Description

用於修復軟骨缺陷的組合物Composition for repairing cartilage defects

本發明關於一種用於修復軟骨缺陷的組合物。The invention relates to a composition for repairing cartilage defects.

運用自體軟骨細胞之組織工程已嶄露成為一種前景看好的軟骨再生方法。然而,有許多關於運用自體軟骨細胞的擔憂包含於採獲位置處造成傷害以及它們在單層擴張期間會有失去表現型的固有傾向。間質幹細胞 (Mesenchymal stem cells;MSCs)係經考慮的選擇細胞類型,因為它們具有可以一單一步驟程序分化成軟骨細胞的能力,而無須一生檢/培養期及分階再植入手術 (Fang HW, Biomed Eng 21:149–155 (2009))。由MSCs進行軟骨再生要成功的一個關鍵係正確調制細胞,使其分化至成軟骨路徑中並表現正常軟骨胞外基質 (ECM)。此外,ECM經認定會顯著參與引導MSCs分化程序 (Quesenberry PJet al. , 1 Stem Cells 16 (Suppl 1): 33–35 (1998); Philp Det al ., Stem Cells 23:288–296 (2005))。Tissue engineering using autologous chondrocytes has emerged as a promising method for cartilage regeneration. However, there are many concerns about the use of autologous chondrocytes, including the damage they cause at the harvest site and their inherent tendency to lose phenotype during monolayer expansion. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered to be selected cell types because they have the ability to differentiate into chondrocytes in a single step procedure without the need for a biopsy / culture period and staged reimplantation (Fang HW , Biomed Eng 21: 149–155 (2009)). A key to the success of cartilage regeneration by MSCs is to properly modulate cells to differentiate into the cartilage-forming pathway and to display normal cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). In addition, ECM has been identified as significantly involved in guiding the differentiation process of MSCs (Quesenberry PJ et al. , 1 Stem Cells 16 (Suppl 1): 33–35 (1998); Philp D et al ., Stem Cells 23: 288–296 (2005 )).

最近,與自體軟骨細胞植入 (Autologous chondrocyte implantation;ACI) 相關的軟骨修復產品已經積極推銷至許多國家,以創造更多的生意。他們在優良組織操作 (Good Tissue Practice;GTP) 實驗室提供由一小軟骨生檢組織培養及擴張軟骨細胞的商業服務。然而,卻需要兩次手術且仍具有某些限制 (Buda Ret al. , Int Orthop. 2015 May;39(5):893-900; Pestka JMet al. , Am J Sports Med. 2014 Jan;42(1):208-15)。Recently, cartilage repair products related to Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) have been actively marketed in many countries to create more business. They provide commercial services from a small cartilage biopsy tissue culture and expansion of chondrocytes in a Good Tissue Practice (GTP) laboratory. However, it requires two surgeries and still has certain limitations (Buda R et al. , Int Orthop. 2015 May; 39 (5): 893-900; Pestka JM et al. , Am J Sports Med. 2014 Jan; 42 (1): 208-15).

