In one example, each milliliter of blood sample can be mixed with 1.5 mg or more, such as between 1.6 and 2.0 mg, of a divalent cation chelating agent (such as K2 EDTA, K3 EDTA or citric acid) to form a mixture in a container. .

接著,步驟13,將該混合物處理成含幹細胞之溶液。該處理可包括幹細胞活化以及純化/分離之步驟,諸如圖3中所述之步驟21以及22。在此所使用之術語“純化”或“分離”意指實質的分開小型細胞(如,尺寸大於2微米以及小 於6微米之細胞)與大型細胞(如,尺寸大於6微米之細胞),如,藉由移除混合物或血液樣本中之大型細胞,獲得該混合物或血液樣本中之小型細胞之動作。 Next, in step 13, the mixture is processed into a solution containing stem cells. This treatment may include steps of stem cell activation and purification/separation, such as steps 21 and 22 as described in FIG. The term "purified" or "isolated" as used herein, means substantially separate small cells (eg, larger than 2 microns in size and small). The action of the small cells in the mixture or blood sample is obtained by removing cells or large cells (e.g., cells larger than 6 micrometers in size), for example, by removing large cells from the mixture or blood sample.

參照圖3,於步驟21中,將在步驟12中形成之混合物貯存在2℃至12℃之間之溫度下,更佳地2℃至7℃之間,或在4℃下,適合的設備中(如,冰箱或其它用於保持東西冷度之裝置)歷時一段預定的時間。該段時間可在3個小時至72個小時之間,更佳地3個小時至6個小時之間、6個小時至72個小時之間、6個小時至48個小時之間、16個小時至72個小時之間、16個小時至48小時之間、36個小時至60個小時之間、48個小時至72個小時之間或大約48個小時。在該混合物已經貯存一段預定的時間之後,用二價陽離子螯合劑(諸如K2 EDTA、K3 EDTA或檸檬酸)活化該混合物中一或多種特定類型之成體幹細胞(如,SB細胞),即,活化該一或多種特定類型之成體幹細胞之細胞周期,使從G0進入G1。該活化有關二價陽離子螯合劑抑制p53的功能之能力(假設藉由螯合Zn2+),從而使該一或多種特定類型之成體幹細胞(如,SB細胞)離開其細胞周期之G0靜止階段,進入G1階段。因為p53蛋白需要Zn2+才可適當折疊而形成功能蛋白,所以利用二價陽離子螯合劑螯合Zn2+,可能是活化該一或多種特定類型之成體幹細胞(如,SB細胞)之關鍵步驟。也有可能是,二價陽離子螯合劑螯合其它二價離子(如,Ca2+),從而活化該一或多種特定類型之成體幹細胞,迫使其等增生以及擴張。 Referring to Figure 3, in step 21, the mixture formed in step 12 is stored at a temperature between 2 ° C and 12 ° C, more preferably between 2 ° C and 7 ° C, or at 4 ° C, suitable equipment Medium (eg, a refrigerator or other device for maintaining the coolness of things) for a predetermined period of time. This period can be between 3 hours and 72 hours, preferably between 3 hours and 6 hours, between 6 hours and 72 hours, between 6 hours and 48 hours, 16 Hours to 72 hours, 16 hours to 48 hours, 36 hours to 60 hours, 48 hours to 72 hours, or approximately 48 hours. After the mixture has been stored for a predetermined period of time, one or more specific types of adult stem cells (eg, SB cells) in the mixture are activated with a divalent cationic chelating agent (such as K2 EDTA, K3 EDTA or citric acid), ie, The cell cycle of the one or more specific types of adult stem cells is activated to enter G1 from G0. This activation is related to the ability of the divalent cation chelating agent to inhibit the function of p53 (assuming sequestration of Zn 2+ ) such that the one or more specific types of adult stem cells (eg, SB cells) leave the G0 of their cell cycle. Stage, enter the G1 stage. Because p53 protein requires Zn 2+ to fold properly to form a functional protein, chelation of Zn 2+ with a divalent cation chelating agent may be the key to activation of one or more specific types of adult stem cells (eg, SB cells). step. It is also possible that the divalent cation chelating agent sequesters other divalent ions (e.g., Ca2 + ) to activate the one or more specific types of adult stem cells, forcing them to proliferate and expand.

