title: Transforming growth factor-beta1 down-regulates expression of chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1: functional consequences in cell migration and adhesion.
abstract: Chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is expressed by bone marrow (BM) stromal cells and plays key roles in BM cell migration. Modulation of its expression could affect the migratory capacity of cells trafficking the BM, such as hematopoietic progenitor and leukemic cells. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is present in the BM environment and constitutes a pivotal molecule controlling BM cell proliferation and differentiation. We used the BM stromal cell line MS-5 as a model to investigate whether SDF-1 expression constitutes a target for TGF-beta1 regulation and its functional consequences. We show here that TGF-beta1 down-regulates SDF-1 expression, both at the mRNA level, involving a decrease in transcriptional efficiency, and at the protein level, as detected in lysates and supernatants from MS-5 cells. Reduction of SDF-1 in supernatants from TGF-beta1-treated MS-5 cells correlated with decreased, SDF-1-dependent, chemotactic, and transendothelial migratory responses of the BM model cell lines NCI-H929 and Mo7e compared with their responses to supernatants from untreated MS-5 cells. In addition, supernatants from TGF-beta1-exposed MS-5 cells had substantially lower efficiency in promoting integrin alpha4beta1-mediated adhesion of NCI-H929 and Mo7e cells to soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and CS-1/fibronectin than their untreated counterparts. Moreover, human cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells displayed SDF-1-dependent reduced responses in chemotaxis, transendothelial migration, and up-regulation of adhesion to sVCAM-1 when supernatants from TGF-beta1-treated MS-5 cells were used compared with supernatants from untreated cells. These data indicate that TGF-beta1-controlled reduction in SDF-1 expression influences BM cell migration and adhesion, which could affect the motility of cells trafficking the bone marrow.
