Not only are they free from the risk of cancer and ethical issues that can occur after transplantation, but they also have immune protection. It may not cause rejection.

[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 create bone. They can also become ordinary 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 internal substances and their activity, they are divided into the resting stage and the forming stage. In bone, their numbers decrease.

[0024] The term "bone disease" as used herein refers to a condition in which bones are damaged and bones become damaged. This refers to a state in which bone structure and density change, making bones more susceptible to fractures. Bones provide stability to the skeletal system. It is the hardest tissue in the body, used as a lever for muscles and to protect internal organs. It not only provides nutrients but also plays a role in storing minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These bone diseases are mostly caused by trauma such as fractures, or metabolic diseases such as avascular necrosis and osteoporosis. Regardless of the cause, it simply causes problems with the body's mechanical support and reduces mobility. In this specification, bone disease refers to osteoporosis, and the like. These include osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, pseudarthrosis, Paget's disease, or osteogenesis imperfecta.

[0025] The term "osteoporosis" refers to the loss of bone mass and qualitative changes that occur. This refers to 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 excessive diet or steroid medication.

After removal of the poloxamer solution, it was confirmed that the bubbles had disappeared 2 hours (2H). [Figure 3] Figure 3 shows the results of 3D fluorescence microscopy images of cells loaded with QDs after poloxamer bubble coating. [Figure 4] Figure 4 shows the results of a cytotoxicity test for each type of surfactant. The results for CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8) on day 1 confirmed that the remaining surfactants (DIAPON K-SF and Tween-20) except for P407 (poloxamer 407) were toxic to cells. [Figure 5] Figure 5 shows the results of a cytotoxicity experiment for each type of surfactant. Cell proliferation was measured using CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8) from day 1 to day 3, and it was confirmed that the remaining surfactants (DIAPON K-SF and Tween-20) except for P407 (poloxamer 407) were cytotoxic and prevented cell proliferation.

[Figure 18] Figure 18 shows the results of measuring Ki-67 (an indicator of cell division) in two batches of undifferentiated UCMSCs (raw material) and differentiated osteoblasts (DP). Ki-67 expression consistently decreased sharply to less than 1% in DP, indicating that CF-M801 represents an early stage osteoblast model. [Figure 19] Figures 19a and 19b show the results of measuring CFU-F using two batches of undifferentiated stem cells (BMMSC, UCMSC) (raw material) and differentiated osteoblasts (DP). 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 following colony formation using two batches of undifferentiated stem cells (UCMSCs) and differentiated osteoblasts (DPs). Colonies formed by differentiated osteoblasts (DPs) were stained with alkaline phosphatase compared to undifferentiated cells, demonstrating that the colonies formed by proliferation of this cell therapy agent were osteoblasts. [Figure 21] 21a and 21b show that 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 their purity through the identification of osteoblast-specific markers that are not conventional stem cell markers.

[0065] [Example 2] Coating an air-permeable polymer membrane with surfactant bubbles 8% Poloxamer 407 (poloxamer 407) completely dissolved in PBS was placed on the porous membrane of the HyperFlask. Shake the poloxamer 407) to generate bubbles, then pour in the remaining poloxamer solution. The air-permeable polymer membrane was coated with poloxamer bubbles at 37°C for 2 hours. After the poloxamer 407 bubbles were generated, the solution was removed. After removing the bubbles, it was observed whether they were still present. After 2 hours (2H), the bubbles disappeared. After 5 hours (5H), it was confirmed that the bubbles had completely disappeared (Figure 2).

[0066] In addition, we have developed quantum dot-co technology to track umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Induced silica nanoparticles (QDs) were incubated for 24 hours.

The cultured stem cells were then cultured in a bone differentiation medium for 72 hours to differentiate into osteoblasts. were differentiated into cells.

[0068] [Example 4] Screening of surfactants suitable for coating air-permeable polymeric membranes Poloxamer, a representative biocompatible surfactant, 407, P407), Cocoyl Methyl Taurine (Sodium Methyl Coco yl Taurate, DIAPON K-SF), Twin 20 (polyoxyethoxy) ylene sorbitan monolaurate, Tween 20) or The toxicity of methylprednisolone was confirmed.

