Mechanisms of stem cell mobilization. (A) Serum levels of CXCL12 in septic shock patients and healthy volunteers. (B) Plasma concentrations of S1P in septic shock and in controls. (C) The chemotactic activity of septic plasma was evaluated using a Transwell migration assay on human bone marrow cells. The migration of all nucleated cells, CD34+CD38− HSCs and CD34+CD38+ HPCs was analyzed. The results were normalized to the number of cells that migrated to the normal human plasma (n = 5). (D) Migration of bone marrow cells that were preincubated in 100 nM S1P or medium only for 60 minutes before the chemotaxis assay. The concentration of mediators was compared using Mann-Whitney U test (A,B) and comparisons between multiple groups were performed using Anova with Dunnet’s multiple comparison test (C,D) *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001.
