The chemokine stromal-cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) chemoattracts lymphocytes and
CD34+ haematopoietic progenitors and is the ligand for CXCR4 (CXC chemokine receptor
4), the main co-receptor for T-tropic HIV-1 strains. SDF-1α was NH2-terminally cleaved to
SDF-1α (3-68) by dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (CD26/DPP IV), which is present in blood in
soluble and membrane-bound form. SDF-1α (3-68) lost both lymphocyte chemotactic and
CXCR4-signaling properties. However, SDF-1α (3-68) still desensitized the SDF-1α (1-68) …

SDF-1α(3-68) lost both lymphocyte chemotactic and CXCR4-signaling properties. However, SDF-1α(3-68) still desensitized the SDF-1α(1-68)-induced Ca2+ response. In contrast to CD26/DPP IV-processed RANTES(3-68), SDF-1α(3-68) had diminished potency to inhibit HIV-1 infection. Thus, CD26/DPP IV impairs the inflammatory and haematopoietic potency of chemokines but plays a dual role in AIDS.
