Our previous study indicated that systemically transplanted dermal multipotent cells (DMCs) were recruited more frequently to bone morrow (BM) of rats with sublethal irradiation than that of normal rats, and the interactions between stromal-derived factor (SDF-1) and its receptor (CXC chemokine receptor 4, CXCR4) played an important role in this process. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether CXCR4 gene transfer could promote the distribution of DMCs into irradiated BM and accelerate its function recovery. Firstly, adenovirus vector of CXCR4 (Adv-CXCR4) and green fluorescent protein (Adv-GFP) were constructed. Then male DMCs infected by Adv-CXCR4 (group A), or infected by Adv-GFP (group B), and non-infected DMCs (group C) were transplanted into irradiated female rats, and real-time polymerase chain reaction for the sex-determining region of Y chromosome was employed to determined the amount of DMCs in BM. The functional recovery of BM was examined by hematopoietic progenitor colonies assay. The results showed that the amount of DMCs in BM of group A was greater than that in group B and group C from day 5 after injury (P &lt; 0.05), and the amount of CFU-F, CFU-E and CFU-GM were greater than that in group B and group C from day 14 after injury (P &lt; 0.05). These findings suggest that DMCs infected by Adv-CXCR4 distributed more frequently to the bone marrow of sublethally irradiated rats and could accelerate hematopoiesis function recovery.
