Specifically, it was evaluated in which direction the rat first walked with only the front legs of the rat on the ground and the back legs floating in the air. The direction was left: -1 point, straight: 0 point, right: 0 point, and evaluated by quantifying the average value obtained by performing the test six times. The normal rat goes straight, so it becomes 0 point, and the rat that made the right cerebral infarction moves counterclockwise, so a value close to -1 point comes out.

On the other hand, in the cell suspension administration used as a comparison, no improvement in motor function was confirmed even after administration. Similarly, the cell-containing CBE3 sponge for comparison did not show a significant effect like a mosaic cell mass, and the motor function remained flat.
- the GFP-expressing rat MSC used for transplantation is a Fischer rat cell and the administered cerebral infarction rat is an SD rat, it was found that the effect of treating cerebral infarction can also be obtained with other (allogeneic) cells.

It was found that there was a very significant improvement in motor function of left-turning behavior. In addition, the effect of improvement was higher in the mosaic cell mass having a larger number of cells. On the other hand, in the cell suspension administration used as a comparison, the improvement of motor function was not observed at all in the group of few cells (0.38 ⁇ 10 6 cells / animal).
- Example 36 Improvement of motor function in cerebral infarction rat (hMSC mosaic cell mass) As a result of Example 35, as shown in FIG. 11, in the state where hMSC was used as the cells, the mosaic cell mass was administered after 14 days (administered on the 7th day in the graph), 14 days, 21 days, 28 days, 35 days. It was found that there was a very significant improvement in motor function of left-turning behavior. From this, it became clear that the effect can be confirmed in the state using human cells.

(1-1)生体性親和性高分子
生体性親和性とは、生体に接触した際に、長期的かつ慢性的な炎症反応などのような顕著な有害反応を惹起しないことを意味する。本発明で用いる生体親和性高分子は、生体に親和性を有するものであれば、生体内で分解されるか否かは特に限定されないが、生分解性高分子であることが好ましい。非生分解性材料として具体的には、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)、ポリウレタン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル、塩化ビニル、ポリカーボネート、アクリル、ステンレス、チタン、シリコーンおよびMPC(2-メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリン)などが挙げられる。生分解性材料としては、具体的にはリコンビナントペプチドなどのポリペプチド(例えば、以下に説明するゼラチン等)、ポリ乳酸、ポリグリコール酸、乳酸・グリコール酸コポリマー(PLGA)、ヒアルロン酸、グリコサミノグリカン、プロテオグリカン、コンドロイチン、セルロース、アガロース、カルボキシメチルセルロース、キチン、およびキトサンなどが挙げられる。上記の中でも、リコンビナントペプチドが特に好ましい。これら生体親和性高分子には細胞接着性を高める工夫がなされていてもよい。具体的には、1.「基材表面に対する細胞接着基質(フィブロネクチン、ビトロネクチン、ラミニン)や細胞接着配列(アミノ酸一文字表記で現わされる、RGD配列、LDV配列、REDV配列、YIGSR配列、PDSGR配列、RYVVLPR配列、LGTIPG配列、RNIAEIIKDI配列、IKVAV配列、LRE配列、DGEA配列、及びHAV配列)ペプチドによるコーティング」、「基材表面のアミノ化、カチオン化」、又は「基材表面のプラズマ処理、コロナ放電による親水性処理」といった方法を使用できる。
