[Effects of SDF-1 alpha and its receptor on regulation of hematopoiesis].

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell transplantation is one of main choices for treating patients with malignant tumor or heredity diseases in recently year. The homing of hematopoietic stem cells(HSC) is a committed step to ensure the bone marrow hematopoiesis reconstitution. Recent studies have showed that stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor has important effects on proliferation, differentiation, homing of HSC to bone marrow and hematopoiesis reconstitution. The purpose of this review is to give a recent update informations on mechanism of hematopoiesis regulation mediated by SDF-1 and its receptor.
