ABSTRACT: Background
Bone marrow (BM) is progressively filled with adipocytes during aging process. Thus, BM adipocytes-derived adiponectin (APN) affects the function of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, little is known about the effect of APN on migration ability of BMSCs cultured under hypoxic conditions, which is similar to the BM microenvironment.Results
We found that the population and migration ability of BMSCs from APN KO mice was higher than that of WT mice due to increased stability of hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF1α). Stem cell factor (SCF)-activated STAT3 stimulated the induction of HIF1α which further stimulated SCF production, indicating that the SCF/STAT3/HIF1α positive loop was highly activated in the absence of APN. It implies that APN ne
