It has long been recognized that single therapies, such as G-CSF, have a limited capacity to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells from the bone marrow. As a consequence in ∼20% of patients insufficient numbers of HPCs are mobilized to perform a bone marrow transplant. Recent studies have shown synergistic mobilization of HPCs when G-CSF pretreatment is combined with acute administration of a CXCR4 antagonist suggesting that combinatorial therapies may have therapeutic potential. In addition to HPCs, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reside in the bone marrow. These progenitor cells contribute to tissue regeneration and there is currently much interest in identifying the factors and mechanisms that regulate their mobilization. We describe a methodology for an in situ perfusion system of the mouse hind limb that permits direct quantification of stem and progenitor cell egress from the bone marrow. Progenitor cells are quantified by colony forming assays and immunohistochemistry. A strength of the methodology described is the ability to simultaneously quantify the mobilization of HPCs, EPCs and MSCs. Using this system we have shown that it is possible to achieve differential mobilization of these stem cell subsets using discrete combination therapies. Identification of such novel pharmacological regimens that stimulate the selective mobilization of EPCs and MSCs might be exploited in the future for tissue regeneration.

Wengner AM, Pitchford SC, Furze RC, Rankin SMet al., 2007, The co-ordinated action of G-CSF and ELR+CXC chemokines in neutrophil mobilisation during acute inflammation, Blood

In this study we have identified a unique combinatorial effect of the chemokines KC/MIP-2 and the cytokine G-CSF with respect to the rapid mobilisation of neutrophils from the bone marrow in a model of acute peritonitis. 2h following an intraperitoneal injection of thioglycollate there was a 4.5 fold increase in blood neutrophil numbers which was inhibited by 84% and 72% prior administration of blocking mAbs against either the chemokines KC/ MIP-2 or G-CSF, respectively. An i.p. injection of G-CSF acted remotely to stimulate neutrophil mobilisation, but did not elicit recruitment into the peritoneum. Further, in vitro G -CSF was neither chemotactic nor chemokinetic for murine neutrophils and had no priming effect on chemotaxis stimulated by chemokines. Here we show that, in vitro and in vivo, G-CSF induces neutrophil mobilisation by disrupting their SDF-1alpha-mediated retention in the bone marrow. Using an in situ perfusion system of the mouse femoral bone marrow to directly assess mobilisation, KC and G-CSF mobilised 6.8 x 106 and 5.4 x 106 neutrophils respectively, while the infusion of KC and G-CSF together mobilised 19.5 x 106 neutrophils, indicating that these factors act co-operatively with respect to neutrophil mobilisation.
