Objective: To study the expression pattern of SDF-1 in the NRK49F cells and the role of TGF-beta1 in mediating the expression of SDF-1.
Methods: The SDF-1 mRNA and protein expression in the NRK49F cells with or without stimulating by TGF-beta1 was assayed with RT-PCR or Western blot or Immunohistochemistry.
Results: The SDF-1 mRNA expression stimulated by TGF-beta1 appeared in a time-dependent manner. The peak value appeared at 24 hours and was (2.924 +/- 0.235) times as high as the initial level. The dose-course studies suggested that TGF-beta1 stimulation resulted in marked promotion of SDF-1 mRNA expression, which peaked at the concentration of 5 ng/mL. At this concentration, the expression of SDF-1 mRNA was (2.113 +/- 0.314) times as high as that of the control. Corresponding with the pattern of mRNA expression of SDF-1, protein expression of SDF-1 was observed in NRK49F cells. A time-dependent manner was also observed in the protein expression of SDF-1 stimulated by 5 ng/mL of TGF-beta1. The protein expression of SDF-1 at 36 hours was (2.572 +/- 0.238) times as high as that of the control. TGF-beta1 neutralizing antibody reduced the expression of SDF-1 protein.
Conclusion: SDF-1 expresses in NRK49F cells. TGF-beta1 up-regulates the mRNA and protein expressions of SDF-1 in NRK49F cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. As a chemokine, the increased expression of SDF-1 induced by TGF-beta1 may play an important role in renal inflammation and fibrosis.

Large bone defects are a major clinical challenge in bone reconstructive surgery. 3D printing is a powerful technology that enables the manufacture of custom tissue-engineered scaffolds for bone regeneration. Electrical stimulation (ES) is a treatment method for external bone defects that compensates for damaged internal electrical signals and stimulates cell proliferation and differentiation.

Objectives: To observe the role of miR-139-5p and Notch1 signaling pathway in regulation of homing of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) of asthmatic rats.
Methods: Normal rat BMSCs were co-cultured with bronchial epithelial cells from normal or asthmatic rats, followed by transfection with miR-139-5p mimics or a negative control sequence. The changes in cell viability and cell cycle were analyzed, and the cellular expressions of CXCR4 and SDF-1 were detected using immunofluorescence staining.

The review is devoted to the use of a new class of radiopharmaceuticals (RPs) - chemokine receptor ligands - in oncological practice. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is of particular interest as a molecular target in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors, as it plays an important role in carcinogenesis. By interacting with the chemokine CCXL12, it activates cell signaling pathways that affect tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis growth, and apoptosis inhibition.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) presents significant treatment challenges, particularly in cases unrelated to human papillomavirus (HPV). The chemokine receptor CXCR4, interacting with its ligand CXCL12, plays a crucial role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and treatment resistance. This study explores the therapeutic potential of engineered monomeric and dimerized CXCL12 variants (CXCL12 and CXCL12, respectively) in HNSCC and evaluates potential additive effects when combined with radiation therapy.

Prospermatogonia (ProSGs), the progenitors of spermatogonial stem cells in neonatal testes, undergo critical migration to the testicular microenvironment-a fundamental process for testicular development and subsequent spermatogenic capacity. The SDF-1/CXCR4 chemokine axis serves as an essential molecular guidance mechanism, directing ProSGs toward the basal membrane of seminiferous tubules. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanisms governing this axis remain incompletely understood.