本発明で用いる生体親和性高分子は、架橋されているものでもよいし、架橋されていないものでもよいが、架橋されているものが好ましい。架橋されている生体親和性高分子を使用することにより、培地中で培養する際および生体に移植した際に瞬時に分解してしまうことを防ぐという効果が得られる。一般的な架橋方法としては、熱架橋、アルデヒド類(例えば、ホルムアルデヒド、グルタルアルデヒドなど)による架橋、縮合剤(カルボジイミド、シアナミドなど)による架橋、酵素架橋、光架橋、紫外線架橋、疎水性相互作用、水素結合、イオン性相互作用などが知られている。本発明ではグルタルアルデヒドを使用しない架橋方法を使用することが好ましい。本発明では、アルデヒド類又は縮合剤を使用しない架橋方法を使用することがより好ましい。即ち、本発明における生体親和性高分子ブロックは、好ましくは、グルタルアルデヒドを含まない生体親和性高分子ブロックであり、より好ましくは、アルデヒド類又は縮合剤を含まない生体親和性高分子ブロックである。本発明で使用する架橋方法としては、さらに好ましくは熱架橋、紫外線架橋、又は酵素架橋であり、特に好ましくは熱架橋である。

厚さ1mm、直径47mmのアルミ製円筒カップ状容器を用意した。円筒カップは曲面を側面としたとき、側面は1mmのアルミで閉鎖されており、底面(平板の円形状)も1mmのアルミで閉鎖されている。一方、上面は開放された形をしている。また、側面の内部にのみ、肉厚1mmのテフロン(登録商標)を均一に敷き詰め、結果として円筒カップの内径は45mmになっている。以後、この容器のことを円筒形容器と呼称する。
条件a:棚板温度-40℃、硝子板の厚さ2.2mm、CBE3水溶液の最終濃度12質量%、水溶液量4mL。
条件b:棚板温度-60℃、硝子板の厚さ2.2mm、CBE3水溶液の最終濃度7.5質量%、水溶液量4mL。
条件c:棚板温度-40℃、硝子板の厚さ2.2mm、CBE3水溶液の最終濃度4.0質量%、水溶液量4mL。
50℃で、2000mgのCBE3を18mLの超純水に溶解し、終濃度10質量%のCBE3溶液を20mL作製する。そのCBE3溶液を薄く伸ばして4mm厚程度の薄い板状のゲルを作製した。容器については、白い板に、シリコン枠(5cm×10cm程度)をつけて、空気の隙間がないようにしっかりとシリコン枠を押し付けたものを使用した。上記の枠内へ上記のCBE3溶液(50℃)を流し込んだ。液を流し込んだら、4℃へ移して約1時間ゲル化させ、固まっていることを確認した後、-80℃へ移して、ゲルを3時間凍結させた。凍結後、凍結乾燥機(EYELA、FDU-1000)で凍結乾燥を行った。尚、この時に得られた凍結乾燥体は多孔質体ではあり、平均ポアサイズが57.35μmとなっていた。以後、これを単純凍結多孔質体と呼称する。
実施例2で得られたCBE3多孔質体および比較例1で得られた単純凍結多孔質体について、多孔質体の空孔サイズと空間占有率の評価を実施した。得られた多孔質体を160℃で20時間の熱架橋を施し、不溶化したのち、十分時間、生理食塩水で膨潤した。その後、ミクロトームで凍結組織切片を作製し、HE(ヘマトキシリン・エオシン)染色標本を作製した。 標本から実スケール1.5mm大の断面像を用意し、個々の空孔面積を計測し、その後、上記面積を円換算した場合の円直径を算出し、空孔サイズとした。この空孔の20ヶ以上の平均値を平均空孔サイズとした。その結果、条件aの多孔質体は66.39μm、条件bの多孔質体は63.17μm、条件cの多孔質体は56.36μmであった。
実施例2で得られたCBE3多孔質体について、空孔率を測定した。測定に当たっては、嵩密度(ρ)と真密度(ρc)を測定し、空孔率(P = 1-ρ/ρc(%))を求めた。CBE3多孔質体の嵩密度(ρ)は、乾燥質量と体積から算出した。真密度(ρc)は、ハバード型形の比重瓶法により求めた。サンプル数(N)=4の結果として、条件cの多孔質体では嵩密度が0.05g/cm3、真密度が1.23g/cm3、空孔率96%(変動係数(CV)値は8%)であることが明らかになった。また、条件a及び条件bの多孔質体ではそれぞれ空孔率が87%(CV値は10%)及び92%(CV値は7%)であることが分かった。
実施例2で得られた条件a、条件b及び条件cのCBE3多孔質体をニューパワーミル(大阪ケミカル、ニューパワーミルPM-2005)で粉砕した。粉砕は、最大回転数で1分間×5回、計5分間の粉砕で行った。得られた粉砕物について、ステンレス製ふるいでサイズ分けし、25~53μm、53~106μm、106μm~180μmのCBE3ブロックを得た。 その後、減圧下160℃で熱架橋(架橋時間は24時間、48時間、56時間、60時間、72時間、84時間、96時間、120時間、288時間の9種類を実施した)を施して、試料を得た。以下、条件aの53~106μmを「12%中」、条件bの25~53μmを「7.5%小」、条件bの53~106μmを「7.5%中」、条件bの106~180μmを「7.5%大」、条件cの53~106μmを「4%中」と呼ぶ。
