[0004] Stem cells can differentiate into various types of cells. Stem cells are a collective term for undifferentiated cells that have the ability to undergo specific differentiation. They can differentiate into specific cells depending on factors and / or the environment. Types of stem cells include embryonic stem cells. embryonic stem cell, embryonic germ cell germ cell), adult stem cell, cancer stem cell ( In recent years, stem cells that can differentiate into various types of cells have become It can be used to regenerate damaged tissue, treat cartilage damage, diabetes, leukemia, neurological disorders, heart disease, spinal cord There is active research being conducted to treat various diseases, including trauma and fibrotic disorders. This has led to research being conducted to try to differentiate stem cells into specific cell types. In addition, we have developed induced pluripotent stem cells ( Cell differentiation such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) In particular, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used to The ESCC Cell line has the ability to differentiate into various mesodermal cell types, including bone, cartilage, fat, and muscle cells. Due to this ability, mesenchymal stem cells are useful in treating bone diseases and tissue damage. It is believed to be of value as a therapeutic agent in the field of regenerative medicine. Activating the inherent repair mechanisms of tissues and organs that would otherwise be unable to recover or The purpose of this treatment is to regenerate damaged areas by replacing damaged tissue. To grow tissues or organs in a laboratory that the body cannot repair itself and then safely transplant them into the body. This includes attempts to inject or transplant cells into the body as a regenerative medicine-based treatment for intractable diseases. Stem cell therapy using the self-renewal and differentiation capabilities of stem cells is considered to be the next generation of treatment. It has been in the spotlight for this.
[0005] However, this depends on various factors such as the origin, site of origin, degree of culture, and degree of differentiation of the stem cells used. Due to the risk factors involved, safety and effectiveness standards are strict and approval is difficult. In addition, we can differentiate pluripotent stem cells, which have the ability to differentiate into a variety of cells, into specific cells and sell them commercially. For practical use, mass production is necessary, but the stem cells can be rapidly and safely differentiated into bone cells. It is difficult to achieve this.

In issue 14307, hexanoyl glycol was added to the medium to promote differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In US8,580,757B2, a method for the preparation of mesenchymal stem cells containing chitosan was disclosed. We have developed a method to regulate cell differentiation using miRNA or siRNA. Thus, various attempts have been made to differentiate mesenchymal stem cells into bone cells. However, the method allows differentiation of stem cells without administering any external substances to the stem cells or adding any expensive components to the differentiation medium. Methods for rapidly differentiating cells into large numbers of bone cells remain to be developed. This is not the case.
[0007] However, osteoblasts can be derived from stem cells so that they can be used as cell therapy for bone-related diseases.

[0022] The mesenchymal stem cells of the present invention are pluripotent (m ultipotent) is used in the same sense as undifferentiated cells, but it is also used for fat cells, osteoblasts, and cartilage cells. Ectocytes such as various mesodermal or neural cells, including bone cells, cardiac cells, or muscle cells This refers to adult stem cells that have the ability to differentiate into mesenchymal stem cells. Not only are they free from the risk of developing cancer and ethical issues, but they also have immune protection after transplantation. There may be no rejection reaction.
[0023] The term "osteoblast" as used herein refers to a bone cell of a vertebrate. These cells produce bone matrix (osteoblasts), also known as osteoblasts. They synthesize and secrete bone matrix to produce bone. They can also become normal bone cells by embedding themselves in the bone tissue they have created. It can deposit substances such as Ca and Mg ions necessary for bone mineralization in the bones. Depending on the difference in the internal substances and their activity, they are divided into resting and forming stages, and although they have a high division ability, they are old. In bone, their numbers decrease.
[0024] In the present invention, the term "bone disease" refers to a condition in which damage occurs to the bone, causing bone This refers to a condition in which the structure and density of bones change, making them more susceptible to fracture. Bones provide stability to the skeletal system. It is the toughest tissue in the body that maintains the bones and serves as a lever for muscles and protects internal organs. It not only stores calcium, magnesium and other minerals, but also Such bone diseases are mostly caused by trauma such as fractures, or metabolic diseases such as avascular necrosis and osteoporosis. Regardless of the cause, it is caused by a problem with the mechanical support of the body, which reduces mobility. In this specification, bone disease refers to osteoporosis, osteoporosis, etc. These conditions include osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, pseudoarthrosis, Paget's disease or osteogenesis imperfecta.
