Chemotactic and chemokinetic activities of stem cell factor on murine hematopoietic progenitor cells

Division of Clinical Chemistry and Medical Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Shinshu University, Matsumoto, Japan.

We investigated the effects of stem cell factor (SCF) on the migration of murine bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in vitro using a modification of the checkerboard assay. Chemotactic and chemokinetic activities of SCF on HPC were evaluated by the numbers of HPC migrated on positive and negative gradients of SCF, respectively. On both positive and negative gradients of SCF, HPC began to migrate after 4 hours incubation, and their numbers then increased time- dependently. These results indicated that SCF functions as a chemotactic and chemokinetic agent for HPC. Analysis of types of colonies derived from the migrated HPC showed that SCF had chemotactic and chemokinetic effects on all types of HPC. When migrating activities of other cytokines were examined, interleukin (IL)-3 and IL-11 also affected the migration of HPC, but the degrees of each effect were lower than that of SCF. The results of the present study demonstrated that SCF is one of the most potent chemotactic and chemokinetic factors for HPC and suggest that SCF may play an important role in the flow of HPC into bone marrow where stromal cells constitutively produce SCF.
