Endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are mobilized into peripheral blood and injured tissues by various growth factors and cytokines that are expressed in the injured tissues, such as substance P (SP), stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β). Extracellular bioactive lipid metabolites such as ceramide-1-phosphate and sphingosine-1-phosphate also modulate BM-MSC migration as SP, SDF-1, and TGF-β. However, the roles of intrinsic lipid kinases of BM-MSCs in the stem cell migration are unclear. Here, we demonstrated that ceramide kinase mediates the chemotactic migration of BM-MSCs in response to SP, SDF-1, or TGF-β. Furthermore, a specific inhibitor of ceramide kinase inhibited TGF-β-induced migration of BM-MSCs and N-cadherin that is necessary for BM-MSCs migration in response to TGF-β. Therefore, these results suggest that the intracellular ceramide kinase is required for the BM-MSCs migration and the roles of the intrinsic ceramide kinase in the migration are associated with N-cadherin regulation.
内源性骨髓间充质干细胞(BM-MSCs)通过各种生长因子和细胞因子从外周血和损伤组织中动员,这些生长因子和细胞因子在损伤组织中表达,如 P 物质(SP)、基质细胞衍生因子-1(SDF-1)和转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)。细胞外生物活性脂质代谢物,如神经酰胺-1-磷酸和鞘氨醇-1-磷酸,也像 SP、SDF-1 和 TGF-β 一样调节 BM-MSC 的迁移。然而,BM-MSCs 中内在脂质激酶在干细胞迁移中的作用尚不清楚。在这里,我们证明神经酰胺激酶介导 BM-MSC 对 SP、SDF-1 或 TGF-β 的趋化迁移。此外,神经酰胺激酶的特异性抑制剂抑制 TGF-β诱导的 BM-MSC 迁移和 N-钙粘蛋白,N-钙粘蛋白是 BM-MSC 对 TGF-β 迁移所必需的。因此,这些结果表明细胞内神经酰胺激酶是 BM-MSCs 迁移所必需的,内在神经酰胺激酶在迁移中的作用与 N-钙粘蛋白的调节有关。
