1307717 玖、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明有關於一種取自產後胎盤的幹細胞’及其取得 與培養之方法。本發明更有關於含有胎盤幹細胞之組合物 及應用胎盤幹細胞的方法。 【先前技術】1307717 发明Invention Description: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a stem cell derived from a postpartum placenta and a method for obtaining and cultivating the same. The invention further relates to compositions comprising placental stem cells and methods of using placental stem cells. [Prior Art]

幹細胞具有分化成體内各種細胞的潛力。理論上,幹 細胞可無限制地分裂增殖,以補充它種細胞數量。當幹細 胞分裂時,每個新細胞可維持幹細胞的狀態或成為具有_ 特化功能的他種細胞,例如肌肉細胞、紅血球細胞或腦細 胞。幹細胞通常分為全能型(totipotent)、多潛能型 (pluripotent)與有限潛能型(multipotent)。全能型幹細胞具 有成長為身體中包括生殖細胞(germ cell)在内之所有不 同種類細胞的能力,例如受精卵便是一種全能型幹細胞。 多潛能型幹細胞會成長為身體中除了發育胎兒所需之細 胞種類以外的任何細胞。有限潛能型幹細胞則僅可在一指 定器官或一指定組織中成長為兩種或兩種以上不同的細 胞種類。相對於幹細胞而言,袓代細胞(progenitwceH, 或稱母細胞)則無法進行細胞自新(self_renew),並僅能成 長為少數幾種細胞。 胚胎幹細胞(embryonic stem “⑴與成人幹細胞 (adult Stem cell)是幹細胞的主要來源。胚胎幹細胞來自於 胚胎。為了進行研冑,可在徵求捐贈者同意下,在諸如體 3 1307717 外受精臨床診所進行體外受精以使卵子發育成胚胎’並自 其中取得胚胎幹細胞以供研究之用。通常可於受精後第4 或第5天取得胚胎,此時,胚胎像一個由細胞所構成的微 】二心球,稱為囊胚(blastocyst)。囊胚包含三種結構’分 另'^疋:滋養葉細胞(trophoblast),其為一層環繞著囊胚的 細胞;囊胚腔(blastocoel),其為囊胚内部的空腔;以及内 細胞群(inner cell mass),其為一群集中在囊胚之一端、約 由3 〇個細胞所組成的細胞群。Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into various cells in the body. In theory, stem cells can divide and proliferate without restriction to supplement the number of their cells. When stem cells divide, each new cell maintains the state of the stem cells or becomes a seed cell having a specialized function, such as muscle cells, red blood cells, or brain cells. Stem cells are usually classified into totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent. Almighty stem cells have the ability to grow into all the different types of cells in the body, including germ cells. For example, a fertilized egg is a versatile stem cell. The pluripotent stem cells grow into any cell in the body other than the cell type required to develop the fetus. Limited-potential stem cells can only grow into two or more different cell types in a given organ or a designated tissue. Compared to stem cells, progenitor cells (progenitwceH, or mother cells) are unable to self-renew and can only grow into a few cells. Embryonic stem cells ((1) and adult stem cells are the main source of stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos. For the purpose of research, it can be carried out in a clinical clinic such as Body 3 1307717 for donor consent. In vitro fertilization to make the egg develop into an embryo' and obtain embryonic stem cells from it for research. Usually the embryo can be obtained on the 4th or 5th day after fertilization. At this time, the embryo is like a micro-organ composed of cells. The globule, called blastocyst. The blastocyst contains three structures 'separate' 疋: trophoblast, which is a layer of cells surrounding the blastocyst; blastocoel, which is a blastocyst The inner cavity; and the inner cell mass, which is a group of cells concentrated at one end of the blastocyst and composed of about 3 cells.