[0025] The term "osteoporosis" refers to a condition in which bone mass is reduced and bone quality changes It is a condition in which bones become weaker and more susceptible to fractures, and is mainly caused by genetics, early menopause, and overweight. The main causes are an unhealthy diet or steroid medication.
[0026] The above-mentioned "osteonecrosis" is a disease in which the bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply to the bone. It can occur anywhere, but most commonly occurs on the upper thigh, upper arm, shoulder, knee, or It occurs in the spine, etc.
[0027] The above-mentioned "pseudoarthrosis" is also called "pseudoarthrosis" and occurs when the bone does not join together after it is broken ( Nonunion) refers to the movement of the bone as if it were a joint. Alternatively, it may occur due to a bacterial infection at the fracture site.
[0028] The above-mentioned "Paget's disease" refers to the process of bone remodeling ( Localized, in which excessive bone remodeling occurs and affects various parts of the skeletal system. It is a bone disease that mainly affects the pelvis, thighs or skull.
[0029] The above-mentioned "osteogenesis imperfecta" refers to a condition in which bones are congenitally weak and easily broken without any particular cause. Collectively, they are also called skeletal dysplasias.
[0030] The term "differentiation" as used herein refers to the process by which cells divide and grow. The phenomenon in which the structures and functions of living cells and tissues become specialized during the process of life. It refers to the change in form and function of an organism in order to perform the role it is assigned to. The occurrence or result of qualitative differences between parts of a biological system that were originally homogeneous The state in which the system is divided into qualitatively distinct subsystems is called differentiation.
[0031] The "cell therapeutic agent" of the present invention is a The cells and tissues isolated, cultured, and specially engineered from the human body are used for therapeutic, diagnostic, or preventive purposes. A pharmaceutical product that is used by living subjects to restore the function of cells or tissues. or heterologous cells are expanded or selected in vitro or otherwise altered in biological properties of the cells. It may also be used through a series of actions, such as
[0032] As mentioned above, conventional cell therapy using stem cells has not been widely available due to issues such as high unit price. However, it has been difficult to commercialize the technology, especially since it takes too much time and money to differentiate stem cells into osteoblasts. There was a drawback.
[0033] On the other hand, the differentiation method according to the present invention stably and quickly differentiates stem cells at the early stage of subculture into osteoblasts. Conventional stem cell differentiation methods can differentiate stem cells that have been subcultured eight or more times. In contrast, osteoblasts could not be obtained unless the cells were differentiated for more than 20 days. So, if you differentiate stem cells that have been subcultured five times for about three days, you can obtain differentiated osteoblasts. In particular, when the differentiation method of the present invention is used, the source of stem cells (donor Since all of the cells can be differentiated into osteoblasts without any reaction variation due to the nature of the allogeneic It can be used as a cell therapy agent.

More preferably, the mesenchymal stem cells of step ii) are Alternatively, the stem cells may be umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
[0041] In the case of the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, the umbilical cord tissue discarded after birth is used. The advantage of this method is that it is easy to extract and obtain a large amount of stem cells. The proliferation and differentiation potential of the cells are limited by the age and health condition of the donor from whom they are isolated and extracted. Although there are limitations and variability, umbilical cord-derived stem cells are the earliest available adult stem cells. As stem cells that can be used for transplantation, variables such as the donor's age have little effect on stem cell potency. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells are not affected by the immune system and have excellent proliferation and differentiation capabilities. The advantage of this method is that it can isolate stem cells that can be used to treat various diseases, including liver disease and musculoskeletal diseases. be.
