    Abstract: The present inventors have found that HMGB1 fragment peptides having a particular amino acid sequence exhibit the effects of improvement of cardiac function, inhibition of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, inhibition of myocardial fibrosis, and promotion of angiogenesis in an animal model of dilated cardiomyopathy, that the particular HMGB1 fragment peptides also exhibit the effects of improvement of cardiac function, inhibition of cardiomegaly, inhibition of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, inhibition of myocardial fibrosis, and promotion of angiogenesis in an animal model of ischemic cardiomyopathy caused by old myocardial infarction, and that the particular HMGB1 fragment peptides exhibit the effects of inhibition of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and inhibition of myocardial fibrosis in an animal model of hypertensive cardiomyopathy. Based on these findings, pharmaceutical compositions are provided for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiomyopathy and old myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure resulting therefrom, which comprise an HMGB1 fragment peptide having a particular amino acid sequence.

    Abstract: The inventors of the present invention searched for a substance that is effective in treating a cartilage disorder, and as a result, found that, in an animal model of joint cartilage deficiency, an HMGB1 fragment peptide having a specific amino acid sequence exhibits the effect of reproducing a healthy cartilage tissue including a hyaline cartilage. Based on this finding, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition that contains the specific HMGB1 fragment peptide and that is for preventing and/or treating a cartilage disorder.

    Abstract: The present inventors identified many nuclear proteins contained in the extract of skin tissue by mass spectrometry, randomly selected multiple partial amino acid sequences of the nuclear proteins, chemically synthesized peptides consisting of the partial amino acid sequences, and examined their activity of mobilizing mesenchymal stem cells. As a result, it was found that these multiple peptides show the activity of mobilizing mesenchymal stem cells into peripheral blood, even though their amino acid sequences are completely different from each other. The inventors also found that fragment peptides of the nuclear proteins have therapeutic effects on diseases characterized by inflammation and abnormalities of the immune system (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis). Based on these findings, a new regenerative medicine technology that can overcome the problems of cell transplantation therapy is provided.

    Abstract: The present inventors discovered that an HMGB1 fragment peptide having a particular amino acid sequence exhibits effects of inhibiting finger adhesion and digestive tract scarring and prolonging survival in the dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa model mice. Also in the skin ulcer model, administration of the specific HMGB1 fragment peptide was found to inhibit the fibrosing of skin during the healing process of the ulcer. Based on these findings, the present application provides pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of fibrotic diseases, which comprise the specific HMGB1 fragment peptide.

    Abstract: The present inventors revealed the following for the first time in the world:



    1) a large amount of bone marrow-derived cells are mobilized to grafted skin;
    2) the mobilized bone marrow-derived cells are differentiated into any of dermal fibroblasts, adipocytes, muscle cells, vascular endothelial cells, and epidermal keratinocytes in the grafted skin, and the mobilized bone marrow-derived cells include bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells;
    3) the factors which mobilize bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from peripheral blood to the grafted skin are HMGB1, HMGB2, and HMGB3 released from the necrosed tissue of recipient skin;
    4) purified HMGB1, HMGB2, and HMGB3 promote the migration of mesenchymal stem cells isolated and cultured from bone marrow;
    5) activators containing HMGB1 which allows the migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be conveniently purified from several organ extracts including skin, brain, and heart;
    6) activators which allow the migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be conveniently extracted from cultured cells; and
    7) a heparin-column purified fraction of skin extract mobilizes a large amount of bone marrow-derived cells in case of brain injury.
