Over the past few years, the field of stem cell biology and its therapeutic application in cardiovascular diseases has expanded remarkably and moved to the forefront of cardiovascular science. Promising results from experimental studies with bone marrow (BM)-derived stem or progenitor cells1–3 prompted initiation of clinical trials in ischemic heart diseases (IHD). Pilot clinical trials4, 5 demonstrated that cell therapy using various BM-derived cells are safe and effective for treating IHD. The discovery that BM includes various stem cells spawned the strategy of directly mobilizing and homing BM cells into the heart to regenerate injured tissue. 6 This concept is appealing because invasive procedures related to harvesting and delivering BM cells into the heart can be avoided.The strategy of mobilizing stem cells from BM was initially contrived by hematologists to accelerate recovery after cancer chemotherapy. 7 A number of hematopoietic cytokines, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), stem cell factor (SCF), flt3 ligand (FL), and erythropoietin have been tested for mobilization and repopulation of the hematopoietic system. G-CSF is the most widely investigated hematopoietic growth factor in animals and patients. In addition to mobilizing BM cells, G-CSF induces proliferation, differentiation, and survival of hematopoietic cells. Recently, G-CSF was reported to have a direct action on nonhematopoietic cells expressing G-CSF receptors such as cardiomyocytes, 8 endothelial cells, 8 and neuronal cells. SCF was cloned as a ligand for c-kit. 9 SCF exerts its activity at the early stages of hematopoiesis in BM and acts synergistically with CSFs. Flt3 is a receptor expressed predominantly on HSCs and progenitors and has many overlapping activities with c-kit. FL belongs to a family of hematopoietic cytokines, including SCF and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), that are specific for class III tyrosine kinase receptors. 10 FL plays a central role in the proliferation, survival, and differentiation of early hematopoietic precursor cells. FL is usually not efficient as a single cytokine, but with G-CSF it exerts synergistic effects on mobilization and engraftment of HSCs. 11
