In the bone marrow progenitor (pro-) and precursor (pre-) B cells depend on close contact with stromal cells for growth and maturation Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), also known as pre-B cell growth-stimulating factor, is produced by bone marrow stromal cells and was reported to act together with interleukin-7 as co-mitogen for pre-B cells. SDF-1 was recently shown to be a chemokine which is chemotactic for different typos of leukocytes and acts via the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Using sorted B220(+) bone marrow cells and several B cell lines characteristic for different stages of B lymphopoiesis, we now show that SDF-1 is a potent attractant for pro- and pre-B cells, but is inactive on B cells at later stages of development. In early B cell precursors, SDF-1 induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and in vitro migration with a potency and efficacy similar to that observed for chemokines acting on blood leukocytes. These responses were mediated via CXCR4 as they could be inhibited by an anti-receptor antibody SDF-1 is the first chemokine shown to act on early-stage B cell precursors. Mice lacking SDF-1 die perinatally and show a severe deficiency in B lymphopoiesis. We propose that SDF-1 released from the stromal cells exerts its critical hematopoietic function by selectively attracting and confining early B cell precursors within the bone marrow microenvironment that provides the necessary factors for growth and differentiation.