特許文献5に記載されているグルタルアルデヒドを使用する比較例として、基材としてリコンビナントペプチドCBE3を用いて、不定形のGA架橋μブロックを作製した。1000mgのCBE3を9448μLの超純水に溶解し、1mol/LのHClを152μL添加後、終濃度1.0質量%となるように、25質量%グルタルアルデヒドを400μL添加し、50℃で3時間反応させ、架橋ゲルを作製した。この架橋ゲルを、1Lの0.2Mグリシン溶液へ浸漬し、40℃2時間振とうさせた。その後、架橋ゲルを、5Lの超純水中で1時間振とう洗浄、超純水を新しい物へ置換し、再び洗浄1時間、を繰り返し、計6回洗浄した。洗浄後の架橋ゲルを、-80℃で5時間凍結させた後、凍結乾燥機(EYELA、FDU-1000)で凍結乾燥を行った。得られた凍結乾燥体を、ニューパワーミル(大阪ケミカル、ニューパワーミルPM-2005)で粉砕した。粉砕は、最大回転数で1分間×5回、計5分間の粉砕で行った。得られた粉砕物について、ステンレス製ふるいでサイズ分けし、25~53μmのCBE3・GA架橋μブロックを得た。
比較例として、従来技術(特許文献5)から類推されるグルタルアルデヒドを含まない工程で作製した場合にできる比較用リコンビナントペプチドブロックを、以下に記載の通り作製した。基材としてリコンビナントペプチドCBE3を用いてブロックを作製した。比較例1で得られた単純凍結多孔質体を、ニューパワーミル(大阪ケミカル、ニューパワーミルPM-2005)で粉砕した。粉砕は、最大回転数で1分間×5回、計5分間の粉砕で行った。得られた粉砕物について、ステンレス製ふるいでサイズ分けし、25~53μmのCBE3ブロックを得た。それを160℃のオーブンに入れ、72時間熱架橋した。
タップ密度は、ある体積にどれくらいのブロックを密に充填できるかを表す値であり、値が小さいほど、密に充填できない、すなわちブロックの構造が複雑であると言える。タップ密度は、以下のように測定した。まず、ロートの先にキャップ(直径6mm、長さ21.8mmの円筒状:容量0.616cm3)が付いたものを用意し、キャップのみの質量を測定した。その後、ロートにキャップを付け、ブロックがキャップに溜まるようにロートから流し込んだ。十分量のブロックを入れた後、キャップ部分を200回、机などの硬いところにたたきつけ、ロートをはずし、スパチュラですりきりにした。このキャップにすりきり一杯入った状態で質量を測定した。キャップのみの質量との差からブロックのみの質量を算出し、キャップの体積で割ることで、タップ密度を求めた。
一方、実施例5のブロックは「12%中」が372mg/cm3、「7.5%小」が213mg/cm3、「7.5%中」が189mg/cm3、「7.5%大」が163mg/cm3、「4%中」が98mg/cm3であった。実施例5のブロックでは、構造の複雑性に由来して、比較例3のブロックに対して、タップ密度は小さくなることが分かった。
ブロックの複雑性を示す指標として、ブロックの「面積の平方根」と「周囲長」の関係を求めた。すなわち、ブロックの「面積の平方根÷周囲長」の値が小さい方がより複雑であると言える。この値は、画像解析ソフトを用いて算出した。まず、ブロックの形が分かる画像を用意した。具体的に、本実施例では、水で良く膨潤させたブロック群を、ミクロトームで凍結切片にし、HE(ヘマトキシリン・エオシン))染色した標本を用いた。ブロック以外に細胞などが存在する場合は、photoshop(登録商標)で、自動選択ツールで製剤のみを抽出し、画像上にブロックのみとなるようにする。その画像を、Imagej(登録商標)を用いて、ブロックの面積と周囲長を求め、「面積の平方根÷周囲長」の値を算出した。ただし、10μm以下のブロックは除いた。
一方、実施例5のブロックは、「12%中」が0.112、「7.5%小」が0.083、「7.5%中」が0.082、「7.5%大」が0.071、「4%中」が0.061であった。実施例5のブロックでは、構造の複雑性に由来して、比較例3のブロックに対して、「面積の平方根÷周囲長」の値は小さくなり、また、タップ密度と相関があることも分かった。

各モザイク細胞塊中の細胞が産生・保持しているATP(アデノシン三リン酸)量を定量した。ATPは生物全般のエネルギー源として知られ、ATP合成量・保持量を定量することで、細胞の代謝活性の状態、活動状態を知ることができる。測定には、CellTiter-Glo(Promega社)を用いた。実施例8および比較例4、比較例5で作製したモザイク細胞塊について、ともにDay7のもので、CellTiter-Gloを用いて、各モザイク細胞塊中のATP量を定量した。その結果、GA架橋μブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊に比べ、比較用のCBE3ブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊では、ATP量が少ない結果となった。一方、本発明用のCBE3ブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊は、GA架橋μブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊よりもATP量が多いことが分かった。これは本発明用のCBE3ブロックが、「12%中」、「7.5%小」、「7.5%中」、「7.5%大」、「4%中」いずれの場合においても、同様に、GA架橋μブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊よりも多くのATPを産生している結果となった(図1)。つまり、複雑な構造を持つ本発明用のCBE3ブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊の方が、内部の細胞の生存状態が良好であることが明らかになった。
同様に、GA架橋の比較例2の場合、「面積の平方根÷周囲長」が0.248で性能が得られていたが、GA(グルタルアルデヒド)を用いない比較例3では0.139でも性能が得られなかった。一方で、実施例5の「12%中」:0.112、「7.5%小」:0.083、「7.5%中」:0.082、「7.5%大」:0.071、「4%中」:0.061で性能が得られていることから、GAを用いない場合では、特に「面積の平方根÷周囲長」が0.13以下であることが重要だとわかる。
