Benefits of technology

[0012]Still another object of the present invention is to provide the use of stem cells derived from the decidua of the placenta or menstrual fluid or stem cells derived from adipose for preventing or treating urinary incontinence.

Problems solved by technology

However, stem cells are very rarely present in adult tissues, such as bone marrow, and such cells are difficult to culture without inducing differentiation, and thus difficult to culture in the absence of specifically screened media.
Namely, it is very difficult to maintain the isolated stem cells in vitro.
Meanwhile, urinary incontinence in women is caused by sagging of the urethra and bladder, which results from weakening of pelvic floor muscles arising from pudendal nerve injury due to frequent childbirth and aging.
Thus, female urinary incontinence is becoming one of serious social problem worldwide.
Currently, the surgical therapy which is an invasive method has a problem in that complications can occur, and the injection therapy has problems in that it employs expensive substances, and thus cannot be easily applied to all patients, and in that it has a success rate of only 50-60%, such that injection and surgery are required again.
However, there is no study on the use of stem cells for treating urinary incontinence.

Isolation and Culture of Stem Cells According to the Present Invention

(1) Isolation and Culture of Placental Decidua-Derived Stem Cells

[0090]The decidua was isolated from the placenta in the following manner according to the method described in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0101756A filed in the name of the applicant. Specifically, the placentas were collected from normal births and premature births in Guro Hospital, Korea University Medical Center, according to the Institutional Review Board Guidelines of Korea University Medical Center and used for research purposes. The placenta tissues were transferred to the laboratory in a state in which it was contained in physiological saline containing an antibiotic. The placenta tissues transferred to the laboratory were washed with PBS to remove blood cells and various other tissues, or the tissues were treated with hemolysis buffer to remove blood cells, or each of amnion, chorion, decidua and placental bed tissues constituting t...

Examination of Proliferation Rate of Placental Decidua-Derived Stem Cells

[0093]The proliferation rate of the stem cells obtained according to the above-described method of proliferating the human placental decidua tissue-derived multipotent stem cells, was examined. Placental decidua-derived stem cells resulting from the placental decidua tissue samples of different human individuals were obtained through the isolation method described in Example 1, and then seeded into a 75-flask at a density of 2×105 cells.

[0094]CPDL is an index indicative of the proliferation rate of cells and expressed as the following equation:

CPDL=ln(Nf / Ni) / ln2

wherein, Ni: the initial number of seeded cells; and Nf: the final number of cells.

[0095]The CPDL of the decidua-derived stem cells and was observed according to passage number and, as a result, the cells showed a CPDL value of about 30 at passage 12. This CPDL value was similar to that of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (Lin et al., stem cells a...

Immunological Characteristics of Placental Decidua-Derived Multipotent Stem Cells

[0096]The placental decidua-derived multipotent stem cells obtained in Example 1 were washed with PBS and treated with trypsin. Then, the cells were collected and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. After the supernatant was discarded, the cells were suspended in PBS and dispensed into each well at a cell density of 1×105 cells. An antibody (R-phycoerythrin-conjugated mouse anti-human monoclonal antibody) was placed into each well, and the cells were incubated at 4° C. for 40 minutes. After the incubation, the cell broth was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. After the supernatant was removed, the cells were washed with PBS and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. Then, after the supernatant was removed, the cells were washed with PBS and centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes. After the supernatant was removed, the cells were fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde and analyzed using a flow cytometer. A...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cellular therapeutic agent for treating urinary incontinence, and more particularly to a cellular therapeutic agent for treating urinary incontinence, which contains stem cells derived from the decidua of the placenta or menstrual fluid or stem cells derived from adipose. The decidua-derived stem cells or adipose-derived stem cells show the effects of increasing leak point pressure and urethral sphincter contractility, and thus are useful as an agent for treating urinary incontinence.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cellular therapeutic agent for treating urinary incontinence, and more particularly to a cellular therapeutic agent for treating urinary incontinence, which contains stem cells derived from the decidua of the placenta or menstrual fluid or stem cells derived from adipose tissue.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Stem cells refer to cells having not only self-replication ability but also the ability to differentiate into at least two cells, and can be divided into totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells, and multipotent stem cells.[0003]Totipotent stem cells are cells with totipotent properties capable of developing into one perfect individual, and these properties are possessed by cells up to the 8-cell stage after the fertilization of an oocyte and a sperm. When these cells are isolated and transplanted into the uterus, they can develop into one perfect individual. Pluripotent stem cells, which are cells capable of developing into vari...
