Abstract
本発明は,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま細胞を培養する方法を提供する。より具体的には、レチノイドとラミニンを含む培地を用いて細胞を培養することにより,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま細胞を培養することを可能とする。レチノイドとしては例えば,atRA,AM80などが使用できる。レチノイドとラミニンを含む培地を用いて培養することにより増殖させた筋幹細胞は,細胞移植による筋ジストロフィーの治療等に利用されうる。The present invention provides a method for culturing cells while maintaining the undifferentiated state of muscle stem cells. More specifically, by culturing cells using a medium containing retinoid and laminin, it is possible to culture cells while maintaining the undifferentiated state of muscle stem cells. As the retinoid, for example, atRA, AM80 or the like can be used. The muscle stem cells proliferated by culturing in a medium containing retinoid and laminin can be used for treatment of muscular dystrophy by cell transplantation and the like.
Description
本願は、特願2017−121787号(出願日:2017年6月22日)の優先権を主張する出願であり、これは引用することによりその全体が本明細書に取り込まれる。 The present application is an application claiming priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2017-121787 (filing date: June 22, 2017), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
本発明は,筋幹細胞の培養方法に関する。より詳細には,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま培養する方法に関する。また,本発明は,細胞移植などに利用可能な筋幹細胞の製造方法,およびそれに用いる組成物にも関する。 The present invention relates to a method for culturing muscle stem cells. More specifically, it relates to a method for culturing muscle stem cells while maintaining their undifferentiated state. The present invention also relates to a method for producing a muscle stem cell that can be used for cell transplantation and the like, and a composition used therefor.
骨格筋は,運動や姿勢の保持に必要であるだけでなく,最大のエネルギー利用器官として代謝調節にも重要である。また,骨格筋は再生能が高いという特徴をもつ。骨格筋は,骨格筋幹細胞(筋サテライト細胞)が活性化され,分化・融合することによって再生される(非特許文献1)。 Skeletal muscle is not only required for maintaining movement and posture, but is also important for metabolic regulation as the largest energy utilization organ. In addition, skeletal muscle is characterized by high regenerative capacity. Skeletal muscle is regenerated when skeletal muscle stem cells (muscle satellite cells) are activated and differentiated / fused (Non-patent Document 1).
筋ジストロフィーは筋線維の壊死と再生を繰り返しながら筋萎縮が進行する遺伝性の疾患であり,有効な治療法は未だに確立されていない。開発段階にある筋ジストロフィーの治療法としては,例えば,核酸医薬品を用いたエキソンスキッピング療法がある(非特許文献2)。核酸医薬品とならび,細胞移植治療の応用も期待されているが,in vitroで筋幹細胞を培養すると,幹細胞としての未分化性が失われ,増殖を停止してしまうことが知られている(非特許文献3)。 Muscular dystrophy is a hereditary disease in which muscle atrophy progresses by repeating necrosis and regeneration of muscle fibers, and an effective treatment method has not yet been established. As a treatment method for muscular dystrophy in the development stage, for example, there is an exon skipping therapy using a nucleic acid drug (Non-patent Document 2). In addition to nucleic acid drugs, application of cell transplantation therapy is expected, but it is known that culturing muscle stem cells in vitro loses the undifferentiated nature as stem cells and stops proliferation (non- Patent Document 3).
本発明は,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま培養する方法を提供することを目的の一つとする。また,本発明は,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま培養する方法において用いる組成物を提供することを別の目的の一つとする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a method for culturing muscle stem cells while maintaining their undifferentiated state. Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition used in a method of culturing muscle stem cells while maintaining their undifferentiated state.
本発明者らは,レチノイドおよびラミニンを含む培地中で細胞を培養することによって,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま,細胞を増殖させることが可能であることを見出した。本技術は簡便かつ安全で,高い効率で筋幹細胞の未分化性を維持できることから,筋ジストロフィーをはじめとした筋疾患に対する細胞移植治療や,化合物スクリーニング系の開発,再生医療への応用が期待される。本発明はこのような知見に基づくものであり,以下の態様を包含する:

上述のとおり,レチノイドとラミニンを含む培地中で細胞を培養することによって,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま,細胞を増殖させることが可能であることが見出された。以下に,本発明を詳細に説明する。 As described above, it was found that by culturing the cells in a medium containing retinoid and laminin, the cells can be proliferated while maintaining the undifferentiated state of the muscle stem cells. The present invention will be described in detail below.
