Problems solved by technology

[0002] Malignant gliomas are extremely difficult to treat with current therapies due to treatment resistance arising from brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) that infiltrate extensively into the brain parenchyma
Suicide gene therapy using viral vectors is expected to be effective due to the bystander effect, but the results of clinical trials are limited due to insufficient diffusion into infiltrating tumor cells

[0107] [Example 1] Suicide gene cell therapy for glioma cells

[0108] (A) Materials and methods

[0109]

[0110] The human iPS cells (1210B2) used were obtained from the iPS Cell Research Institute (CiRA), Kyoto University. 1210B2 A method for introducing reprogramming factors into human peripheral blood mononuclear cells by using episomal vectors (Okita K, Yamakawa T, Matsumura Y, Sato Y, Amano N, Watanabe A, Goshima N, Yamanaka S. An efficient nonviral method to generate integration-free human-induced pluripotent stemcells from cord blood and peripheral blood cells. Stem Cells. 2013 Mar; 31(3):458-66.) and constructed. Human iPS cells were seeded on plastic culture dishes coated with iMatrix-511 (manufactured by Nippi Co., Ltd.), using StemFit AK03 or AK03N medium (manufactured by Ajinomoto Co., Ltd.) by a known feeder-free method (Nakagawa M, Taniguchi Y, Senda S, Takizawa N, Ichisaka T, Asano K, Morizane A, Doi D, Takahashi J, Nishizawa M, Yoshida Y, Toyoda T, Osafun...

Embodiment 2

[0195] [Example 2] Suicide gene cell therapy for glioma stem cells

[0196]

[0197] Human glioma stem cells were transplanted into the right striatum (2 mm to the right of bregma and 3 mm from the brain surface) of T cell-deficient mice (female BALB / c nude mice, 20 g, 6 weeks) after general anesthesia Strain hG008-ffLuc 5×10 5 cells / 2μl, transplanted yCD-UPRT expressing TSCs (using CRISPR / Cas9 to introduce yCD-UPRT into iPS cells) 1×10 at the same site after 45 days 6 each / 2μl. Seven days later, after the tumor was confirmed by the IVIS in vivo imaging system, the treatment group was intraperitoneally administered 5-FC (10 mg / ml) with 500 μl once / day for 2 weeks (TSC(+) / 5-FC(+) 5mg / day, n=8). The control group 1 was similarly administered with 500 µl of 1M PBS for 2 weeks (control group 1: TSC(+) / 5-FC(-), n=7). In addition, a group transplanted with only hG008-ffLuc was also prepared as another control group, and 5-FC (10 mg / ml) was intraperitoneally administered with ...

Abstract

With a view to establishing a novel therapeutic measure for brain tumors, the present invention provides a cell preparation for the treatment of brain tumors, which is to be used concurrently with a prodrug that is capable of being converted into 5-fluorouracil by a cytosine deaminase, and which is characterized by comprising a neural stem cell derived from a pluripotent stem cell having a cytosine deaminase gene and an uracil phosphoribosyltransferase gene.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cell preparation for treating brain tumors and a method for producing neural stem cells used in the cell preparation. Background technique [0002] Malignant gliomas are extremely difficult to treat with current therapies due to therapy resistance arising from brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) that infiltrate extensively into the brain parenchyma. Suicide gene therapy using viral vectors is expected to be effective due to the bystander effect, but the results of clinical trials are limited due to insufficient diffusion into infiltrating tumor cells. Recently, it has been clarified that neural stem cells (neural stem cells, NSCs) have the property of migrating and accumulating in brain tumor stem cells, and attempts to use neural stem cells as cell carriers (vehicles) in suicide gene therapy have attracted attention. In addition, a technique related to suicide gene therapy using mesenchymal stem cells having properties s...
