This application claims the benefits of US Provisional Application No. 63/198,706, filed Nov. 6, 2020, and US Provisional Application Ser. 63/013,865, filed Apr. 22, 2020, applications which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
I. BACKGROUND
There are currently no effective biological treatments for coronaviruses, especially for COVID-19. Commercially available products do not act simultaneously and synergistically to directly affect viral infection and/or replication, nor to regulate downstream inflammation and vascular cell-related pathologies in response to viral infection. Therefore, what is needed is a method and composition for the intravenous or pulmonary delivery of autogenous or allogeneic MSC-derived growth factors and exosomes, wherein the products are acellular and useful for the treatment of various viruses, while simultaneously avoiding the potential negative long-term-permanent effects associated with the introduction of cellular living MSCs into the recipient.

IV. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Before these compounds, compositions, articles, devices and/or methods are disclosed and described, it should be understood that they are not limited to specific synthetic methods or specific recombinant biotechnology methods unless otherwise specified, or to specific reagents unless otherwise specified. , as such can, of course, vary. It should also be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting.
A. Definitions
As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to a "pharmaceutical carrier" includes mixtures of two or more such carriers, and the like.
Ranges may be expressed herein as from "about" one particular value and/or to "about" another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from one particular value and/or to another particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, the use of the antecedent "about" will imply that the particular value constitutes another realization. It will further be understood that the endpoints of each range are significant both relative to the other endpoint and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a range of values disclosed herein and that each value is also disclosed herein as being "about" that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value "10" is published, then "about 10" is also published. It is also understood that when a value is detected that is "less than or equal to" a value, "greater than or equal to" and possible ranges between values are also detected, as appropriately understood by one skilled in the art. For example, if the value "10" is published, "less than or equal to 10" as well as "greater than or equal to 10" are also published. It is also understood that throughout the application, data is provided in a variety of different formats and that these data represent end points, start points, and ranges for any combination of data points. For example, if a certain data point "10" and a certain data point 15 are detected, it is understood that greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, and equal to 10 and 15 are detected as well as between 10 and 15. It is also understood that each unit between two specified units is also disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are published, then 11, 12, 13 and 14 are also published.
The term "subject" is defined herein to include animals such as mammals, including but not limited to primates (eg, humans), cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, and As. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.
"Administration" to a subject includes any route of introduction or delivery of an agent to the subject. Administration may be by any suitable route, including oral, topical, intravenous, subcutaneous, transcutaneous, transdermal, intramuscular, intraarticular, parenteral, intraarteriolar, intraarticular, intradermal, intraventricular, intracranial, intraperitoneal, intralesional, intranasal, rectal, vaginal, inhalation, via an implanted container, parenterally (eg subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intraperitoneal, intrahepatic, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques) and the like. "Simultaneous administration", "administration in combination", "simultaneous administration" or "administered simultaneously" as used herein means that the compounds are administered at the same point in time or essentially immediately after each other. In the latter case, the two compounds are given at times close enough that the observed results do not differ from those obtained when the compounds are given at the same time point. "Systemic administration" refers to the introduction or delivery of an agent to a subject by a route by which the agent is introduced or delivered to large areas of the subject's body (eg, greater than 50% of the body), for example through entry into the circulation or lymphatic systems. In contrast, "local administration" refers to the introduction or delivery of an agent to a subject by a route that introduces or delivers the agent to an area or area immediately adjacent to the point of administration and does not introduce the agent systemically in a therapeutically significant amount. For example, topically applied agents are readily detectable in the local vicinity of the site of administration, but are undetectable or detectable in negligible amounts in distal parts of the subject's body. Management includes self-management and management by others.
"Biocompatible" generally refers to a material and any of its metabolites or breakdown products that are generally non-toxic to the recipient and do not cause significant adverse effects to the subject.
"Contains" means that the compositions, methods, etc. include the specified elements, but do not exclude others. "Consisting principally of" when used to define compositions and methods, means including the specified elements but excluding other elements of any essential importance to the combination. Accordingly, a composition consisting mainly of elements as defined herein would not exclude trace contaminants from the isolation and purification method and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as phosphate buffered saline, preservatives and the like. "Consists of" means the exclusion of more than trace elements of other ingredients and significant steps of the method for providing the compositions of this invention. Embodiments defined by each of these transitional terms are within the scope of this invention.
A "control" is an alternate subject or sample used in an experiment for comparison purposes. Control can be "positive" or "negative".
An "effective amount" of an agent refers to a sufficient amount of the agent to achieve the desired effect. The amount of agent that is "effective" will vary from subject to subject, depending on many factors such as the age and general condition of the subject, the particular agent or agents, and the like. Therefore, it is not always possible to determine a quantified "effective amount". However, an appropriate "effective amount" in any given case can be determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art using routine experimentation. Also, as used herein, and unless otherwise noted, an "effective amount" of an agent may also refer to an amount that encompasses both therapeutically effective amounts and prophylactically effective amounts. The "effective amount" of an agent required to achieve a therapeutic effect may vary according to factors such as the age, sex, and weight of the subject. Dosage regimens can be adjusted to achieve an optimal therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses can be administered daily, or the dose can be proportionally reduced according to the requirements of the therapeutic situation.
