Background/Purpose: Stromal progenitor cells (SPC) enhance tissue repair in a variety of injury models. However, the mechanisms by which SPCs facilitate tissue repair remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that SPC-enhanced tissue repair is, in part, because of SPC-mediated recruitment of circulating cells to areas of tissue injury. To test this, we examined the migration of leukocytes in response to SPC in vitro.Methods: Leukocyte migration was assessed in response to SPC, SPC + transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1, or SPC + AMD3100 using a Transwell assay system (Coming, distributed by Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). Supernatants were collected from lower chambers and analyzed for leukocyte content, leukocyte viability, and stromal-derived growth factor (SDF)-1 alpha concentration.Results: Stromal progenitor cells increased leukocyte migration compared to media alone (450 70 vs 112 +/- 17 cells/mu L; P < .05). SPC treatment with TGF-beta 1 resulted in a 36% increase in leukocyte migration and correlated with an increase in SDF-1 alpha production. Treatment with AMD3100 resulted in inhibition of leukocyte migration.Conclusions: Stromal progenitor cells promote leukocyte migration, and this appears to be mediated through SDF-1 alpha production. The SPC production of SDF-1 alpha may be modulated by other cytokines present in the microenvironment during wound healing. Together, these observations provide a potential mechanism by which SPC may augment healing through enhanced recruitment of inflammatory cells and tissue progenitor cells to areas of tissue injury.
