Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition containing coenzyme Q10 as an active ingredient for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases or immune rejection. More particularly, coenzyme Q10 suppresses or reduces the activity of Th17 and effectively promotes or enhances the activity of regulatory T cells (Treg), thereby being used as a composition for preventing or treating immune rejection such as graft rejection or inflammatory diseases. In addition, coenzyme Q10 does not cause cytotoxicity and the side effects to the drug is not toxic, thereby being safely administered in the long-term and being stable in the body.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for isolating mesenchymal stem cells from synovial fluid and, more specifically, to a method for isolating and culturing mesenchymal stem cells from synovial fluid of an individual with immune disease; a composition containing the isolated mesenchymal stem cells as active ingredients for preventing and treating immune diseases; and a cell therapeutic agent containing the synovial fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells as active ingredients for preventing and treating rheumatoid arthritis. The synovial fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the present invention are isolated from an individual with immune diseases. The synovial fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells reduce abnormal regulation of immune responses such as transplantation rejection, which are an existing problem when the synovial fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells are used as a cell therapeutic agent, thereby obtaining effective and safe treatment effects.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition containing SR11302 as an active ingredient for preventing or treating immune diseases and, more specifically, to a composition containing SR11302 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient for preventing or treating immune diseases. The compounds according to the present invention effectively suppresses the differentiation of cytotoxic Th17 cells which produces and secretes inflammatory cytokines and enhances the activity of regulatory T cells (Treg) which suppresses the function of abnormally activated immunocytes and controls inflammation, thereby being used as a pharmaceutical composition or an immunosuppressor for preventing or treating autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, and immune diseases such as transplant rejection, caused by various abnormal immune responses.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An antioxidant is provided to effectively enhance the expression of Rcan3 gene and to be used as an immunosuppressive agent for treating or preventing immune diseases because Rcan3 protein suppresses calcineurin pathway. CONSTITUTION: An antioxidant increases the expression of Rcan3 gene. The antioxidant is rebamipide or polyphenol compounds. The polyphenol compounds are proanthocyanidin. A method for increasing the expression of Rcan3 in vitro comprises the step of treating cells with the antioxidant. A composition for preventing or treating immune disease contains Rcan3 gene or protein as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition containing regulatory T cells for treating autoimmune diseases is provided to promote the generation of regulatory B cells and to suppress activation of antibody producing B cells, thereby treating immune diseases including autoimmune diseases. CONSTITUTION: A composition for treating autoimmune diseases contains regulatory T cells. The composition promotes generation of regulatory B cells and suppresses the activation of antibody producing B cells. The regulatory T cells are autologous. The regulatory T cells include natural regulatory T cells and adaptive regulatory T cells. The regulatory T cells are differentiated by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies and TGF-beta.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition for preventing or treating immunization disease including bone marrow-derived suppressor cell and rebamipide effectively treats immunization reaction and inflammation, by reducing the level of an autoimmune antibody and accelerating the activation of immunodulatory T cells. CONSTITUTION: A composition for preventing or treating immunization disease includes bone marrow-derived suppressor cell and rebamipide. The marrow-derived suppressor cell and rebamipide accelerates or increase the activity of Regulatory T cell: Treg and decrease the concentration of IgG, IgG1, and lgG2a in blood. The marrow-derived suppressor cell and rebamipide reduces and suppress the expression of IL-17 which is the inflammatory cytokine. The composition includes 5x10^5-2x10^6 of the marrow-derived suppressor cells.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Obesity preventing or treating composition comprising rebamipide is provided to reduce LDL cholesterol levels and to increase HDL cholesterol levels. CONSTITUTION: Obesity preventing or treating composition comprising rebamipide comprises rebamipide compounds or salt of the rebamipide compounds. Rebamipide is capable of reducing weight, fat cells, total cholesterol levels, glucose and LDL cholesterol levels. Rebamipide has anti-obesity activiation through an action of changing white fat into brown fat. Rebamipide increases the activation of amplification of a regulatory T cell.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An immunotherapeutic agent of a nanosome form containing a cell suspension and abatacept is provided to ensure a high transmission rate of abatacept into a target site and to effectively suppress TNF-alpha and IL-17 generation. CONSTITUTION: An immunotherapeutic agent of a nanosome form contains a cell suspension and abatacept. A composition for preventing or treating immune diseases contains the immunotherapeutic agent. A method for manufacturing the immunotherapeutic agent comprises: a step of suspending macrophage; a step of passing the suspension solution through a membrane filter; a step of adding abatacept to the solution; and a step of isolating the immunotherapeutic agent from the solution. The macrophage is suspended in a PBS solution in a concentration of 1x10^6 to 1x10^7 cells/ml.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An immunotherapeutic agent containing a cell suspension and methotrexate is provided to enhance methotrexate transfer rate to a target site and to effectively suppress TNF-alpha generation. CONSTITUTION: An immunotherapeutic agent of a nanosome form contains a cell suspension and methotrexate. The cell suspension is a cell membrane in cell lysate. A composition for preventing or treating immune diseases contains an immunotherapeutic agent. The immune diseases are autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, or cell, tissue, or organ transplantation rejection. [Reference numerals] (AA) MTX-containing nanosome