"Decrease" can refer to any change that results in less gene expression, protein production, amount of symptoms, disease, composition, condition, or activity. A substance is also considered to reduce the genetic effect of a gene when the genetic effect of the gene product with the substance is less than the effect of the gene product without the substance. Also, for example, a reduction may be a change in the symptoms of a disorder such that the symptoms are less than previously observed. The reduction can be any single, medium or average reduction of the condition, symptoms, activity, composition in a statistically significant amount. So the decrease can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 , 80, 85, 90, 95 or 100% reduction as long as the reduction is statistically significant.
"Inhibit", "inhibit" and "inhibition" means to reduce an activity, response, condition, disease or other biological parameter. This may include, but is not limited to, complete ablation of an activity, response, condition or disease. This may also include, for example, a 10% reduction in activity, response, condition or disease compared to natural or control levels. Thus, the reduction may be 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100%, or any amount of reduction in between compared to natural or control levels.
"Treatment", "treatment", "treatment" and their grammatical variations as used herein include the administration of a composition with the intention or purpose of partially or completely preventing, delaying, treating, healing, alleviating, alleviating, altering, repairing, ameliorating, stabilizing, alleviating and/or reducing the intensity or frequency of one or more diseases or conditions, symptoms of a disease, disorder, injury or condition, or the underlying cause of a disease or condition. Treatments according to the invention can be applied preventively, prophylactically, palliatively or curatively. Prophylactic treatments are administered to a subject before the onset (eg, before obvious signs of cancer), during early onset (eg, after initial signs and symptoms of cancer), or after established cancer development. Prophylactic administration can occur day(s) to a year before the onset of symptoms of infection.
The terms "prevent", "prevent", "prevent" and their grammatical variations as used herein refer to a method of partially or completely delaying or preventing the onset or recurrence of a disease and/or one or more associated symptoms or prohibiting a subject from acquiring or get the disease again or reduce the subject's risk of acquiring or re-acquiring the disease or one or more associated symptoms.
"Pharmaceutically acceptable" component may refer to a component that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable, ie. component can be incorporated into a pharmaceutical formulation of the invention and administered to a subject as described herein without causing significant adverse biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any other component of the formulation in which it is contained. When used in relation to administration to humans, the term generally implies that the component has met the required standards of toxicology and manufacturing testing or is included in the Guide to Inactive Ingredients prepared by the US Food and Drug Administration.
"Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" (sometimes referred to as "carrier") means a carrier or excipient useful in the preparation of a pharmaceutical or therapeutic composition that is generally safe and nontoxic and includes a carrier that is acceptable for veterinary and/or human pharmaceutical or therapeutic use. The terms "carrier" or "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" may include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffered saline, water, emulsions (such as oil/water or water/oil emulsion), and/or various types of wetting agents. As used herein, the term "carrier" includes, but is not limited to, any excipient, diluent, filler, salt, buffer, stabilizer, solubilizer, lipid, stabilizer, or other material well known in the art for use in pharmaceutical formulations and as further described here.
"Pharmacologically active" (or simply "active"), as in "pharmacologically active" derivative or analog, can refer to a derivative or analog (eg, salt, ester, amide, conjugate, metabolite, isomer, fragment, etc.) that has the same type of pharmacological activity as the parent compound and approximately the same degree.
"Therapeutic agent" refers to any composition that has a beneficial biological effect. Useful biological effects include therapeutic effects, e.g. treatment of disorders or other undesirable physiological conditions, and prophylactic effects, e.g. prevention of disorders or other undesirable physiological conditions (eg non-immunogenic cancer). The terms also include pharmaceutically acceptable, pharmacologically active derivatives of the beneficial agents specifically mentioned herein, including, but not limited to, salts, esters, amides, proagents, active metabolites, isomers, fragments, analogs, and the like. When the terms "therapeutic agent" are used, or when a specific agent is specifically identified, it is understood that the term includes the agent per se as well as pharmaceutically acceptable, pharmacologically active salts, esters, amides, proagents, conjugates, active metabolites, isomers, fragments, analogs etc.
A "therapeutically effective amount" or "therapeutically effective dose" of a composition (eg, a composition containing an agent) refers to an amount effective to achieve a desired therapeutic result. In some embodiments, the desired therapeutic result is the control of type I diabetes. In some embodiments, the desired therapeutic result is the control of obesity. Therapeutically effective amounts of a given therapeutic agent will typically vary with respect to factors such as the type and severity of the disorder or disease being treated and the age, sex, and weight of the subject. The term may also refer to an amount of therapeutic agent, or rate of delivery of a therapeutic agent (eg, amount over time), that is effective to achieve a desired therapeutic effect, such as alleviation of pain (ie, nociception). The precise desired therapeutic effect will vary depending on the condition being treated, the tolerance of the subject, the agent and/or formulation of the agent being administered (eg, the strength of the therapeutic agent, the concentration of the agent in the formulation, and the like), and a number of other factors that are appreciated by those skilled in the art. common in this field of technology. In some cases, the desired biological or medical response is achieved after administration of multiple doses of the composition to a subject over a period of days, weeks or years.
