The C-X-C chemokine SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR4, mediate a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HIV-1 infection and vascular inflammatory diseases. in this study, we investigated the pharmacological properties of SDF-1 alpha interaction with CXCR4 in human leukemia cell lines. Our data, based on [I-125]-SDF-1 alpha radioligand binding, SDF-1 alpha -induced [S-35]-GTP gammaS binding and use of specific CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 reveals the complex nature of SDF-1 alpha -CXCR4 interaction. Firstly, homologous competition with cold SDF-1 alpha revealed a bimodal ligand displacement curve and secondly, although AMD3100 inhibited both SDF-1 alpha -mediated chemotaxis (IC50=4.7 nM) and [S-35]-GTP gammaS binding (IC50=7.4 nM) with high affinity, it was intriguingly upto 3000-fold less potent (IC50 = 15.2 muM) in the radioligand binding assay. These results provide pharmacological evidence for the recently described two-site model for SDF-1 alpha -CXCR4 interaction. Accordingly, inhibition of SDF-l alpha binding to one of the receptor sites is sufficient to antagonize function, without causing its complete displacement from the receptor. Furthermore, these findings have important implications in the development and evaluation or CXCR4-selective small molecule antagonists for therapeutic use. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
