Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for evaluating cultured cells, and more particularly to a new method for evaluating cultured osteogenic cells.
- Regenerative medicine is a medical technique that uses a cell, biomaterial, and cell growth factor to create a form and function similar to that of the original tissue from a living tissue that cannot be recovered by the healing ability of the living body.
- mesenchymal stem cells are generally used. These mesenchymal stem cells are known to be able to induce differentiation into various cells such as adipocytes and osteoblasts, but in advance determine whether the obtained cells have the desired function It was difficult.
- bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells are mainly used, and there are reports of adipose-derived stem cells, periosteum-derived stem cells, synovial-derived stem cells, and the like.
- bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells or bone marrow stromal cells are relatively easy to collect and have an extremely high bone forming ability, and are currently used for almost all clinical applications of bone regeneration.
- previous reports by the present inventors have revealed that human-derived osteogenic cells have large individual differences. It was also clarified that the bone forming ability was quickly lost by culture.

- Osteogenic cells are defined as cells essential for bone formation, such as osteoblasts.
- cells capable of ectopic bone formation are defined as osteogenic cells.
- Ectopicity is the ability to form bone in parts that are essentially free of bone. Ectopic bone forming ability is verified, for example, by transplanting subcutaneously in immunodeficient animals with a carrier holding human cells. Although bone regeneration is actually expected in the vicinity of bone, it is necessary to regenerate bone toward the bone-free part, so the ability originally required for bone regeneration is this ectopic bone formation. Noh is considered the most appropriate evaluation method. However, there is no method for evaluating cells produced from such a viewpoint.

- the number of osteogenic cells in the transplant material is of course an important factor, but on the other hand, it is important that proper bone forming ability is maintained. If the number of these osteogenic cells is small or cells with poor bone forming ability are used, proper bone formation is not performed, but it takes a considerable amount of time to confirm actual bone formation. Necessary.
- the conventional evaluation of target cells is performed by a single determination method as described above, and if the evaluation criteria are raised, regeneration after transplantation is performed. Although the rate increases to some extent, it is considered that the cultured cells that were originally usable can be judged as inappropriate. On the other hand, if the evaluation standard is lowered, cultured cells that cannot form bone can be used for transplantation. Become. Furthermore, according to the research of the present inventors, in human cells, there are large variations among individuals in almost all test values, and it is difficult to make an accurate determination only with a certain reference value or only with a single criterion.

- the cells that have undergone the primary determination are further determined as bone forming (+) cells by performing a secondary determination. It is characterized in that a bone forming (+) cell is determined by performing a third determination on a cell that is difficult to determine whether it is a bone forming (+) cell.
- the determination criteria are ALP activity (alkaline phosphatase activity), ALP index (ALP activity in differentiation induction group / ALP activity in non-differentiation induction group), cell proliferation ability (number of cells after differentiation induction / initial seeded cells) It is preferable that any one of (number) satisfies the reference value of the primary determination or more.
- the determination criterion is whether or not all of ALP activity, ALP index, and cell proliferation ability satisfy the reference value of the secondary determination, A cell that satisfies both the primary determination and the secondary determination is determined as a bone-forming (+) cell, For cells that did not meet the criteria in the primary judgment but met the criteria in the secondary judgment, the cells moved to the tertiary judgment criteria, It is preferable to determine a cell that does not meet the criteria in the secondary determination as a bone-forming ( ⁇ ) cell.
- the determination criterion is whether any of surface antigen (HLA-DR) analysis by flow cytometry, TRAP staining, or alizarin red staining satisfies the criterion, It is preferable to determine cells that satisfy this criterion as osteogenic (+) cells, and cells that do not satisfy these criteria as osteogenic ( ⁇ ) cells.
- the reference value is preferably each (average value + 2SD) of bone-forming ( ⁇ ) cells.

If the ALP activity after differentiation induction is low, it is possible that the cells do not contain osteogenic cells or have no bone forming ability. When the ALP index, which is the ratio of ALP activity in the induction group, is increased, it is indicated that the cells are osteogenic cells and may have osteogenic ability. On the other hand, if the ALP activity is sufficiently high, the differentiation induction of osteogenic cells is very likely to be good. However, even if ALP activity is high, sufficient bone formation cannot be expected after bone transplantation if cell proliferation ability is lost. Therefore, the evaluation method according to the present invention also evaluates cell proliferation ability.

