Abstract excerpt
Constitutive mobilization of CD34(+) cells in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) has been attributed to proteolytic disruption of the CXCR4/SDF-1 axis and reduced CXCR4 expression. We document here that the number of circulating CD34(+)/CXCR4(+) cells in PMF patients, as well as the cellular CXCR4 expression, was directly related to CXCR4 mRNA level and that reduced CXCR4 mRNA level was not due to...