実施例10のように1mmのモザイク細胞塊を融合して、巨大なモザイク細胞塊を作製することは可能であるが、一度に巨大なモザイク細胞塊を作製できる方が、操作を簡便化できる。ここで、細胞の接着しない加工を施したスミロンセルタイトの9cmシャーレに、を増殖培地(タカラバイオ:MSCGM BulletKit(登録商標))で1.5質量%アガロース(Agarose S)溶液を50mL入れた。その際、1cm四方の棒状にしたシリコンを5mm程度アガロース溶液中に浸るように固定し、アガロースが固まった後、シリコンを取り除き、アガロース中に1cm四方の窪みができた容器を作成した。そこに増殖培地を適量入れ、ゲルが乾かないように保存した。培地を取り除き、実施例5で作製したブロックの内、代表的な「7.5%中」16mgと、250万cellsのヒト骨髄由来間葉系幹細胞(hMSC)の懸濁物を窪みに入れ、その後静かに25mLの増殖培地を添加した。1日培養後、1cm四方、厚さ2-3mmの巨大モザイク細胞塊を作製できた。これを、25mLの増殖培地を入れたスミロンセルタイトの9cmシャーレに移し、さらに2日培養後、25mLの増殖培地を入れたスピナーフラスコに移して攪拌培養し、培養7日後のモザイク細胞塊の断面のHE染色標本を作製した。その結果、培養7日後でも内部の細胞が生存していることを確認した。このように、細胞とブロックを混合し、型に流して培養することで、巨大なモザイク細胞塊を作製可能であることが明らかになった。また、この方法は、GA架橋μブロック、比較用ブロック及び本発明用のブロックの何れでも可能であり、ブロックの種類に依存しない。
マウスはNOD/SCID(チャールズリバー)のオス、4~6週齢のものを用いた。麻酔下でマウス腹部の体毛を除去し、上腹部の皮下に切れ込みを入れ、切れ込みからはさみを差し込み、皮膚を筋肉からはがした後、実施例10、実施例11、比較例6、及び比較例7で作成したモザイク細胞塊をピンセットですくい、切れ込みから1.5cmほど下腹部寄りの皮下に移植し、皮膚の切れ込み部を縫合した。
解剖は移植から1週後及び2週後に行った。腹部の皮膚をはがし、モザイク細胞塊が付着した皮膚を、約1平方cmの正方形の大きさに切り取った。モザイク細胞塊が腹部の筋肉にも付着している場合は、筋肉と共に採取した。
モザイク細胞塊が付着した皮膚片および、移植前のモザイク細胞塊について組織切片を作製した。皮膚を4%パラホルムアルデヒドに浸漬し、ホルマリン固定を行った。その後、パラフィンで包埋し、モザイク細胞塊を含む皮膚の組織切片を作製した。切片はHE染色(ヘマトキシリン・エオシン染色)を行った。
比較例7のGA架橋μブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊(図2のA:生細胞数100個:生存率80%)に比べ、比較例6のブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊(図2のB:生細胞数37個:生存率45%)では、生細胞が少ないことが分かる。一方、実施例10の本発明用のブロック(「7.5%中」)を用いたモザイク細胞塊(図2のC:生細胞数116個:生存率84%)は、比較例6のブロックを用いたモザイク細胞塊(図2のB:生細胞数37個:生存率45%)に比べて、生細胞が多く、生存が良好であることが分かった。この結果は、実施例12でのin vitroアッセイの結果とも一致し、本発明用のブロックを採用することによって、移植した細胞の生存を良くすることが可能であることが分かった。
106~180μmサイズの「7.5%大」の生存率は57%であり、「7.5%小」の生存率は62%であり、「7.5%中」の生存率は84%であり、「4%中」の生存率は82%であった。即ち、本発明用のブロック群内間では、106~180μmサイズの「7.5%大」よりも、「7.5%小」、「7.5%中」、「4%中」が更に細胞の生存が良くなることが分かった(図3)。また、最上の移植結果をもたらすものとしては、「7.5%中」と「4%中」が、「7.5%小」よりも、移植細胞の生存が良いことも分かった(図3)。即ち、高分子ブロックのタップ密度又は高分子ブロックの二次元断面像における断面積の平方根÷周囲長の値が所定の範囲内となるような構造を有することが重要であり、中でも、「53~106μm」>「25~53μm」>「106~180μm」という順で移植後の細胞生存が良くなることも分かった。
実施例9の内、代表的な「7.5%中」を用いたモザイク細胞塊は、切片をhECFC染色用にCD31抗体(EPT Anti CD31/PECAM-1)にDAB発色を用いたキット(ダコLSAB2キット ユニバーサル K0673 ダコLSAB2キット/HRP(DAB) ウサギ・マウス一次抗体両用)による免疫染色を行った。画像処理ソフトImageJ(登録商標)、CD31抗体による染色方法を使用し、中心部のhECFC(血管系の細胞)の面積の割合を求めた。なお、ここでいう「中心部」とは上記定義したものである。
その結果、実施例9の代表的な「7.5%中」モザイク細胞塊の中心部のhECFC(血管系の細胞)の面積の割合は99%であった。
その結果、実施例9の代表的な「7.5%中」モザイク細胞塊の中心部のhECFC(血管系の細胞)の細胞数は2.58×10-4cells/μm3であった。
厚さ1mm、直径47mmのアルミ製円筒カップ状容器を用意した。円筒カップは曲面を側面としたとき、側面は1mmのアルミで閉鎖されており、底面(平板の円形状)も1mmのアルミで閉鎖されている。一方、上面は開放された形をしている。また、側面の内部にのみ、肉厚1mmのテフロン(登録商標)を均一に敷き詰め、結果として円筒カップの内径は45mmになっている。以後、この容器のことを円筒形容器と呼称する。