It can also be suitably used in granulated cultured bone produced by inducing differentiation into blast-like cells.
- Bone marrow fluid should be collected approximately one month before surgery. First, local anesthesia is performed on the bone marrow fluid collecting part, and aseptically sucked and collected from the posterior superior iliac crest.
- Bone marrow fluid 10 diluted 4-fold with cell culture medium is seeded in cell culture flask 12, culture is started as shown in Fig. 3 (A), and 4 days after the start of culture. Change the whole medium.
- the cell culture medium either serum-containing ⁇ MEM or serum-free medium can be used for both primary culture and differentiation culture.

In the primary determination, if the reference value of any of the three evaluation methods is exceeded, the cell is determined to be the primary determination standard (O), and if not exceeding all the reference values, the cell is primary It is determined that it is a criterion ( ⁇ ).
- the secondary determination is also performed based on the ALP activity, the ALP index, and the cell proliferation ability as in the primary determination. However, as shown below, these evaluation reference values are different from the primary determination.
- the primary determination criterion ( ⁇ ) cell exceeds the reference value in all of the three evaluation methods in the secondary determination, the cell is determined to be a bone-forming (+) cell, and any reference value is determined. If not, the cell is determined to be an osteogenic ( ⁇ ) cell.

- the distribution of ALP activity is close to cells with and without bone forming ability, and it was difficult to set a clear boundary. If it is set low, many cells having no bone forming ability are mixed, and if it is set high, cells having bone forming ability are excluded.
- ALP activity When a criterion is actually considered using ALP activity, for example, it is conceivable to set a boundary with an average value ⁇ 2SD of ALP activity of cells showing bone formation. Assuming that the value of ALP activity has a normal distribution, 95.45% of cells that actually have osteogenic potential should be able to be recovered, but on the other hand, looking at FIG. 4, it does not have osteogenic potential. It is possible that most cells will also be recovered. It is also conceivable to set the lower limit value of bone-forming (+) cells.

- the reference value may vary depending on the population of patients (gender, age, race, etc.) from which cells are collected. That is, it is important to select an appropriate value that matches the patient as the reference value. Therefore, the reference values shown below are determined by the patient's cells collected by the present inventors, and are not limited to these. With more data, it is possible to set this value more precisely.
- the specific reference value of the secondary determination shown below is exemplified by the lower limit value of each measurement value of bone-forming (+) cells, but each (average value ⁇ 2SD) of bone-forming (+) cells. ) Can be used to obtain reasonable results.

Abstract
Description
再生医療には、一般的に間葉系幹細胞が用いられている。この間葉系幹細胞は、脂肪細胞や骨芽細胞等のさまざまな細胞に分化誘導することができることが知られているが、得られた細胞が目的とする機能を有しているかを事前に判断することは困難であった。 Realization of regenerative medicine for regenerating deficient living tissue is required. Regenerative medicine is a medical technique that uses a cell, biomaterial, and cell growth factor to create a form and function similar to that of the original tissue from a living tissue that cannot be recovered by the healing ability of the living body.
In regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem cells are generally used. These mesenchymal stem cells are known to be able to induce differentiation into various cells such as adipocytes and osteoblasts, but in advance determine whether the obtained cells have the desired function It was difficult.
