Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mobilization of CFUs from haemopoietic tissues into the circulation has a biphasic pattern. The first rise occurs within 30 min of LPS injection, the second 4-7 days later. This second rise coincides with an increase of the CFUs number in the spleen from about 3000 to about 50,000. We have investigated the relationship between the two peaks by making use of complement C5-deficient mouse strains and the LPS non-responder mouse strains C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr. These latter two strains lack a serologically identifiable structure ('LPS-receptor') which is present in all LPS-responder strains. After injection of eleven different mouse strains with LPS, the numbers of circulating CFUs increased rapidly in all strains, except in the C5-deficient A/J, AKR/J, DBA/2J and B10.D2/oSn mice. On the other hand, the delayed LPS-induced accumulation of CFUs in blood and spleen occurred in all mouse strains tested, including the C5-deficient strains, but not in the LPS non-responder strains C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr. These results show that (a) early LPS-induced mobilization of CFUs is dependent on the availability of C5, in contrast to the delayed CFUs accumulation in blood and spleen, (b) the presence of the LPS receptor is not required for early CFUs mobilization by LPS and (c) recognition of the mobilizing agent by a specific receptor is required for the delayed accumulation of CFUs in blood and spleen.

Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is linked to serious heart conditions like coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure, but SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) can help lower cardiovascular risks in these patients.
- A study examined how the SGLT2i empagliflozin affects circulating endothelial progenitor cells (cEPCs) in DM patients with stable CAD over three months.
- Results showed a significant increase in both the levels and function of cEPCs after three months of treatment, suggesting that empagliflozin may offer cardioprotective benefits beyond blood sugar control.
Liquid Storage of Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Products: Effects of Time and Temperature on Product Quality.

Unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) products often require transport to distant locations, which may take up to 72 hours. Temperature is an important variable that can be controlled during PBSC storage or transport; therefore, we studied the impact of temperature on prolonged storage of clinical-grade, mobilized PBSC products. PBSC products were collected by apheresis from 3 granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized donors, split into 2 PVC blood bags of equal volume, and stored at room temperature (RT) (18°C to 25 ºC) or 4 °C (2°C to 8 ºC) for 96 hours.

Methods: Through morphological characteristics, flow cytometry analysis of its surface markers, and induction of trilineage differentiation of the two cells (ie: adipogenic differentiation, osteogenic differentiation, chondrogenic differentiation), the obtained cells were finally confirmed to be PBMSCs. The colony-forming units (CFUs) and the acquisition success rates of the two PBMSCs were counted and compared, and the production of the second generation of the two PBMSCs was counted and compared by hemocytometer, and the cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the doubling time of the two PBMSCs, and the results of trilineage differentiation were quantitatively analyzed by image processing.

A significant number of fractures develop non-union. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy may be beneficial, however, this requires cell acquisition, culture and delivery. Endogenous mobilization of stem cells offers a non-invasive alternative.

The interaction of SDF-1α (also known as CXCL12) with the CXCR4 receptor plays a critical role in the retention of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in bone marrow. The viral macrophage inflammatory protein-II (vMIP-II), a human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8)-encoded viral chemokine, can bind the CXCR4 receptor and inhibit endogenous ligand-induced calcium responses and cell migration. Previously, we used the bivalent ligand approach to link synthetically two unnatural D-amino acid peptides derived from the N-terminus of vMIP-II (DV1 and DV3, respectively) to generate a dimeric peptide, DV1-K-(DV3) (also named HC4319), which shows very high affinity for CXCR4.
