Problems solved by technology

However, the existing directed differentiation methods have one or more of the following defects: such as low differentiation efficiency, low transformation purity, lack of function of differentiated hepatocytes, possible immune rejection, and potential cancer risk due to incomplete differentiation of stem cells And the high cost, etc., cannot meet the clinical needs
Fibrotic diseases caused by abnormal fibroblasts or fibroblasts, such as liver cirrhosis (hepatic fibrosis), currently lack effective therapeutic drugs and means in clinical practice, and it is urgent to develop effective new methods and new drugs

Abstract

The invention relates to a chemical small molecule composition and a method for chemically inducing in-vitro and in-vivo fibroblasts to be directly reprogrammed (transdifferentiated) into hepatocytesonly by using chemical small molecules (small molecules for short) without introducing any exogenous gene / transcription factor / MicroRNA gene, RNA, protein, polypeptide and other inducible factors. Themicromolecule composition induces fibroblasts to be transdifferentiated into hepatocytes in vitro or chemically induces in-situ fibroblasts to be transdifferentiated into hepatocytes in vivo, fibrosis of fibrotic tissues or organs is reduced or reduced through the in-situ transdifferentiation effect of the hepatocytes in vivo, and the effect of treating fibrotic diseases such as hepatic fibrosis / liver cirrhosis is achieved. The small molecule composition can be added with a drug carrier and an excipient to prepare a drug or a prodrug for treating fibrotic diseases, or added with normal saline, a buffer solution, a cell basal culture medium and the like to prepare a transdifferentiation reagent or a culture medium; the obtained transdifferentiated hepatocytes can provide hepatocyte sourcesfor scientific research, medicine, clinical hepatocyte transplantation and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the interdisciplinary fields of cell biology, stem cell biology (cell reprogramming), medicine, and pharmacy; more specifically, the present invention relates to a method that does not introduce or use any exogenous gene / transcription factor / MiRNA (miRNA) gene, Or its gene combined with a carrier, or its RNA, protein, polypeptide and other induction factors, does not use any cytokines or growth factors, only chemical small molecules (small molecules for short) combination, chemically induce fibroblasts in vivo and in vitro to directly regenerate Chemical small molecule compositions and methods for programming (transdifferentiation) into hepatocytes. Background technique [0002] China is a country with a large number of liver diseases. There are a large number of patients with hepatitis A, hepatitis B, fatty liver, alcoholic liver, liver cirrhosis (liver fibrosis), and acute and chronic liver failure caused by various l...
