Solution Overview

Problem

Adipose-derived stem cells cultured in conventional basal media require extensive time for proliferation, limiting their clinical effectiveness, and there is a need for objective analysis of molecular biological features related to their superior clinical effects when cultured in media containing EGF or bFGF.

Innovation Solution

A method for detecting the immunosuppression or proliferation potential of adipose-derived stem cells by measuring the mRNA or protein levels of specific genes (AGPAT9, ANXA10, IGF2BP3, PTGER2, ITGA11, PAWR, and SFRP2) cultured in media with EGF or bFGF, which shows expression differences compared to basal media cultures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If adipose-derived stem cells are cultured in a standard basal medium, then the culturing method is simple and conventional, but the cell proliferation is slow and requires a lot of time, making it difficult to obtain clinically effective numbers of cells

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell proliferation rateVSAvoidculture time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the culture medium by adding specific growth factors (EGF at 5-20 ng/mL and/or bFGF at 5-20 ng/mL) to the basal medium. This parameter modification transforms the medium from a standard basal medium into a growth-promoting medium that significantly accelerates adipose-derived stem cell proliferation while maintaining cell characteristics, thereby resolving the contradiction between simple culturing and slow proliferation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If adipose-derived stem cells are cultured in a growth medium containing EGF or bFGF, then the proliferation potential and therapeutic effects are superior, but there is a lack of objective molecular biological markers to analyze and quality control the cultured cells

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effect consistencyVSAvoidmolecular biological feature analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces subjective clinical effect evaluation with objective molecular biological marker detection. By identifying specific genes (AGPAT9, ANXA10, IGF2BP3, PTGER2, ITGA11, PAWR, SFRP2) whose expression levels differ between cells cultured in basal medium versus growth medium, the invention enables objective measurement and quality control of cell therapeutic agents, thus resolving the contradiction between superior therapeutic effects and lack of detection methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If adipose-derived stem cells are cultured in a growth medium containing EGF or bFGF, then the proliferation potential increases and clinical effectiveness improves, but the complexity of the culturing method and medium composition increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell yieldVSAvoidmedium composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the culture medium by adding specific growth factors (EGF and/or bFGF) at defined concentrations (5-20 ng/mL each) to the basal medium. This controlled parameter change achieves significant cell proliferation enhancement while maintaining reasonable medium complexity through standardized addition protocols, resolving the contradiction between increased productivity and medium complexity.

Inventive Principle:
