Abstract:Granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) mobilization is associated with the release of neutrophil-derived proteases. Previously, we have shown that alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) inhibits these proteases in mice, resulting in inhibition of HSPC mobilization. Here, we studied the relationship between AAT and HSPC in steady state and cytokine-induced mobilization in humans. Patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) have an 85-90 % decrease of AAT i… Show more
“…57 with controls, patients deficient in AAT do not significantly differ with respect to the number of steady state peripheral blood HSPCs. 57 These findings suggest that both proteasedependent and -independent pathways play a role in HSPC mobilization. The extent to which each contributes to HSPC mobilization must be further elucidated.…”

“…In healthy human stem cell donors, AAT serum levels increase during G‐CSF–induced HSPC mobilization. This positively correlates with the increase in peripheral blood CD34 + cells . When compared with controls, patients deficient in AAT do not significantly differ with respect to the number of steady state peripheral blood HSPCs …”

Peripheral blood hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, are widely used as a source for both autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The use of mobilized HSPCs has several advantages over traditional bone marrow-derived HSPCs, including a less invasive harvesting process for the donor, higher HSPC yields, and faster hematopoietic reconstitution in the recipient. For years, the mechanisms by which cytokines and other agents mobilize HSPCs from the bone marrow were not fully understood. The field of stem cell mobilization research has advanced significantly over the past decade, with major breakthroughs in the elucidation of the complex mechanisms that underlie stem cell mobilization. In this review, we provide an overview of the events that underlie HSPC mobilization and address the relevant cellular and molecular components of the bone marrow niche. Furthermore, current and future mobilizing agents will be discussed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
