Show abstract
CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12; stromal cell-derived factor 1 [SDF-1]), primarily known for its role in embryogenesis and hematopoiesis, has also been implicated in tumor biology and neovascularization. However, its specific role and mechanism of action remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that CXCL12 expression is Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF)-1 responsive. Here we use a conditional CXCL12 knockout mouse to show that endothelial-specific deletion of CXCL12 (eKO) does not affect embryogenesis, but reduces the survival of ischemic tissue, altering tissue repair and tumor progression. Loss of vascular endothelial CXCL12 disrupts endothelial - fibroblast crosstalk necessary for stromal growth and vascularization. Single-cell gene expression analysis in combination with a parabiosis model reveals a specific population of non-inflammatory circulating cells, defined by genes regulating neovascularization, which is recruited by endothelial CXCL12. These findings indicate an essential role for endothelial CXCL12 expression during the adult neovascular response in tissue injury and tumor progression.