在步驟21中,該混合物因重力而分開成多個各別層,包括上層以及下層。該上層,或上清液,可具有體積在20至250毫升之間、40至125毫升之間或50至100毫升之間。該上層含有血小板、血清以及一或多種特定類型之小型成體幹細胞(即,例如SB細胞)、BLSCs(即,CD66e(+)成體幹細胞)以及VSELs(如,CD133(+)成體幹細胞以及CD34(+)成體幹細胞)。血液樣本中,大部分含大型細胞之品系以及大型成體幹細胞,如該血液樣本中,大於95%、98%或99%之大型細胞,是在下層中。上清液之體積對血液樣本之體積之比,範圍可從,例如,1/3至一半。 In step 21, the mixture is divided into a plurality of individual layers by gravity, including an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer, or supernatant, may have a volume between 20 and 250 milliliters, between 40 and 125 milliliters, or between 50 and 100 milliliters. The upper layer contains platelets, serum, and one or more specific types of small adult stem cells (ie, such as SB cells), BLSCs (ie, CD66e (+) adult stem cells), and VSELs (eg, CD133 (+) adult stem cells, and CD34 (+) adult stem cells). In blood samples, most of the large cell-containing lines and large adult stem cells, such as large blood cells in the blood sample, greater than 95%, 98%, or 99%, are in the lower layer. The ratio of the volume of the supernatant to the volume of the blood sample can range, for example, from one third to one half.

接著,在步驟22中,可收集實際上所有的上層,或將其轉移至液體容器中,諸如袋、針筒或玻璃瓶,用以產生含幹細胞之溶液或幹細胞混合物。該上層,如,含幹細胞之溶液,含有小型細胞,其包含血小板以及小型成體幹細胞。小型成體幹細胞於該含幹細胞之溶液中之數目,可大於或等於1千萬個(如,大於或等於3千萬個、大於或等於5千萬個、1千萬至5億個之間、2千5百萬至3億個之間或3千萬至5億個之間)。該含幹細胞之溶液亦可含二價陽離子螯合劑(如,EDTA)和/或生長因子。 Next, in step 22, virtually all of the upper layers can be collected or transferred to a liquid container, such as a bag, syringe or glass bottle, to produce a solution containing stem cells or a mixture of stem cells. The upper layer, for example, a solution containing stem cells, contains small cells including platelets and small adult stem cells. The number of small adult stem cells in the stem cell-containing solution may be greater than or equal to 10 million (eg, greater than or equal to 30 million, greater than or equal to 50 million, and between 10 and 500 million) Between 25 and 300 million or between 30 and 500 million). The stem cell-containing solution may also contain a divalent cation chelating agent (eg, EDTA) and/or a growth factor.

此外,該含幹細胞之溶液幾乎不包括或實質上排除大型細胞(如,大型成體幹細胞以及細胞系)。例如,大型細胞可占小於該含幹細胞之溶液之總數目的5%(如,小於1%、0.5%或0.01%)。例如,該含幹細胞之溶液(如,收集到的上層)中,紅血球之數目可小於105或104個/毫升。較佳地, 每毫升該含幹細胞之溶液中紅血球之數目小於103個。每毫升該含幹細胞之溶液中白血球之數目可小於104個(如,小於103個)。較佳地,每毫升該含幹細胞之溶液中白血球之數目小於102個。 Furthermore, the stem cell-containing solution hardly includes or substantially excludes large cells (eg, large adult stem cells and cell lines). For example, large cells may comprise less than 5% (eg, less than 1%, 0.5%, or 0.01%) of the total number of solutions of the stem cells. For example, in the solution containing stem cells (e.g., the collected upper layer), the number of red blood cells may be less than 10 5 or 10 4 /ml. Preferably, the number of red blood cells per ml of the stem cell-containing solution is less than 10 3 . The number of white blood cells per ml of the stem cell-containing solution may be less than 10 4 (e.g., less than 10 3 ). Preferably, the number of white blood cells per ml of the stem cell-containing solution is less than 10 2 .

