目的　探讨CXCR4在多发性骨髓瘤 (MM)细胞上的表达和CXCR4 SDF 1α相互作用对MM肿瘤细胞生物行为及ICAM 1表达的影响。方法　采用免疫荧光标记和流式细胞仪表型检测分析MM细胞上CXCR4和粘附分子的表达 ;采用体外微孔隔离室实验进行SDF 1诱导的MM细胞迁移实验 ;ELISA方法测定血浆中sICAM 1的水平。结果　①新鲜MM细胞及MM细胞株不同程度地表达功能性CXCR4 [(5 0 .4± 2 7.3) % ],其表达水平与体外对SDF 1α诱导的迁移能力 [(2 3.6± 17.2 ) % ]密切相关 (P <0 .0 1) ;②SDF 1α可上调MM细胞表达粘附分子ICAM 1,ICAM 1的表达和可溶性ICAM 1的产生与CXCR4表达有一定相关性。结论　SDF 1α CXCR4对介导粘附分子的调节效应在MM细胞的生物行为中起重要的作用。

Expression of CXCR4 and its effect on the biological behavior of multiple myeloma cells

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of stromal cell derived factor-1alpha(SDF-1alpha) expression and its receptor CXCR4 on the biological behavior of multiple myeloma (MM) cells and on the expression of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). METHODS: FACS analysis was used to study the expression of ICAM-1 (CD(54)) and CXCR4 on the surface of MM cells. Chemotaxis assay through transwell bore polycaronate and ELISA assay were employed to monitor the soluble ICAM-1 level. RESULTS: (1) Fresh MM cells expressed variable levels of functional CXCR4 [(50.4 +/- 27.3)%], which was correlated with the in vitro ability of transwell migration of MM cells [(23.6 +/- 17.2)%, P < 0.01]. (2) SDF-1alpha could up-regulate the expression of ICAM-1 on MM cells. Furthermore, the serum level of sICAM-1 was correlated with the expression of CXCR4 on MM cells. CONCLUSION: SDF-1alpha/CXCR4 plays an important role on the biological behavior of MM cells via mediating the effect of adhesion molecules.
