Here, we report that RBP-J, the critical transcription factor mediatingNotchsignaling,modulatesEPCthroughCXCR4.Inamousepartialhepatectomy(PHx)model,RBP-Jdeficient EPCshowedattenuatedcapacitiesofhomingandfacilitatingliverregeneration.Inrestingmice,theconditionaldeletionof RBP-JledtoadecreaseofBMEPC,withaconcomitantincreaseofEPCintheperipheralblood.Thiswasaccompaniedbya down-regulation of CXCR4 on EPC in BM, although CXCR4 expression on EPC in thecirculation was up-regulated in the absence of RBP-J. PHx in RBP-J deficient mice induced stronger EPC mobilization. In vitro, RBP-J deficient EPC showed loweredcapacitiesofadhering,migrating,andformingvessel-likestructuresinthree-dimensionalcultures.Over-expression ofCXCR4couldatleastrescuethedefectsinvesselformationbytheRBP-JdeficientEPC.Thesedatasuggestedthatthe RBP-J-mediatedNotchsignalingregulatedEPCmobilizationandfunction,atleastpartiallythroughdynamicmodulationof CXCR4 expression. Our findingsnot onlyprovide newinsights into theregulation ofEPC, but also haveimplications for clinicaltherapiesusingEPCindiseases.