該含幹細胞之溶液之全部的細胞中,大於95%(如,99%或99.99%)可為小型細胞。該小型細胞可包括血小板、Lgr5(+)細胞、CD349(+)細胞、CD133(+)細胞、CD34(+)以及CD66e(+)細胞。血小板可占該含幹細胞之溶液中之幹細胞的75%至85%。該全部的小型細胞中,大於4%(如,大於5%或4.5%至10%之間)可為Lgr5+成體幹細胞。CD349(+)成體幹細胞可占大於該含幹細胞之溶液之全部的小型細胞中的4%(如,大於5%或4.5%至10%之間)。該小型細胞中,小於2%(如,小於1%或0.5%)可為CD133(+)細胞以及CD34(+)細胞之組合。該小型細胞中,小於6%(如,小於5%或4.5%)可為CD66e(+)細胞。 More than 95% (e.g., 99% or 99.99%) of the cells of the stem cell-containing solution may be small cells. The minicells may include platelets, Lgr5(+) cells, CD349(+) cells, CD133(+) cells, CD34(+), and CD66e(+) cells. The platelets may comprise from 75% to 85% of the stem cells in the solution containing the stem cells. More than 4% (eg, greater than 5% or between 4.5% and 10%) of all small cells may be Lgr5+ adult stem cells. CD349(+) adult stem cells may account for 4% (e.g., greater than 5% or between 4.5% and 10%) of the smaller cells than the total solution of the stem cells. In this small cell, less than 2% (eg, less than 1% or 0.5%) may be a combination of CD133(+) cells and CD34(+) cells. Less than 6% (eg, less than 5% or 4.5%) of the small cells may be CD66e(+) cells.

使用流動式細胞測量術或其它習知的技術(如,抗體為基礎的技術,諸如抗體-共軛珠),亦可進一步分離出任一種特定的小型細胞。 Any particular small cell can be further isolated using flow cytometry or other conventional techniques (eg, antibody-based techniques, such as antibody-conjugated beads).

該收集到的上層可用作為含幹細胞之溶液(如,投予至受試者或貯存起來),或進一步處理。例如,可進一步將其純化(如,過濾)或混合與一或多種額外的組份。可於該收集到的上層中加入體積,如大於400毫升,諸如500至900毫升之間之適合的無Ca2+細胞介質或溶液,用以製造含幹細胞之溶液。該適合的無Ca2+介質或溶液,諸如含NaCl 溶液,可進一步不含任何的二價離子,包括Mg2+。該含NaCl溶液,例如,可為食鹽水(如,具0.90% w/v之NaCl,約300mOsm/L或每公升9.0克之溶液)。 The collected upper layer can be used as a solution containing stem cells (e.g., administered to a subject or stored), or further processed. For example, it can be further purified (eg, filtered) or mixed with one or more additional components. A volume, such as greater than 400 ml, such as between 500 and 900 ml of a suitable Ca 2+ free cell medium or solution may be added to the collected upper layer to produce a solution containing stem cells. The suitable Ca 2+ free medium or solution, such as a solution containing NaCl, may be further free of any divalent ions, including Mg 2+ . The NaCl-containing solution, for example, may be a saline solution (e.g., a solution having 0.90% w/v NaCl, about 300 mOsm/L or 9.0 g per liter).

可將該含幹細胞之溶液貯存在冷凍貯存溫度下,如,等於或小於-70℃或-80℃(如,-75℃至-85℃之間),歷時一段很長的時間(如,超過一周、一個月或一年)。當準備使用時,可快速地解凍該冷凍的含幹細胞之溶液,以及任擇地混合與之前所述之適合的無Ca2+介質或溶液(如,0.9% NaCl)。 The stem cell-containing solution can be stored at a freezing storage temperature, for example, at or below -70 ° C or -80 ° C (eg, between -75 ° C and -85 ° C) for a long period of time (eg, exceeding One week, one month or one year). When ready for use, the frozen stem cell-containing solution can be quickly thawed, and optionally mixed with a Ca 2+ free medium or solution (e.g., 0.9% NaCl) as described previously.

抑制組蛋白去乙醯酶(HDAC)之活性 Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity

用以上所述之程序產生的含幹細胞之溶液或組成物,可用於抑制HDAC活性。 A solution or composition containing stem cells produced by the procedures described above can be used to inhibit HDAC activity.

例如,可於受試者身上投予該含幹細胞之組成物(如,靜脈注射),用以抑制或減少該受試者之HDAC活性。該治療可,例如,減少該受試者之HDAC活性至少20%,如,至少30%、40%、50%、60%、70%或更高。於受試者身上,可投予自體或異體成體幹細胞。 For example, the stem cell-containing composition (e.g., intravenously) can be administered to a subject to inhibit or reduce HDAC activity in the subject. The treatment can, for example, reduce the HDAC activity of the subject by at least 20%, such as at least 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% or more. Autologous or allogeneic adult stem cells can be administered to the subject.