[0069] Specifically, the upper chamber is placed in a transwell containing a three-dimensional porous membrane. The chamber contains surfactant P407, DIAPON K-SF or Twe En 20 was treated with 0, 0.51, 5 or 15% (v / v) After coating for 2 hours in the same manner as in [Example 2], the umbilical cord obtained in [Example 1] was Cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells at 20,000 cells / cm 2 The seeding was done in the following way. The bars were filled with cell growth medium and cultured for 3 days. On days 1, 2, and 3, CCK-8 (Cat. CK04, DOJINDO) solution and incubate at 37℃ in a CO2 incubator for 3 hours. Then, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm to analyze the cytotoxicity (Figure 4) and cell proliferation (Figure 5). Ta.

[0070] In addition, the upper chamber ( The chamber contains surfactant P407, methylprednisolone, or The cells were treated with Tween 20 at a concentration of 4 mM and coated for 2 hours in the same manner as in Example 2. After the incubation, the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells obtained in Example 1 were cultured at 20,000 cells / ml. ll / cm 2 The lower chamber was filled with cell growth medium and cultured for 3 days. On the first, second, and third days, CCK-8 solution was added and the cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37°C for 3 days. After the incubation time, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm to assess the cytotoxicity (Figure 6) and cell proliferation (Figure 7). Analyze.

[0071] As a result, as shown in Figures 4 to 7, the remaining DIAPON K, excluding P407, -SF, Tween 20, and methylprednisolone were all confirmed to be toxic to cells. came.

[0072] [Example 5] Selection of surfactant coating methods Poloxamer is bubbled or gelled onto the HyperFlask porous membrane. After coating with the umbilical cord-derived stem cells, the differentiation process of the umbilical cord-derived stem cells was performed by the method of Example 3. The degrees were compared.

[0073] Specifically, the differentiated osteoblasts and undifferentiated cells were collected and treated with Trizol. TM The mixture was treated with chloroform (Sigma) and centrifuged to separate the layers, yielding only mRNA. ranscriptor Universal cDNA Master Kit(Ro The mRNA obtained using che was synthesized into cDNA. DNA is amplified by RT-PCR to measure the number of DNA copies at the gene level. The polymerase chain reaction conditions were 95°C for 10 seconds, 54°C for 10 seconds, and 72°C for 30 seconds. The cycle time was 50 cycles per second (Figure 8).

[0074] In addition, the osteoblasts and undifferentiated cells produced and induced to differentiate by the method of Example 3 were cultured. The fluid was collected and analyzed for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The secretion level of VEGF was measured by enzyme immunoassay. A ELISA (ELISA) was performed (Figure 9).

[0075] As a result, as shown in [Figures 8] and [Figures 9], the undifferentiated or gel-like poloxamer was separated. The cells differentiated by the method of the present invention have higher osteoinductive and angiogenic genes than the differentiated cells. It was confirmed that the level of protein expression was very high.

[0076] [Example 6] Evaluation of bone formation ability of the obtained osteoblasts <6-1> Bone formation ability of osteoblasts (gene level) RNA was isolated from osteoblasts collected during the osteoblast differentiation process, and cDNA was synthesized. Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Using RT-PCR (Reaction in Reaction;RT-PCR), the bone formation gene marker Lance 2 (RUN-related transcription factor 2, RUN The gene expression levels of X2 and connexin 43 (CX43) were Compared with undifferentiated cells.

[0077] Specifically, osteoblasts and undifferentiated cells produced and induced to differentiate by the method of [Example 3] above were used. Each was collected and treated with Trizol TM and chloroform (Sigma) and centrifuged. The mRNA was isolated by layer separation. The mRNA obtained using the cDNA Master Kit (Roche) was converted to cDNA. Then, DNA was synthesized using RT-PCR for RUNX2 and CX43. The PCR conditions were 95°C, 1 The cycle consisted of 50 cycles of 0 s, 54°C for 10 s, and 72°C for 30 s.

[0078] In addition, osteoblasts, undifferentiated cells, bone marrow-derived cells, and osteoblasts produced and induced to differentiate by the method of Example 3 were used. The primary mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) and mature bone cells (NHOst) were collected, respectively. Obtain mRNA and use it in the Transcriptor Universal cDNA Master The obtained mRNA was synthesized into cDNA using the ER Kit (Roche). DNA was amplified by RT-PCR targeting RUNX2, CX43, and COL1A. The difference in expression level was confirmed at the gene level. The polymerase chain reaction conditions were 95°C for 10 seconds, 5 The incubation was 50 cycles of 4°C for 10 seconds and 72°C for 30 seconds.

