Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bioengineering and biomedicine technology, and in particular to a small molecule compound and its application in in vitro amplification of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and / or hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). Background Art

[0002] Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective method widely used in the clinic to treat a variety of malignant and non-malignant blood system and other related diseases. It has been used to treat more than 200 diseases. The indications mainly include various types of leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, pernicious anemia, etc., as well as some non-hematological diseases including but not limited to AIDS, leukoencephalopathy and metabolic diseases. There are three main sources of hematopoietic stem cells available for clinical transplantation: bone marrow, mobilized peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood. Compared with hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow and peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells have many advantages: rapid donor effect, relatively low HLA matching stringency, low incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), low viral infection rate and low relapse rate in patients with minimal residual disease. The limited number of functional hematopoietic stem cells is the main obstacle to the wider application of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the clinical treatment of related diseases. One of the effective ways to solve this key problem is to expand hematopoietic stem cells in vitro.

[0003] In vitro expansion is a potential method to solve the limitation of limited hematopoietic stem cells in a single umbilical cord blood unit. In order to effectively realize the gene editing of hematopoietic stem cells to treat blood system-related diseases, the establishment of an in vitro expansion system of hematopoietic stem cells is also of great significance. In vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells can provide enough stem cells for genetic engineering modification for immunotherapy of various cancer patients. Although a series of preliminary progress has been made in the research related to in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells, so far no mature and reliable in vitro expansion method of hematopoietic stem cells has been approved by the FDA for clinical use. One of the possible main reasons is that we have insufficient understanding of the regulatory mechanism of maintaining the stemness of functional hematopoietic stem cells under the stress conditions of in vitro culture expansion, and there is a lack of a reliable screening system for functional hematopoietic stem cells.

[0004] Small molecule compounds are easily absorbed by cells, and the method of treating cells with small molecules can detect many proteins or signaling pathways with biological functions. At present, studies have reported that some small molecule compounds can be used for in vitro expansion of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells, including diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB), LG1506 (retinoic acid receptor antagonist), GW9662 (PPARG antagonist), SR1 (AhR antagonist), UM171, LSD inhibitor, BIO (GSK3β inhibitor), NR-101 (c-MPL agonist), HDAC inhibitor (trichostatin A and valproic acid), garcinol (GAR), nicotinamide riboside (NR), CPI-203 (BET inhibitor), of which the main two are SR1 and UM171.

[0005] The effectiveness of small molecule compounds for in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells that are already under development, such as SR1 and UM171, has not yet been widely recognized. Therefore, new small molecule compounds are urgently needed to expand hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells to provide effective treatments for patients in need of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
