Endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells are mobilized to peripheral blood and injured tissues in response to changes in the expression of various growth factors and cytokines in the injured tissues, including substance P (SP), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-&beta:), and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). SP, TGF-&beta:, and SDF-1 are all known to induce the migration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). However, it is not yet clear how these stimuli influence or interact with each other during BM-MSC mobilization. This study used mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell-like ST2 cells and human BM-MSCs to evaluate whether SP, TGF-&beta:, and SDF-1 mutually regulate their respective effects on the mobilization of BM-MSCs. SP pretreatment of ST2 and BM-MSCs impaired their response to TGF-&beta: while the introduction of SP receptor antagonist restored the mobilization of ST2 and BM-MSCs in response to TGF-&beta:. TGF-&beta: pretreatment did not affect the migration of ST2 and BM-MSCs in response to SP, but downregulated their migration in response to SDF-1. SP pretreatment modulated the activation of TGF-&beta: noncanonical pathways in ST2 cells and BM-MSCs, but not canonical pathways. These results suggest that the migration of mesenchymal stem cells is regulated by complex functional interactions between SP, TGF-&beta:, and SDF-1. Thus, understanding the complex functional interactions of these chemotactic stimuli would contribute to ensuring the development of safe and effective combination treatments for the mobilization of BM-MSCs.