將這些内細胞群分離出來,並以體外培養方式培養 之,以取得胚胎幹細胞。内細胞群一般生長在一層餵養細 胞(feeder cell)上,這些餵養細胞通常是小鼠胚胎織維母 細胞(mouse embryonic fibroblasts),作為内細胞群的附著 層與營養來源之用。胚胎幹細胞是多潛能型幹細胞,可成 為身體中所有種類的細胞。 成人幹細胞或體幹細胞(somatic stem cell)是一種可 在器官或組織之已分化細胞中發現的未分化細胞》成人幹 細胞可自我複製更新(細胞自新)’並可分化成器官或組織 中特定的細胞種類°科學界相信每種組織中具有一特定區 域能使成人幹細胞保持長達數年不活動的狀態 (quiescent,即,不分裂),直到這些細胞因疾病或組織受 傷等因素而被活化為止。每種組織中存在的成人幹細胞數 目極少,並已在包括腦、骨髓、周邊血液、血管、骨骼肌、 皮膚、臍帶、脂肪組織、羊骐與肝臟等組織與器官中找到 成人幹細胞。 4 1307717These inner cell populations are isolated and cultured in vitro to obtain embryonic stem cells. The inner cell population is typically grown on a layer of feeder cells, typically mouse embryonic fibroblasts, which serve as an attachment layer and source of nutrients for the inner cell mass. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells that can be made into all kinds of cells in the body. An adult stem cell or somatic stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that can be found in differentiated cells of an organ or tissue. Adult stem cells can self-replicate and renew (cell self-renew) and can differentiate into specific organs or tissues. Cell Types The scientific community believes that having a specific region in each tissue allows adult stem cells to remain inactive for many years (ie, not splitting) until they are activated by factors such as disease or tissue injury. . The number of adult stem cells present in each tissue is extremely small, and adult stem cells have been found in tissues and organs including brain, bone marrow, peripheral blood, blood vessels, skeletal muscle, skin, umbilical cord, adipose tissue, alpaca, and liver. 4 1307717

由於幹細胞提供細胞或組織新生的來源,因此幹細胞 在各種疾病、身體異常狀況以及殘障治療上扮演相當重要 的角色。骨髓中用來形成血球的造血幹細胞 (hematopoietic stem cell, HSCs)是目前唯一 一種已被普遍 使用的幹細胞。造血幹細胞被用來治療白血病、淋巴瘤及 數種遣傳性血液疾病。然而,其他幹細胞同樣具有治療他 種疾病的潛力。許多報告曾暗示某些成人幹細胞具有分化 成數種細胞的能力。例如,造血幹細胞可能分化成腦細胞 (神經細胞、募樹突細胞(oligodendrocytes)與星狀細胞 (astrocyte))( Hao et al., H. Hematother. Stem Cell Res. 12:23-32, 2003; Zhao et al., PNAS 100:2426-2431, 2003; Bonilla et al., Eur. J. Neurosci. 1 5 :575-5 82,2002)、骨路 肌細胞(Ferrari et al., Science 279:1528-1530, 1998;Since stem cells provide a source of new cells or tissues, stem cells play an important role in various diseases, physical abnormalities, and disability treatments. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) used to form blood cells in the bone marrow are currently the only stem cells that have been commonly used. Hematopoietic stem cells are used to treat leukemia, lymphoma, and several transmissible blood diseases. However, other stem cells also have the potential to treat other diseases. Many reports have suggested that certain adult stem cells have the ability to differentiate into several types of cells. For example, hematopoietic stem cells may differentiate into brain cells (neural cells, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes) (Haul et al., H. Hematother. Stem Cell Res. 12:23-32, 2003; Zhao et al., PNAS 100: 2426-2431, 2003; Bonilla et al., Eur. J. Neurosci. 1 5 : 575-5 82, 2002), skeletal muscle cells (Ferrari et al., Science 279: 1528) -1530, 1998;

Med· 6:1229-1234,2000)。骨 趙基質細胞(Bone marrow stromal cells)可能分化為心肌 細胞與骨路肌細胞(Galmiche et al.,Blood 82:66-76,1993; Wakitani et al., Muscle Nerve 1 8:1417-1426,1 995),而腦 幹細胞則可能分化成血球細胞與骨路肌細胞rwsoM ei al., Science 283:534-547, 1999 ; Galli et al., Nat.Gussoni et al., Nature 401: 390-394, 1999), cardiomyocytes (Jackson et al., J. Clin. Invest. 107: 1395-1402, 2001) and hepatocytes (Lagasse et al., Nat. Med·) 6:1229-1234, 2000). Bone marrow stromal cells may differentiate into cardiomyocytes and bone myocytes (Galmiche et al., Blood 82: 66-76, 1993; Wakitani et al., Muscle Nerve 1 8: 1417-1426, 1 995), while brain stem cells may differentiate into hematocrit and bone path muscle cells rwsoM ei al., Science 283:534-547, 1999; Galli et al., Nat.

