Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] (Reference to Related Application) This application was filed on September 9, 2019, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 897,428.
[0002] (Technical field) The disclosed embodiments are directed to at least one of the following fields: cell biology, molecular biology, neurology, physiology, biochemistry, It encompasses the fields of immunology and medicine. [Background technology]
[0003] Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) was originally identified in the sport of boxing as a condition known as "punch-drunk." A professional boxer with multiple seizures and repeated head injuries has been described as a syndrome. It is known that repeated head injuries can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE can result in rotational acceleration of the brain, diffuse axonal injury, and other neuropathological features. Motor changes such as tremor, dysarthria, and parkinsonism; cognitive changes such as mental retardation and memory impairment These include psychiatric changes such as explosive behavior, pathological fantasies, pathological addictions, and [1-6] can be.
[0004] In the UK, at least 17% of boxers suffer from CTE, which causes problems with walking and coordination, and In addition to inarticulate speech and tremors, they have brain dysfunction that causes cognitive and neurobehavioral disorders. [7] One study found that conventional MR imaging did not reveal Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which is sensitive to microscopic white matter changes [8,9], was used to assess executive function. Neuropsychological testing of memory along with tract-based spatial statistics In conjunction with TBSS (Training Statistics), male amateur boxers A cohort of 31 people and 31 age-matched controls and an additional IQ A matched subgroup of 19 participants was studied. Participants underwent neurological and conventional MRI showed normal findings. The fractional anisotropy was significantly reduced, but the diffusion These changes were due in part to the effects of the competition. This study showed that TBSS was related to the number of fights in amateur boxers. These findings demonstrated widespread white matter damage associated with incident T The findings are very similar to those in BI patients, and amateur boxers also show similar histological changes.
[10]
[0005] In addition to boxing, jockeys have also been reported to suffer from CTE. In a 1976 publication, Foster et al. National Hunt jockeys (PJJs) presented with post-traumatic brain injury with epilepsy and significant reported that two patients had significant intellectual and psychological deterioration
[11] . Other reports of jockeys with similar conditions have been described
[12] . It is also used in whiplash,
[13] shaken baby syndrome,
[14] wrestling,
[15] and military combat. Fighting [16, 17], soccer [18-22], rugby
[23] , football [24, 25 ], prison head injuries
[26] , shotgun injuries
[27] , and mixed martial arts
[28] . And many other things are mentioned.
[0006] One study in JAMA looked at 202 football players whose brains were donated for research. A case series was investigated. Neuropathological evaluation by informants and retrospective clinical observations by telephone were performed. A floor assessment (including head trauma history) was conducted in a blinded manner. Exercise history was assessed by an online questionnaire. and military history. Neurological disorders, including CTE, based on defined diagnostic criteria. Physical diagnosis; neuropathological severity of CTE (stage I to stage IV, or mild [stage I and II]) and severe [stages III and IV]); informant-reported exercise history; and For players who died after 2014, clinical features such as behavior, mood, and cognitive symptoms, as well as dementia, were examined. 202 former soccer players died (median age at death: 66 years [interquartile range: 47-76 years]) ), 177 athletes (87%; median age at death) were diagnosed with CTE neuropathologically. Age 67 years [interquartile range 52–77 years]; mean years of soccer participation 15.1 [SD, 5.2] ) 0 out of 2 former high school students, 3 out of 14 high school students (21%), and 48 out of 53 university students (91%). , 9 out of 14 semi-professionals (64%), 7 out of 8 Canadian Soccer League players (88%), none The neuropathological significance of CTE was 110 of 111 players (99%) from the National Soccer League. The severity of the disease was distributed across the highest levels of play, with all three former high school players having mild pathology. The following were pre-university (27 people [56%]), semi-professional (5 people [56%]), and professional (101 people [86%]) players: The majority of athletes had severe pathology. Of the 27 participants with mild CTE pathology, Of these, 26 (96%) had behavioral or mood symptoms or both, and 23 (85%) ) had cognitive symptoms, and 9 (33%) had signs of dementia. Of the 84 participants with a history of psychiatric disorders, 75 (89%) had behavioral or mood symptoms or both. 80 patients (95%) had cognitive symptoms, and 71 patients (85%) had signs of dementia. In a convenience sample of cadaveric football players who donated their brains for research, a high percentage Neuropathological evidence of CTE was found in 2014, and CTE was associated with pre-participation in football. It has been suggested that these may be related.