しかしながら、これまでの本発明者らの報告で、ヒト由来の骨形成性細胞では、細胞の個体差が大きいことが明らかとなった。また、骨形成能は培養により速やかに失われることが明らかとなった。したがって、実際に移植する細胞が骨形成能を有するかどうかの検討は重要であるが、これまで報告されている方法では十分ではないことが判明した。特に従来は細胞のアルカリフォスファターゼ活性(ALP活性)(特許文献1)、骨系マーカーの遺伝子発現(非特許文献1)などが用いられている。ALP活性は骨形成性細胞に有用な評価であるが、それのみでは骨形成性細胞を定義することは困難である。また、骨系マーカーの遺伝子発現も有用な評価であるが、本発明者らの研究の結果からは発現には個体差が大きく、評価として用いる場合には困難な場合も認められた。特に、個体差の大きいヒト由来細胞の評価のためには、一つの基準では十分でなく、複数の評価法を組み合わせることで、信頼性を高めることが重要と考えられるが、そのような評価法はこれまでに報告されていない。
骨形成性細胞とは、骨芽細胞などの骨形成に必須な細胞と定義するが、ここでは特に、異所性に骨形成をすることのできる細胞を骨形成性細胞と定義している。異所性とは本来骨のない部分で骨を形成することのできる能力である。異所性の骨形成能は例えばヒト細胞を保持する担体とともに免疫不全動物の皮下へと移植することによって検証される。実際に骨再生が期待される部位は骨の近傍ではあるが、骨のない部分に向かって骨再生を行う必要があるため、本来骨再生に必要とされる能力はこの異所性の骨形成能が最も適切な評価法と考えられる。しかし、これまでそのような観点で作製された細胞の評価方法はない。 In bone regenerative medicine, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells are mainly used, and there are reports of adipose-derived stem cells, periosteum-derived stem cells, synovial-derived stem cells, and the like. Among them, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells or bone marrow stromal cells are relatively easy to collect and have an extremely high bone forming ability, and are currently used for almost all clinical applications of bone regeneration.
However, previous reports by the present inventors have revealed that human-derived osteogenic cells have large individual differences. It was also clarified that the bone forming ability was quickly lost by culture. Therefore, it is important to examine whether the cells to be transplanted actually have the ability to form bone, but it has been found that the methods reported so far are not sufficient. In particular, cell alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP activity) (Patent Document 1), gene expression of bone markers (Non-Patent Document 1), and the like have been used. Although ALP activity is a useful assessment for osteogenic cells, it alone is difficult to define osteogenic cells. Moreover, although gene expression of bone system markers is a useful evaluation, the results of the study by the present inventors have shown that there are large individual differences in expression, and cases where it is difficult to use as an evaluation. In particular, for the evaluation of human-derived cells with large individual differences, one standard is not sufficient, and it is considered important to improve reliability by combining multiple evaluation methods. Has not been reported so far.
Osteogenic cells are defined as cells essential for bone formation, such as osteoblasts. In particular, cells capable of ectopic bone formation are defined as osteogenic cells. Ectopicity is the ability to form bone in parts that are essentially free of bone. Ectopic bone forming ability is verified, for example, by transplanting subcutaneously in immunodeficient animals with a carrier holding human cells. Although bone regeneration is actually expected in the vicinity of bone, it is necessary to regenerate bone toward the bone-free part, so the ability originally required for bone regeneration is this ectopic bone formation. Noh is considered the most appropriate evaluation method. However, there is no method for evaluating cells produced from such a viewpoint.
一方、細胞の培養中に骨形成能の判定を行うにあたっても、分化誘導中の検査については要する時間も数週間となるため、安易に繰り返すことはできない。 That is, in order to perform bone formation by transplantation, a process as shown in FIG. 1 is performed. As shown in FIG. 1, osteogenic cells are allowed to coexist with a transplant material such as pseudo bone granules, and the pseudo bone granules are decomposed by osteoclasts at the transplant site, while the true bone is regenerated by osteoblasts and the like. At this time, the number of osteogenic cells in the transplant material is of course an important factor, but on the other hand, it is important that proper bone forming ability is maintained. If the number of these osteogenic cells is small or cells with poor bone forming ability are used, proper bone formation is not performed, but it takes a considerable amount of time to confirm actual bone formation. Necessary. If bone formation is not performed properly, the mesenchymal stem cells must be collected again, cultured, transplanted, and reconfirmed, resulting in wasted months. However, treatments that burden the patient, such as transplant surgery, are repeated. Therefore, it is important to appropriately evaluate the function of cultured cells.
On the other hand, even when determining the bone forming ability during cell culture, the time required for the test during differentiation induction is several weeks, so it cannot be easily repeated.
それぞれの検査値について、一定の適合する範囲を指定するのみでなく、適応範囲から外れたサンプルであっても、他の検査値あるいは指標を参照することで目的とする細胞であることを判定可能であることを特徴とする。 That is, in the method for evaluating cultured cells according to the present invention, in order to determine a target cell from the cultured cells, a plurality of test values or indices of the cultured cells are measured, and the function of the cells is accurately predicted by combining them. An evaluation method for judging,
For each test value, not only can you specify a certain compatible range, but even if the sample is outside the applicable range, you can determine the target cell by referring to another test value or index. It is characterized by being.