[0042] In the step ii), the mesenchymal stem cells are seeded into the bubble by forming an air-permeable polymer membrane on the interface. After coating with surfactant bubbles, wait at least 2 hours for the bubbles to begin to disappear. The vaccine may be administered at the time of vaccination.
[0043] The mesenchymal stem cells in step ii) may be stem cells that have been subcultured for 5 to 8 passages. Alternatively, the stem cells may be those that have been subcultured for 5 to 6 passages.
[0044] The mesenchymal stem cells seeded in step ii) are cultured in a differentiation medium to obtain α- A culture medium which may contain one or more selected from the group consisting of MEM, DMEM and FBS. The culture may be performed in a nutrient solution for 12 to 48 hours. The culture may be carried out at 4° C. for 20 to 30 hours.

The area indicated by the dotted line represents the stage of the cell therapy agent of the present invention. [Figure 18] Figure 18 shows the results of confirming the cell division ability of two batches of undifferentiated UCMSCs (raw material) and differentiated osteoblasts (DP) using Ki-67 (an indicator of cell division). It was confirmed that Ki-67 expression was consistently and rapidly decreased to less than 1% from DP, which means that CF-M801 is an early stage osteoblast of the osteoblast model. [Figure 19] Figures 19a and 19b show the results of measuring CFU-F using two batches of undifferentiated stem cells BMMSC and UCMSC (raw material) and differentiated osteoblasts (DP). It was confirmed that the differentiated osteoblasts (DP, CF-M801) showed a decrease in CFU-F in a pattern similar to that of Ki-67 (an indicator of cell division) expression. [Figure 20] Figure 20 shows the results of measuring absorbance after staining with alkaline phosphatase after colonies were formed using two batches of undifferentiated stem cells UCMSC (raw material) and differentiated osteoblasts (DP). Colonies formed by differentiated osteoblasts (DP) were stained with alkaline phosphatase compared to undifferentiated cells, and the absorbance value increased, confirming that the colonies formed by proliferation of this cell therapy were osteoblasts. [Figure 21] 21a and 21b show that the differentiated osteoblasts (DP1 to DP3) of the present invention express CD10 at 80% or more, whereas undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells express CD10 at 15% or less. This means that the osteoblasts of the present invention are controlled by confirming the purity by confirming osteoblast-specific marker factors that are not conventional stem cell marker factors.

We also examined whether the cells could maintain vascular induction proteins.
[0082] Specifically, osteoblasts, undifferentiated cells, and The differentiation culture medium and the differentiation medium were collected and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We performed immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and COL1A was The degree of change in protein expression in differentiated and undifferentiated cells was examined by lysing the cells. We confirmed that osteopontin and angiopoietin were proteins in the culture medium up to 72 hours after differentiation. The degree of protein secretion was confirmed.

On the well plate, 4 × 10 undifferentiated stem cells or osteoblasts were 4 In cell / well Inoculation and incubation of HUVEC cells with quantum dots for 24 hours After incubation, the cells were harvested and plated under the transwell at 25,000 / cm 2 Density inoculated After seeding, they were co-cultured for one day and then subjected to an analysis of HUVEC vascular tube formation. The cells were seeded into a 12-well plate and then transferred to the medium using a transwell. After the material exchange occurred, the cells were cultured for 12 hours to confirm the induction of blood vessels in HUVEC cells. The osteogenic differentiation cells and undifferentiated cells were placed on the Transwell for comparison. The negative control group was HUVEC cells were seeded on the coated Matrigel without VEGF. The positive control group was cultured in the same HUVEC medium for 12 hours. The cells were cultured under the same conditions, with the exception that VEGF was added at 20 ng / ml.

[0087] [Example 8] Confirmation of bone regeneration ability of the obtained osteoblasts - in vivo After inducing bone defects in large animal (goat) or small animal (rat) models, the cells of the present invention were The bone regeneration ability of the cell treatment agent was confirmed.
[0088] Specifically, after inducing femoral defects in an immunosuppressed goat model, 1×10 7 The bone regeneration effect was confirmed by treating osteoblasts for 26 weeks (Table 2). To test the efficacy of the dermal endothelial cell, the bone tissue was decalcified for 2.5 months, and H&E and Masson's staining were performed. The efficacy of this cell therapy was evaluated histologically using Trichrome staining.