筋幹細胞(筋サテライト細胞)
骨格筋の組織幹細胞は,筋幹細胞あるいは筋サテライト細胞と呼ばれる小さな多能性の細胞であり,基底膜と筋鞘の間に存在している。筋サテライト細胞は,通常は細胞周期の静止期にとどまり未分化状態を維持しているが,骨格筋に何らかの損傷を受けると活性化して分裂し,筋芽細胞へと分化し,筋管を形成して筋線維を再生させる。 Muscle stem cells (muscle satellite cells)
Tissue stem cells of skeletal muscle are small pluripotent cells called muscle stem cells or muscle satellite cells, and are located between the basement membrane and the sarcolemma. Muscle satellite cells normally remain in the resting phase of the cell cycle and maintain an undifferentiated state, but when damaged by some kind of skeletal muscle, they are activated and divide, differentiate into myoblasts, and form myotubes. To regenerate muscle fibers.
静止期の未分化の筋サテライト細胞は,Pax7の発現を指標として同定することができる。筋サテライト細胞の活性化により筋芽細胞が分化するにつれて,Pax7の発現は減少し,MyoDの発現が上昇する。さらに,筋芽細胞が筋管を形成するのに伴い,ミオゲニンの発現が上昇する。また,筋細胞が融合した筋管は,抗ミオシン重鎖抗体による免疫染色により可視化することができる。 The undifferentiated muscle satellite cells in the stationary phase can be identified by using the expression of Pax7 as an index. The expression of Pax7 decreases and the expression of MyoD increases as myoblasts differentiate by the activation of muscle satellite cells. Moreover, myogenin expression increases as myoblasts form myotubes. In addition, the myotube fused with myocytes can be visualized by immunostaining with an anti-myosin heavy chain antibody.
細胞の形態に関しては,未分化の筋サテライト細胞は丸い形態を示すのに対し,分化の進んだ細胞は扁平で巨大な形態を示すことから,未分化の筋サテライト細胞を同定することができる。 Regarding the cell morphology, undifferentiated muscle satellite cells have a round morphology, whereas the more differentiated cells have a flat and huge morphology, so that undifferentiated muscle satellite cells can be identified.

ラミニン
ラミニンは,細胞外マトリクスの高分子量タンパク質(およそ400〜900kDa)であり,基底膜の主要な構成要素となっている。ラミニンは,基底膜の重要な成分であり,細胞の分化,遊走,および接着に影響を及ぼす。ラミニンは,α鎖,β鎖およびγ鎖を含むヘテロ三量体タンパク質であり,15種類のアイソフォームを形成しうる5種のα鎖,3種のβ鎖,および3種のγ鎖が特定されている。 Laminin Laminin is a high molecular weight protein (approximately 400 to 900 kDa) in the extracellular matrix and is a major constituent of the basement membrane. Laminin is an important component of the basement membrane and affects cell differentiation, migration, and adhesion. Laminin is a heterotrimeric protein containing α-, β-, and γ-chains, and is characterized by 5 types of α-chain, 3 types of β-chain, and 3 types of γ-chain that can form 15 types of isoforms. Has been done.
