Evidence is mounting that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) play a critical role in bone marrow regeneration and tissue renewal, for which migration is an obvious prerequisite. Computer-aided analysis and a three-dimensional collagen matrix assay enabled us to analyze single-cell migratory characteristics of stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1 alpha)-stimulated cord blood-derived HSCs. We defined and resolved specific migratory parameters in spontaneous and SDF-1 alpha-induced migration of these cells. The addition of interleukin 6 to the culture medium led to differential SDF-1 alpha-stimulated migratory response, which comprised a recruitment of nonmoving cells and an increase in speed and frequency of pauses but a decrease in pause duration. We were thus able to decipher the exact parameters that result in an increase in the migration of HSCs and demonstrate that extensive analysis of single-cell behavior is elementary in the study of stem cell migration.