另一方面,若干已知已細胞為基礎的組合物需要一有效載體或封閉劑以固定至缺陷位置上。為求軟骨修復成功,移植物具備充足的初始機械穩定度係屬至高重要的 (Efe Tet al. , Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2012 Feb;20(2):210-5)。移植物必須在早期術後階段期間能承受得住關節活動期間活體內的力。必須有合適的固定以使移植物保持在缺陷區域並達到最佳的關節表面一致性。一般來說,在軟骨缺陷上會縫合一骨膜補片或膠原蛋白纖維網以避免細胞或載體/封閉劑的損失 (Slynarski Ket al. , Transplant Proc. 2006 Jan-Feb;38(1):318-9;Stone KRet al. , Arthroscopy. 2006 Mar;22(3):291-9;以及Christoph Erggeletet al. , Arch Orthop Trauma Surg, DOI 10.1007/s00402-009-0957-y (2009))。這也許會增加外科醫師的負擔並造成若干問題,如骨膜肥大 (Kreuzet al. , Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2007 Dec;15(12):1339-47;Henderson Iet al ., Arthroscopy. 2006 Dec;22(12):1318-1324)。On the other hand, several known cell-based compositions require an effective carrier or blocking agent to fix to the defect site. For successful cartilage repair, it is of paramount importance that the graft has sufficient initial mechanical stability (Efe T et al. , Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2012 Feb; 20 (2): 210-5). The graft must be able to withstand the forces in the living body during joint movements during the early postoperative period. There must be proper fixation to keep the graft in the defect area and to achieve the best joint surface consistency. Generally, a periosteum patch or collagen fiber network is sutured over a cartilage defect to avoid the loss of cells or carriers / blockers (Slynarski K et al. , Transplant Proc. 2006 Jan-Feb; 38 (1): 318 -9; Stone KR et al. , Arthroscopy. 2006 Mar; 22 (3): 291-9; and Christoph Erggelet et al. , Arch Orthop Trauma Surg, DOI 10.1007 / s00402-009-0957-y (2009)). This may increase the burden on surgeons and cause problems such as periosteal hypertrophy (Kreuz et al. , Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2007 Dec; 15 (12): 1339-47; Henderson I et al ., Arthroscopy. 2006 Dec; 22 ( 12): 1318-1324).

鑑於上述,仍然需要改善用於修復軟骨缺陷的組合物。In view of the foregoing, there remains a need for improved compositions for repairing cartilage defects.

在本發明中係非預期性地發現,一種包含骨髓濃縮物、軟骨碎片以及滑液膜的組合物在修復軟骨缺陷上展現極佳的特性。此外,非預期性地發現,施加在本發明之組合物上的纖維蛋白膠表現極佳的黏合性且不會如通常用於軟骨缺陷位置上隨時間而消散或損失,如此便不需要透過縫合骨膜或合成膜來覆蓋,填充有用於修復的以細胞為基礎的組合物的軟骨缺陷,此慣常的步驟。It was unexpectedly discovered in the present invention that a composition comprising bone marrow concentrate, cartilage fragments, and a synovial membrane exhibits excellent properties in repairing cartilage defects. In addition, it was unexpectedly found that the fibrin glue applied to the composition of the present invention exhibits excellent adhesion and does not dissipate or lose over time as is commonly used in cartilage defect sites, so that there is no need to go through sutures Periosteum or synthetic membranes are covered, filled with cartilage defects of cell-based composition for repair, this customary procedure.

因此,在一方面,本發明提供一種用於修復軟骨缺陷的組合物,其包含一骨髓濃縮物、一軟骨碎片或粉末、以及滑液膜。本發明之組合物可與一纖維蛋白膠組合使用。本發明之組合物使得新的一階段導向的軟骨修復手術成為可能,而無須細胞培養之GTP實驗室及製造新支架之GMP工廠。此可降低臨床可實行性的門檻並使從實驗室到臨床的表現獲益。Therefore, in one aspect, the present invention provides a composition for repairing a cartilage defect, which comprises a bone marrow concentrate, a cartilage fragment or powder, and a synovial membrane. The composition of the present invention can be used in combination with a fibrin glue. The composition of the present invention makes possible a new stage-oriented cartilage repair operation without the need for a GTP laboratory for cell culture and a GMP factory for manufacturing new scaffolds. This can lower the threshold of clinical feasibility and benefit from laboratory to clinical performance.

Use a scalpel to chop the tissue into small pieces. Cartilage fragments of approximately 1-2 mm x 2-3 mm were washed in DPBS and centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5-10 minutes to collect.

4. 滑液膜碎片之製備4. Preparation of synovial membrane fragments

滑液膜從豬的膝關節獲取並以DPBS溶液清洗。以手術刀將組織剁碎成小碎片。尺寸大約2毫米 x 3毫米的滑液膜碎片以DPBS清洗並進行5-10分鐘的1,500 rpm離心來收集。Synovial membranes were obtained from the knee joints of pigs and washed with DPBS solution. Use a scalpel to chop the tissue into small pieces. Synovial membrane fragments of approximately 2 mm x 3 mm were washed in DPBS and centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5-10 minutes to collect.