A 棚板温度-40℃で硝子板2.2mm、液量4mLは、-9.2℃
B 棚板温度-40℃で硝子板1.1mm、液量4mLは、-8.3℃
C 棚板温度-40℃で硝子板0.7mm、液量4mLは、-2.2℃
D 棚板温度-60℃で硝子板2.2mm、液量4mLは、-7.2℃
尚、ここでいうDが実施例2でいうところの「条件b」である。
E 棚板温度-80℃で硝子板2.2mm、液量4mLは、-3.9℃
F 棚板温度-80℃で硝子板1.1mm、液量4mLは、-3.1℃
G 棚板温度-80℃で硝子板0.7mm、液量4mLは、 5.8℃
H 棚板温度-40℃で硝子板2.2mm、液量12mLは、-6.5℃

また、C、G及びIが未凍結状態で内部最高液温が「溶媒融点-3℃」以下の液温をとらない凍結工程による製造法である。(内部最高液温>「溶媒融点-3℃」の凍結リコンビナントペプチドブロック)
実施例18で得られたCBE3多孔質体について、多孔質の空孔サイズと空孔形状の評価を実施した。得られた多孔質体を160℃、20時間の熱架橋を施し、不溶化したのち、十分時間、生理食塩水で膨潤。その後、ミクロトームで凍結組織切片を作製し、HE(ヘマトキシリン・エオシン))染色標本を作製した。
得られた標本の中心部分の画像を図7(内部最高液温>「溶媒融点-3℃」、と、内部最高液温≦「溶媒融点-3℃」)に示した。その結果、内部最高液温>「溶媒融点-3℃」(C,G,I)では、空孔は80%以上が柱/平板孔となり、球孔は20%以下であった。一方、内部最高液温≦「溶媒融点-3℃」(A,B,D,E,F,H)では、空孔は50%以上が球孔となっていた。また、この内部最高液温≦「溶媒融点-7℃」(A,B,D)では、空孔は80%以上が球孔となっており、ほぼ全てが球孔で構成されていた。これにより、多孔質体の空孔形状を球孔にするには、未凍結状態で内部最高液温が「溶媒融点-3℃」以下となることが重要で、更に「溶媒融点-7℃」以下とすることで、空孔の形状をほぼ全て球孔にすることができることが分かった。
A:球孔100%、62.74μm
B:球孔100%、65.36μm
C:柱/平板孔90%、79.19μm
D:球孔100%、63.17μm
E:球孔70%、69.44μm
F:球孔50%、53.98μm
G:柱/平板孔90%、79.48μm
H:球孔80%、76.58μm
I:柱/平板孔90%、79.65μm
実施例19で得られたCBE3多孔質体をニューパワーミル(大阪ケミカル、ニューパワーミルPM-2005)で粉砕した。粉砕は、最大回転数で1分間×5回、計5分間の粉砕で行った。得られた粉砕物について、ステンレス製ふるいでサイズ分けし、25~53μm及び53~106μmのリコンビナントペプチドブロックを得た。その後、減圧下160℃で72時間、熱架橋を施して、試料を得た。これらの試料は、タップ密度が10mg/cm3以上500mg/cm3以下であること、又は上記高分子ブロックの二次元断面像における断面積の平方根÷周囲長の値が0.01以上0.13以下であることを充足するものであった。これらの試料を使用して実施例8及び実施例10と同じようにして作製したモザイク細胞塊ではA~Iによらず、実施例12と同じin vitroアッセイ、並びに実施例14~16と同じ評価による動物への移植結果において、いずれも、比較用ブロックよりも高い性能(細胞の高い生存率)を示した。ただ、これらのA~Iの中で性能差を見ると僅かな差が生じており、A、B、Dが最も性能が高く、ついでE、F、H、その後にC、G、Iがくるという順番になっていた。つまり、これは多孔質体の空孔形状によって、性能差を生じうることを示している。実施例16では、代表的な結果としてD(実施例2でいうところの「条件b」)について詳細に記述している。
底面厚さ3mm、直径51mm、側面厚さ8mm、高さ25mmのポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)製円筒カップ状容器を用意した。円筒カップは曲面を側面としたとき、側面は8mmのPTFEで閉鎖されており、底面(平板の円形状)も3mmのPTFEで閉鎖されている。一方、上面は開放された形をしている。よって、円筒カップの内径は43mmになっている。以後、この容器のことをPTFE厚・円筒形容器と呼称する。
PTFE厚・円筒形容器、CBE3水溶液の最終濃度4質量%、水溶液量8mL。
棚板温度の設定は、-10℃になるまで冷却し、-10℃で1時間、その後-20℃で2時間、さらに-40℃で3時間、最後に-50℃で1時間凍結を行った。本凍結品はその後、棚板温度を-20℃設定に戻してから-20℃で24時間の真空乾燥を行い、24時間後にそのまま真空乾燥を続けた状態で棚板温度を20℃へ上昇させ、十分に真空度が下がる(1.9×105Pa)まで、さらに20℃で48時間の真空乾燥を実施した後に、真空凍結乾燥機から取り出した。それによって多孔質体を得た。
実施例21の溶液内で、実施例18と同様にして未凍結状態での内部最高液温を測定した。その結果、棚板温度-10℃設定区間(-20℃度に下げる前)において液温が融点である0℃を下回り、かつその状態で凍結が起こっていない(未凍結・過冷却)状態となった。その後、棚板温度を-20℃へ更に下げていくことによって、液温が0℃付近へ急激に上昇するタイミングが確認され、ここで凝固熱が発生し凍結が開始されたことが分かった。また、そのタイミングで実際に氷形成が始まっていることも確認出来た。その後、温度は0℃付近を一定時間経過していく。ここでは、水と氷の混合物が存在する状態となっていた。最後0℃から再び温度降下が始まるが、この時、液体部分はなくなり氷となっている。従って、測定している温度は氷内部の固体温度となり、つまり液温ではなくなる(図9を参照)。
一方、水面付近の内部最高液温(非冷却面液温)に対して、冷却側に最も近い位置の温度を冷却面液温、と定義し測定した場合の冷却面液温と内部最高液温(非冷却面液温)の差温を以下に記す。
