Figure 1 Impact of parathyroid hormone on mobilization and homing of bone marrow-derived stem cells. Left axis: PTH administration results in mobilization of BMCs from bone marrow into peripheral blood via endogenous release of G-CSF. Right axis: PTH results in down-regulation of DPPIV, which inhibits inactivation of SDF-1 and therefore promotes homing of CXCR4+ BMCs. PTH: Parathyroid hormone; BMCs: Bone marrow-derived stem cells; G-CSF: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; SDF-1: Stromal de-rived factor-1.
