[Example]
[0060] Next, the present invention will be described using specific examples.
[0061] Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 Mesenchymal stem cells (human adipose mesenchymal stem cells are used in the present invention) are cultured in a keratinocyte serum-free medium containing 5-20% fetal bovine serum, 1-100 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine, and 0.05-50 mM L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, and the temperature during the culture process is controlled at 36.5-38.5°C. The cells are cultured in a cell culture dish containing 5% carbon dioxide to expand the cell number.
[0062] After expanding the mesenchymal stem cells to the number required for the experiment, the mesenchymal stem cells were cultured at 6,000 to 15,000 cells / cm. 2 The cells were seeded onto cell discs at a cell density of 10 ...
[0063] Next, the mesenchymal stem cells were divided into two groups, Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. The mesenchymal stem cells of Comparative Example 1 were cultured for 7 days in a control serum-free medium (CnSF medium), while the mesenchymal stem cells of Example 1 were cultured for 7 days in a basal medium. The serum-free medium of the control group was a keratinocyte serum-free medium containing 1 to 100 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine and 0.05 to 50 mM L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. The components of the basal medium are listed in Table 1.
[0064] [Table 1]
[0065] After 7 days, the supernatants from both groups were collected and transferred to new tubes, and then centrifuged at 300 g for 5 minutes. The supernatants were then collected and transferred to new tubes, and further centrifuged at 4000 g for 20 minutes. The supernatants were then collected and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). This procedure removed cell debris, impurities, bacteria, and vesicles, yielding the conditioned medium CnSF-CM of Comparative Example 1 and the conditioned medium SpSF-CM of Example 1 (i.e., the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention). The conditioned medium CnSF-CM and the conditioned medium SpSF-CM were then used for various analyses, including the detection of cell factor and growth factor content, insulin content, extracellular vesicle analysis, extracellular vesicle purification and enrichment and content monitoring, and cell wound healing assay.
[0066] Measurement of cellular and growth factors To determine the cellular and growth factor contents in the conditioned medium CnSF-CM and conditioned medium SpSF-CM, the cellular and growth factor contents in saline (negative control group), conditioned medium CnSF-CM, and conditioned medium SpSF-CM were measured using a measuring device, MILLIPLEX® MAP MULIPLEX DETECTION (Merck Milliplex, model number: Luminex Magpix Analyzer), and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0067] [Table 2]
[0068] The experimental results showed that the contents of cell factors and growth factors in the conditioned medium SpSF-CM were all higher than those in normal saline and the conditioned medium CnSF-CM. Further fold calculations showed that compared to the conditioned medium CnSF-CM, the contents of ANGPTL4 were 31.47 times higher, HGF 76.50 times higher, G-CSF 431.48 times higher, PDGF-AA 17.57 times higher, VEGF-A 429.65 times higher, IL-18Bpa 4.62 times higher, COMP 1287.50 times higher, and MMP-1 6765.40 times higher. MMP-2 was 8172.69 times higher, MMP-3 was 7456.92 times higher, MMP-7 was 1.56 times higher, MMP-9 was 4.62 times higher, MMP-10 was 11.98 times higher, and MMP-12 was 183.17 times higher. The cell factors and growth factors abundant in the conditioned medium SpSF-CM obtained in Example 1 must be produced only by co-culturing basal medium and mesenchymal stem cells, but the control group in Comparative Example 1 showed that large amounts of specific cell factors and growth factors could not be produced by co-culturing mesenchymal stem cells with serum-free medium.
[0069] ANGPTL4 protein is involved in the regulation of fat metabolism, thus potentially contributing to weight control, promoting angiogenesis and wound healing, anti-inflammatory properties, and cardiac injury repair. HGF protein is an important growth factor in the body, participating in the development and repair of organs, promoting cell growth, inhibiting fibrosis, suppressing cell apoptosis, and promoting anti-inflammatory and angiogenesis. G-CSF protein promotes the growth, survival, and differentiation of blood cells, and promotes the generation of neurons and reduces cell apoptosis. PDGF-AA protein can promote angiogenesis, wound healing, and osteogenic differentiation. VEGF-A protein promotes angiogenesis, increases vascular permeability, and is useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, neurological disorders, and ischemic heart disease. IL-18Bpa protein is involved in immune regulation. COMP protein has protective effects on cartilage and the vasculature, making COMP supplementation a potential treatment for osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease. MMP series proteins are involved in wound repair, angiogenesis and immune regulation.