非冷却面液温が融点(0℃)になった時の差温、棚板温度を-10℃から-20℃へ下げる直前の差温と、凝固熱発生直前の差温を記載する。尚、本発明で言うところの「直前の差温」とは、上記イベントの1秒前~20秒前までの間で検知可能な温度差の内、最も高い温度のことを表している。
非冷却面液温が融点(0℃)になった時の差温:1.1℃
-10℃から-20℃へ下げる直前の差温:0.2℃
凝固熱発生直前の差温:1.1℃
(図9を参照)
実施例21で得られたCBE3多孔質体をニューパワーミル(大阪ケミカル、ニューパワーミルPM-2005)で粉砕した。粉砕は、最大回転数で1分間×5回、計5分間の粉砕で行った。得られた粉砕物について、ステンレス製ふるいでサイズ分けし、25~53μm、53~106μm、106μm~180μmの未架橋ブロックを得た。その後、減圧下160℃で熱架橋(架橋時間は8時間、16時間、24時間、48時間、72時間、96時間の6種類を実施した)を施して、試料CBE3ブロックを得た。以下、48時間架橋を施した。尚、架橋時間の違いは本願の評価においては性能に影響が見られない為、ここでは48時間架橋したものを代表として使用している。
実施例23で作製したCBE3ブロック(53~106μm)について、実施例6と同様にして、タップ密度を測定した。その結果、実施例23のCBE3ブロックは135mg/cm3であった。このことから実施例23のCBE3ブロックは実施例12及び実施例20でいうところの、タップ密度が10mg/cm3以上500mg/cm3以下であることを充足するものであることが分かる。
実施例23で作製したCBE3ブロック(53~106μm)について、実施例7と同様にして、「面積の平方根÷周囲長」の値を測定した。その結果、実施例23のブロックは0.053であった。このことから実施例23のCBE3ブロックは実施例12及び実施例20でいうところの、断面積の平方根÷周囲長の値が0.01以上0.13以下であることを充足するものであることが分かる。
GFP(緑色蛍光タンパク質)発現ラット骨髄由来間葉系幹細胞(GFPラットMSC:Fischer 344 (F344) Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells with GFP、CSC-C1313、Creative Bioarray)を推奨増殖培地にて10万cells/mLに調整し、実施例23で作製したCBE3ブロック(53~106μm)を0.1mg/mLとなるように加えた。得られた混合物200μLをスミロンセルタイトX96Uプレート(住友ベークライト、底がU字型)に播種し、卓上プレート遠心機で遠心(600g、5分)し、24時間静置し、直径1mmの球状の、CBE3ブロックとhMSC細胞からなるモザイク細胞塊を作製した(細胞1個当たり0.001μgのブロック)。なお、U字型のプレート中で作製したため、本モザイク細胞塊は球状であった(GFP発現ラットMSCモザイク細胞塊、と呼称する)。尚、本モザイク細胞塊は、実施例12と同じin vitroアッセイ、並びに実施例14~16と同じ評価による動物への移植結果において、いずれも、実施例20のDを用いたモザイク細胞塊と同程度の高い性能(細胞の高い生存率)を示した。
SD(Sprague-Dawley)ラット骨髄細胞(ラットBMSC、BMC01、コスモバイオ社)を推奨増殖培地(コスモバイオ社:骨髄細胞用培養メディウム、BMCM)にて15万cells/mLに調整し、実施例23で作製したCBE3ブロック(53-106μm)を0.15mg/mLとなるように加えた。得られた混合物200μLをスミロンセルタイトX96Uプレート(住友ベークライト、底がU字型)に播種し、卓上プレート遠心機で遠心(600g、5分)し、24時間静置し、直径1mmの球状の、CBE3ブロックとhMSC細胞からなるモザイク細胞塊を作製した(細胞1個当たり0.001μgのブロック)。なお、U字型のプレート中で作製したため、本モザイク細胞塊は球状であった。尚、本モザイク細胞塊は、実施例12と同じin vitroアッセイ、並びに実施例14~16と同じ評価による動物への移植結果において、いずれも、実施例20のDを用いたモザイク細胞塊と同程度の高い性能(細胞の高い生存率)を示した。
ヒト骨髄由来間葉系幹細胞(hMSC)を増殖培地(タカラバイオ:MSCGM BulletKit(登録商標))にて10万cells/mLに調整し、実施例23で作製したCBE3ブロック(53-106μm)を0.1mg/mLとなるように加えた。得られた混合物200μLをスミロンセルタイトX96Uプレート(住友ベークライト、底がU字型)に播種し、卓上プレート遠心機で遠心(600g、5分)し、24時間静置し、直径1mmの球状の、CBE3ブロックとhMSC細胞からなるモザイク細胞塊を作製した(細胞1個当たり0.001μgのブロック)。なお、U字型のプレート中で作製したため、本モザイク細胞塊は球状であった。尚、本モザイク細胞塊は、実施例12と同じin vitroアッセイ、並びに実施例14~16と同じ評価による動物への移植結果において、いずれも、実施例20のDを用いたモザイク細胞塊と同程度の高い性能(細胞の高い生存率)を示した。
実施例21で得られたCBE3多孔質体をφ5mm×1mmに成型し、CBE3スポンジを得た。このCBE3スポンジに対して、GFP発現ラット骨髄由来間葉系幹細胞(GFPラットMSC:Fischer 344 (F344) Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells with GFP、CSC-C1313、Creative Bioarray)を、推奨培地に懸濁した状態で1.2×104cells/個を播種し、24日間培養することで0.5×106cells/個まで細胞を増殖させた。これにより細胞含有CBE3スポンジを得た。
