Abstract
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) circulate under steady-state conditions at detectable levels in peripheral blood (PB). The phenomenon of enforced release of HSPCs from BM into PB is called mobilization and may be envisioned as a danger-sensing response mechanism triggered by hypoxia or mechanical- or infection-induced tissue damage and is a part of stress response. It is unquestionable that the a-chemokine stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1)—CXCR4 axis plays crucial role in retention of HSPCs in BM. However, all factors that direct mobilization of HSPCs into PB and homing back to the BM or their allocation to damaged organs are not characterized very well. In this chapter we will present mounting evidence that elements of innate immunity such as complement cascade (CC) cleavage fragments (e.g., C3a and C5a), granulocytes, generation of membrane attack complex (MAC) together with sphingosine-1 phosphate (S1P) orchestrate HSPC mobilization. On other hand some other bioactive lipids e.g., ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) that is released from damaged/“leaky” cells in BM after myeloablative conditioning for transplant may play an opposite important role in homing of HSPCs to BM. Finally, the chemotactic activity of all chemoattractants for HSPCs including SDF-1, S1P and C1P is enhanced in presence of CC cleavage fragments (e.g., C3a) and MAC that is a final product of CC activation.
