As shown by real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR ), EPC stimulation by SFLLRN significantly enhanced the mRNA expression of SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR-4

The inhibition of EPC subpopulation senescence and induction of EPC subpopulation proliferation by SDF-1alpha in vitro may importantly improve the functional activity of EPC subpopulation for potential cell therapy
Chen et al., Clin Exp Nephrol 2013
(Kidney Failure, Chronic...) :
A link between CKD and increased mononuclear cell apoptosis ( MCA ) in circulation has been reported but the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and stromal cell derived factor (SDF)-1a , two angiogenesis factors, on circulating EPC levels in CKD has not been clarified