SDラット雄9週令に対して、「Neurosurgery. 68(6):1733-1742, June 2011, T Sugiyama et. al. Therapeutic Impact of Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Expanded by Animal Serum-Free Medium for Cerebral Infarct in Rats」の方法と同様にして、中大脳動脈閉塞術(MCAO)を施すことで右脳に脳梗塞を作製した。イソフルラン麻酔下で、ラット右側側頭部を開頭、頭蓋骨をあけて右脳側中大脳動脈を縫合糸で結紮した。視野内の血管をバイポーラコアレユレータで焼灼し、閉頭した。その後、頚動脈を90分間一時結紮し、血流を再開させることで、脳梗塞モデルを作製した。
なお、運動機能評価としては、Rotarodによる運動機能評価、または左旋回行動の改善を定量化することで評価した。Rotarodの評価は、4-40rpmへ300秒で加速していく設定とし、1日6回の試験を各回5分以上の間隔をあけて実施した。この6回の試験の平均値を、同個体の正常時の数値に対する割合(%)として評価した(正常ならば100%となる)。
免疫不全ヌード(Nude)ラット雄9週令に対して、実施例29と同様にして、中大脳動脈閉塞術(MCAO)を施した右脳の脳梗塞を作製した。この運動機能評価も実施例29と同様の方法で左旋回行動の評価を行った。
実施例29で作製したMCAOモデルSDラットに対して、発症後(MCAO処置後)7日の時に、実施例26で作製したGFP発現ラットMSCモザイク細胞塊、また比較例として同じ細胞をPBS100μLに懸濁した状態の細胞懸濁液、また比較例8で作製した細胞含有CBE3スポンジを局所投与として、脳損傷部位付近に直接埋殖することにより投与した。
投与した量は、GFP発現ラットMSCモザイク細胞塊は25個/匹(細胞数では0.5×106 cells/匹=1.34×106cells/kg体重)、細胞懸濁液は0.5×106cells/匹、細胞含有CBE3スポンジは1個/匹(細胞数では0.5×106cells/匹)とし、投与群間で投与された細胞数を合わせた状態にて比較評価した。尚、動物の個体数は各群10匹で実施した。
実施例31の結果、図10に示す通り、GFP発現ラットMSCを細胞として用いた状態で、モザイク細胞塊では投与後(グラフで7日目に投与)に、14日、21日と非常に顕著な運動機能の改善が認められることが分かった。一方、比較として用いた細胞懸濁液投与では、投与後も運動機能の改善は全く確認されなかった。同様に、比較である細胞含有CBE3スポンジでもモザイク細胞塊のような顕著な効果は確認されず、運動機能は横ばいのままであった。尚、モザイク細胞塊、及び細胞懸濁液の投与については、同じ実験を2回行っている為、グラフ中に「2回目」というデータを示している。
このことから、運動機能の改善効果の大きさは、「モザイク細胞塊」≫「細胞含有スポンジ」≧「細胞懸濁液」となることが分かった。また、梗塞発生から7日目という急性期において使用しても効果が得られることが分かった。これは48時間以内の超急性期でなくても効果が得られることを意味している。さらに、移植に用いたGFP発現ラットMSCはFischerラット細胞であり、投与された脳梗塞ラットはSDラットであることから、他家(同種)細胞でも脳梗塞治療効果が得られることが分かった。
実施例29で作製したMCAOモデルSDラットに対して、発症後(MCAO処置後)7日の時に、実施例27で作製したSDラット骨髄細胞モザイク細胞塊、また比較例として同じ細胞をPBS100μLに懸濁した状態の細胞懸濁液を局所投与として、脳損傷部位付近に直接注射器で注入することにより投与した。
投与した量は、SDラット骨髄細胞モザイク細胞塊は53個/匹、13個/匹(細胞数では1.6×106cells/匹=4.35×106cells/kg体重、0.38×106cells/匹=1.33×106cells/kg体重)、細胞懸濁液は1.6×106cells/匹、0.38×106cells/匹とし、投与群間で投与された細胞数を合わせた状態にて、細胞数を変えた比較評価を行った。尚、動物の個体数は各群10匹で実施した。
実施例33の結果、図11に示す通り、SDラット骨髄細胞を細胞として用いた状態で、モザイク細胞塊では投与後(グラフで7日目に投与)に、21日、28日、35日と非常に顕著な左旋回行動の運動機能改善が認められる、と分かった。また、改善の効果は細胞数が多いモザイク細胞塊の方が高かった。 一方、比較として用いた細胞懸濁液投与では、少ない細胞数(0.38×106cells/匹)群では全く運動機能の改善が見られなかった。また、多い細胞数(1.6×106cells/匹)を投与しても、細胞懸濁液群では、運動機能改善には限界があり、同数をモザイク細胞塊で投与した郡より顕著に改善が低いことはもとより、少ない細胞数のモザイク細胞塊群よりも運動機能改善が悪いことが明らかとなった。
実施例30で作製したMCAOモデルNudeラット(免疫不全)に対して、発症後(MCAO処置後)7日の時に、実施例28で作製したhMSCモザイク細胞塊を局所投与として、脳損傷部位付近に直接埋殖することにより投与した。投与した量は、hMSCモザイク細胞塊は45個/匹(細胞数では0.89×106cells/匹=5.50×106cells/kg体重)とした。尚、動物の個体数は10匹で実施した。
実施例35の結果、図11に示す通り、hMSCを細胞として用いた状態で、モザイク細胞塊では投与後(グラフで7日目に投与)に、14日、21日、28日、35日と非常に顕著な左旋回行動の運動機能改善が認められる、と分かった。
このことから、ヒトの細胞を用いた状態で、効果が確認できることが明らかとなった。同時に、移植に用いた細胞がヒト細胞であり、移植された側がラットであることから、免疫不全状態においては、異種細胞を用いても脳梗塞治療効果が得られることが分かった。
