Exploiting cell homing for treating acute myocardial infarction. A) Signaling pathway related to stem cell homing to ischemic tissue. G-CSF promoted cell mobilization and Diprotin A (Dip) inhibited SDF-1 protease, thereby maintaining the stability of cell homing factor SDF-1 released from ischemic tissue. B) G-CSF and Dip dual treatment led to significantly increased myocardial stem cells detected in the ischemic tissue. C) G-CSF and Dip dual treatment increased mouse survival after myocardial infarction. Reproduced with permission from ref 63.
