Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved culture medium that allows the preferential growth of myoblasts over fibroblasts.
Specifically, a culture medium disclosed by Ham et al. was modified by substituting a part or the totality of L-valine with D-valine. This improved culture medium allows the selection of primary myoblasts from fibroblasts, since the fibroblasts cannot use D-valine while the myoblasts can.

Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
CULTURE MEDIUM TO IMPROVE THE PURITY OF
MYOBLAST CULTURE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel culture medium composition to improve the percentage of myoblasts in a primary culture made from a muscle biopsy, which in turn permits more successful treatment of myopathies and cardiopathies.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Myoblast transplantation has been investigated for many years as a potential treatment of myopathies, particularly dystrophies.
Myoblast transplantation is also a potential treatment for various cardiomyopathies and in particular heart insufficiency. Methods to proliferate myoblasts from a muscle biopsy have frequently been published. However, over the years, our research laboratory has developed a culture medium formulation, which permits the enrichment of a myoblast population in a primary culture. This is an important discovery since a low percentage of fibroblasts is better to treat both myopathies and cardiomyopathies without producing an important fibrosis.
Picciano et al. in Exp. Cell. Res. 151:134-147 (1984) reported that D-valine cannot be used by fibroblasts. Endothelial cells were maintained in a medium comprising D-valine while contaminating fibroblasts were removed. Nothing is disclosed in this reference on the capacity of myoblasts to use D-valine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention thus relates to a culture medium composition that enhances the proliferation of myoblasts rather than the fibroblasts. We have compared our new culture medium (TREM-1) with a culture medium designed by Dr. Ham for myoblast proliferation (In Vitro Cellular and Developmental Biology. 24(8): 833-844, 1988). The similarities and differences in the compositions of these two culture media are summarized in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. The most important difference between the two media is the replacement of L-Valine in the MCDB120 medium by D-Valine in TREM-1 to enrich myoblast cell populations. We have also eliminated Fetuin in the TREM-1 medium. Another important difference is that we have replaced the Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) in the MCDB120 by the basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) because our laboratory previously demonstrated that bFGF improves the success of myoblast transplantation (see US Patent Number 5,833,978).

To demonstrate the usefulness of the TREM-1 culture medium relative to the MCDB120 culture medium, we prepared myoblast cultures from four (4) healthy individuals. The number of cells after the primary culture and after the first and second passage of the culture was determined by counting cell samples from each individual with an hemacytometer. The percentage of myoblasts in the culture was determined at the same time by staining the cells with a mAb specific for NKH-1, a cell surface protein expressed by the myoblasts but not by the fibroblasts. At each passage, five hundred thousand (500 000) cells were transferred to a 75 cm3 culture flask in order to calculate the number of cells produced at each passage. The results are presented in Table 3. There is a significant increase in the percentage of myoblasts in the culture comprising TREM-1 medium.

The number of muscle fibers expressing human dystrophin was established a month after the transplantation by staining cryostat muscle cross-sections with the mAb NCIDys3 (Novocastra inc.) which reacts with human dystrophin but not with mouse dystrophin (results in Table 4). Significantly more muscle fibers expressing human dystrophin appeared following the transplantation of myoblasts grown in TREM-1 than in MCDB120.