HDACs在後生的調節中扮演關鍵的角色,其涉及許多生物學過程以及疾病。後生修飾是可逆的。然而,其等在某些疾病中可能會不平衡或異常。HDACs已顯示出可為許多疾病之有前途的藥物標靶,包括癌症、神經退化性病症、免疫病症、糖尿病以及心血管疾病。見,如,Arguelles et al.,Drug Discovery Today,21(3):499-509(2015):Abel and Zukin,Curr.Opin.Pharmacol.,8(1):57-64(2008); Irwin et al.,Drug Development Research,77:109-123(2016);以及Huang,Journal of Cellular Physiology,209:611-616(2006)。因為含幹細胞之溶液是HDAC抑制劑,其可用於調整此等過程以及治療該等疾病。 HDACs play a key role in epigenetic regulation, involving many biological processes and diseases. Epigenetic modifications are reversible. However, they may be unbalanced or abnormal in certain diseases. HDACs have been shown to be promising drug targets for many diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, immune disorders, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. See, for example, Arguelles et al., Drug Discovery Today, 21(3): 499-509 (2015): Abel and Zukin, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol., 8(1): 57-64 (2008); Irwin et al., Drug Development Research, 77: 109-123 (2016); and Huang, Journal of Cellular Physiology, 209:611-616 (2006). Because the solution containing stem cells is an HDAC inhibitor, it can be used to modulate such processes and treat such diseases.

例如,譜系重編程(亦稱作轉分化)是一種過程,其中一種成熟的成體細胞可在沒有經歷中間多功能狀態或前趨細胞類型之情況下,轉形成另一種成熟的成體細胞。該過程涉及不同後生狀態之轉變。因此,後生的調節在譜系重編程方面,扮演關鍵的角色。因此於受試者身上投予在此所述之含幹細胞之溶液,可調節該受試者身上之譜系重編程。例如,含幹細胞之溶液可操控第一類型之終末分化細胞回轉或轉形成(i)該第一類型之終末分化細胞上游的成體細胞,或(ii)不同類型的終末分化細胞。 For example, lineage reprogramming (also known as transdifferentiation) is a process in which a mature adult cell can be transformed into another mature adult cell without undergoing an intermediate multifunctional state or a pre-existing cell type. This process involves a shift in different epigenetic states. Therefore, epigenetic regulation plays a key role in pedigree reprogramming. Thus, administration of a solution containing stem cells as described herein to a subject can modulate lineage reprogramming in the subject. For example, a solution containing stem cells can manipulate a terminally differentiated cell of the first type to rotate or transform into (i) adult cells upstream of the terminally differentiated cells of the first type, or (ii) different types of terminally differentiated cells.

據此,在此所述之含幹細胞之組成物可用作為HDAC抑制劑,用於治療,例如,免疫病症(如,自體免疫病症或發炎性病症)、神經退化性或神經系統病症、病毒感染、癌症或糖尿病。 Accordingly, the stem cell-containing composition described herein can be used as an HDAC inhibitor for the treatment, for example, an immune disorder (eg, an autoimmune disorder or an inflammatory disorder), a neurodegenerative or neurological disorder, a viral infection. , cancer or diabetes.

神經退化性疾病包括,例如,精神***症、阿茲海默症、帕金森氏症、杭丁頓氏舞蹈症、多發性硬化症以 及肌肉萎縮性脊髓側索硬化症(ALS)。 Neurodegenerative diseases include, for example, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. And amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

可治療之癌症可為,如,淋巴瘤(諸如皮膚T細胞淋巴瘤、周邊T細胞淋巴瘤、何杰金氏淋巴瘤、非何杰金氏淋巴瘤或彌漫性大型B細胞淋巴瘤)、肺癌(諸如非小細胞肺癌或支氣管肺癌)、乳癌、卵巢癌、***癌、結直腸癌、多發性骨髓瘤、肝癌(諸如肝細胞癌或肝內膽管癌)、腎癌、胃癌、皮膚癌(諸如黑色素癌)、甲狀腺癌、食道癌、腦癌、胰臟癌、口腔癌、咽喉癌(諸如咽癌或喉癌)、子宮頸癌、骨癌、膀胱癌、白血病或原位癌。 The treatable cancer can be, for example, a lymphoma (such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), lung cancer. (such as non-small cell lung cancer or bronchial lung cancer), breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, multiple myeloma, liver cancer (such as hepatocellular carcinoma or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma), kidney cancer, stomach cancer, skin cancer ( Such as melanoma), thyroid cancer, esophageal cancer, brain cancer, pancreatic cancer, oral cancer, throat cancer (such as pharyngeal or laryngeal cancer), cervical cancer, bone cancer, bladder cancer, leukemia or carcinoma in situ.

