It has been shown that parathyroid hormone treatment after myocardial infarction improves DPP4 in chemotaxis and cardiovascular disease Frontiers in Immunology | www.frontiersin.org survival and myocardial function with potential involvement of enhanced homing of bone marrow-derived stem cells. demonstrated that parathyroid hormone serves as a DPP4 inhibitor and increases cardiac SDF-1 level, which in turn enhances CXCR4 + bone marrow-derived stem cell homing to ischemic heart and attenuates ischemic cardiomyopathy after infarction (91) . Suppression of DPP4 enzymatic activities by pharmacological inhibitors preserves SDF-1, which results in an enhanced homing of CXCR4 + progenitor cells from bone marrow to infarcted tissues. ./cache/cord-312074-0nqmjdek.txt ./txt/cord-312074-0nqmjdek.txt
