Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mesenchymal stem cells used for treating inflammation have adverse effects and limited efficacy, particularly those not expressing HLA-A2, which are less effective in inhibiting inflammatory cytokines and promoting anti-inflammatory markers.

Innovation Solution

A pharmaceutical composition utilizing mesenchymal stem cells expressing HLA-A2 at a level of 70% or higher, characterized by specific surface markers, is developed to inhibit inflammation by reducing TNF-α secretion and increasing CD163 and Arg-1 expression.

1Reliability

If conventional immunosuppressants or steroids are used to treat inflammation, then anti-inflammatory effect is achieved, but adverse effects increase and disease relapse occurs upon discontinuation

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and utilizes specific surface markers (HLA-A2, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD166) from mesenchymal stem cells to identify and isolate a cell population with superior anti-inflammatory properties. This extraction of key identifying features enables selection of cells that provide therapeutic effects without the adverse effects of conventional drugs.

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the selection parameter for mesenchymal stem cells from generic criteria to specific surface marker expression levels (HLA-A2≥70%, CD73≥70%, CD90≥70%, CD105≥70%, CD166≥70%). This parameter change identifies a cell subset with enhanced anti-inflammatory efficacy and reduced adverse effects compared to conventional treatments.

2Reliability

If mesenchymal stem cells not expressing HLA-A2 are used for inflammation treatment, then cell therapy is provided, but anti-inflammatory efficacy is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-inflammatory efficacyVSAvoidinhibition of inflammatory cytokines and promotion of anti-inflammatory markers
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing on specific surface marker expression (HLA-A2, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD166) as distinguishing features of mesenchymal stem cells. By selecting cells with high expression of these specific markers, the patent identifies a population with enhanced local anti-inflammatory activity, particularly in suppressing TNF-α and inducing CD163 and Arg-1.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the selection criterion from general mesenchymal stem cell characteristics to specific surface marker expression thresholds (HLA-A2≥70%, CD73≥70%, CD90≥70%, CD105≥70%, CD166≥70%). This parameter change selects for a cell population with superior productivity in terms of inflammatory cytokine inhibition and anti-inflammatory marker promotion.

AI summary

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising HLA-A2-expressing mesenchymal stem cells as an effective ingredient for prevention or treatment of inflammatory disease. According to the present invention, the mesenchymal stem cells expressing HLA-A2 on the surface thereof inhibit the secretion of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-a and increase the expression of the anti-inflammatory markers CD163 and Arg-1, so that the pharmaceutical composition comprising the mesenchymal stem cells as an effective ingredient can be advantageously used for suppressing inflammation or treating inflammatory diseases.
