Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of stem cell culture, and particularly relates to an induction medium for increasing the secretion amount of interleukin-10 of mesenchymal stem cells and its application. Background Art

[0002] Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are important members of the stem cell family. They are a type of adult stem cells with self-renewal ability and multi-directional differentiation potential. They are derived from the mesoderm in the early stage of development and mainly exist in bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord tissue and other parts. MSCs were initially discovered in bone marrow and have attracted increasing attention due to their characteristics such as multi-directional differentiation potential, hematopoietic support and promotion of stem cell implantation, immune regulation and self-replication.

[0003] Among them, MSCs have important application potential in immune regulation because they can inhibit immune responses through various mechanisms, thus showing potential therapeutic effects in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, organ transplantation rejection reactions and inflammatory diseases. For example, MSCs can inhibit the proliferation and activation of T cells by secreting soluble factors (such as transforming growth factor-β, interleukin-10, etc.) or direct cell-cell contact. The secretion of interleukin-10 (IL-10) by MSCs is an important aspect of their immune regulation function. IL-10 is a powerful anti-inflammatory factor that can inhibit the activation and proliferation of various immune cells, thereby reducing the inflammatory response.

[0004] However, there are also some potential drawbacks and challenges in the process of MSCs secreting IL-10. Under in vitro culture conditions, MSCs usually secrete a certain amount of IL-10, and the secretion level of IL-10 can vary depending on the source of MSCs, culture conditions, cell status, and the presence of stimulating factors (such as inflammatory mediators, cytokines, etc.). Under normal circumstances, the level of IL-10 secreted by MSCs is relatively low, but when MSCs encounter inflammatory signals or immune cells, they may increase the secretion of IL-10 to exert their immunomodulatory effects. This increase may be due to MSCs responding to signals in the surrounding environment, such as inflammatory factors like TNF-α and IFN-γ, which can induce MSCs to secrete more IL-10 and other anti-inflammatory factors. In practical applications, researchers may use different methods to enhance the ability of MSCs to secrete IL-10, such as enhancing the expression of IL-10 through genetic engineering means, or inducing MSCs to secrete more IL-10 through specific culture conditions. However, the process of genetic engineering means is complex, involves a large number of exogenous substances, is difficult to control, and there are doubts about its clinical application safety; the method of inducing MSCs to secrete more IL-10 through specific culture conditions, such as adding TNF-α, IFN-γ, etc. in the culture medium, has a high production cost of protein factors (the selling price per milligram is generally over a thousand yuan, directly affecting the cost of cell preparation), and the stimulation of protein factors will, to a certain extent, affect the proliferation ability of MSCs and promote cell senescence and other problems. Therefore, providing a method to increase the IL-10 secretion of mesenchymal stem cells, while not affecting the proliferation ability of MSCs, is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to provide a method that can both increase the IL-10 secretion of mesenchymal stem cells and not affect the proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells, the present invention uses a basal medium containing human IFN-γ mimetic peptide and TNF-α mimetic peptide to induce the amplified human mesenchymal cells, and then obtains mesenchymal stem cells with increased IL-10 secretion after harvest culture.