そこで、本発明にかかる評価方法では、細胞増殖能の評価も行っている。 In the method for evaluating osteogenic cells according to the present invention, the ALP activity used as a criterion is high in osteogenic cells, such as osteoblasts. If the ALP activity after differentiation induction is low, it is possible that the cells do not contain osteogenic cells or have no bone forming ability. When the ALP index, which is the ratio of ALP activity in the induction group, is increased, it is indicated that the cells are osteogenic cells and may have osteogenic ability. On the other hand, if the ALP activity is sufficiently high, the differentiation induction of osteogenic cells is very likely to be good. However, even if ALP activity is high, sufficient bone formation cannot be expected after bone transplantation if cell proliferation ability is lost.
Therefore, the evaluation method according to the present invention also evaluates cell proliferation ability.
12…細胞培養用フラスコ
14…多孔質擬似骨顆粒
16…深底容器 DESCRIPTION OF
なお、以下の工程は、骨髄由来細胞を用いた形態を示しているが、本発明の評価方法は、骨髄以外にも、骨膜、脂肪、末梢血等から分離培養し、同様の方法で培養骨芽細胞様細胞へと分化誘導することによって作製される顆粒型培養骨においても、好適に使用することができる。 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, the case where the target cell is an osteogenic cell will be described as an example. First, a method for producing granular cultured bone that can be effectively applied to treatment by the method for evaluating osteogenic cells of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Granule-type cultured bone can be produced by collecting bone marrow fluid, culturing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, seeding mesenchymal stem cells, and inducing differentiation into cultured osteoblast-like cells.
The following steps show a form using bone marrow-derived cells. However, the evaluation method of the present invention can be cultured separately from periosteum, fat, peripheral blood, etc. in addition to bone marrow, and cultured bones in the same manner. It can also be suitably used in granulated cultured bone produced by inducing differentiation into blast-like cells.
骨髄液は、手術の約1ヶ月前に採取する。まず、骨髄液採取部に局所麻酔を行い、後上腸骨稜より無菌的に吸引して回収する。 • Bone marrow fluid collection Bone marrow fluid should be collected approximately one month before surgery. First, local anesthesia is performed on the bone marrow fluid collecting part, and aseptically sucked and collected from the posterior superior iliac crest.
細胞培養用培地で4倍希釈した骨髄液10を細胞培養用フラスコ12に播いて、図3(A)のように培養を始め、培養開始後4日目に全量培地替えを行う。なお、細胞培養用培地には、一次培養、分化培養ともに、血清入りαMEMまたは無血清培地のいずれも使用できる。
培養過程における一般細菌および真菌に感染していないことの確認は、培地交換毎の培地の観察(感染していれば培地が濁る)により行うとともに、培養開始時、分化誘導前および培養骨芽細胞様細胞の回収時に無菌試験(日本薬局方の基準を満たすかどうか)で確認する。
その後、週2回全量培地交換を行う。継代のタイミングは細胞の状態を見て判断するが、培養開始から約21~28日後に行う。継代時には生細胞数を計測する。 -Cultivation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Confirmation that there is no infection with general bacteria and fungi during the culturing process is made by observing the medium every time the medium is exchanged (if the medium is infected, the medium becomes cloudy), and at the start of culture, before differentiation induction, and cultured osteoblasts Confirm the sterility test (whether it meets the standards of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia) at the time of recovery of the cells.
Thereafter, the whole medium is changed twice a week. The subculture timing is determined based on the state of the cells, but it is about 21 to 28 days after the start of culture. Viable cells are counted at the time of passage.
