Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known for homing to sites of injury in response to signals of cellular damage. However, the mechanisms of how cytokines recruit stem cells to target tissue are still unclear. In this study, we found that the proinflammation cytokine interleukin-1<i>β</i> (IL-1<i>β</i>) promotes mesenchymal stem cell migration. The cDNA microarray data show that IL-1<i>β</i> induces matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression. We then used quantitative real-time PCR and MMP-1 E ...[more]
