Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of stem cells. Specifically, the present invention provides a preparation of islet cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells and a method for preparing the same, which can be used to treat insulin deficiency-related diseases by injection through the hepatic portal vein or under the rectus sheath. Background Art

[0002] β-cell (BC) transplantation may offer a definitive cure for type 1 diabetes. However, the limited availability of donor β-cells restricts the use of this treatment as a clinical therapy. Pluripotent (PS) cells can proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into multiple cell types. Therefore, PS cells are a promising source of β-cells. Islet cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells are cell spheres with a cell diameter greater than 50 μm obtained by directing the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. Currently, there is no report on formulating islet cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells into a preparation. After the directed differentiation of stem cell-derived islet cells is completed in a cell factory, they need to be transported to a medical institution for transplantation of islet cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells, and the problem of decreased cell viability will be faced during transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The preparation of islet cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells provided by the present invention is easy to transport over long distances, can maintain the structure and biological activity of islet cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells during long-distance transportation, and can be used to prepare an injection; it is particularly suitable for treating insulin deficiency-related diseases by injection through the hepatic portal vein or under the rectus sheath after long-distance transportation. After the preparation is formulated into an injection, the finished product meets the requirements of injections such as sterility, pyrogen-free, safety, and stability.

Use of the pancreatic islet cell preparation derived from human pluripotent stem cells according to any one of claims 1 to 9 in the preparation of a drug for treating insulin deficiency; Preferably, the drug is a portal vein injection or a subrectus sheath injection preparation, and more preferably, the drug is an anterior subrectus sheath injection preparation.

12. Use of a human pluripotent stem cell-derived pancreatic islet cell preservation composition in long-distance transportation, wherein the preservation composition is the component other than the human pluripotent stem cell-derived pancreatic islet cells in the preparation according to any one of claims 1 to 9, and the long-distance transportation temperature is 4° C. to 37° C.; and the transportation time does not exceed 96 hours; The long-distance transport temperature is preferably 4°C, 10°C, 16°C, 22°C, 28°C, 37°C; The transport time is preferably no more than 96 hours, 48 ​​hours, 36 hours, 24 hours, 20 hours, 16 hours, 12 hours, 8 hours, 6 hours or 4 hours.