In this specification and in the requirements that follow, reference will be made to a number of terms which will be defined to have the following meanings:
"Optional" or "optional" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances in which said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not.

Currently, COVID-19 is sweeping the world. It has been widely reported that children are less likely to become seriously ill and die from COVID-19. A recent study of 44,672 people with confirmed COVID-19 infection found that children under the age of 10 accounted for less than 1 percent of those cases and none of the 1,023 deaths. A direct explanation would be that children resist the infection at all, but this does not seem to be the case. Children are just as likely to get infected as adults. So what is child protection? Experts suspect that this may be due to the unique way in which children's immune systems react to these viruses.
A common complication of COVID-19, SARS and MERS in adults is when the immune response against the coronavirus becomes excessive and causes life-threatening lung damage. The resulting leakage of fluid and immune cells into the lungs can result in the life-threatening problems of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Even if those immune responses try to help by attacking the virus, they can end up blocking the supply of oxygen to the lungs. Because children's immune systems are still developing, one suggestion is that they are protected from this type of dangerous immune response, called a cytokine storm, when they get COVID-19 or similar illnesses.
Injury to airway epithelial cells is also important in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Damaged lung epithelial cells are a source of inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, TNF-α, GM-CSF and CXCL-8, which can act in both an autocrine and paracrine manner. IL-6 induces airway cell remodeling by regulating and stimulating myofibroblast differentiation, which is the main cause of fibrosis development during airway remodeling. The paracrine activity of these mediators is mediated, at least in part, by inflammatory exosomes.
Acute inflammation is a key pathological feature of the COVID-19 process. For example, cytokines produced by natural killer cells, mast cells, macrophages, and monocytes at the site of inflammation play a key role in the development of the COVID-19 cytokine storm that results in ARDS. Proinflammatory biomarkers, such as cytokines, have been found in chronic and acute lung disease states, suggesting a direct or facilitating role in the pathology. During the inflammatory reaction, more cytokines are produced. Cytokines contribute to inflammatory processes by activating specific signal transduction mechanisms, as well as by activating other types of cells. Cytokines are found extracellularly (in the blood) and in interstitial compartments, where they can activate cells in an autocrine/paracrine manner. Increased cytokine levels are hypothesized to influence and contribute to respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 by increasing nociceptor sensitization. When tissue is attacked or destroyed by pulmonary leukocytes during an inflammatory episode, several mediators such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-8, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) migrate to the site. Also included in these mediators are nerve growth factor and prostaglandins. All this results in pneumonia.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted much attention due to their ability to regulate inflammatory processes. In many types of lung trauma, inflammatory conditions at the site of injury interfere with the natural processes of recovery by local progenitor and mature cells. MSCs help through paracrine mechanisms and modulate the regenerative environment through anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory mechanisms. In response to inflammatory molecules such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-2, II-6, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) and interferon-gamma (INF-γ), MSCs they secrete a variety of growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins with complex feedback mechanisms among many types of immune cells. Key immunomodulatory cytokines include prostaglandin 2, TGF-β1, HGF, SDF-1, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, IL-4, IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist, and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-a. MSCs prevent the proliferation and dysfunction of many inflammatory immune cells, including T cells, natural killer cells, B cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
The primary trophic property of MSCs is the secretion of growth factors and exosomes to stimulate cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Exosomes express mitogenic proteins such as transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α), TGF-β, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), epithelial growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2), and insulin-like factor growth factor -1 (IGF-1). They increase the division of fibroblasts, epithelial and endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), IGF-1, EGF, and angiopoietin-1 are released to recruit cells of the endothelial lineage and initiate vascularization.
MSCs help through paracrine mechanisms and modulate the regenerative environment through anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory mechanisms. In response to inflammatory molecules such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-2, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-gamma (INF-γ), MSCs they secrete a variety of growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins with complex feedback mechanisms among many types of immune cells. Key immunomodulatory cytokines include prostaglandin 2, TGF-β1, HGF, SDF-1, nitric oxide, indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase, IL-4, IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist, and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-α. MSCs inhibit the proliferation and function of many inflammatory immune cells, including T-cells, natural killer cells, B-cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Although MSCs of all species are capable of regulating T-cell activity, the mechanisms are not identical among mammalian species.
A characteristic of chronically inflamed environments is a constant imbalance in the types of helper T-cells and macrophages. MSC exosomes indirectly promote the transition of TH1 to TH2 cells by decreasing INF-γ and increasing IL-4 and IL-10. It has been proven that the restored TH1/TH2 balance improves tissue regeneration in cartilage, muscle and other soft tissue injuries, alleviates the symptoms of autoimmune diseases and has an anti-diabetic effect. Similarly, reduction of INF-γ and secretion of IL-4 promotes a shift in macrophages from the M1 (pro-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and tissue growth inhibiting) type to M2 (anti-inflammatory, pro-remodeling and tissue healing), an effect required for skeletal, muscle and neural healing and regeneration.

