Mechanisms of stem cell mobilization. G-CSF mobilizes CD34+ cells via down-regulation of SDF-1 expression and induction of CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) cleavage of cell surface SDF-1. In addition, G-CSF stimulates polymorphonuclear leukocyte cell release of the proteases NE, CG, and MMP-9, which cleave VCAM-1, c-kit, and SDF-1, releasing stem cells from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood. Plerixafor mobilizes stem cells through direct antagonism of CXCR4, which inhibits the interaction of SDF-1 with CXCR4. (Adapted from Future Oncol. 2005;1: , with permission of Future Medicine, Ltd.)
