Popis: Hematopoietic cells extend multiple podia of yet unknown function. Our morphological studies using scanning electron microscopy and functional studies using time-lapse video microscopy suggest that podia formed by CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) on the bone marrow stroma component fibronectin are characteristic of lamellipodia at the leading edge and uropodia at the trailing edge, cytoskeletal structures that have previously been shown to be responsible for cell locomotion of lymphocytes. In the leukemic cells studied here, stroma-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) led to a significant eightfold increase in transmigration (BCR-ABL-positive BV173 leukemia cell line;P