継代は以下のように行う。フラスコの培地を吸い取った後、ダルベコリン酸バッファー(D-PBS)にて洗浄し、その後、D-PBSを吸い取り、細胞解離剤を加え、37℃で10分間培養する。細胞がはがれていることを確認したのち、D-PBSまたは培地を加え細胞を回収した後、遠心する。培地に再サスペンドして細胞数を計測する。計測後、図3(B)のような多孔質擬似骨顆粒14があらかじめ投入された深底容器16に培養した骨髄液10を投入する。骨髄液10を擬似骨顆粒12の入った深底容器16に投入すると、図3(C)のように骨髄液10および擬似骨顆粒12は浮遊する。 ・ Seeding of mesenchymal stem cells Passage is performed as follows. After evacuating the culture medium in the flask, washing with darbecolate buffer (D-PBS), and then evacuating D-PBS, adding a cell dissociating agent, and culturing at 37 ° C. for 10 minutes. After confirming that the cells are detached, add D-PBS or a medium to collect the cells, and then centrifuge. Resuspend in medium and count cells. After the measurement, the cultured
多孔質擬似骨顆粒14に細胞を播種してから細胞の機能回復のために一晩静置する。1日後には、図3(D)のように骨形成に関与する細胞等の細胞および多孔質擬似骨顆粒14は深底容器16の下部に沈んでいる。このことを確認した後、培地を分化誘導培地に交換する。分化誘導期間は1~3週間で、培地交換は週2回程度行う。分化誘導が進むと、図3(E)のように、擬似骨顆粒14のまわりに付着した培養骨芽細胞様細胞の形態が変化し、骨基質タンパクを分泌し、一塊となっていく。
一方、この過程と平行して評価のために細胞を12ウエルの培養皿に播種する。細胞は1ウエルあたり2×104とする。 -Differentiation induction into cultured osteoblast-like cells Cells are seeded on the porous
Meanwhile, in parallel with this process, cells are seeded in a 12-well culture dish for evaluation. Cells are 2 × 10 4 per well.
1次判定は、ALP活性、ALPインデックス、細胞増殖能をもとに行われる。
1次判定において、前記3つの評価方法のいずれかの基準値を超える場合に、細胞は1次判定基準(○)であると決定され、全ての基準値を超えない場合に、細胞は1次判定基準(×)であると決定される。 Primary determination criteria The primary determination is performed based on ALP activity, ALP index, and cell proliferation ability.
In the primary determination, if the reference value of any of the three evaluation methods is exceeded, the cell is determined to be the primary determination standard (O), and if not exceeding all the reference values, the cell is primary It is determined that it is a criterion (×).
2次判定も、1次判定と同じくALP活性、ALPインデックス、細胞増殖能をもとに行われる。しかし、下記に示すように、これらの評価基準値は1次判定と異なっている。
1次判定基準(○)細胞は、2次判定において、前記3つの評価方法の全てで基準値を超える場合に、細胞は骨形成(+)細胞であると判定され、いずれかの基準値を超えない場合は、細胞は骨形成(-)細胞であると判定される。
1次判定基準(×)細胞は、2次判定において、前記3つの評価方法の全てを満たす場合に、細胞は3次判定基準に移行され、いずれかの基準値を超えない場合は、細胞は骨形成(-)細胞であると判定される。 Secondary determination criteria The secondary determination is also performed based on the ALP activity, the ALP index, and the cell proliferation ability as in the primary determination. However, as shown below, these evaluation reference values are different from the primary determination.
When the primary determination criterion (◯) cell exceeds the reference value in all of the three evaluation methods in the secondary determination, the cell is determined to be a bone-forming (+) cell, and any reference value is determined. If not, the cell is determined to be an osteogenic (−) cell.
When the primary determination criterion (×) cell satisfies all of the above three evaluation methods in the secondary determination, the cell is transferred to the tertiary determination criterion. If any of the reference values is not exceeded, the cell is Determined to be osteogenic (−) cells.
3次判定は、フローサイトメトリーによる表面抗原解析、TRAP染色、アリザリンレッド染色をもとに行われる。
3次判定基準において、いずれかが陽性である場合に、細胞は骨形成(+)細胞であると判定され、全て陰性である場合に、細胞は骨形成(-)細胞であると判定される。 Criteria for tertiary determination The tertiary determination is performed based on surface antigen analysis by flow cytometry, TRAP staining, and alizarin red staining.
If any of the tertiary criteria is positive, the cell is determined to be a bone-forming (+) cell, and if all are negative, the cell is determined to be a bone-forming (-) cell. .
また、骨形成(+)細胞の下限値と設定することも考えられる。しかし、図4を見ると、骨形成(+)細胞の下限値以上でも、骨形成能を持たない細胞も多数存在する。 When a criterion is actually considered using ALP activity, for example, it is conceivable to set a boundary with an average value −2SD of ALP activity of cells showing bone formation. Assuming that the value of ALP activity has a normal distribution, 95.45% of cells that actually have osteogenic potential should be able to be recovered, but on the other hand, looking at FIG. 4, it does not have osteogenic potential. It is possible that most cells will also be recovered.