5. 用於修復軟骨缺陷的組合物之製備5. Preparation of a composition for repairing cartilage defects

(1) BMC-軟骨碎片-滑液膜組合物(1) BMC-cartilage fragments-synovial membrane composition

將含有1-10 x 105 個細胞之骨髓濃縮物懸浮液及包含30-60毫克軟骨碎片及30-60毫克滑液膜之組織碎片混合在一起。離心之後,丟棄上層澄清液,並獲得BMC-軟骨碎片-滑液膜混合物。進一步 將該混合物在48孔培養盤上埋入於含有纖維蛋白原及凝血酶之0.2毫升TISSEEL溶液中以形成一生物構築體。所形成之構築體係轉移至24孔培養盤中並在含有10% FBS之α-MEM中培養。製備其他沒有組織碎片且沒有骨髓濃縮物的類似構築體供比較。Containing 1-10 x 10 5 cells of bone marrow suspension concentrates and tissue fragments comprising 30-60 mg fragments of cartilage and synovial membrane of 30-60 mg were mixed together. After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded and a BMC-cartilage fragment-synovial membrane mixture was obtained. This mixture was further embedded in a 48-well culture plate in 0.2 ml of TISSEEL solution containing fibrinogen and thrombin to form a biological construct. The resulting building system was transferred to a 24-well culture plate and cultured in α-MEM containing 10% FBS. Other similar constructs were prepared without tissue debris and without bone marrow concentrate for comparison.

(2) BM-MSCs-軟骨碎片-滑液膜組合物 (供比較用)(2) BM-MSCs-cartilage fragments-synovial membrane composition (for comparison)

簡言之,BM-MSCs係經一系列的的胰蛋白酶作用。將含有1-10 x 104 個幹細胞之細胞懸浮液及包含30-60毫克軟骨碎片及30-60毫克滑液膜之組織碎片混合在一起。離心之後,丟棄上層澄清液,並獲得BM-MSCs-軟骨碎片-滑液膜混合物。進一步將該混合物在48孔培養盤上埋入於含有纖維蛋白原及凝血酶之0.2毫升TISSEEL溶液中以形成生物構築體。所形成之構築體係轉移至24孔培養盤中並在含有10% FBS之α-MEM中培養。製備其他具有不同BM-MSC數目的類似構築體供比較。In short, BM-MSCs undergo a series of trypsin actions.

After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded, and a BM-MSCs-cartilage fragment-synovial membrane mixture was obtained. This mixture was further embedded in a 48-well culture plate in 0.2 ml of TISSEEL solution containing fibrinogen and thrombin to form a biological construct. The resulting building system was transferred to a 24-well culture plate and cultured in α-MEM containing 10% FBS. Other similar constructs with different numbers of BM-MSC were prepared for comparison.

6. 基因表現上之RT-PCR分析6. RT-PCR analysis of gene expression

使用Trizol純化系統 (Invitrogen)依製造商的建議來分離全RNA。全RNA之反轉錄 (RT) 至單股cDNA係使用高容量cDNA RT套組 (Applied Biosystems)來完成。基因表現係使用ABI SteponePlusTM 即時PCR系統 (Applied Biosystems) 來分析。TaqMan® 探針係購自Applied Biosystems,其包括甘油醛-3-磷酸脫氫酶 (Hs99999905_m1)、軟骨可聚蛋白多糖 (Hs00153936_m1)、SOX9 (Hs00165814_m1)、第I型膠原蛋白 (Hs00164004_m1)、第II型膠原蛋白 (Hs00156568_m1)、及第X型膠原蛋白(Hs00166657_m1)。數據資料係估計為在構築體中細胞的mRNA量。週期閾值 (Ct) 係獲自每個樣本,並求取三次重複獲得之樣本值的平均。2- ΔΔ Ct 方法係用以計算每一目標基因的相對表現。Total RNA was isolated using the Trizol purification system (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Full RNA reverse transcription (RT) to single-stranded cDNA lines were performed using high-capacity cDNA RT kits (Applied Biosystems). Gene expression was analyzed using the ABI SteponePlus (TM) Instant PCR System (Applied Biosystems). TaqMan ® probes were purchased from Applied Biosystems and include glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Hs99999905_m1), cartilage polymerizable proteoglycan (Hs00153936_m1), SOX9 (Hs00165814_m1), type I collagen (Hs00164004_m1), type II Type collagen (Hs00156568_m1) and type X collagen (Hs00166657_m1). The data is estimated as the amount of mRNA in the cells in the construct. The cycle threshold (Ct) is obtained from each sample and the average of the sample values obtained from three replicates is calculated. The 2 - ΔΔ Ct method is used to calculate the relative performance of each target gene.