[0079] As a result, as shown in [Fig. 10] and [Fig. 11], in the osteoblasts of the present invention, RUN X2, CX43, or COL1A promotes the differentiation of undifferentiated stem cells and mature bone cells (NHOst). In Figure 10, RCB001 and RCB002 were highly expressed. and RCB005 means undifferentiated cells, RCB001-DP1 to RCB005-DP 5 means the differentiated cell therapeutic agent of the present invention.

[0080] On the other hand, in the case of OSX, OCN, or OPN, the present invention was expressed in mature bone cells (NHOst). The expression level of the osteoblasts of the present invention was higher than that of the normal osteoblasts, which is due to the fact that the osteoblasts of the present invention are not as high as NHOst. This indicates that the cells are at the mature bone differentiation stage (Fig. 11). RCB001‐DP1 to RCB005‐DP1 represent undifferentiated cells. DP5 refers to the differentiated cell therapeutic agent of the present invention.

[0081] <6-2> Bone formation ability of osteoblasts (protein level) In the culture medium and osteoblasts collected during the osteoblast differentiation process in [Example 3], bone formation or Collagen type 1A (Collagen type 1A), known as an angiogenic protein marker, en type 1A, COL1A), osteopontin, or or angiopoietin (ANGPT-1) protein concentration Furthermore, we confirmed that the frozen cell therapy agent of the present invention did not increase bone morphogenetic protein levels even after thawing. We also examined whether blood vessel induction proteins could be maintained.

[0082] Specifically, osteoblasts, undifferentiated cells, and osteoblasts prepared and induced to differentiate by the method of [Example 3] above were used. The differentiation culture medium and the IgG were collected and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). COL1A was detected by the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The differentiated cells and undifferentiated cells were collected and lysed to examine the degree of change in protein expression in the cells. Osteopontin and angiopoietin were confirmed to be proteins in the culture medium up to 72 hours after differentiation. The degree of protein secretion was confirmed.

[0083] As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the COL1A protein was expressed in the osteoblasts of the present invention. The expression of phospholipids increased, and the secretion of osteopontin and angiopoietin was all highly expressed. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 13, even after 3 to 7 days from thawing, It has been confirmed that the bone morphogenetic protein or blood vessel induction protein of the cell therapy agent of the present invention is maintained. In Figures 12 and 13, (A) shows COL1A1 and (B) shows osteogenic response. Opontin (OPN) and (C) represent angiopoietin. Taste.

[0084] [Example 7] Evaluation of the angiogenic potential of the obtained osteoblasts Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) secreted angiogenic proteins by osteoblasts. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell,HU The angiogenic potential of VECs was confirmed.

[0085] Specifically, a 12-well transformer containing a porous membrane with an 8.0 μm pore size was used. On a well plate, 4 x 10 undifferentiated stem cells or osteoblasts were cultured. 4 cell / well Quantum-dot uptake was performed on HUVEC cells in culture for 24 hours. After incubation, the cells were harvested and plated under the transwell at 25,000 / cm 2 Density inoculated After seeding, the cells 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 transwelled into the medium. After the material exchange occurred, the cells were cultured for 12 hours to confirm the induction of blood vessels in HUVEC cells. Bone-differentiated cells and undifferentiated cells were placed on top of the Transwell for comparison. HUVEC cells alone were seeded on the coated Matrigel to obtain VEGF-free cultures. The positive control group was cultured in the same HUVEC medium as the negative control group for 12 hours. The cells were cultured under the same conditions with the addition of 20 ng / ml of VEGF.

[0086] As a result, as shown in Figure 14, VEGF-positive cells, which are known as an angiogenesis-inducing factor, were detected. The umbilical cord-derived raw material cells (Undi) were at a similar level to the positive control group. When co-cultured with UC-MSCs and osteogenic agents, the tube (t It was confirmed that the formation of bone tubules occurred. When co-cultured with vascular differentiation, thick and robust blood vessels were formed. It was confirmed that the cells were formed by proteins secreted by cell therapy agents. It was confirmed that blood vessels were formed thicker and stronger.

[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). As an efficacy test for the dermal fibroblasts, the bone tissue was decalcified for 2.5 months, and H&E and Masson's The efficacy of this cell therapy was evaluated histologically using Trichrome staining.

