Effects of rhG-CSF mobilization on the polarization and migration of donor's CD4(+)T lymphocytes / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

The polarization and migration of T lymphocytes involves the adhesive interaction of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1(LFA-1) with its ligand intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). This study was aimed to investigate the effects of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) mobilization on the polarization and migration of donor's CD4(+) T cells in peripheral blood. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from 10 healthy volunteers and 10 donors on the fifth day of mobilization with rhG-CSF. And the CD4(+)T cells were purified by miniMACS. The polarization and migration of CD4(+) T cells activated by stroma cell-derived factor -1α (SDF-1α) and ICAM-1 were detected by using inverted and confocal microscopes respectively. The results showed that the percentage of polarized CD4(+)T cells from donors(32.42 ± 4.91)% was lower than that from healthy controls(56.55 ± 5.35)% (P < 0.01), the migration velocity of CD4(+)T cells from donors (7.06 ± 1.44 µm/min) was also lower than that of healthy controls(9.05 ± 1.91 µm/min)(P < 0.01). It is concluded that the polarization and migration of CD4(+)T lymphocytes is impaired after rhG-CSF mobilization.
