Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used for myocardial repair following myocardial infarction. Increased expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) by an ischemic myocardium attracts CXCR4+ stem cells toward it. CXCR4, the receptor for SDF-1, is important in the migration, homing, and survival of hematopoietic stem cells. Although low levels of CXCR4 expression were found in minor subpopulations of cultured MSCs, most MSCs do not express CXCR4. To optimize the migration and survival of human MSCs, we expressed the CXCR4 gene in these cells using retroviral transduction.