Neurosci. 3 :986-99 1,2000)。 胚胎幹細胞與成人幹細胞在細胞再生治療的應用上 分別具有其優缺點。成人幹細胞的優點之一在於可培養患 5 1307717 者自身的細胞,放大其細胞數量後,再重新植回患者體 内。使用患者自身的成人幹細胞可避免在不使用免疫抑制 藥物的情況下發生免疫系統排斥外來細胞的情形。相反 地,若將捐贈者所提供的胚胎幹細胞植入患者體内,則可 能造成患者出現移植排斥的現象。Neurosci. 3: 986-99 1,2000). Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells have their own advantages and disadvantages in the application of cell regeneration therapy. One of the advantages of adult stem cells is that they can culture the cells of 5 1307717 themselves, enlarge the number of cells, and then replant them back into the patient's body. The use of the patient's own adult stem cells avoids the situation where the immune system rejects foreign cells without the use of immunosuppressive drugs. Conversely, if the embryonic stem cells provided by the donor are implanted into the patient, it may cause transplant rejection.

反過來說,胚胎幹細胞可分化成體内所有的細胞種 類,雖然上述内容中提到曾有證據暗示成人幹細胞可能分 化成其他的細胞種類,但通常成人幹細胞僅能分化成自身 來源組織的細胞種類。此外,胚胎幹細胞相對較容易培養 以放大數量,而成人組織中的成人幹細胞數目稀少,並難 以藉由細胞培養方式來放大其細胞數量。基於上述理由, 因此對於需要大量細胞數目的幹細胞取代治療方法來 說,胚胎幹細胞較具優勢。 胚胎幹細胞通常取自人工受精計晝或捐贈配子 (gamete)中所多出的胚胎。然而,由於胚胎幹細胞與生命 息息相關,因此在其應用上極具爭議性。相對的,成人幹 細胞雖不引起道德上的爭議,但其細胞增殖與分化的能力 卻低於胚胎幹細胞。此外,通常需要進行侵入性手術方能 取得成人幹細胞。再者,胚胎幹細胞可能產生畸胎瘤(一 種共由三層胚層所構成的良性瘤),而成人幹細胞則無此 問題。 神經幹細胞(neural stem cell, NSCs)是成人幹細胞的 其中一種。此類幹細胞具有分化成神經系統中之三種細胞 種類的能力,該三種細胞係:神經細胞、星狀細胞與寡樹 6 1307717 突細胞。神經幹細胞可從成人或胎兒的中框神經系統組織 中分離出來(e a c 〇 ” e ί a /., E X p . N e u r ο 1., 1 4 9: 2 8 - 4 1,Conversely, embryonic stem cells can differentiate into all cell types in the body, although there is evidence in the above that there is evidence that adult stem cells may differentiate into other cell types, but usually adult stem cells can only differentiate into cell types of their own source tissues. . In addition, embryonic stem cells are relatively easy to culture to amplify the number, and the number of adult stem cells in adult tissues is scarce, and it is difficult to amplify the number of cells by cell culture. For the above reasons, embryonic stem cells are therefore advantageous for replacing stem cells with a large number of cells. Embryonic stem cells are usually taken from embryos that are artificially fertilized or donated in gamete. However, because embryonic stem cells are closely related to life, they are highly controversial in their application. In contrast, adult stem cells do not cause moral controversy, but their ability to proliferate and differentiate is lower than that of embryonic stem cells. In addition, invasive surgery is usually required to obtain adult stem cells. Furthermore, embryonic stem cells may produce teratomas (a benign tumor composed of three layers of germ layers), and adult stem cells do not have this problem. Neural stem cells (NSCs) are one of adult stem cells. Such stem cells have the ability to differentiate into three cell types in the nervous system: nerve cells, stellate cells, and oligosaccharide 6 1307717 cells. Neural stem cells can be isolated from the mesenteric nervous system of the adult or fetus (e a c 〇 e e ί a /., E X p . N e u r ο 1., 1 4 9: 2 8 - 4 1,