[0070] Insulin content measurement and extracellular vesicle analysis The results of insulin content measurement (model number: Chemiluminescence, Atellica IM, SIEMENS) using conditioned medium CnSF-CM and conditioned medium SpSF-CM are shown in Table 3. The results of extracellular vesicle analysis (model number: NTA, NanoSight NS300; Malvern Panalytical, Malvern, UK) using conditioned medium CnSF-CM and conditioned medium SpSF-CM are also shown in Table 3.
[0071] [Table 3]
[0072] As shown in Table 3 and Figure 1, the insulin content of the conditioned medium SpSF-CM was 34870.83±7335.13 mU / L, and that of the conditioned medium CnSF-CM was 1.7±0.69 mU / L, meaning that the insulin concentration of the conditioned medium SpSF-CM was 20,512 times that of the conditioned medium CnSF-CM.
[0073] Furthermore, as shown in the results of Table 3 and Figure 2 above, the number of extracellular vesicles in the conditioned medium SpSF-CM was 57.53 ± 3.79 × 10 8 particles / ml, the number of extracellular vesicles in the conditioned medium CnSF-CM was 8.61 ± 0.28 × 10 8 The number of extracellular vesicles in SpSF-CM was 6.7 times higher than that in CnSF-CM. The diameter of extracellular vesicles in conditioned medium SpSF-CM was 122.63±1.01 nm, while that in conditioned medium CnSF-CM was 112.27±2.08 nm, indicating that the diameter of extracellular vesicles in SpSF-CM in conditioned medium is slightly larger than that in CnSF-CM.
[0074] Purification and concentration of extracellular vesicles and identification of their contents To determine the contents of extracellular vesicles in the conditioned medium CnSF-CM and conditioned medium SpSF-CM, the extracellular vesicles were further purified and concentrated by centrifugation at 4,000 g using 100 kDa Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Devices (Millipore). After centrifugation, the upper layer of the tube was separated to obtain the extracellular vesicle concentrate. Further extracellular vesicle analysis (model number: NTA, NanoSight NS300; Malvern Panalytical, Malvern, UK) was performed to obtain the number of extracellular vesicles. After that, both groups were counted at 2 × 10 8 The quantitative amount of extracellular vesicles was taken and the contents of the extracellular vesicles were assayed. The experimental procedures are described below, and the analytical results are recorded in Table 4.
[0075] For gel-assisted digestion, the protein solution was mixed with SDS-PAGE sample buffer and incubated at 95°C for 10 minutes. Proteins were then loaded onto a 10% SDS-PAGE (1 cm) column stained with Coomassie blue and analyzed. The cut gel was first destained and then reduced with 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT, Merck) at 60°C for 45 minutes. Cysteine-blocked gels were then blocked with 55 mM iodoacetamide (IAM, Sigma) at 25°C for 30 minutes. The samples were digested at the sequence level with modified porcine trypsin (Promega) at 37°C for 16 hours. Peptides were then extracted from the gel, centrifuged under vacuum, reconstituted in 0.1% formic acid, and analyzed by LC-MS / MS on an equal volume sample.
[0076] LC-MS / MS analysis: The digested peptides were diluted with HPLC buffer A (0.1% formic acid) and loaded onto a reverse-phase column (Zorbax 300SB-C18, 0.3 x 5 mm; Agilent Technologies). The desalted peptides were then separated on a homemade column (Waters BEH 1.7 μm, 100 μm ID 10 cm with a 15 μm tip) using a multi-step gradient of HPLC buffer B (99.9% acetonitrile / 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 0.3 μl / min for 70 min. The LC device was coupled to a 2D linear ion trap mass spectrometer (Orbitrap Elite ETD; Thermo Fisher) operated with Xcalibur 2.2 software (Thermo Fisher). Full-scan MS was performed on the Orbitrap, with a range of 400–2,000 Da, a resolution of 120,000, and an m / z of 400. The ion signal at m / z 536.165365 was internally corrected using the protonated 12-methylcyclohexasiloxane ion as the lock mass. After 20 data-related MS / MS scan events, a single MS scan was performed on the 20 most abundant precursor ions in the preview MS scan. The m / z values selected for MS / MS were dynamically excluded for 40 seconds, the relative mass window was 15 ppm, the electrospray voltage was 2.0 kV, and the capillary temperature was 200 °C. Automatic gain control for MS and MS / MS was set to 1,000 ms (full scan) and 200 ms (MS / MS), or 3 × 10 to obtain the maximum accumulation time or ion, respectively. 6 The ion concentration was set to 100 ions (full scan) and 3,000 ions (MS / MS).
