Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) (CXCL12) has been observed to promote laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (LHSCCs) invasion through cooperation with its receptor CXCR4. Here, we further explore the angiogenesis mechanism induced by SDF-1/CXCR4 interaction in LHSCCs. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) reveals the significant correlation between CXCR4 and angiogenesis in tumors. After blocking the function of CXCR4 by specific inhibitor AMD3100 and neutralized antibody 12G5 or inhibiting the expression by siRNA, we were able to disrupt the HUVECs tube formation, demonstrating that SDF-1/CXCR4 indeed regulated the angiogenesis mechanism. The angiogenesis profiling from angiogenesis array and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction indicates that IL-8 can be significantly triggered by SDF-1/CXCR4 interaction in LHSCCs. We also demonstrate that IL-8 secretion mechanism is regulated by Akt phosphorylation after SDF-1 stimulation. These results point out the importance of SDF-1/CXCR4 interaction in LHSCCs angiogenesis. The angiogenic factor IL-8 would be triggered by the cooperation of SDF-1 and CXCR4 through an Akt-dependent pathway. This provides a new targeting therapy utility, disrupting SDF-1/CXCR4 interaction combined with downstream-induced angiogenic factors in LHSCCs would be beneficial to improve clinical outcome.

Chronic stress is a common cause of hair loss, involving inflammatory responses and changes in cellular signaling pathways. This study explores the mechanism of action of the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling axis in chronic stress-induced hair loss. The research indicates that SDF-1 promotes hair follicle growth through the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT signaling pathways.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how enriched environments (EE) aid angiogenesis and recovery in aged mice after ischemic stroke (IS), potentially through specific pathways and proteins.
- - In aged mice, EE treatment improved neurological function and boosted angiogenesis, which is linked to increased levels of SDF-1, VEGFA, and activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway.
- - blocking agents like AMD3100 and rapamycin negated the benefits of EE, indicating that SDF-1 and the AKT/mTOR pathway are crucial for the neuroprotective effects observed with enriched environments.
Cancer-Associated-Fibroblast-Mediated Paracrine and Autocrine SDF-1/CXCR4 Signaling Promotes Stemness and Aggressiveness of Colorectal Cancers.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a major role in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which facilitates the progression of CRC. It is critical to understand how CAFs promote the progression of CRC for the development of novel therapeutic approaches. The purpose of this study was to understand how CAF-derived stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its interactions with the corresponding C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) promote CRC progression.

Aim: Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) have a substantial role in neuronal formation, differentiation, remodeling, and maturation and participate in multiple physiological and pathological events. In this study, we investigated the role of SDF-1/CXCR4 in neural functional injury and neuroprotection after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
Methods: Western blot, immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation were used to detect SDF-1/CXCR4 expression and combination respectively after ICH.

Background: It has been observed that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) migrate towards the injured spinal cord and promote functional recovery when systemically transplanted into the traumatized spinal cord. However, the mechanisms underlying their migration to the spinal cord remain poorly understood.
Methods: In this study, we systemically transplanted GFP- and luciferase-expressing MSCs into rat models of spinal cord injury and examined the role of the stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/CXCR4 axis in regulating the migration of transplanted MSCs to the spinal cord.