Due to the origin of the fetus and a part of the embryo, fetal cells and growth factors provide a rich source. To this end, placental dry energy has higher cell proliferation and differentiation than other adult stem cells, and the placenta is a temporary organ used in the uterus to maintain fetal survival and production. Therefore, the placenta obtained after childbirth does not cause ethical competition for invasive surgery to obtain cells. The embodiments described herein and the terms used are for the purpose of describing the examples only and are not intended to limit the invention. Other embodiments that are not specifically described herein are also covered by the scope of the present invention, but the present invention can be readily understood and implemented after reading the present disclosure. The present invention relates to stem cells taken from a postpartum placenta. In the text, the term "stem cell" refers to a dominant cell, which can replicate indefinitely to form specific cells of an organ or tissue. Stem cells can divide to produce two progeny stem cells, one progeny stem cell and one progenitor cell (or transition cell: cell), which then proliferate into mature and developing cells in the tissue. The term "stem cell" as used herein includes both finite-potential and pluripotent stem cells. The term "pluripotent cell" as used herein refers to cells with a variety of fully differentiated abilities, that is, cells that can grow in the body of an animal other than the cells needed to develop the fetus. Multipotent cells can be self-renewed, and the thin placenta is a disk that can be used as a stem cell. Subsequent discards are also used in the implementation of the text (master function or production > transit complete stem cell system refers to a breastfeeding any seed can remain dormant or inactive in the 9 1307717 organization.

However, 'limited potential cells have the ability to become pluripotent cells. For example, hematopoietic stem cells were originally thought to be a finite-potential plastic cell, a stem cell that can only develop into several types of blood cells but cannot develop into brain cells. However, as mentioned above, there is recent evidence that hematopoietic stem cells may be pluripotent cells because they may differentiate into other cell types including brain cells. Here, the term "progenitor cell" Refers to a cell that is specifically used to differentiate into a particular cell type or to form a particular species of tissue. Here, the term "post-partum placenta" refers to a placenta that is excreted from the uterus after birth and does not contain an umbilical cord. Therefore, the method of obtaining placental stem cells of the present invention is different from the conventional method of using umbilical cord or cord blood (Migliaccio et al., Blood 96: 2717-2722, 2000; Rubinstein et al., New England J Medicine 3 3 9: 1565-1 577 1 998; Far/W ei fl/·, US Patent Publication No. 20030 i 80269) 产 can obtain postpartum placentas from any mammalian species, including rodents, humans, non-human primates, horses, Canine, feline, bovine subfamily, sylvestris, ovis, rabbits and other animal species. The placenta system used in an embodiment of the present invention is obtained from a human. Placental stem cells can be characterized according to their cellular markers. A variety of different cell markers are currently known. These known cell markers can be referred to the following resources 10 1307717

For example, the ability of cells in culture to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts (or osteoblasts) and/or nerve cells can be tested. The term "differentiation" as used herein refers to the occurrence or alteration of one or more characteristics characteristic of a particular type of cell. Such characteristics may include, but are not limited to, the expression of a characteristic cell marker of a particular type of cell. Other characteristics may include the appearance or alteration of a cell type, or the expression of a specific protein of a particular type of cell. Thus, for example, adipogenic differentiation refers to the appearance of one or more fat cell-like properties in a cell. Similarly, osteoblast differentiation and neural cell differentiation refer to the appearance of one or more characteristics similar to osteoblasts or nerve cells. Fat cells are the connective tissue cells responsible for the synthesis and storage of fat. Osteoblasts are the main cells responsible for bone formation and are thought to be derived from the skeletal progenitors in skeletal tissues. Osteoprogenitor cell. In the text, "neurai cells" - 14 1307717 refers to neurons or glial cells. Glial cells can be further divided into stellate cells and oligodendrocytes.

