Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for preparing and recovering pariduval mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) face challenges in promoting cell growth, achieving high concentrations, and maintaining cell viability and biological function, leading to poor quality and variable batch results.

Innovation Solution

A method involving tissue digestion with high-glucose DMEM and collagenase, followed by cultivation in a selective serum-free medium with growth factors, and cryopreservation in a serum-free medium, along with a recovery method using a selective medium to ensure consistent cell viability and growth.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional tissue digestion and cultivation methods are used, then the process is simple, but cells are difficult to climb out of tissue and grow adherently, resulting in low cell concentration and poor quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell concentrationVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the digestion solution by specifying precise concentrations of Tryple (40-60%), EDTA (4-8 mM), and collagenase type II (8-12 mg/ml), which significantly improves cell detachment efficiency and growth adherence compared to conventional methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-treating tissues with the optimized digestion solution before cultivation, ensuring cells are properly detached and prepared for adherence, which prevents poor growth during the cultivation phase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If conventional complete medium with FBS is used for cultivation, then the medium is simple to prepare, but it cannot effectively promote PMSC growth, resulting in low cell concentration

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the medium from a simple complete medium with FBS to a complex selective serum-free medium containing specific growth factors (bFGF at 18-25 ng/ml, EGF at 16-22 ng/ml, SCGF at 6-12 ng/ml), which dramatically enhances PMSC proliferation and achieves high cell concentration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite medium formulation combining multiple growth factors, amino acids, and supplements in specific concentrations, which works synergistically to promote PMSC growth more effectively than simple complete medium

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If conventional cryopreservation method with DMSO is used, then the protocol is standard, but it cannot effectively maintain cell viability and biological function, resulting in variable batch results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell viabilityVSAvoidcryopreservation protocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces DMSO with Cryosure-DEX-40 at 18-25% concentration in the cryopreservation solution, which significantly improves cell viability and maintains biological function after thawing, eliminating the variability seen with conventional DMSO-based protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a disposable cryopreservation solution without DMSO, which avoids the toxicity and variability issues of DMSO while maintaining simplicity in the overall process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a preparation method and a recovery method of pariduval mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs). In the preparation method, a high-glucose Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) that includes a Tryple-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) enzyme of 40% to 60% in volume concentration and collagenase type II of 8 mg/ml to 12 mg/ml is used as a tissue digestion solution to digest tissue blocks, which facilitates PMSCs to climb out of the tissue blocks and grow adherently; and a serum-free DMEM is adopted as a selective medium to terminate the digestion and resuspend PMSCs, which helps to improve a purity of PMSCs, accelerate the growth of PMSCs, and achieve the rapid expansion of PMSCs in vitro.