[0077] Protein identification and label-free quantification - data analysis was performed by Proteome Discoverer software (version 2.3, Thermo Fisher Scientific). MS / MS spectra were searched in the Swissprot database using the Mascot search engine (Matrix Science, London, UK, version 2.5). For peptide identification, a 10 ppm error was allowed for intact peptide masses, and a 0.5 Da error was allowed for CID fragment ions. Two cleavage sites generated by trypsin digestion were excluded: oxidized methionine and acetyl (protein N-terminal) as variable modifications, and carbamidomethyl (cysteine) as a static modification. Next, peptide map pairs (PSMs) were filtered based on high confidence and the first-ranked peptide identifications in the Mascot search engine, ensuring an overall false discovery rate of less than 0.01. Proteins with single peptide hits were removed. Relative protein quantification was based on the sum of peptide peak areas and detected by the Minora algorithm. Differential proteins were selected using a 2-fold change as a cutoff value.
[0078] The results obtained are recorded in Table 4.
[0079] [Table 4]
[0080] CLU protein has neuroprotective, cardioprotective, pain-regulating, immunomodulating, and therapeutic potential for eye diseases such as dry eye, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, renal fibrosis reduction, diabetic endothelial cell dysfunction, prevention of apoptosis of diabetic nephropathy cells, and protection of pancreatic islet beta cells. TIMP1 protein has the potential to participate in wound repair, regeneration, immunomodulation, angiogenesis, and diabetes prevention. YWHAB protein has the potential to lower blood glucose levels and treat metabolic diseases.
[0081] From the results in Table 4 above, extracellular vesicles were quantified (2 × 10 8 When the extracellular vesicles in the conditioned medium SpSF-CM were collected and their contents analyzed, the amount of CLU protein, which contributes to the repair of corneal epithelial cells, was increased by 3.13 times, the amount of TIMP1 protein, which promotes wound healing, was increased by 2.73 times, and the amount of YWHAB protein was increased by 10.63 times compared to the conditioned medium CnSF-CM. This suggests that the extracellular vesicles in the conditioned medium SpSF-CM have high CLU, TIMP1, and YWHAB protein contents, which enhance the wound repair effect.
[0082] Cell wound healing assay To test the effects of the conditioned medium CnSF-CM and the conditioned medium SpSF-CM on wound repair, a cell wound healing test was performed. First, dermal fibroblasts were cultured in DMEM / F12 + 10% FBS, and the cell number was expanded for use in the experiment. Then, 2 × 10 dermal fibroblasts were cultured. 5 Cells were plated in 6-well dishes at 2 x 10 cells per well. 5 The cells were cultured for one day, the medium was removed the next day, and the cells were washed once with dPBS. Serum-free DMEM / F12 medium was added and the cells were cultured for 24 hours to metabolize all remaining nutrients. The next day, a wound was created by scratching the cells with 200 μl of Tips (a line was drawn), and the medium was then removed and the cells were washed twice with dPBS to remove the scraped and floating cells.
[0083] Next, 3 ml each of the conditioned medium CnSF-CM and conditioned medium SpSF-CM was added, and the cells in the 6-well disc culture dishes were photographed and observed at 0, 24, and 48 hours using an inverted fluorescence microscope (model number: OLYMPUS IX71-1LL100). The wound healing area was then calculated and tabulated using Image J software, and the results are recorded in Table 5 and Figure 3.
[0084] [Table 5]
[0085] The experimental results showed that after culturing skin fibroblasts in conditioned medium SpSF-CM and conditioned medium CnSF-CM for 24 hours, the wound healing rates were 47.55% and 21.30%, respectively, and after 48 hours of culturing, the rates were 90.73% and 54.09%. Regardless of whether the culturing time was 24 or 48 hours, the repair ability of conditioned medium SpSF-CM was approximately twice that of CnSF-CM, demonstrating the excellent wound repair potential of conditioned medium SpSF-CM, and the combination of extracellular vesicles, insulin, and growth factors contained therein can be used as a pharmaceutical composition for wound repair.