[0089] In the case of an immunosuppressed rat model, after induction of radial bone defect, 1 × 10 6 The bone regeneration effect was confirmed for 12 weeks by treating osteoblasts (Table 3). Only the scaffold composed of luginate was treated. The degree of bone regeneration was evaluated using μCT images. The bone tissue was fixed, decalcified, sectioned, and stained to prepare slides. New bone regeneration was confirmed.
[0090] [Table 2]
[0091] [Table 3]
[0092] As a result of the efficacy test in the goat model, as shown in [Figure 15a] and [Figure 15b], 26 In both males and females, new bone formation in the proximal and distal parts of the control group was was very insufficient and only partially confirmed, indicating that the wound was in the process of healing. On the other hand, in the proximal and distal areas of the cell-injected group, cells were packed into the defect site and increased in number. The newly formed bone trabeculae are organically connected without any breaks, and the thickness is It was also confirmed that the endothelium had become considerably thicker (white arrow in the lower left of Figure 15a). The formation of new bone at both the 13th and 26th weeks was significantly higher than that at the time of cell injection. It was confirmed that this was significantly observed only in the feeding group.
[0093] As a result of the efficacy test on the rat model, as shown in [Figure 16], the G3 group had pa The G5 group was differentiated for 3 days at passage 5, while the G6 group was differentiated for 2 days at passage 7. In both groups, bone volume and bone mass were significantly increased compared to the control group. The bone mineral density and BMD tended to increase, especially at passage 5. It was confirmed that the bone volume of the treatment group was significantly increased.
[0094] [Example 9] Confirmation of cell therapy stage The steps of the cell therapy agent of the present invention were confirmed.
[0095] <9-1> Confirmation of Ki-67 expression Human Ki-67 is not expressed during the arrest phase (G0) of the cell cycle, but is expressed during the proliferation phase (G1, S, G2 It is known that the IL-1 gene is expressed during the M phase (phase I and II), and cell therapy agents are effective in preventing the proliferation of cells after differentiation into osteocytes. Therefore, the undifferentiated UCSMC (raw material) and the differentiated osteoblasts of the present invention were The expression of Ki-67, an indicator of cell division, was evaluated in two batches of DP. The results were confirmed by immunocytochemistry (ICC) and nuclear staining. The cells were stained with DAPI, a coloring agent, and the expression level of Ki-67 was corrected for cell number.
[0096] Specifically, prepare a slide plate and place 3 × 10 5 Undifferentiated in quantity, After inoculation of the differentiated cells, they were cultured in a CO2 incubator for 24 hours. Fix the cells in 1% Triton X-100 for 10 min at room temperature. The cells were permeabilized and blocked with BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. After that, the Ki-67 primary antibody was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, and the fluorescently linked secondary antibody was incubated in the dark. The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1 hour. TM Gold A Mounting using ntifade Mountant (Invitrogen) The cells were then observed using a fluorescence microscope.
[0097] As a result, as shown in Figure 18, Ki-67 expression was consistently increased in osteoblasts (DP). It was confirmed that the difference in the
[0098] <9-2> Confirmation of CFU-F expression Two types of undifferentiated stem cells, BMMSC and UCMSC (raw material) and differentiated osteoblasts (DP) of the present invention CFU-F was measured using a batch. In addition, when mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in vitro, they increased in number. It is known that the cells begin to grow and form characteristic cell colonies, and the cells in the colonies are fibroblasts. They show a cell-like shape and each cell colony is called a colony forming unit. This is called t-fibroblast, and is known to be an important characteristic of stem cells. The colonies formed were stained with 2% crystal violet and then visually and microscopically examined. Observe the stained colonies by X-ray photography and select those with a size of 3 mm or more and a density of 80% or more. The amount was quantified by counting.