It is also conceivable to set the lower limit value of bone-forming (+) cells. However, when FIG. 4 is seen, there are many cells that do not have the ability to form bone even when the bone formation (+) cell is below the lower limit.
したがって、本発明者らは、上記の判定方法では骨形成(+)細胞と骨形成(-)細胞のデータの重なりの部分が多いため、骨形成(+)細胞のみが回収できる厳しい基準(1次判定基準)をはじめに設けているのである。 From the above, it can be seen that it is difficult to appropriately determine bone-forming (+) cells using conventionally used indices and simple combinations thereof.
Therefore, the present inventors have many overlapping portions of data of bone forming (+) cells and bone forming (−) cells in the above-described determination method, and therefore, the strict criteria (1) that only bone forming (+) cells can be collected. The following criteria are provided first.
また、1次判定基準を満たす細胞にも、わずかに骨形成(-)細胞が含まれる可能性がある。このため、これらの細胞についても、2次判定基準を行っている。
このように本発明にかかる骨形成性細胞の評価方法では、1次判定~3次判定が行われるが、その結果として判定された骨形成(+)細胞は、本発明者らにより、ほぼ100%骨形成(+)細胞ということが明らかになっている。 However, since many bone-forming (+) cells are included in a portion not selected by the primary determination criterion, the relief is performed using the secondary determination criterion and the tertiary determination criterion.
In addition, cells that satisfy the primary determination criteria may contain a small amount of osteogenic (−) cells. For this reason, the secondary determination standard is performed also about these cells.
As described above, in the osteogenic cell evaluation method according to the present invention, the primary determination to the tertiary determination are performed. As a result, the present inventors have determined that the osteogenic (+) cells are almost 100%. % Bone forming (+) cells have been revealed.
また、2次判定の基準値は骨形成(+)細胞の各(平均値-2SD)または骨形成(+)細胞の各測定値の下限値と設定した。 In the present invention, the reference value for primary determination was set as each (average value + 2SD) of bone-forming (−) cells. At this time, assuming that the sample data has a normal distribution, the probability that a cell having no bone forming ability is erroneously included is (100−95.45) /2=2.275%.
The reference value for secondary determination was set as the lower limit of each measured value of bone forming (+) cells (average value −2SD) or each value of osteogenic (+) cells.
なお、以下に示す2次判定の具体的な基準値は、骨形成(+)細胞の各測定値の下限値を例に挙げているが、骨形成(+)細胞の各(平均値-2SD)を用いても妥当な結果が得られる。 The reference value may vary depending on the population of patients (gender, age, race, etc.) from which cells are collected. That is, it is important to select an appropriate value that matches the patient as the reference value. Therefore, the reference values shown below are determined by the patient's cells collected by the present inventors, and are not limited to these. With more data, it is possible to set this value more precisely.
In addition, the specific reference value of the secondary determination shown below is exemplified by the lower limit value of each measurement value of bone-forming (+) cells, but each (average value −2SD) of bone-forming (+) cells. ) Can be used to obtain reasonable results.
ALP活性の測定には、たとえばp-ニトロフェニルフォスフェート錠剤セット(Sigma-Aldrich社)と細胞集計キットであるWST-8(同仁化学研究所社)を用いることができる。
以下、ALP活性測定を前記の製品で行う場合を例に測定方法を示す。まずWST-8溶液を各ウエルに100μlずつ添加する。炭酸ガスインキュベーター内で1~4時間呈色反応を行った後、マイクロプレートリーダーを用いて吸光度を測定する。WST-8分析後、細胞膜タンパクを溶解抽出し、その溶解液にp-ニトロフェ二ルフォスフェート溶液を加え、室温で10分間静置後、反応をNaOHで止め、p-ニトロフェノール(p-ニトロフェニルフォスフェートのALPによる分解産物)の吸光度を測定する。ALP活性は、時間あたりのp-ニトロフェノールのモル数/タンパク質の質量(μmol p-nitrophenol produced/min/μg protein)で表される。あるいは、p-ニトロフェノール吸光度(OD;405nm)/WST-8吸光度(OD;450nm)として表すこともできる。 ALP activity For the measurement of ALP activity, for example, p-nitrophenyl phosphate tablet set (Sigma-Aldrich) and cell counting kit WST-8 (Dojindo Laboratories) can be used.