7. 結果7. Results

以下組別之培養物在第II型膠原蛋白之基因表現上係經RT-PCR分析,且結果係顯示於圖式中:(A1) BMC (5 x 105 ) ( 1A );(A2) 軟骨-滑液膜 (圖1B );(A3) BMC (5 x105 )-軟骨-滑液膜 ( 1C );(B1) BM-MSCs (5 x 105 )-軟骨-滑液膜 ( 1F );以及 (B2) BM-MSCs (5 x 104 )-軟骨-滑液膜 ( 1G )。 1D 顯示組別A3之結果相對於組別A1之結果的比較,以及 1E 顯示組別A3之結果相對於組別A2之結果的比較。The following groups were cultured in the gene expression of type II collagen-based proteins by RT-PCR analysis, and the results are shown in line drawings: (A1) BMC (5 x 10 5) ( FIG. 1A); (A2) cartilage - synovial membrane (FIG. 1B); (A3) BMC ( 5 x10 5) - cartilage - synovial membrane (FIG. 1C); (B1) BM- MSCs (5 x 10 5) - cartilage - synovial membrane (FIG. 1F); and (B2) BM-MSCs (5 x 10 4) - cartilage - synovial membrane (FIG. 1G). FIG. 1D shows a comparison of the result of group A3 with respect to the result of group A1, and FIG. 1E shows a comparison of the result of group A3 with respect to the result of group A2.

組別A3 (根據本發明之組合物) 相較於組別A1 (只有BMC) 及A2 (只有軟骨-滑液膜),顯示第II型膠原蛋白表現隨培養時間有較多的增加 (直到6個星期) (參見 1A-1E )。同時在使用BM-MSCs而非BMC之組別B1及B2的情況中,第II型膠原蛋白表現則並未隨培養時間而有顯著增加。Group A3 (composition according to the invention) showed a greater increase in type II collagen performance with culture time compared to groups A1 (only BMC) and A2 (only cartilage-synovial membrane) (up to 6 Weeks) (see Figures 1A-1E ). At the same time, in the case of using BM-MSCs instead of BMC in groups B1 and B2, the performance of type II collagen did not increase significantly with the culture time.

第II型膠原蛋白在關節軟骨 (或透明軟骨) 之細胞外基質 (ECM) 中的膠原蛋白中佔90%至95%,並因此被認為對成功的軟骨缺陷修復中是關鍵性的。Type II collagen accounts for 90% to 95% of the collagen in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of articular cartilage (or hyaline cartilage) and is therefore considered critical for successful cartilage defect repair.

豬的骨髓濃縮物係利用蔗糖梯度進行快速分離。簡言之,10毫升豬的骨髓係藉由注射器從脛骨抽取。加入至50毫升圓錐管中的17.5%蔗糖梯度 (15毫升) 中的經過濾之骨髓 (10毫升),進行5分鐘的1,500 rpm離心一次。分餾層中的骨髓濃縮物隨後係透過5-10分鐘的1,500 rpm離心萃取出。沉澱物係分散至1毫升DPBS中,以便藉由自動細胞計數器來計算總細胞數。The pig's bone marrow concentrate was quickly separated using a sucrose gradient. Briefly, the bone marrow of a 10 ml pig was drawn from the tibia by a syringe. Filtered bone marrow (10 ml) was added to a 17.5% sucrose gradient (15 ml) in a 50 ml conical tube and centrifuged once at 1,500 rpm for 5 minutes. The bone marrow concentrate in the fractionation layer was then extracted by centrifugation at 1,500 rpm for 5-10 minutes. The pellet was dispersed in 1 ml of DPBS to calculate the total number of cells by an automatic cell counter.

