Matrix Metalloproteinase Activity Inactivates the CXC Chemokine Stromal Cell-derived Factor-1 [PDF]
Chemokines provide directional cues for leukocyte migration and activation that are essential for normal leukocytic trafficking and for host responses during processes such as inflammation, infection, and cancer. Recently we reported that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) modulate the activity of the CC chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-3 by ...

Oxygen tension plays a critical role in the hematopoietic microenvironment in vitro
Background In the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells and osteoblasts form functional niches for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. This microenvironment can be partially mimicked using in vitro co-culture systems.

Roles of tumor suppressors in regulating tumor-associated inflammation. [PDF]
Loss or silencing of tumor suppressors (TSs) promotes neoplastic transformation and malignant progression. To date, most work on TS has focused on their cell autonomous effects.

The Role of SDF-1/CXCR4/CXCR7 in Neuronal Regeneration after Cerebral Ischemia
Stromal cell-derived factor-1 is a chemoattractant produced by bone marrow stromal cell lines. It is recognized as a critical factor in the immune and central nervous systems (CNSs) as well as exerting a role in cancer.

Hypoxic Preconditioning Enhances Survival and Proangiogenic Capacity of Human First Trimester Chorionic Villus-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Fetal Tissue Engineering. [PDF]
Prenatal stem cell-based regenerative therapies have progressed substantially and have been demonstrated as effective treatment options for fetal diseases that were previously deemed untreatable. Due to immunoregulatory properties, self-renewal capacity,

Increased immunoreactivity of stromal cell-derived factor‐1 and angiogenesis in asthma [PDF]
Stromal cell-derived factor‐1 (SDF‐1) acts as a chemoattractant for leukocytes and can induce neovascularisation. To examine the role of SDF‐1 in the development of angiogenesis, immunohistochemical studies were performed on bronchial biopsy specimens from asthmatic and control subjects.Bronchial biopsy specimens were obtained from 13 asthmatic and ...

Phenotypic characterization of human prostatic stromal cells in primary cultures derived from human tissue samples [PDF]
Emerging evidence has shown that the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. However, the mechanism(s) through which stromal cells regulate epithelial cells and the differences among prostatic ...

The role of stromal cell-derived factor 1 on cartilage development and disease [PDF]
Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), also known as CXC motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12), is recognized as a homeostatic cytokine with strong chemotactic potency. It plays an important role in physiological and pathological processes, such as the development of multiple tissues and organs, the regulation of cell distribution, and tumour metastasis ...