In particular, 'placental stem cells in DmEm medium (Gibco) supplemented with 1% fetal calf serum (FBS), 1 〇〇 unit/ml penicillin and 1 gram/ml streptomycin (Section 7a), the cells cultured in the culture solution containing retinoid or IBMX were observed to have a cytoplasmic state of contraction and have outwardly extending projections (see Fig. 7E). In addition to the morphological changes, the cells cultured in the culture medium containing retinoid or sputum showed more neuronal markers "N S Ε" than the control group, see Figures 7, 7D and 7F, respectively. The cells in the control group and the cells cultured in b-FGF/EGF or /9 ME/DMSO/BHA were not observed to have a cell-like change as described in the above 33 1307717 (data not shown). After six days of culture, about 40% to 60% of the cells in the IB MX-treated cell population differentiate into neuron-like cells, and about 10% of the retinoid-treated cells. The cells were differentiated (data not shown). In addition, those cells treated with IBMX and showing a strong positive response to NSE staining exhibited bipolar or multipolar morphology with long branches. Sometimes, several neuron-like cells can be observed under the microscope to form a network-like structure.

當早在以IB MX處理細胞2小時後,便能觀察到一部分 胎盤幹細胞的形態有所變化(未出示數據)。隨著培養時間 越長,已分化的細胞數量越多(第8A-8C圖)。根據三次獨 立實驗的結果,約7%的胎盤幹細胞在經IBMX處理24小 時後會分化完成,並於5天後,已分化細胞的數量提高至 超過40%。此外,在胎盤幹細胞經IBMX處理5天後,可 利用反轉錄聚合酶鏈鎖反應偵測到成熟神經元標記「神經 纖維輕鏈(NF-L)」的表現。 經IBMX處理過的胎盤幹細胞中含有會表現神經標記 MAP2(第9A圖)、星狀細胞標記GFAP(第9B圖)或寡樹突 細胞標記NG2的細胞(第9C圖),此結果暗示該等胎盤幹 細胞可分化成這三種神經細胞(神經元、星狀細胞、募樹突 細胞)。此外,該些呈MAP2陽性的細胞展現出類似神經元 形態,具有緊縮的細胞主體以及數條向外伸展的軸突 (processes)(第9A圖)。該些神經元、星狀細胞與寡樹突細 胞在總細胞數中所佔的數量分別約1 6 % ' 1 %與1 7 %,此結 果與Deng等人所報導經IBMX處理過之人類骨髓基質細 34 1307717 的建議方法來標記該些未分化的胎盤幹細胞,以區分該些 未分化的胎盤幹細胞與腦細胞。經24小時後,在含有該腦 細胞的培養孔盤中加入該些未分化的標記有CM-Dil的胎 盤幹細胞’並使其細胞密度為2xl04細胞/平方公分,並於 DMEM-LG培養液中進行培養。使該些細胞共同培養3至5 天以後,利用免疫螢光染色法來偵測MAP2與GFAP的表 現。When the cells were treated with IB MX for 2 hours, a change in the morphology of some of the placental stem cells was observed (data not shown). The longer the culture time, the greater the number of differentiated cells (Fig. 8A-8C). According to the results of three independent experiments, about 7% of placental stem cells differentiated after 24 hours of treatment with IBMX, and after 5 days, the number of differentiated cells increased to over 40%. In addition, after 5 days of treatment with placental stem cells by IBMX, the expression of the mature neuronal marker "Neural Fiber Light Chain (NF-L)" was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The placental stem cells treated with IBMX contain cells expressing the neural marker MAP2 (Fig. 9A), the stellate cell marker GFAP (Fig. 9B) or the oligodendrocyte marker NG2 (Fig. 9C), suggesting that Placental stem cells can differentiate into these three types of nerve cells (neurons, stellate cells, and dendritic cells). In addition, these MAP2-positive cells exhibit a neuronal morphology with a tight cell body and a number of outwardly extending axons (Fig. 9A). The number of these neurons, stellate cells and oligodendrocytes in the total number of cells is about 16% '1% and 17% respectively, and this result is related to the human bone marrow treated by IBMX reported by Deng et al. The recommended method of matrix fine 34 1307717 is to label these undifferentiated placental stem cells to distinguish between these undifferentiated placental stem cells and brain cells. After 24 hours, the undifferentiated placental stem cells labeled with CM-Dil were added to the culture well plate containing the brain cells and the cell density was 2×10 4 cells/cm 2 and in DMEM-LG medium. Cultivate. After the cells were co-cultured for 3 to 5 days, immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of MAP2 and GFAP.