病毒感染(或病毒感染引起之疾病)可為HIV感染、後天免疫缺乏症候群(AIDS)、疱疹病毒感染(如,HCMV、HSV或EBV感染)或HBV感染。 The viral infection (or the disease caused by the viral infection) may be HIV infection, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), herpes virus infection (eg, HCMV, HSV or EBV infection) or HBV infection.

含幹細胞之組成物可用於治療第I型糖尿病(或稱作糖尿病I型)或第II型糖尿病(或稱作糖尿病II型)。 The stem cell-containing composition can be used to treat Type I diabetes (or called Type I Diabetes) or Type II Diabetes (or Type II Diabetes).

利用針對特殊疾病或病症之標準診斷技術,可辨識出可接受以上所述之疾病或病症治療之受試者。“治療”意指於患有疾病或病症或具有發生該疾病或病症風險之受試人身上,投予組成物、劑或物質(如,含幹細胞之溶液),目的為治癒、減輕、解除、改正、延遲發生、預防或改善該疾病或病症、該疾病或病症之症狀、該疾病或病症繼發之疾病狀態或易患該疾病或病症之傾向。“有效量”意指在治療的受試者身上能夠產生所欲的(醫療)結果之組成物、劑或物質之數量。該治療方法可單獨進行,或結合其它藥物或治療法一起進行。 Subjects that are eligible for treatment of the diseases or conditions described above can be identified using standard diagnostic techniques for a particular disease or condition. "Treatment" means administration of a composition, agent or substance (eg, a solution containing stem cells) to a subject having a disease or condition or at risk of developing the disease or condition for the purpose of healing, mitigating, relieving, Correcting, delaying, preventing or ameliorating the disease or condition, the condition of the disease or condition, the disease state secondary to the disease or condition, or the predisposition to the disease or condition. By "effective amount" is meant the amount of a composition, agent or substance that is capable of producing a desired (medical) result in a subject being treated. The method of treatment can be performed alone or in combination with other drugs or therapies.

在投予該含幹細胞之組成物至受試者之前或之後(或二者),評估從該受試者身上獲得之樣本(如,周邊血液樣本或受欲治療之疾病影響之組織樣本)中之HDAC活性。例如,可分析從樣本製得之核抽取物或HDAC蛋白中之HDAC活性。投予後HDAC活性減少(如,至少20%、30%、40%、50%、60%、70%或更高)指出,該含幹細胞之溶液具抑制受試者身上之HDAC活性之效力。HDAC活性減少亦可意指,該治療能有效的治療以上所述之病症中之一者。在投予該含幹細胞之組成物之後或一個投藥療程期間,受試者身上之HDAC位準亦可用於做治療決定,如繼續或中止治療,或決定治療頻率。用於分析HDAC活性之技術以及試劑是業界已知的。HDAC活性分析套組亦可從商業獲得。 Evaluating a sample obtained from the subject (eg, a peripheral blood sample or a tissue sample affected by the disease to be treated) before or after administration of the composition comprising the stem cell to the subject (or both) HDAC activity. For example, the HDAC activity in a nuclear extract or HDAC protein prepared from a sample can be analyzed. A decrease in HDAC activity (e.g., at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% or higher) after administration indicates that the stem cell-containing solution has an effect of inhibiting HDAC activity in a subject. A decrease in HDAC activity may also mean that the treatment is effective in treating one of the conditions described above. The HDAC level in the subject may also be used to make a treatment decision, such as continuing or discontinuing treatment, or determining the frequency of treatment, after administration of the composition comprising the stem cells or during a course of administration. Techniques and reagents for analyzing HDAC activity are known in the art. HDAC activity assay kits are also commercially available.

It is to be understood that in the light of the description, the disclosure of the invention may be All of the publications cited herein are incorporated herein by reference.

範例 example 範例1:幹細胞動員劑之作用 Example 1: The role of stem cell mobilizer

使用以上所述之程序,使用從六位受試人身上取得之周邊血液樣本,製備含幹細胞之溶液。亦可見圖1以及圖3。 A solution containing stem cells was prepared using the peripheral blood samples taken from six subjects using the procedure described above. See also Figure 1 and Figure 3.