Hereinafter, the measurement method will be described by taking ALP activity measurement with the above product as an example. First, 100 μl of WST-8 solution is added to each well. After a color reaction for 1 to 4 hours in a carbon dioxide incubator, the absorbance is measured using a microplate reader. After WST-8 analysis, cell membrane protein was dissolved and extracted, p-nitrophenyl phosphate solution was added to the lysate, allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, the reaction was stopped with NaOH, and p-nitrophenol (p-nitro The absorbance of the degradation product of phenyl phosphate by ALP is measured. ALP activity is expressed in moles of p-nitrophenol per hour / mass of protein (μmol p-nitrophenol produced / min / μg protein). Alternatively, it can also be expressed as p-nitrophenol absorbance (OD; 405 nm) / WST-8 absorbance (OD; 450 nm).
骨形成(-)細胞のALP活性平均値+2SDは、2.31{p-ニトロフェノール吸光度(OD;405nm)/WST-8吸光度(OD;450nm)}であった。この値は166単位(μmol p-nitrophenol produced/min/μg protein)に相当する。このため、本発明者らは、ALP活性の1次判定の基準値を約166単位(μmol p-nitrophenol produced/min/μg protein)と設定した。すなわち、ALP活性の1次判定の基準値は166±5単位(μmol p-nitrophenol produced/min/μg protein)であることが好適である。
この細胞あたりのALP活性の単位(μmol p-nitrophenol produced/min/μg protein)への換算式は、本研究に用いた細胞により、本発明者らにより求められたものである。 FIG. 7 shows an example of ALP activity measurement results.
The average value of ALP activity + 2SD of osteogenic (−) cells was 2.31 {p-nitrophenol absorbance (OD; 405 nm) / WST-8 absorbance (OD; 450 nm)}. This value corresponds to 166 units (μmol p-nitrophenol produced / min / μg protein). For this reason, the present inventors set the reference value for primary determination of ALP activity as about 166 units (μmol p-nitrophenol produced / min / μg protein). That is, the reference value for primary determination of ALP activity is preferably 166 ± 5 units (μmol p-nitrophenol produced / min / μg protein).
The conversion formula for the unit of ALP activity per cell (μmol p-nitrophenol produced / min / μg protein) was determined by the present inventors depending on the cells used in this study.
ALPインデックスは、分化誘導培地を添加した細胞(分化誘導群)と、コントロールとして通常培地をいれた細胞(非分化誘導群)についてALP活性を測定し、(分化誘導群のALP活性/非分化誘導群のALP活性)により算出される。 ALP index The ALP index was measured by measuring ALP activity for cells to which a differentiation-inducing medium was added (differentiation-inducing group) and cells in which normal medium was added as a control (non-differentiation-inducing group). (ALP activity of non-differentiation induction group).
また、骨形成(+)細胞のALPインデックス測定値の下限値は、1.01であった。このため、本発明者らは、ALPインデックスの2次判定の基準値を約1.01と設定した。すなわち、ALPインデックスの2次判定の基準値は1.01±0.15であることが好適である。 The average value of ALP index + 2SD of osteogenic (−) cells was 3.95. For this reason, the inventors set the reference value for the primary determination of the ALP index as about 3.95. That is, it is preferable that the reference value for primary determination of the ALP index is 3.95 ± 0.15.
Further, the lower limit value of the measured ALP index value of the bone-forming (+) cells was 1.01. For this reason, the present inventors set the reference value for secondary determination of the ALP index to about 1.01. That is, the reference value for secondary determination of the ALP index is preferably 1.01 ± 0.15.