実施例28にて使用したhMSCについて、神経系の遺伝子発現を解析した。解析にはRT-PCR手法を用いた。プライマーはlife technologies applied biosystemsのTaqMan(登録商標) Gene Expression Assaysから購入した。解析した対象は、Sox2(Cat.#4331182 Hs01053049_s1 Amplicon Lenghe:91), Nestin(ネスチン、Cat.#4331182 Hs04187831_g1 Amplicon Lenghe:58), NeuroD1(Neurogenic differentiation 1、Cat.#4331182 Hs01922995_s1 Amplicon Lenghe:110), GAD1(GABA合成、Cat.#4331182 Hs01065893_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:100), GRIA1(グルタミン酸受容体1、Cat.#4331182 Hs00181348_s1 Amplicon Lenghe:86),GRIA2(グルタミン酸受容体2、Cat.#4331182 Hs00181331_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:71), CHRM1(アセチルコリン受容体1、Cat.#4331182 Hs00265195_s1 Amplicon Lenghe:82), GABRA1(GABAA受容体α1、Cat.#4331182 Hs00971228_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:82), GABBR1(GABAB受容体1、Cat.#4331182 Hs00559488_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:68), CHAT(アセチルコリン合成、Cat.#4331182 Hs00252848_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:64), DDC(セロトニン/DOPA合成、Cat.#4351372 Hs01105048_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:70),HTR1A(セロトニン受容体1A、Cat.#4331182 Hs00265014_s1 Amplicon Lenghe:75), HTR1B(セロトニン受容体1B、Cat.#4331182 Hs00265286_s1 Amplicon Lenghe:67)、HTR2A(セロトニン受容体2A、Cat.#4331182 Hs01033524_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:99), 5-HTT(セロトニントランスポーター、Cat.#4331182 Hs00984349_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:58), Ascl1(神経幹細胞ニューロン分化マーカー、Cat.#4351372 Hs04187546_g1 Amplicon Lenghe:81), Hes1(神経幹細胞アストロサイト分化マーカー、Cat.#4331182 Hs00172878_m1 Amplicon Lenghe:78), 及びOlig2(神経幹細胞オリゴデンドロサイト分化マーカー、Cat.#4331182 Hs00300164_s1 Amplicon Lenghe:86)である。
細胞からのRNA抽出は抽出キットNucleoSpin RNA XS(MACHEREY-NAGEL社#U0902A)を使用し、プロトコール通りに実施した。RT-PCRの試薬キットはPrimeScript One Step RT-PCR Kit ver.2(Dye Plus)(TaKaRa PR057A)を用いた。RT-PCRのサーマルサイクラー条件は50℃で30分、94℃で2分処理した後、「94℃30秒、60℃30秒、72℃15秒」を1サイクルとして、50サイクル実施した。
++:通常PCR、高濃度PCRともに標的遺伝子を検出できた場合。
+:通常PCRでは補足出来ないが、高濃度PCRで標的遺伝子を検出できた場合。
-:通常PCRでも高濃度PCRでも標的遺伝子を検出できなかった場合。
尚、検出出来たかどうかは、電気泳動によりバンドが目視確認出来たかどうかで判断した。
実施例26、27及び28においては、モザイク細胞塊は、CBE3ブロックと細胞とを24時間静置することにより形成させた。本実施例38では、実施例28と同様のCBE3ブロックと細胞とを用いて実施例28と同様の条件において、モザイク細胞塊の形成に必要な時間を調べた。U字型プレートで使用して、細胞構造体(モザイク細胞塊)が形成される過程を顕微鏡で確認した。最初はCBE3ブロックと細胞とが分散しているが、その分散の広がりの長さを測定した結果を図12に示す。図12の縦軸の直径は、ブロックと細胞との広がりの長さを示す。細胞構造体を形成するにつれてブロックと細胞との広がりの長さ(直径)は短くなる。図12の結果から分かるように、CBE3ブロックと細胞を混合して、1、2、3、4、5、6及び7時間静置した状態では、本発明で言うモザイク細胞塊はできておらず、細胞とブロックとが別々の状態で存在していた。即ち、図12において、1、2、3、4、5、6及び7時間静置した状態では、ブロックと細胞との広がりの長さが減少していることから、塊が一つにまとまっていないことが分かる。一方、15、18、21、23、26、29、45及び69時間静置した状態では、ブロックと細胞との広がり(直径)の長さが変化しなくなっていることから、一つのモザイク細胞塊の形成が終わっていたことが分かる。