In some embodiments, the composition contains one or more biomolecules that can selectively bind to a microbial antigen (such as a viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic antigen), block its function, and/or enzymatically process the protein so that it is detected by the host's immune system and then activates the virus's immune response to disable the virus's ability to infect cells. For example, the biomolecule can bind to a viral antigen from a virus selected from the group consisting of Herpes Simplex virus-1 (such as, for example, glycoprotein D and/or glycoprotein G), Herpes Simplex virus-2 (such as, on for example, glycoprotein D and/or glycoprotein G), Varicella-Zoster virus (such as, for example, glycoprotein E), Epstein-Barr virus (such as, for example, EBV glycoprotein), cytomegalovirus (such as, on e.g., CMV glycoprotein), human herpes virus-6, Variola virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus (including but not limited to hepatitis B virus surface antigen), hepatitis C virus (such as, on example, hepatitis C E1, E2 or E3 proteins), hepatitis D virus, hepatitis E virus, rhinovirus, coronavirus (including but not limited to spike or coat proteins from avian coronavirus (IBV), porcine coronavirus HKU15 (PorCoV HKU15 ), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-NL63, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 (including but not limited to variant B1.351, variant B .1.1.7 , and P.1 variant), or MERS-CoV), influenza A virus (such as, for example, hemagglutinin (HA) protein including HA1 and HA2 protein and including trimeric HA), influenza B virus (such as which is, for example, hemagglutinin (HA) protein including HA1 and HA2 proteins and including trimeric HA), measles virus (such as, for example, hemagglutinin protein), polyomavirus, human papillomavirus, respiratory syncytial virus (such as, for example, RSV G protein) , Adenovirus, Coxsackie virus, Dengue virus (such as, for example, capsid protein, envelope protein and/or premembrane/membrane protein), mumps virus, poliovirus, rabies virus (including but not limited to rabies glycoprotein), Rous sarcoma virus, reovirus, yellow fever virus, Zika virus (such as capsid protein, envelope protein and/or premembrane/membrane protein), Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Lassa virus, Eastern equine encephalitis virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, St. Louisa virus, Murray Valley fever virus, West Nile virus, Rift Valley fever virus, Rotavirus A (including but not limited to viral protein 4 and viral protein 7), Rotavirus B (including but not limited to viral protein 4 and viral protein protein 7), rotavirus C (including but not limited to viral protein 4 and viral protein 7), Sindbis virus, simian immunodeficiency virus, human T-cell leukemia virus type 1, Hantavirus, rubella virus, simian immunodeficiency virus, human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (such as, for example, glycoprotein (gp), envelope protein (Env) or gag protein) and human immunodeficiency virus type-2. For example, the presence of a furin protein of the invention may allow enzymatic processing of the secreted spike protein of viral particles into an upright immunologically detectable conformation, enhancing the immune response to degrade extracellular viral particles. In addition, for example, the preparation may contain ferritin protein content that effectively increases the secretion of IL-10 by immune regulatory cells to inhibit the action of hyperactive immune cells, collectively referred to as cytokine storm, or PAI-1 protein that can block the production of plasmin to inhibit " bradykinin storms". The biomolecule of the preparation may also contain thrombomodulin, which can suppress blood micro-coagulation, reducing pathogenic coagulation and reducing thrombotic emboli; and other protein components that inhibit NETosis (neutrophil-induced nucleic acid and protein networks designed to trap pathogenic invading species, for example, viruses and bacteria within the vasculature)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound spheres containing proteins and RNA (a subset of which are exosomes). Exosomes are lipid bilayer vesicles of small (eg 20-150 nm) diameter that are secreted by cells to enable paracrine communication. Other EV populations originate directly from the plasma membrane or are formed during apoptosis (apoptotic bodies). Recently, miRNA sequences homologous to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA sequence were compared and a list of miRNAs that appeared to bind to the viral sequence in the 3′ untranslated region, which has a low mutation rate, was identified. Therefore, miRNA should be effective in its action against multiple virus variants. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the biomolecule composition includes micro RNA content that can bind to microbial RNA sequences and block translation from or activate degradation of the microbial RNA sequence. The composition can therefore reduce the rate of microbial replication (including but not limited to the rate of viral replication) and reduce host cell death. For example, disclosed herein are compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of MSC secretome (such as, for example, including but not limited to MSC growth factor, MSC exosome, MSC extracts, and/or compositions containing extracellular vesicles) and one or more biomolecules containing miRNAs were selected from the group of miRNAs consisting of hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-let-7c-5p, hsa-let-7d-3p, hsa-let-7e - 5p, hsa-let-7g-5p, hsa-let-7i, hsa-let-7i-5p, hsa-miR-100-5p, hsa-miR-103a-3p, hsa-miR-106a-5p, hsa - miR-106b-5p, hsa-mir-10b, hsa-miR-10b-5p, hsa-mir-1246, hsa-miR-1246, hsa-miR-125a-5p, hsa-miR-125b-5p, hsa - miR-130a-3p, hsa-mir-130b, hsa-miR-130b-3p, hsa-miR-132-3p, hsa-miR-136-5p, hsa-miR-138-5p, hsa-miR-139 - 5p, hsa-mir-140, hsa-miR-140-3p, hsa-miR-145-5p, hsa-mir-146a, hsa-miR-146a-5p, hsa-miR-148a-3p, hsa-miR - 152-3p, hsa-miR-15a-5p, hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-mir-16-1, hsa-mir-16-2, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-17 - 5p, hsa-miR-181a-5p, hsa-miR-191-5p, hsa-miR-193a-5p, hsa-miR-193b-3p, hsa-miR-197-3p, hsa-miR-199a-3p , hsa-miR-199a-5p, hsa-miR-199b-5p, hsa-miR-19a-3p, hsa-miR-19b-3p, hsa-miR-20a-5p, hsa-miR-203a, hsa-miR - 203a-3p, hsa-miR-214-3p, hsa-mir-21, hsa-miR-21-3p, hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-mir-221, hsa-miR-221-3p, hsa - mir-222, hsa-miR-222-3p, hsa-miR-22-3p, hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-mir-24-1, hsa-mir-24 - 2, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-mir-25, hsa-miR-25-3p, hsa-miR-26a-5p, hsa-miR-27a-3p, hsa-mir-27b, hsa-miR - 27b-3p, hsa-miR-29a-3p, hsa-miR-29c-3p, hsa-miR-30a-5p, hsa-miR-30a-5p, hsa-miR-30b-5p, hsa-miR-30c - 5p, hsa-mir-30d, hsa-miR-30d-5p, hsa-mir-30e, hsa-miR-30e-5p, hsa-miR-31-3p, hsa-miR-31-5p, hsa-miR - 320a, hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-345-5p, hsa-miR-34a-5p, hsa-miR-361-5p, hsa-miR-376a-3p, hsa-miR-376c-3p , hsa-miR-423-3p, hsa-miR-423-5p, hsa-miR-424-5p, hsa-miR-484, hsa-mir-486-1, hsa-mir-486-2, hsa-miR - 486-5p, hsa-miR-570-3p, hsa-miR-574-3p, hsa-miR-663a, hsa-miR-874-3p, hsa-mir-92a-1, hsa-mir-92a-2 , hsa-miR-92a-3p, hsa-miR-92b-3p, hsa-mir-93, hsa-miR-93-5p, hsa-miR-940, hsa-miR-99a-5p and hsa-miR-99b -5p.
In some embodiments, the composition comprises a miRNA (such as hsa-miR-19a-3p, hsa-miR-19b-3p) that can be effective in inhibiting the translation of bradykinin receptor 2, which is critical for the activation of bradykinin signaling responsible for the severe vascular response to coronavirus infection.
In some embodiments, the composition comprises a microRNA that can inhibit the translation of kallikrein B1 (such as hsa-miR-24-3p) and other kallikrein proteins that are involved in the proteolytic digestion of bradykinin precursor protein to produce the bradykinin peptide.
In some embodiments, the biomolecule of the preparation includes microRNA content that can inhibit the translation of cellular proteins involved in enabling virus fusion to the cell membrane using the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) receptor protein or by blocking the activity of proteins activated through the process of virus binding to the ACE 2 receptor protein. For example, the transmembrane protease enzyme serine 2 (TMPRSS2) can be inhibited. TMPRSS2 is required to allow the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to interact with the ACE 2 receptor and initiate membrane fusion. Exemplary microRNA content may include human miRNA sequences hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-let-7c-5p, hsa-let-7g-5p, hsa-let-7i-5p, hsa-miR-214-3p and hsa-miR-27a-3p, all of which have TMPRSS2 mRNA binding sites.
In some embodiments, the biomolecule composition comprises a microRNA that can inhibit bradykinin pathway proteins. For example, microRNA sequences hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-let-7c-5p, hsa-let-7g-5p, hsa-let-7i-5p, hsa-let-7i , hsa-miR-106a-5p, hsa-miR-106b-5p, hsa-miR-15a-5p, hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-17-5p, hsa -miR-20a-5p, hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-mir-24-1, hsa-mir-24-2, hsa-miR-25-3p, hsa-miR -92a-3p, hsa-miR-92b-3p and hsa-miR-93-5p can bind and prevent the translation of hyaluronic synthase 2, thereby preventing the formation of hyaluronic acid complexes in the lungs. Hyaluronic acid complexes block the exchange of oxygen in the alveoli.
In some embodiments, the biomolecule composition comprises a microRNA content, a protein content, or a combination thereof that can inhibit cytokine storm. The composition can inhibit the cytokine storm by (i) inhibiting the translation of cytokine proteins by binding mRNA sequences to those proteins, (ii) sterically preventing ligand/receptor interactions, (iii) enzymatically modifying the ligand or receptor to inhibit their proinflammatory effects, or (iv) activating inhibitory proteins, lipids or RNA sequences that inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines such as, but not limited to, IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, GM-CSF, M-CSF. For example, the human miRNA sequences hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-let-7c-5p, hsa-let-7g-5p, hsa-let-7i-5p and hsa-miR - 547-3p can bind IL-6 mRNA, while hsa-miR-130a-3p and hsa-miR-181a-5p can inhibit TNF-alpha translation.
