摘要
The migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteogenic differentiation occupy an important role in fracture healing. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a widely distributed inflammatory factor in fractures, has been confirmed to act as a chemoattractant to MSCs. To investigate the effect of HMGB1 on MSC migration and the underlying mechanism, the synthesis of MSC chemokines, and the consequent activation of signaling pathways following HMGB1 stimulation, were evaluated. A Quantibody (R) array was performed to determine which chemokines were secreted from MSCs with or without treatment with HMGB1. The results indicated differential chemokine synthesis by MSCs following treatment with HMGB1, including that of CCL4 and CCL13. In addition, the Ras-associated protein-1 (Rap1) signaling pathway was markedly activated in the HMGB1-treated groups, suggesting that HMGB1 may enhance the migrational ability of MSCs via Rap1 activation. Furthermore, HMGB1 was able to promote the secretion of various chemokines derived from MSCs, which would, in turn, increase the mobility of MSCs. Taken together, these results provide a mechanistic basis for developing novel approaches to promote fracture healing.