[0099] As a result, as shown in [Figure 19a] and [Figure 19b], differentiated osteoblasts (DP, CF-M 801) showed a decrease in CFU-F in a pattern similar to that of Ki-67 (an indicator of cell division) expression. It was also confirmed that bone marrow-derived stem cells and umbilical cord-derived stem cells were used as raw materials. Although a large amount of Ronnies were formed, the cell therapy agent hardly allowed colony formation. This confirmed that umbilical cord-derived stem cell source cells differentiate into bone cells, From these results, it was concluded that the cell therapy agent had lost its colony-forming ability. It was confirmed that the tondo had differentiated.
[0100] <9-3> Confirmation of ALP expression Colonies that appeared on average less than 1% in CFU-F using the cell therapy agent CF-M801 The cells that form the bone are either undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells or cells that have been induced to differentiate into bone (Osteoblasts). st).
[0101] Specifically, the colonies that appear when cultured in the same manner as CFU-F in Example <9-2> above are Ronnie was stained with ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) to detect osteogenic differentiation. After inoculating 10,000 cells and maintaining them for one week, ALP staining was performed. After ALP staining, the stain was thoroughly dissolved by reacting with dimethylsulfoxide. After collecting only the supernatant, the absorbance was measured using a microplate reader. Ta.
[0102] As a result, as shown in [Figure 20], undifferentiated UCMSCs, which are allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, Although ALP staining was hardly observed, CF-M801 cells that were induced to differentiate into bone showed different It was confirmed that all colonies in the three lots were ALP positive. The absorbance of the transduced CF-M801 was higher than that of undifferentiated cells. The results showed that the values were 1.5 times higher in all cases than in undifferentiated UCMSCs. As a result, differentiated osteoblasts (DP) continue to divide for a certain period of time. As differentiation progresses, they gradually lose their ability to divide and differentiate into osteocytes. Ta.
[0103] Overall, the cell therapy agent of the present invention is a master regulator of bone cell differentiation. RUNX2, which is involved in the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts, is a key factor in the differentiation of osteoblasts. (osteo-progeniotrs, immature osteoblasts) are RUNX2+, have proliferation potential, differentiate into mature bone cells, and are involved in mineralization. ation was further observed (Figures 17a and 17b).
[0104] <9-4> Confirmation of CD-10 expression To confirm the differentiation of cell therapy drugs, the expression level of CD10 was measured by flow cytometry (Fl Flow cytometry (FACS) and immunofluorescence The results were confirmed by ICC (International Cooperative Clinical Trials).
[0105] Specifically, osteoblasts and undifferentiated cells produced and induced to differentiate by the method of [Example 3] above Cells and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were suspended in 2% BSA / DPBS solution. The CD101 primary antibody was reacted at room temperature for 1 hour, washed, and then FITC fluorescence was The secondary antibody linked to β-lactam was reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes. After washing the cells, the supernatant was After removing the cells, the cells were fixed in 3.7% formaldehyde at room temperature for 20 minutes and then analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression level of CD10 was confirmed using a cytochrome P450 (BD Accuri C6 Plus) mouse model. .
[0106] The ICC prepared slide plates and placed 3 × 10 5 Undifferentiated and differentiated by quantity After inoculation, the cells were cultured in a CO2 incubator for 24 hours. The cells were fixed in hyaluronan at room temperature for 10 minutes and then lysed in 1% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 10 minutes. The cells were permeabilized and blocked with BSA at room temperature for 30 minutes. After that, the CD101 primary antibody was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, and the FITC fluorescent-linked secondary antibody was incubated in the dark. After that, the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. TM Gold Antifade Mountant (Invitrogen) was used for mounting. The cells were then cultured and observed using a fluorescent microscope.
[0107] As a result, as shown in [Figure 21a] and [Figure 21b], the differentiated osteoblasts of the present invention (DP1-DP3) express CD10 at 80% or more, whereas undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells It was confirmed that 15% or less of the osteoblasts expressed CD10. We confirmed osteoblast-specific markers that are not conventional stem cell markers, and checked and controlled their purity. It meant being. [Industrial Applicability]
