The chemokine stromal-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) and its receptor CXCR4 are critically involved in directional migration and homing of plasma cells in multiple myeloma. Here, we show that the expression of SDF-1alpha and CXCR4 was significantly down-regulated in patients treated with thalidomide (n=10) as compared to newly diagnosed MM patients (n=31) and MM patients treated with other drugs (n=38). SDF-1 alpha and CXCR4 expression was also significantly decreased in a RPMI 8226 cell line treated with 10 and 20micromol/L of thalidomide. Our findings indicate that thalidomide therapy induces down-regulation of CXCR4 and its ligand SDF-1alpha in multiple myeloma.
趋化因子基质细胞衍生因子-1α(SDF-1α)及其受体CXCR4在多发性骨髓瘤中对浆细胞的定向迁移和归巢起着关键作用。在此,我们发现,与新诊断的骨髓瘤患者(n = 31)和接受其他药物治疗的骨髓瘤患者(n = 38)相比,接受沙利度胺治疗的患者(n = 10)中SDF-1α和CXCR4的表达显著下调。在用10和20微摩尔/升沙利度胺处理的RPMI 8226细胞系中,SDF-1α和CXCR4表达也显著降低。我们的研究结果表明,沙利度胺治疗可诱导多发性骨髓瘤中CXCR4及其配体SDF-1α的下调。