[0089] In the immunosuppressed rat model, after radial defect induction, 1 × 10 cells were injected per rat. 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 by μCT imaging. 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 healing process. On the other hand, in the proximal and distal areas of the cell-administered group, cells were packed into the defect site and increased in number. The newly formed bone trabeculae are organically connected without any gaps and are thick. It was also confirmed that the vascular system had become significantly thicker (white arrow in the lower left of Figure 15a). At both the 13th and 26th weeks, new bone formation was observed. 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 showed pa G5 group was differentiated for 2 days at passage 7, and G6 group was differentiated for 3 days at passage 5. 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 in passage 5. It was confirmed that the bone volume of the treatment group treated with the hydroxybenzoate increased significantly.

[0094] [Example 9] Confirmation of the stage of cell therapy 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 expression of ATP is in the M phase (phase 1 and 2), 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 used. The cell division ability of two batches of DP was evaluated by the expression level of Ki-67, an indicator of cell division. The results were confirmed by immunocytochemistry (ICC), and nuclear staining was confirmed. The cells were stained with DAPI, a coloring agent, and the expression level of Ki-67 was corrected for the cell number.

[0096] Specifically, prepare a slide plate and place 3 × 10 5 Undifferentiated in quantity, After seeding the differentiated cells, they were cultured in a CO2 incubator for 24 hours. Fix the cells with aldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature, then fix them with 1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cells were permeabilized and blocked with BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. After that, the Ki-671 primary antibody was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, and the fluorescently linked secondary antibody was incubated in the dark. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 1 hour. TM Gold A Mounting using Antifade 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 rapidly decreased to less than 1%.

[0098] <9-2> Confirmation of CFU-F expression Two types of undifferentiated stem cells (BMMSC, UCMSC) 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, but 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 a t-fibroblast, and it is known to be an important characteristic of stem cells. The colonies formed were stained with 2% crystal violet and then visually and microscopically inspected. Observe the stained colonies by photograph and select those with a density of 80% or more and a diameter of 3 mm or more. The amount was quantified by counting the number of

[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. In addition, it was confirmed that bone marrow-derived stem cells and umbilical cord-derived stem cells were used as raw material cells. Although a large amount of colonies were formed, the cell therapy agent hardly formed any colonies. This confirmed that umbilical cord-derived stem cell source cells differentiate into osteogenic cells, From this result, 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 are induced to differentiate into bone (Osteoblasts). We confirmed that it was st.

[0101] Specifically, the colonies that appeared when cultured in the same manner as CFU-F in Example <9-2> were Ronnie was stained with ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) staining method to show bone 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, measure the absorbance 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, the osteogenic differentiation-induced CF-M801 cells 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 than undifferentiated UCMSCs in all cases. As a result, differentiated osteoblasts (DP) continue to divide for a certain period of time. As differentiation progresses, the cells 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 early stage of osteoblast differentiation. (osteo-progeniotrs, immature osteoblasts) are RUNX2+, have proliferative potential, differentiate into mature bone cells, and are mineralized. It was found that further ation was carried out (Figures 17a and 17b).

[0104] <9-4> Confirmation of CD-10 expression To confirm the differentiation of cell therapy agents, the expression level of CD10 was measured by flow cytometry (Fl Flow cytometry (FACS) and immunofluorescence The data were confirmed by ICC.

[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, and after washing, FITC fluorescence was The cells were then incubated with the secondary antibody conjugated to β-lactamase at room temperature for 30 minutes. After washing the cells, the supernatant was After removal, 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 BD Accuri C6 Plus. .

[0106] ICC prepared a slide plate and placed 3 x 10 cells in each well. 5 Undifferentiated and differentiated by quantity After inoculation, the cells were cultured in a CO2 incubator for 24 hours. The cells were fixed in HCl for 10 minutes at room temperature and then lysed in 1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature. 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 fluorescently linked secondary antibody was incubated in the dark. After that, the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. TM Gold Mounting was performed using Antifade Mountant (Invitrogen). The cells were then observed using a fluorescence microscope.

[0107] As a result, as shown in [Fig. 21a] and [Fig. 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 have confirmed osteoblast-specific markers that are not conventional stem cell markers, and have confirmed and controlled their purity. It meant being there. [Industrial Applicability]