It is understood and considered here that the MSC secretome contains exosomes and growth factors. Growth factors and exosomes can be allogeneic or autogenous. Growth factors and exosomes can be derived from any cell in the human body, such as ectodermal cells, endodermal cells, or mesodermal cells. For example, MSC secretomes may contain mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived growth factors, MSC-derived exosomes, or MSC-derived growth factors and exosomes. In some embodiments, the method further includes adding at least one additive with exosomes and growth factors. In particular, MSCs under appropriate wound healing conditions can produce appropriate therapeutic agents, such as exosomes and growth factors, which can provide therapy for inflammatory lung diseases. In one aspect, compositions disclosed herein, wherein the MSC secretome composition further comprises prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1 ), nitric oxide, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-1 receptor antagonist and soluble TNF-α receptor, insulin-like growth factors fibroblast growth factors (FGF) 1-23 (especially FGF1 and FGF2), bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) 1-15, epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) , platelet-derived growth factor (PLGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), insulin, granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) estrogen and /or thyroid hormones.
As noted above, the composition contains proteins and microRNAs, some of which may be embedded in or surrounded by a lipid membrane to form vesicles ranging in size from about >20 nm to about 200 nm. The number of vesicles within the invention can range from about 1 million to about 100 billion vesicles per mL when suspended or about 10 million to about 1 trillion when formulated as a lyophilized powder.
1. Pharmaceutical carriers/delivery of pharmaceutical products
As described above, the compositions can also be administered in vivo in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. "Pharmaceutically acceptable" means a material that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable, i.e., the material can be administered to a subject, together with the nucleic acid or vector, without causing any unwanted biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any other components of the pharmaceutical preparation in which it is found. The carrier would naturally be chosen to minimize any degradation of the active ingredient and to minimize any adverse side effects in the subject, as would be well known to one skilled in the art.
The compositions can be administered orally, parenterally (eg, intravenously), by intramuscular injection, intraperitoneal injection, transdermally, extracorporeally, topically or the like, including topical intranasal administration or administration by inhalation. As used herein, "topical intranasal administration" means delivery of the compositions to the nose and nasal passages through one or both nasal cavities and may include delivery by a spray mechanism or a droplet mechanism, or via nucleic acid or vector aerosolization. Administration of the compositions by inhaler may be through the nose or mouth by delivery by a nebulizer or droplet mechanism such as, for example, a metered dose inhaler, dry powder inhaler, nebulizer, vaporizer, or the like. Delivery can also be directly to any area of the respiratory system (eg lungs) via intubation. The exact amount of compositions required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, weight and general condition of the subject, the severity of the allergic disorder being treated, the particular nucleic acid or vector being used, the route of administration, and the like. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the exact amount for each composition. However, a suitable amount can be determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art using only routine experimentation in light of the teachings herein.
Parenteral administration of the preparation, if used, is generally characterized by injection. Injections can be prepared in the usual forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for suspension solution in liquid before injection, or as emulsions. A recently revised approach to parenteral administration involves the use of slow or sustained release systems so that a constant dose is maintained. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. 3,610,795, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Materials can be in solution, suspension (for example, embedded in microparticles, liposomes or cells). They can be targeted to a specific cell type via antibodies, receptors or receptor ligands. The following references are examples of the use of this technology to target specific proteins to tumor tissue (Senter, et al.,Biokonjugat Chem.,2:447-451, (1991); Bagshawe, K. D.,Br. J. Rak,60:275-281, (1989); Bagshawe, et al.,Br. J. Rak,58:700-703, (1988); Center, et al.,Biokonjugat Chem.,4:3-9, (1993); Battelli, et al.,Cancer Immunol. Imunodrugo.,35:421-425, (1992); Pietersz and McKenzie,Immunologist. reviews,129:57-80, (1992); and Roffler, et al.,Biochem. Pharmacol,42:2062-2065, (1991)). Carriers such as stealth and other antibody-conjugated liposomes (including lipid-mediated drug targeting to colon cancer), receptor-mediated DNA targeting through cell-specific ligands, lymphocyte-directed tumor targeting, and highly specific therapeutic retroviral targeting of murine glioma cells in vivo . The following references are examples of the use of this technology to target specific proteins to tumor tissue (Hughes et al.,cancer research,49:6214-6220, (1989); i Litzinger i Huang,Biochemical and Biophysical Journal,1104:179-187, (1992)). In general, receptors are involved in endocytosis pathways, either constitutive or ligand-induced. These receptors cluster in clathrin-coated pits, enter the cell via clathrin-coated vesicles, pass through the acidified endosome where the receptors are sorted, and are then either recycled to the cell surface, stored inside the cell, or degraded in lysosomes. Internalization pathways serve diverse functions, such as nutrient uptake, clearance of activated proteins, clearance of macromolecules, opportunistic entry of viruses and toxins, dissociation and degradation of ligands, and regulation at the receptor level. Many receptors follow more than one intracellular pathway, depending on cell type, receptor concentration, ligand type, ligand valence, and ligand concentration. Molecular and cellular mechanisms of receptor-mediated endocytosis were reviewed (Brown and Greene,DNA and cell biology10:6, 399-409 (1991)).
a) Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers
The compositions, including antibodies, can be used therapeutically in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Suitable carriers and their formulations are described inRemington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy(19th edition) ed. A. R. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, PA 1995. Typically, an appropriate amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt is used in the formulation to render the formulation isotonic. Examples of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier include, but are not limited to, saline, Ringer's solution, and dextrose solution. The pH of the solution is preferably from about 5 to about 8, and more preferably from about 7 to about 7.5. Further carriers include sustained release compositions such as semi-permeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the antibody, which are matrices in the form of molded articles, e.g. films, liposomes or microparticles. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain carriers may be preferred depending on, for example, the route of administration and the concentration of the formulation being administered.
Pharmaceutical carriers are known to those skilled in the art. These would most commonly be standard vehicles for human drug administration, including solutions such as sterile water, saline, and buffered solutions at physiological pH. The preparations can be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Other compounds will be administered according to standard procedures used by those skilled in the art.
Pharmaceutical compositions may include carriers, thickeners, diluents, buffers, preservatives, surfactants, and the like in addition to the molecule of choice. Pharmaceutical compositions may also include one or more active ingredients such as antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anesthetics, and the like.
The pharmaceutical preparation can be applied in several ways depending on whether local or systemic treatment is desired, and on the area being treated. Administration may be topical (including ophthalmic, vaginal, rectal, intranasal), oral, inhalation or parenteral, for example intravenous drip, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal or intramuscular injection. The disclosed antibodies can be administered intravenously, intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intracavitarily or transdermally.
Preparations for parenteral administration include sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions and emulsions. Examples of non-aqueous solvents are propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils such as olive oil, and organic injectable esters such as ethyl oleate. Aqueous vehicles include water, alcoholic/aqueous solutions, emulsions or suspensions, including saline and buffered media. Parenteral vehicles include sodium chloride solution, Ringer's dextrose, dextrose and sodium chloride, Ringer's lactate, or fixed oils. Intravenous vehicles include fluids and nutrient supplements, electrolyte supplements (such as those based on Ringer's dextrose), and the like. Preservatives and other additives may also be present such as, for example, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, chelating agents and inert gases and the like.
Topical formulations may include ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids, and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oil bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.
Preparations for oral administration include powders or granules, suspensions or solutions in water or a non-aqueous medium, capsules, sachets or tablets. Thickeners, flavoring agents, diluents, emulsifiers, dispersing agents or binders may be preferred.
Some of the compositions can potentially be administered as pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salts, formed by reaction with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, perchloric acid, nitric acid, thiocyanic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, and organic acids such as are formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid and fumaric acid, or by reaction with an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and organic bases such as mono-, di-, trialkyl and aryl amines and substituted ethanolamines.
b) Therapeutic use
Effective doses and schedules for administration of the compositions can be determined empirically, and such determination is within the skill of the art. The dosage ranges for administration of the preparations are those large enough to produce the desired effect in which the symptoms of the disorder are affected. The dose must not be so high as to cause harmful side effects, such as unwanted cross-reactions, anaphylactic reactions and the like. In general, the dosage will vary depending on the patient's age, condition, sex, and degree of disease, route of administration, or whether other drugs are included in the regimen, and can be determined by one skilled in the art. The dose can be individually adjusted by the doctor in case of contraindications. Dosage may vary and may be administered in one or more doses per day, over one or several days. Guidelines for appropriate dosages for certain classes of pharmaceutical products can be found in the literature. For example, guidelines for selecting appropriate doses for antibodies can be found in the literature on the therapeutic use of antibodies, e.g.Handbook of Monoclonal Antibodies,Ferrone et al., ur., Noges Publications, Park Ridge, N.J., (1985) pogl. 22 i str. 303-357; Smith i dr.,Antibodies in human diagnostics and therapy,Haber et al., eds., Raven Press, New York (1977) p. 365-389. A typical daily dose of the antibody used alone can range from about 1 μg/kg to 100 mg/kg body weight or more per day, depending on the above factors.
C. Mesenchymal stem cells
As noted throughout, the therapeutic compositions disclosed herein may utilize MSC secretomes and/or growth factors derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). While allogeneic MSC IV infusion treatments are in high demand, there are numerous safety and regulatory issues related to allogeneic cell preparations. Inherent problems with IV infusions of live MSCs include entrapment of the cells in the lung, causing the cells to die within 24 hours. The cellular debris from this cell death is transported to the liver and spleen, where it is disposed of. Current autogenous bone marrow concentrate treatments yield only a few thousand MSCs. While allogeneic expanded MSC IV infusions can deliver hundreds of millions of live MSCs, they remain trapped in the lungs and die. The long-term effect of introducing foreign DNA into the recipient is not clear, and questions have been raised as to whether the introduction of large amounts of foreign DNA can be carcinogenic.
