Description
Plerixafor is a hematopoietic stem cell mobilizer. It works by moving certain blood cells from the bone marrow to the blood so that those cells can be removed for transplant. Plerixafor is an inhibitor of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor. It blocks the binding of its cognate ligand, stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α). SDF-1α & CXCR4 play a role in the trafficking & homing of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to the marrow compartment. Once in the marrow, stem cell CXCR4 can help anchor these cells to the marrow matrix, either directly via SDF-1α or through the induction of other adhesion molecules. Treatment with Plerixafor resulted in leukocytosis and elevations in circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells in humans. CD34+ cells mobilized by Plerixafor are capable of engraftment with a long-term repopulating capacity of up to one year in canine transplantation models.