[29]
[0007] In another study, the authors compared tackle football players with neuropathologically confirmed CTE. Pathological severity and neurobehavioral manifestations of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in soccer players The effect of age on age at first exposure to tackle football was examined. The study included 246 soccer players who provided brains for neuropathological examination. 211 cases were diagnosed with CTE (126 of the 211 cases did not have a concomitant neurodegenerative disease), and 35 None of the cases had CTE. Informed interviews revealed that the age of first exposure Age at onset of cognitive and behavioral / mood symptoms was ascertained. Analyses were performed over a 10-year and recurrence period. Age at exposure was associated with pathological severity of CTE, Alzheimer's disease, or Lewy body pathology. In the 211 participants with CTE, each year of life increased the risk of developing a 2.44-year-old younger participant. Cognitive symptom onset reported by age (p<0.0001) and behavioral / mood symptoms by age 2.5 years The earlier they started playing tackle football, the better they predicted their condition (p<0.0001). Age at exposure 2 years or earlier was associated with earlier cognitive decline (p<0.01) by 13.39 and 13.28 years, respectively. <0.0001) and behavioral / mood (p<0.0001) symptoms predicted dementia participation. In patients with CTE, a younger age at exposure corresponded to an earlier onset of functional impairment. A similar effect was observed in 126 participants with CTE. In participants without CTE, the effect size was In this sample of deceased Thakur footballers, the incidence was similar at a younger age. Tackle football exposure was not associated with CTE pathological severity, but earlier Exposure in young people playing soccer predicted the development of neurobehavioral symptoms. This may reduce resilience to learning.

Incubate the cells at 37±2.0°C for 5.0±1 min in a T-225 flask. Incubate with 0.0% CO2 and feed with fresh complete growth medium every 3-5 days. Every feed in this process involves removing half of the complete growth medium and replacing it with the same volume of fresh Alternatively, a complete feeding can be performed. Cells should not be left in the T-175 flask for more than 30 days before culturing. Monitored throughout the process to ensure proper seeding density during fertilization When cell confluence is 40% or greater in a T-175 flask, the spent medium is Remove the cells, wash them, and treat with trypsin-EDTA to remove the adherent cells in the flask. The cells are then passaged by releasing them into a T-5 Alternatively, seed one or two T-300 flasks to continue cell expansion. SC, 1 layer cell stack (1CS), 1 layer cell factory (1CF) or 2 A layered cell stack (2CS) can be used in place of a T-500 flask. Morphology was assessed prior to passaging and harvest to ensure culture purity throughout the process. Morphology is monitored by transferring the observed samples to a laboratory for morphological examination of cell cultures. The cells are assessed by comparison with a visual standard. In this case, the cells show a typical fibroblast morphology. The cells are elongated, spindle-shaped or fusiform with long, thin extensions. They appear as larger, flattened astrocytes that may have a cone-shaped appearance or have a leading edge of cytoplasm. A mixture of these morphologies can also be observed. Fibroblasts may be similarly shaped but randomly oriented. Keratinocytes in cell culture The presence of keratinocytes is also assessed. Keratinocytes appear rounded and irregularly shaped, and the higher the confluency, the better. At lower confluence they appear organized into cobblestone formations. In this case, keratinocytes were observed in small colonies. Incubate at 4°C with 5.0±1.0% CO2 and culture in T-500 flasks every 3–5 days. The cells were then passaged every 5-7 days in 10-layer cell stacks (10CS). The bulk drug substance should not remain in the T-500 flask for more than 1 hour. Quality Control (QC) release testing includes sterility testing and endotoxin testing. When the cell confluence in the culture medium is