受試人C、L、M、W以及Y各口服20粒圖2中所 述之褐藻補充物。也就是說,受試者C、L、M、W以及Y各口服至少2克的褐藻醣膠。受試人P作為對照組,沒有服用褐藻補充物。採取受試者服用該等丸劑之前以及之後之樣本。 Subjects C, L, M, W, and Y each took 20 tablets orally. Said brown algae supplement. That is, subjects C, L, M, W, and Y each took at least 2 grams of fucoidan. Subject P was used as a control group and no brown algae supplement was taken. Subjects were taken before and after taking the pills.

如圖4所示,發現在四個受試者中,服用褐藻補充物之後1.5個小時之SB細胞(即,CD349(+)SB細胞以及Lgr5(+)SB細胞)之數目顯著的增加。在對照受試者中沒有發現增加。數據顯示出,服用褐藻醣膠,如褐藻補充物,可動員SB細胞(如,CD349(+)SB細胞以及Lgr5(+)SB細胞)進入周邊血液(或血流)並使周邊血液富含SB細胞。在圖4中,0小時代表受試人C、L、M、W以及Y“服用褐藻醣膠之前”,且代表受試人P“對照組測試開始之時間點”;1.5小時代表受試人C、L、M、W以及Y“服用褐藻醣膠後1.5個小時之時間點”,且亦代表受試者P“對照組測試開始後1.5個小時之時間點”;24小時代表“受試人C、L、M、W以及Y“服用褐藻醣膠後24個小時之時間點”,且亦代表受試者P“對照組測試開始後24個小時之時間點”。 As shown in Figure 4, a significant increase in the number of SB cells (i.e., CD349(+) SB cells and Lgr5(+) SB cells) 1.5 hours after taking the brown algae supplement was found in the four subjects. No increase was found in the control subjects. The data show that taking fucoidan, such as brown algae supplements, mobilizes SB cells (eg, CD349(+)SB cells and Lgr5(+)SB cells) into peripheral blood (or bloodstream) and enriches peripheral blood with SB cell. In Fig. 4, 0 hours represents the subjects C, L, M, W, and Y "before taking fucoidan", and represents the subject P "time point of the start of the control test"; 1.5 hours represents the subject C, L, M, W, and Y "1.5 hours after taking fucoidan", and also represents the subject P "1.5 hours after the start of the control group test"; 24 hours means "tested People C, L, M, W, and Y "24 hours after taking fucoidan", and also represent the subject "P 24 hours after the start of the control group test."

亦評估GCSF在SB細胞之動員上的影響。連續5天,在受試人身上注射單劑5微克/kg/天之GCSF。在第一次注射之前,從受試者身上取得第一周邊血液樣本,而在最後注射之後3.5個小時,從受試者身上取得第二周邊血液樣本。相較於第一樣本,在第二樣本中發現Lgr5+ SB細胞之數目顯著的增加。 The effect of GCSF on mobilization of SB cells was also assessed. A single dose of 5 μg/kg/day of GCSF was injected into the subject for 5 consecutive days. A first peripheral blood sample is taken from the subject prior to the first injection, and a second peripheral blood sample is taken from the subject 3.5 hours after the last injection. A significant increase in the number of Lgr5+ SB cells was found in the second sample compared to the first sample.

二個樣本之流動式細胞測量術數據示於圖5A以 及5B中。在二個圖式中,區域Q5-LR中之黑點代表Lgr5(+)細胞。在第一周邊血液樣本方面,如圖5A所示,區域Q5-LR中Lgr5(+)細胞之數目為區域Q5-UL、Q5-UR、Q5-LL以及Q5-LR中細胞總數目之1.6%。在第二周邊血液樣本方面,如圖5B所示,區域Q5-LR中Lgr5(+)細胞之數目為區域Q5-UL、Q5-UR、Q5-LL以及Q5-LR中細胞總數目之8%。因此,GCSF可動員SB細胞(特別是Lgr5(+)細胞)進入周邊血液(或血流),以及使周邊血液富含SB細胞。 The flow cytometry data for the two samples is shown in Figure 5A. And 5B. In both figures, the black dots in the region Q5-LR represent Lgr5(+) cells. In terms of the first peripheral blood sample, as shown in Fig. 5A, the number of Lgr5(+) cells in the region Q5-LR is 1.6% of the total number of cells in the regions Q5-UL, Q5-UR, Q5-LL, and Q5-LR. .
