Description

Protissue cell proliferation reprogramming factor preparation and application
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to a reprogramming factor preparation for promoting tissue cell proliferation and application thereof.
Background
The treatment of heart failure is a clinically significant unmet need, with significant increases in disability and mortality in heart failure patients over the last 20 years, and up to date there is a lack of therapies to alter the course of heart failure, so how to find new effective treatments is one of the most significant subjects in medicine in this century.
Loss of cardiomyocytes and/or loss of function are the pathological basis of heart failure, and coronary bypass and in situ heart transplantation have provided new approaches to heart failure treatment in recent years, but post-treatment cardiac fibrosis and donor serious shortages have limited their clinical use.
The new cardiac cell transplantation method can supplement new cardiac cells with contractile function to the damaged heart so as to improve the function of the damaged heart, but the cardiac cells are terminal differentiated cells, adult cardiac cells completely lose the division capacity, so that the clinical application of the cardiac cell transplantation method is greatly limited because the cardiac cells with the contractile capacity cannot be provided.
Furthermore, the field of cardiac gene therapy is advancing, but it has not been widely used clinically. Currently, the most widely used gene therapy is achieved by viral vectors, in particular adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors. Over the past few decades, adenoviruses, related adenoviruses (AAV), lentiviruses, and DNA plasmids have been used to introduce genes of interest into cardiomyocytes. AAV and adenovirus both have high myocardial transfection levels, whereas lentivirus and DNA plasmid have low myocardial transfection efficiency. However, adenovirus can cause a strong immune response, and is difficult to be clinically applied, so AAV is the only suitable option for the current cardiac gene therapy. However, the pharmacokinetics of AAV in the heart (expression starting from day 4 and remaining for at least 11 months) may lead to uncontrolled growth of the myocardium, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Moreover, over 60% of healthy human individuals have neutralizing antibodies against AAV capsids, which can effectively neutralize gene expression delivered by this method, which drawbacks limit the use of AAV in cardiac gene therapy. More serious are: delivery of the protein of interest via AAV may be associated with a severe immune response (allergy) to AAV.
Currently, there is a need to propose a new cardiac gene therapy drug without risk of genome integration.
