Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for differentiating stem cells into smooth muscle cells and a smooth muscle cell-scaffold complex for tissue engineering are provided to effectively differentiate human adipose-derived stem cells into the smooth muscle cells. CONSTITUTION: A method for differentiating stem cells into smooth muscle cells comprises a step of applying stress to a stem cell-inoculating elastic scaffold in a medium containing biochemical differentiation factor of TFG-beta-1, platelet-derived growth factor-BB(PDGF-BB), ascorbic acid, retinoic acid, or angiotensin II. The biochemical differentiation factor is retinoic acid. The elastic scaffold is formed of biodegradable polymers. The biodegradable polymer is a copolymer of lactic acid and carprolactone. A smooth muscle cell-scaffold complex for tissue engineering contains the differentiated smooth muscle cells for vascular disease treatment or wound healing.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for differentiation of stem cells into vascular cells by culturing in a three-dimensional cell cluster is provided to form hypoxic state and to efficiently induce the differentiation. CONSTITUTION: A composition for cell therapy for treating vascular diseases or wound contains a cell cluster containing vascular cells differentiated from the stem cell and culture liquid thereof as an active ingredient. The vascular diseases are cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, or ischemic diseases. The stem cells are adipose stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow stem cells, umbilical stem cells, nervous stem cells, or pluripotent stem cells. A three-dimensional cell cluster is formed in a hypoxia condition therein.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for differentiating adipose stem cells to adipocytes using heparin-binding domain(HBD) is provided to induce cell adhesion and to effectively obtain a large amount of adipocytes. CONSTITUTION: A culture container is fixed on a heparin-binding domain(HBD) with an adhesion activity of adipose stem cells. The HBD is fixed in a recombinant protein form with a polypeptide linker by physical absorption. The polypeptide linker is maltose-binding protein(MBP), hydrophobin, or hydrophobic cell penetrating peptides(CPPs). The recombinant protein has an amino acid sequence of sequence number 2.
Abstract:
본 발명은 헤파린 결합 도메인(heparin-binding domain, HBD)을 이용한 지방줄기세포의 지방세포로의 분화방법에 관한 것으로서, 구체적으로 지방줄기세포(adipose-derived stem cells; ASCs)에 대한 접착활성을 갖는 HBP가 표면에 고정되어 있는 배양용기; 및 상기 배양용기에 지방줄기세포를 접종하여 지방줄기세포를 배양용기 표면에 접착된 상태로 배양하는 단계를 포함하는 지방줄기세포의 지방세포로의 분화방법에 관한 것이다. 본 발명에 따라 지방줄기세포에 대한 접착활성을 갖는 HBD를 배양용기에 고정시키면, HBD와 지방줄기세포의 상호작용에 의한 세포접착이 유도되어 지방줄기세포를 배양용기의 표면에 접착된 상태로 배양할 수 있어 지방세포로의 대량 분화를 효과적으로 유도할 수 있다. 따라서 본 발명은 지방줄기세포의 분화 및 증식 연구와, 조직공학 및 세포치료와 같은 재생 의료분야에 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있다. 지방줄기세포, 지방세포, 세포접착, 헤파린-결합 도메인, 세포분화
