Abstract

Adult bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells, including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and MSCs, represent an important source of cells for the repair of a number of damaged tissues. In contrast to HSCs, the soluble factors able to induce MSC migration have not been extensively studied. In the present work, we compared the in vitro migration capacity of human BM-derived MSCs, preincubated or not with the inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1beta (IL1beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), in response to 16 growth factors (GFs) and chemokines. We show that BM MSCs migrate in response to many chemotactic factors. The GFs platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)…
