摘要:
A composition comprising bone marrow cells (BMC) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and/or mineralized bone matrix (MBM) and optionally comprising bone morphogenetic protein/s (BMP) and/or other active agents, particularly for use in the transplantation of mesenchymal progenitor cells into a joint and/or a cranio-facial maxillary bone, for restoring and/or enhancing the formation of a new hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone structure. The composition of the invention and method of treatment employing the same may be used for the treatment of hereditary or acquired bone disorders, hereditary or acquired cartilage disorders, malignant bone or cartilage disorders, metabolic bone diseases, bone infections, conditions involving bone or cartilage deformities and Paget's disease. The composition and method may further be used for the correction of complex fractures, bone replacement and formation of new bone in plastic or sexual surgery, for support of implants of joints, cranio-facial-maxillary bones, or other musculoskeletal implants, including artificial implants. The method of the invention may further be used for treating damaged joints or degenerative arthropathy associated with malformation and/or dysfunction of cartilage and/or subchondral bone. A kit is provided for performing transplantation into a joint or a cranio-facial-maxillary bone of a mammal of the composition of the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising as an effective ingredient an oligopeptide identical or analogous to the C-terminal portion of OGP, having stimulatory activity on the production of hematopoietic cells. Preferred oligopeptides that are used are Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly, Tyr-Gly-Phe-His-Gly, Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly or Met-Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly. More specifically, these oligopeptides enhance the engraftment of bone marrow transplants, hemopoietic reconstruction, bone marrow re-population and peripheral stem cell mobilization, preferably after chemotherapy or irradiation. The invention further provides methods of treatment and for using these oligopeptides in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
摘要:
A composition comprising bone marrow cells (BMC) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and/or mineralized bone matrix (MBM), optionally comprising bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), particularly for use in bone marrow transplantation, into bone marrow cavity or into extraskeletal sites, and methods of transplantation/implantation thereof. The composition and methods of the invention enable restoring and/or enhancing the formation of hematopoiectic microenvironment originating from the transplanted BMC, and are useful in the treatment of hematopoietic disorders, such as deficiency of stem cells and/or their products, genetic conditions resulting in abnormal stem cells and/or products, or hematopoietic disorders of malignant or non-malignant origin. The composition and method of the invention may also be used for the induction of graft tolerence, for the prevention of graft-v-host disease. It is mostly important that the compositions and methods of the invention may be applied for the treatment of diseases affecting primarily or secondarily the stromal microenvironment that supports and regulates hematopoiesis. Further provided is a kit for transplantation into a mammal of BMC in admixture with DBM and/or MBM.
摘要:
A composition comprising bone marrow cells (BMC) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) or demineralized tooth matrix (DTM), together with a site-responsive polymer, optionally further comprising bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) and/or other active agents, particularly for use in the transplantation of mesenchymal progenitor cells into a joint or a cranio-facial-maxillary bone, alveolar bone of maxilla and mandibula, spine, pelvis or long bones, or for construction or reconstruction of any extra skeletal bone, including for mechanical or biological support of artificial implants to the joint or of the joint or to the bone, for restoring and/or enhancing the formation of a new hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone structure. A kit is provided for performing transplantation of the composition into a joint, maxillary or mandibular alveolar bone or any bony structure of a mammal, including support of artificial implants.
摘要:
A biochemically pure polypeptide(s), termed osteogenic growth polypeptide (OGP), which exhibits stimulatory effects on osteoblastic cells, in vivo bone formation and hemopoietic reconstruction. OGP, identified from regenerating bone marrow, has an amino acid sequence ofAla-Leu-Lys-Arg-Gln-Gly-Arg-Thr-Leu-Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly.