approximately 95%, the cells are passaged into 10CS culture vessels. Alternatively, two 5-layer cell stacks (5CS) or 10-layer cell factories (10CF) can be used instead of 10CS. Passage through 10CS removes spent medium. The cells were then washed and treated with trypsin-EDTA to bring the adherent cells in the flask into solution. The cells are then transferred to 10CS. Additional complete growth medium is added. In addition, trypsin was neutralized and the cells from the T-500 flask were transferred to a 1000 ml plate containing fresh complete growth medium. Transfer the contents of the 2L bottle to a 10CS tube and seed all layers. The cells were then incubated at 37±2.0°C with 5.0±1.0% CO2. Feed fresh complete growth medium every 5-7 days. Cells should be kept in 10CS for at least 20 days before passaging. In one embodiment, the passaged dermal fibroblasts are expanded fibroblasts. Incubation of the cells in a protein-free medium for a period of time allows the cells to be isolated from the culture medium. The cells in the primary harvest 10CS are substantially free of immunogenic proteins present in the When the cell confluence is 95% or more, the cells are harvested. The cells were washed and treated with trypsin-EDTA to release adherent cells into solution, followed by additional complete This is done by neutralizing the trypsin with the addition of growth medium. The cells are then harvested by centrifugation. The cells were then resuspended and in-process QC tests were performed to determine total viable cell count and cell viability. Determine.

[0075] Example 2 Neuronal apoptosis in response to oxidative stress in fibroblasts and fibroblast combinations Decrease in Fibroblasts were co-cultured with either monocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, or hematopoietic stem cells at a 1:1 ratio. Cells were incubated for 4 h in the presence of increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to stimulate oxidative stress. The conditioned medium from the cells was then cultured for 8 hours. Apoptosis was assessed using Annexin V staining to determine the percentage of apoptotic cells. Fibroblasts were measured by flow cytometry, as shown in Figure 4. It synergizes with CD34 (Fig. 5) or MSCs (Fig. 6) to inhibit neuronal death.
[0076] Example 3 Stimulation of neural progenitor cell proliferation by a combination of fibroblasts and fibroblasts Fibroblasts were co-cultured with either monocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, or hematopoietic stem cells at a 1:1 ratio. Cells were cultured for 48 hours in the presence of increasing concentrations of interleukin-1 beta, and myeloid leukemia was observed. The conditioned medium from the cells stimulated the production of inflammatory factors. Fibroblasts were added for 48 hours and proliferation was measured by thymidine incorporation. , synergizing with monocytes (Figure 7), CD34 (Figure 8), or MSCs (Figure 9) to stimulate neurogenesis. Become excited.
[0077] Example 4 Fibroblast-conditioned medium protects neurons from injury Cells are triple-cloned sublines of the SH-SY5Y bone marrow biopsy-derived line SK-N-SH (Sigma) has dopamine-β-hydroxylase activity and mediates the neurotransmission of glutamate. These cells are known to be able to convert about 70% of apoptosis into the neurotransmitter GABA. 24-hour treatment with 70 mM glucose, which induces cytotoxicity, served as a model of neurotoxicity. To assess whether fibroblasts have neuroprotective properties, fibroblast-conditioned medium Increasing concentrations of the medium were added to SH-SY5Y cells.
[0078] To obtain fibroblast conditioned medium, skin fibroblasts (ATCC) were cultured in 10% fetal bovine serum. The cells were cultured for 24 hours in OPTI-MEM medium containing serum and non-essential amino acids. The cells were cultured in a T-75 flask at confluency in 1 ml of medium. After 24 hours, the cells were cultured in liquid medium. Fibroblast conditioned medium was generated by extracting
[0079] Administration of conditioned medium increased glucose uptake as assessed by Annexin-V staining. A dose-dependent reduction in thrombus-induced neuronal death was observed (Figure 10).
