Homing of bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) to bone/ bone marrow post transplantation, important for the correction of conditions such as metabolic storage disorders, can occur but with poor efficiency. Substantial improvements in engraftment will be required in order to derive a clinical benefit from MSC transplantation. Chemokines are the most important factors controlling cellular migration. Stromal Derived Factor-1 (SDF-1) has been shown to be critical in promoting the migration of cells to the bone marrow, via its specific receptor CXCR4. The aim of our study was to investigate CXCR4 expression on MSC and its role in mediating migration to bone marrow. We show that CXCR4, although present at the surface of a small subset of MSC, is important for mediating specific migration of these cells to bone marrow.