細胞増殖能は、培養前後での細胞数の割合、すなわち(分化誘導後の細胞数/初期播種細胞数)により求めることができる。実際には、分化誘導期間終了後に細胞数を測定することにより得られるが、播種した細胞を一定にすることで、(回収された細胞数/播種した細胞数)として算出することが可能である。ここでは、分化誘導期間中の細胞増殖率をもって細胞増殖能と定義する。また、例えば前記の細胞集計キット(WST-8)のOD値の比を持って判定することができる。すなわち、前記の呈色反応を行った後、450nmの吸光度(OD値)を測定し、分化誘導前の細胞数に対するWST-8のOD値で除することで、分化誘導中の細胞増殖率を求めることができる。なお、本発明にかかる細胞増殖能判定は、1継代から4継代までについて適用することができる。 -Cell proliferation ability Cell proliferation ability can be calculated | required by the ratio of the number of cells before and behind culture | cultivation, ie, (number of cells after differentiation induction / number of initial seed | inoculated cells). Actually, it can be obtained by measuring the number of cells after the differentiation induction period, but it can be calculated as (number of recovered cells / number of seeded cells) by keeping the seeded cells constant. . Here, the cell proliferation rate during the differentiation induction period is defined as the cell proliferation ability. For example, the determination can be made with the ratio of the OD values of the cell counting kit (WST-8). That is, after performing the above-mentioned color reaction, the absorbance (OD value) at 450 nm is measured, and divided by the OD value of WST-8 relative to the number of cells before differentiation induction, the cell proliferation rate during differentiation induction is obtained. Can be sought. The cell proliferation ability determination according to the present invention can be applied from
骨形成(-)細胞の増殖能平均値+2SDは、9.7であった。このため、本発明者らは、細胞増殖能の1次判定の基準値を約9.7と設定した。すなわち、細胞増殖能の1次判定の基準値は9.7±0.3であることが好適である。
また、骨形成(+)細胞の増殖能測定値の下限値は、5.6であった。このため、本発明者らは、細胞増殖能の2次判定の基準値を約5.6と設定した。すなわち、細胞増殖能の1次判定の基準値は5.6±0.3であることが好適である。 FIG. 8 shows an example of measurement results of cell proliferation ability.
The average proliferation ability + 2SD of osteogenic (−) cells was 9.7. For this reason, the present inventors set the reference value for the primary determination of cell proliferation ability to be about 9.7. That is, it is preferable that the reference value for the primary determination of cell proliferation ability is 9.7 ± 0.3.
Moreover, the lower limit of the proliferative ability measurement value of the bone forming (+) cells was 5.6. For this reason, the present inventors set the reference value for secondary determination of cell proliferation ability to be about 5.6. That is, it is preferable that the reference value for primary determination of cell proliferation ability is 5.6 ± 0.3.
本発明において、3次判定の基準は、表面抗原(HLA-DR)陽性細胞が6%以上、TRAP陽性、アリザリンレッド陽性と設定した。 Next, the criteria and evaluation methods (surface antigen (HLA-DR) analysis by flow cytometry, TRAP staining, alizarin red staining) used in the tertiary determination will be described in detail.
In the present invention, the criterion for tertiary determination was set to 6% or more of surface antigen (HLA-DR) positive cells, TRAP positive, and alizarin red positive.
6色フローサイトメトリー分析は、既存のフローサイトメーターを使用することができるが、ここではFACS Ariaフローサイトメーター(BDIS社)を使用した。 -Surface antigen analysis by flow cytometry Although the existing flow cytometer can be used for 6-color flow cytometry analysis, the FACS Aria flow cytometer (BDIS) was used here.

このHLA-DR陽性細胞の6%という下限値は、本発明者らが数多くの被験者で見出した経験的に決めた値であるが、本発明はこの数値に限定されるものではない。すなわち、さらに多くのサンプルのデータにより、この数値をより厳密に設定することは可能であり、その場合には具体的には骨を形成した細胞の平均値から2SD等を減じた値と、骨を形成しなかった細胞の平均値に2SD等を加えた値のうち、より高い数値として近似できる。 As shown in FIG. 9A, when the measured HLA-DR positive cells are 6% or more, it is determined as a cell fraction containing osteogenic (+) cells. However, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the measured HLA-DR positive cells are less than 6%, it is determined as a fraction that has a high possibility of not containing osteogenic (+) cells.
The lower limit of 6% of the HLA-DR positive cells is an empirically determined value found by many inventors in the subject, but the present invention is not limited to this value. That is, it is possible to set this numerical value more strictly by using data of a larger number of samples. In this case, specifically, a value obtained by subtracting 2SD or the like from the average value of cells forming bone, Among the values obtained by adding 2SD or the like to the average value of the cells that did not form, it can be approximated as a higher numerical value.
