Crucial Role of SDF-1/CXCR4 Interaction in the Recruitment of Transplanted Dermal Multipotent Cells to Sublethally Irradiated Bone Marrow
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Our previous study indicated that dermal multipotent cells (DMCs) could engraft into bone morrow (BM) of rats with sublethal irradiation and promote hematopoietic recovery after being transplanted systemically, but the mechanisms determining the recruitment of DMCs to the irradiation injured BM remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the role of stromal cellderived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXCR4 interaction in this process. Male DMCs were isolated and transplanted into female rats systemically, and by employing quantitative real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction for the sex-determining region of Y chromosome, it was found that the amount of DMCs in BM of rats with sublethal irradiation was about 3 times more than that of normal rats (P < 0.01). Incubation of DMCs with AMD3100 before transplantation, which specifically blocks binding of SDF-1 to its endogenous receptor CXCR4, diminished recruitment of DMCs to the injured BM by 57.2 +/- 5.5% (P < 0.05). In addition, it was confirmed that the expression of SDF-1 in injured BM was up-regulated when compared with that in normal BM, and in vitro analysis revealed that BM extracts from irradiated rats had a strong chemotactic effect on DMCs, which decreased significantly when DMCs were pre-incubated with AMD3100 (P < 0.05). These data suggest that transplanted DMCs were recruited more frequently to irradiation-injured BM than normal BM and the interactions of SDF-1/CXCR4 played an important role in this process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
