Benefits of technology

This patent is about a new type of stem cell that can be used for transplantation. These stem cells have a high success rate of surviving and integrating into the body after transplantation, which makes them safer and more effective for use in treating a variety of diseases. The patent also describes a method for producing these stem cells and an agent that can improve their survival and engagement with the body after transplantation. Additionally, the patent discusses the use of these stem cells in inducing immunological tolerance, which can help prevent rejection of the transplant and further enhance the stem cells' success rate.

Problems solved by technology

Nonetheless, MSCs present major problems: the cells have an unstable post-transplantation survival rate or engraftment rate and therefore tend to result in graft failure; and their original properties are difficult to maintain over a long period.
Hence, the previous autologous transplantation therapy using MSCs has failed to stably express a therapeutic gene.

Verification of Effect of Improving Survival Rate of MSCs by MSCs Intracellularly Overexpressing IL-10

[0143](Objective)

[0144]The objective is to verify the effect of improving the survival rate of MSCs after the intracellular expression level of IL-10 in MSCs was increased by use of an IL-10 expression plasmid, and an IL-10 concentration in serum.

[0145](Method)

[0146]1. Gene Transfection of MSCs with IL-10 Expression Plasmid DNA

[0147]2 μg of a mouse IL-10 expression plasmid DNA (pW-CAG-mIL-10-WPRE) or a control GFP expression plasmid DNA (pW-CAG-EGFP-WPRE) was mixed with 100 μL of a Nucleofection solution (Human MSC Nucleofector kit, Lonza Group Ltd.) / 5×105 MSCs, and each mixture was used in gene transfection using an Amaxa Nucleofector system (C-17 mode). The pW-CAG-mIL-10-WPRE was prepared by introducing the recombinant mouse IL-10 gene prepared in Comparative Example 2 to the BamHI site of pW-CAG-WPRE. The pW-CAG-EGFP-WPRE was prepared by introducing an EGFP gene to the BamHI site...

[0157]Verification of Effect of Improving Survival Rate and Engraftment Rate by MSCs Overexpressing IL-10

[0158](Objective)

[0159]The objective is to verify the effect of improving the survival rate and engraftment rate of MSCs after the intracellular expression level of IL-10 in the MSCs was increased by use of an IL-10 expression AAV vector.

[0160](Method)

[0161]1. Gene Transfection of MSCs with AAV Vector and Confirmation of Expression

[0162]The recombinant AAV was prepared according to the method described in Comparative Example 2. SD-rat MSCs-Luc was inoculated at 1×105 cells / well to a 24 well-plate (IWAKI / AGC Techno Glass Co., Ltd.) containing a DMED / F-12 (1:1) medium containing 10% FBS. After cell adhesion, an unpurified culture supernatant containing the mouse IL-10 expression AAV vector AAV1-IL-10 or a GFP expression AAV vector AAV1-CAG-EGFP-WPRE(EW) (hereinafter, referred to as “AAV1-GFP”) at 5.0×1010 g.c. was added thereto for the gene transfection of the SD-rat MSCs. After ov...

[0174]Verification of Improvement in Survival Rate and Engraftment Rate in Experiment of Transplantation of MSCs Transduced with IL-10 Expression AAV Vector into Dog

[0175](Objective)

[0176]The objective is to verify, in dogs, the effect of improving the survival and engraftment rates of AAV1-IL-10-introduced MSCs, which was demonstrated in mice.

[0177](Method)

[0178]1. Preparation of Dog Bone Marrow-Derived MSCs

[0179]Donor and recipient dogs were selected from DLA (dog leukocyte antigen)-matched male and female pairs of beagles. As illustrated in FIG. 8, 2 mL of a bone marrow fluid was collected from the fore-leg right and left upper arms of the donor normal dog. The bone marrow fluid was cultured in 2 mL of RPMI-1640 (Life Technologies Corporation) containing 20 U / mL heparin. Monocytes were isolated (1.3×108 cells) under a density gradient using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.). Then, a CD271-positive fraction having the high ability to grow (MSC Research Tool Box-CD271 (LNGFR) c...

Abstract

It is intended to provide MSCs for transplantation that have an improved post-transplantation cell survival rate and engraftment rate and are highly safe with fewer adverse reactions, and a method for conveniently producing MSCs for transplantation having a high cell survival rate and engraftment rate. As means therefor, the present invention provides a stem cell for transplantation comprising an MSC capable of overexpressing IL-10.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a mesenchymal stem cell for transplantation having a high survival rate and engraftment rate in cell transplantation, a method for producing the mesenchymal stem cells for transplantation, and an agent enhancing post-transplantation mesenchymal stem cell engraftment.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Mesenchymal stem cells (hereinafter, also abbreviated to “MSCs” in the present specification) are somatic stem cells having the ability to differentiate into cells belonging to the mesenchyme. MSCs are considered as the most realistic platform for cell transplantation therapy at the moment, on the grounds that, for example, these cells are capable of actively growing and thus facilitate securing the number of cells, are less likely to cause rejection at the time of transplantation, and have low ethical barriers. MSCs are expected to be applied to regenerative medicine such as the regeneration of mesenchymal connective tissue (e.g., bones, blood ves...