ラミニン分子は各鎖の組成に従って命名される。本明細書においては,例えば,α5鎖,β1鎖及びγ1鎖から構成されるラミニンを「ラミニンα5β1γ1」または「ラミニン511」と記載する。その他の14種類のアイソフォームは,ラミニン111,ラミニン211,ラミニン121,ラミニン221,ラミニン332,ラミニン311,ラミニン321,ラミニン411,ラミニン421,ラミニン521,ラミニン213,ラミニン423,ラミニン522,ラミニン523と記載される。ラミニンは,全長であってもよいしその一部であってもよく,例えば,ラミニン511は,そのα5鎖,β1鎖及びγ1鎖のそれぞれが,互いに独立に,全長であってもよいしその一部であってもよい。ラミニンは,組換えタンパク質の製造および精製が容易であることからE8フラグメントであることが好ましく,実用化の観点からヒトラミニンのE8フラグメントであることがさらに好ましい。
Laminin molecules are named according to the composition of each chain. In the present specification, for example, laminin composed of α5 chain, β1 chain and γ1 chain is referred to as “laminin α5β1γ1” or “
本明細書においては,ラミニンのE8フラグメントのことを単に「ラミニンE8」と記載することもあり,また,例えば,ラミニン511のE8フラグメントのことを「ラミニン511E8」とも記載する(他のラミニンのアイソフォームについても同様)。なお,単に「ラミニンE8」と記載したときは,ラミニンのアイソフォームは限定されず,いずれのアイソフォームのラミニンのE8フラグメントであってもよいものとする。
In the present specification, the E8 fragment of laminin may be simply referred to as “laminin E8”, and for example, the E8 fragment of
ヒトラミニン511タンパク質のE8フラグメントは,ES細胞およびiPS細胞を含む幹細胞の培養用基質として,スライドガラスやシャーレなどの培養容器の表面をコーティングすることにより使用されている。本発明者らは,予想外なことに,ラミニンを培養容器底面のコーティングとして用いるのではなく,液体培養培地中にレチノイドと共に含めることによって,筋幹細胞の未分化性を保持したまま,効率的に細胞を増殖させることが可能であることを見出した。このようなレチノイドとラミニンとの組み合わせにより,予想を超える相乗的な効果を得ることができる。なお,ラミニンの液体培地への添加と培養容器表面のコーティングとの併用は,排除されない。
The E8 fragment of
ラミニンのE8フラグメントは,マウスラミニンα1β1γ1(以下,「マウスラミニン111」とも記す。)をエラスターゼで消化して得られたフラグメントの中で,強い細胞接着活性をもつフラグメントとして同定されたものである(Edgar D., Timpl R., Thoe nen H. The heparin-binding domainof laminin is responsible for its effects on ne urite outgrowth and neuronal survival. EMBO J., 3:1463-1468,1984.,Goodman SL.,
Deutzmann R., von der Mark K.Two distinct cell-binding domains in laminin canin dependently promote nonneuronal cell adhesion and spreading. J. Cell Biol., 105: 589-598,1987.)。例えば,ヒトラミニンについてもエラスターゼで消化した際にマウスラミニン111のE8フラグメント(マウスラミニン111E8)に相当するフラグメントの存在が推定されるが,これらを分離・同定したことは報告されていない。したがって,本発明に用いられるヒトラミニンのE8フラグメントは,対応するヒトラミニンのエラスターゼ消化産物であることを要するものではなく,マウスラミニン111E8と同様の細胞接着活性を有し,同様の構造を有し,同程度の分子量を有するヒトラミニンのフラグメントであればよい。The laminin E8 fragment was identified as a fragment having a strong cell adhesion activity among fragments obtained by digesting mouse laminin α1β1γ1 (hereinafter also referred to as “mouse laminin 111”) with elastase ( Edgar D., Timpl R., Thoe nen H. The heparin-binding domainof laminin is responsible for its effects on neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival.EMBO J., 3: 1463-1468,1984., Goodman SL.,
Deutzmann R., von der Mark K. Two distinct cell-binding domains in laminin canin dependently promote nonneuronal cell adhesion and spreading. J. Cell Biol., 105: 589-598, 1987.). For example, human laminin is also presumed to have a fragment corresponding to the E8 fragment of mouse laminin 111 (mouse laminin 111E8) when digested with elastase, but it has not been reported that these fragments were isolated or identified. Therefore, the human laminin E8 fragment used in the present invention does not need to be a corresponding human laminin elastase digestion product, has the same cell adhesion activity as mouse laminin 111E8, and has the same structure, Any fragment of human laminin having a molecular weight of the order may be used.
