摘要:
A cell preparation containing mesenchymal stem cells whose immunosuppression ability is maintained is produced by means of a serum-free or low-serum culture. A method for producing a cell preparation containing mesenchymal stem cells, comprising the steps of: (A) proliferating mesenchymal stem cells in a serum-free medium “A” containing an FGF, a PDGF, a TGF-β, an HGF, an EGF, at least one phospholipid, and at least one fatty acid; and (B) screening mesenchymal stem cells whose immunosuppression ability is maintained or improved, from the mesenchymal stem cells thus proliferated in the step (A).

Provided is a differentiation-inducing culture medium additive for inducing bone differentiation of at least one type of cell selected from the group consisting of a stem cell, a dental pulp cell, a periodontal ligament cell, a placenta, an amnion, and a fibroblast under a serum-free condition, and a use of the differentiation-inducing culture medium additive. The differentiation-inducing culture medium additive of the present invention for inducing differentiation of a stem cell under a serum-free condition at least contains at least one growth factor selected from the group consisting of EGF, FGF, and PDGF; dexamethasone; and β-glycerophosphate. The differentiation-inducing culture medium additive of the present invention does not require ascorbic acid 2-phosphate and ITS, which are normally essential for bone differentiation. Further, bone differentiation can be promoted by adding phospholipid.

Disclosed are: a culture medium containing a specific growth factor and at least one phospholipid; a composition for preparation of the culture medium; a kit; and a method. A technique can be provided which uses a serum-free or low-serum culture medium and has a promoting effect on the proliferation of an animal cell comparable to the promoting effect obtained by the culture in a serum-containing culture medium.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method for distinguishing a mesenchymal stem cell comprising, using at least one gene selected from the genes having the nucleotide sequences indicated by the accession numbers shown in Table 1 as a distinguish marker, detecting the difference in expression of the distinguish marker between a mesenchymal stem cell and a connective tissue cell to distinguish the mesenchymal stem cell from the connective tissue cell. This method enables to distinguish an undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cell from other connective tissue cell such as fibroblasts, osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipose cells with good accuracy. A mesenchymal stem cell given by this method or a composition comprising the mesenchymal stem sell can be used as a therapeutic for use in the regenerative medicine.

摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide a production method of a sheet for regenerating a cartilage tissue, which uses a conventional sheet-shaped porous body comprising a biological absorbency synthetic high polymer, such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid and a copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid. The sheet for regenerating the cartilage tissue can differentiate chondrocytes or stem cells without culturing the cells by pressurizing such as a pressurizing culture like the conventional method, and can accumulate the cells in a supporting carrier with high efficiency. The sheet for regenerating the cartilage tissue is produced by the steps of; seeding chondrocytes or stem cells differentiating to the chondrocytes on a sheet-shaped porous body comprising a biological absorbency synthetic high polymer; taking the porous body into a culture liquid; applying acceleration of 100 to 1000 G to the porous body for a predetermined time; and culturing the porous body without applying the acceleration.

This invention provides therapeutic agents, transplants and therapeutic methods that can enhance the regeneration of injured tissue. This invention relates to agents, transplants and therapeutic methods for enhancing the migration and accumulation of mesenchymal stem cells in injured tissues and/or suppressing the diffusion of mesenchymal stem cells from injured tissues.
摘要:
The present invention provides a marker for detecting, separating/distinguishing a mesenchymal stem cell and a method for detecting, separating/distinguishing a mesenchymal stem cell by using the marker. A gene shown in the sequence listing is expressed specifically in a mesenchymal stem cell. The present invention comprises use of the gene as a marker for detecting mesenchymal stem cells. In addition, the present invention comprises a probe for detecting the mesenchymal stem cell marker gene and a PCR primer for amplifying the gene in a test cell in detecting the mesenchymal stem cell gene marker, and further comprises a polypeptide marker for detecting mesenchymal stem cells comprising a polypeptide wherein the mesenchymal stem cell marker gene of the present invention is expressed, an antibody for detecting the polypeptide marker which specifically binds to the polypeptide marker, and still further, a method for distinguishing and separating a mesenchymal stem cell by using a probe for detecting the mesenchymal stem cell marker gene, and an antibody which specifically binds to a polypeptide marker.