2. 軟骨組織碎片之製備2. Preparation of cartilage tissue fragments

軟骨組織從豬的膝關節獲取並以DPBS溶液清洗。以手術刀將組織剁碎成小碎片。尺寸大約1-2毫米 x 2-3毫米的軟骨碎片以DPBS清洗並進行5-10分鐘的1,500 rpm離心來收集。Cartilage tissue was obtained from the knee joints of pigs and washed with DPBS solution. Use a scalpel to chop the tissue into small pieces. Cartilage fragments of approximately 1-2 mm x 2-3 mm were washed in DPBS and centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5-10 minutes to collect.

3. 滑液膜碎片之製備3. Preparation of synovial membrane fragments

滑液膜從豬的膝關節獲取並以DPBS溶液清洗。以手術刀將組織剁碎成小碎片。尺寸大約2毫米 x 3毫米的滑液膜碎片以DPBS清洗並進行5-10分鐘的1,500 rpm離心來收集。Synovial membranes were obtained from the knee joints of pigs and washed with DPBS solution. Use a scalpel to chop the tissue into small pieces. Synovial membrane fragments of approximately 2 mm x 3 mm were washed in DPBS and centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5-10 minutes to collect.

4. 活體內動物模型Animal model in vivo

在本研究中所採用的是小型豬。所有的豬隻在進行手術時都已經性成熟。所有的操作及介入均在全身麻醉下執行。在兩膝關節之內側髁中製成全厚度的缺陷 (參見 2A ),其中兩者之一接受包含骨髓濃縮物、60毫克軟骨碎片及60毫克滑液膜之組合物,以及隨後的Tisseel溶液 (纖維蛋白膠) (0.2-0.4 毫升) 以固定;以及另一者接受微斷裂處理以作為對照組。缺陷的直徑為8毫米且深度為1毫米。Mini pigs were used in this study. All pigs were sexually mature at the time of surgery. All procedures and interventions were performed under general anesthesia. A full-thickness defect was made in the medial condyle of both knees (see Figure 2A ), one of which received a composition containing bone marrow concentrate, 60 mg of cartilage fragments and 60 mg of synovial membrane, and subsequent Tisseel solution (Fibrin glue) (0.2-0.4 ml) to be fixed; and the other received a micro-fracture treatment as a control group. The defect has a diameter of 8 mm and a depth of 1 mm.

5. 結果5. Results

觀察到的是,在施加至組合物上之後,纖維蛋白膠表現高度黏合性,且纖維蛋白膠以及組合物可保持在缺陷位置處,而不會四處流散,儘管從缺陷位置處有出血的情況,並因此不需要骨膜移植或骨膜縫合以便使組合物固定在位置上。相反地,已知的組合物會從缺陷位置處流走,並需要在手術時進行骨膜縫合 (或其他膜縫合)。參見 2B2CIt was observed that after application to the composition, the fibrin glue exhibited a high degree of adhesion, and the fibrin glue and the composition could remain at the defect site without being scattered around, despite bleeding from the defect site And therefore does not require a periosteal graft or periosteal suture to hold the composition in place. In contrast, known compositions flow away from the defect site and require periosteal suture (or other membrane suture) during surgery. See Figures 2B and 2C .

在從手術復原的階段裡,允許動物自由活動。手術之後,豬隻行走緩慢且不會久站,除了進食的時候之外。牠們趴在地板上休息。這樣類型的行為持續了幾天,而在這段時間過後豬隻們的行為便回歸往常。移植後六個月觀察到良好的軟骨缺陷修復 ( 2D )。Animals are allowed to move freely during the recovery phase from surgery. After the operation, the pigs walk slowly and will not stand for long, except when eating. They lie on the floor and rest. This type of behavior lasted for a few days, after which the pigs' behavior returned to normal. Good repair of cartilage defects was observed six months after transplantation ( Figure 2D ).