ラミニンのE8フラグメントの製造方法は特に限定されず,例えば,ラミニンの所望のアイソフォームの全長をエラスターゼ等のタンパク質分解酵素で消化し,目的のフラグメントを分取,精製する方法や,組換えタンパク質として製造する方法などが挙げられる。製造量,品質の均一性,製造コスト等の観点から,組換えタンパク質として製造することが好ましい。 The method for producing the E8 fragment of laminin is not particularly limited. For example, a method of digesting the entire length of the desired isoform of laminin with a proteolytic enzyme such as elastase, collecting and purifying the desired fragment, or a recombinant protein The method of manufacturing may be mentioned. From the viewpoint of production amount, uniformity of quality, production cost, etc., it is preferable to produce it as a recombinant protein.
組換えヒトラミニン(全長またはその一部)は,公知の配列情報と,公知の遺伝子組換え技術を適宜用いることにより製造することができる。組換えヒトラミニン511E8の製造方法を例として以下説明する。組換えヒトラミニン511E8の製造方法としては,例えば,ヒトラミニン511E8のα鎖,β鎖およびγ鎖の各タンパク質をコードするDNAをそれぞれ取得し,これをそれぞれ発現ベクターに挿入し,得られた3種類の発現ベクターを適切な宿主細胞に共導入して発現させ,3量体を形成しているタンパク質を公知の方法で精製することにより製造できる。例えば,Idoら(Hiroyuki Ido, Aya Nakamu ra, Reiko Kobayashi, Shunsuke Ito, Shaoliang Li, Sugiko Futaki, and Kiyotoshi Se kiguchi, “The requirement of the glutamic acid residue at the third position fr om the carboxyl termini of the laminin γ chains in integrin binding by laminins ” The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 282, 11144-11154,2007.)に記載の方法に従って作製することができるが,これに限定されるものではない。例えばヒトラミニン511を構成するα5鎖,β1鎖,γ1鎖をそれぞれコードする遺伝子(cDNA)の塩基配列情報および各鎖のアミノ酸配列情報は,公知のデータベース(GenBank等)から取得することができる。ラミニンは例えば,これら特定のアミノ酸配列において,少なくとも1個のアミノ酸が欠失,置換及び/又は付加されたタンパク質であってもよい。
Recombinant human laminin (full length or a part thereof) can be produced by appropriately using known sequence information and known gene recombination technology. The method for producing recombinant human laminin 511E8 will be described below as an example. As a method for producing the recombinant human laminin 511E8, for example, DNAs encoding the α-chain, β-chain and γ-chain proteins of human laminin 511E8 are respectively obtained, and each is inserted into an expression vector, and the resulting three types of It can be produced by co-introducing the expression vector into an appropriate host cell for expression and purifying the protein forming a trimer by a known method. For example, Ido et al. (Hiroyuki Ido, Aya Nakamu ra, Reiko Kobayashi, Shunsuke Ito, Shaoliang Li, Sugiko Futaki, and Kiyotoshi Se kiguchi, “The requirement of the glutamic acid residue at the third position fr om the carboxyl termini of the laminin γ Chains in integrin binding by laminins ”can be prepared according to the method described in The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 282, 11144-11154, 2007.), but is not limited thereto. For example, the nucleotide sequence information of the gene (cDNA) encoding the α5 chain, β1 chain, and γ1 chain constituting
ラミニンは,例えば,株式会社ニッピ(東京,日本)から市販されている培養基質iMatrix511−E8またはiMatrix511−E8−silkを用いることができる。iMatrix511−E8は,ヒトラミニン511−E8フラグメントと同一の配列を有する,遺伝子組換えCHO−S細胞由来の組換えタンパク質である。iMatrix511−E8−silkは,ヒトラミニン511−E8フラグメントと同一の配列を有する,遺伝子組換えカイコ生産系由来の組換えタンパク質である。 As the laminin, for example, a culture substrate iMatrix511-E8 or iMatrix511-E8-silk commercially available from Nippi Co., Ltd.
