 have crucial roles in malignant cell trafficking. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), blasts invade the bloodstream and may localize in extramedullar sites, with variations from one patient to another. We hypothesized that a polymorphism in the SDF-1 coding gene (CXCL12 G801A) could influence blast dissemination and tissue infiltration in AML. CXCL12 G801A polymorphism was determined in 86 adult patients and 100 healthy volunteers. The allelic status and CXCR4 expression on bone marrow blasts were analyzed in relation to peripheral blood blast (PBB) counts and frequency of extramedullar tumor sites. 801A carrier status (801G/A, 801A/A) was found to be associated with a higher PBB count compared with 801G/G homozygous patients (P=0.031) and higher frequency of extramedullar tumor sites (odds ratio 2.92, 95% confidence interval 1.18-7.21, P=0.018). Moreover, the PBB count was correlated with CXCR4 expression (correlation coefficient 0.546, P=0.001) when considering 801A carriers. In conclusion, a polymorphism in the SDF-1 gene is shown for the first time to be associated with the clinical presentation of a malignant hematological disease and more generally with the risk of distant tissue infiltration by tumor cells.

Abstract
Stromal cell-Derived Factor-1 (SDF-1, CXCL12) is one the ELR- CXC angiogenic chemokines. It contributes to hematopoiesis and lymphocyte trafficking. SDF-1 and its exclusive receptor, CXCR4, are reported to play important roles in tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis of different types of tumors such as breast, lung, prostate and pancreatic cancers. SDF-1 gene polymorphism, known as SDF1-3'A, has been investigated in HIV-1 infection and the incidence of breast cancer. This investigation was aimed to study the frequency of SDF1-3'A mutation in Iranian women with breast cancer. Results showed that the frequency of AA and AG genotypes was higher among patients, while the frequency of GG genotype was lower compared to the controls. Thus AA and AG genotypes of SDF-1 may be considered as factors increasing the susceptibility of Iranian women to breast cancer.

The CXCR4 agonist peptide, CTCE-0021, rapidly mobilizes polymorphonuclear neutrophils and hematopoietic progenitor cells into peripheral blood and synergizes with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. Exp Hematol 2005; 33:295-307. [PMID: 15730853 DOI: 10.1016/j.exphem.2004.11.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2004] [Revised: 11/09/2004] [Accepted: 11/09/2004] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) by stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) has been described; however, sustained adenoviral delivery or N-terminal modification was required for effect and could not be demonstrated with native protein. The aim of this study was to further investigate the SDF-1alpha/CXCR4 axis in HSPC mobilization using CTCE-0021, a cyclized CXCR4 agonist peptide, with comparable bioactivity and improved stability relative to SDF-1alpha. METHODS Peripheral blood cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) were quantitated in mice administered single or multiple doses of CTCE-0021 or SDF-1alpha, or mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in combination with CTCE-0021. Proteases, cytokines, and receptors implicated in HSPC mobilization were evaluated to determine mechanism of action. RESULTS CTCE-0021 dose-dependently elevated blood neutrophils polymorphonuclear neutrophil [PMN] within 5 minutes that peaked after 1 hour and persisted for 24 hours. PMN mobilization could be maintained by daily dosing. CTCE-0021 mobilized colony-forming unit granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM), burst-forming unit erythroid (BFU-E), and CFU-granulocyte-erythrocyte-monocyte-megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) that peaked within 1 hour after administration, and synergistically enhanced both PMN and HSPC mobilization when combined with G-CSF. Mobilization induced by CTCE-0021 was associated with rapid downregulation of CXCR4 expression on HPC. No appreciable changes in proteases implicated in HPC mobilization were observed. Significantly elevated plasma SDF-1 was detected in mobilized mice, which likely represents CTCE-0021. CONCLUSION These studies indicate that CTCE-0021 is an efficient and rapid mobilizer of PMN and HPC when used alone and shows synergistic activity when used in combination with G-CSF. The mobilizing effect of this peptide appears to be mediated by downregulation of the CXCR4 receptor on HPC and altered chemokine gradient.