Existing autogenous and allogeneic MSCs contained in bone marrow, bone marrow concentrate, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from synovium or stromal vascular fractions (SVF) derived from adipose tissue or various postnatal products from umbilical cord, placenta or amnion, expanded MSC cultures are currently used for the treatment of wounds, orthopedic pathology and spine pathology. To avoid recognition by the immune system, undifferentiated MSCs express low to intermediate levels of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and low levels of HLA class II. This property gives donor MSCs the so-called 'stealth' ability to be undetected by the host's immune system in allogeneic therapies. However, class I antigen is present at measurable levels, and class II antigen expression can be induced by INF-γ. Several cases of allogeneic MSC rejection and chronic immune responses have been reported in animal studies and human clinical trials. This entire problem could be avoided by using only mesenchymal stem cell secretomes, including but not limited to growth factors, proteins, peptides, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, chemokines, cytokines, extracts, extracellular vesicles and/or exosomes collected from conditioned growth media. Acellular versus cellular MSC product
In fact, prior to this discovery, no active MSC growth factor product had been developed that could be used for these applications. Thus, in one aspect, disclosed herein are MSC secretome compositions (including but not limited to MSC growth factor, MSC exosome, MSC extracts, and/or preparations containing extracellular vesicles) for use in treating, inhibiting, reducing, reducing, enhancing , and/or prevention of microbial infection, symptoms of said infection, or secondary conditions (such as, for example, microbial-induced cytokine storm, microbial-induced bradykinin storm, and/or microbial-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome), said treatment compositions containing (i) a powdered growth factor additive comprising a composition derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) (including but not limited to MSC secretome composition) and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
As noted above, MSCs are multipotent cells that have the ability to differentiate into a multitude of cell types including myocytes, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and osteoblasts. Typically, these cells can be found in the placenta, cord blood, adipose tissue, bone marrow, or amniotic fluid, including perivascular tissue. As used herein, "MSC" refers to non-terminally differentiated cells including but not limited to multipotent stem cells, multipotent stromal cells, stromal vascular cells, pericytes, perivascular cells, stromal cells, pluripotent cells, multipotent cells, adipose-derived fibroblasts tissues. similar cells, adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction, adipose tissue-derived MSC, bone marrow-derived fibroblast-like cells, bone marrow-derived stromal vascular fraction, bone marrow-derived MSC, tissue-derived fibroblast-like cells, adult stem cells, adult stromal cells, keratinocytes and/or melanocytes.
It has long been known that MSCs, in addition to their differentiation potential, also have immunomodulating abilities that result in the expression of many different cytokines and growth factors. As used herein, "MSC preparation" or "MSC secretome composition" refers to a composition containing MSC growth factors, MSC exosomes, extracellular vesicles, extracellular vesicle isolate product (EVIP), or acellular MSC extracts and/or MSC lysates derived from human MSCs, fibroblast-like cells and non-human animal MSCs including but not limited to MSCs from horses, cows, pigs, sheep, non-human primates, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and mice. In embodiments, the MSCs may be derived from the patient to whom the composition will be administered (autologous) or derived from another individual (allogeneic). MSCs can be expanded in culture to collect conditioned media or to increase the amount of cells for lysate or can be used fresh prior to incorporation into the composition of the present disclosure.
MSC secretome preparations (including but not limited to MSC growth factor, MSC exosome, MSC extracts and/or compositions containing extracellular vesicles) may contain about 0.00001 to about 20 wt. %, such as from about 0.01 to about 10 wt. % of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) extract, MSC exosomes or MSC growth factor preparations. The MSC preparation may contain either MSC conditioned medium or MSC lysate from expanded cell culture MSCs. In some embodiments, the composition may further comprise from about 0.01 to about 10 wt. % of cell-free medium conditioned by the growth of MSCs or cells of the MSC lineage, wherein the cells are cultured under normal hyperoxic culture conditions or under artificial wound healing conditions.
As disclosed herein, MSCs used to produce the disclosed MSC additives (including secretome composition of growth factors either frozen or powdered) can be selectively stimulated to produce MSC growth factors, secretomes, cytokines, chemokines, mesenchymal stem proteins cells, peptides, glycosaminoglycans, extracellular matrix (ECM), proteoglycans, secretomes and exosomes. Growth factors and exosomes can be derived from any cell in the human body, such as ectodermal cells, endodermal cells, or mesodermal cells. As used herein, MSC growth factors include, but are not limited to, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), nitric oxide, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-1 receptor antagonist and soluble TNF-α receptor, insulin-like growth factors, growth fibroblast factors (FGF) 1-23 (especially FGF1 and FGF2), bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) 1-15, epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP), platelet-derived growth factor (PLGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), insulin, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), such as and hormones including estrogen and thyroid hormones.
As mentioned above, culture of MSCs can occur under normal hyperoxic culture conditions or under hypoxic wound healing conditions. Hyperoxic conditions may contain approximately 21% oxygen with or without serum supplementation, while hypoxic conditions may contain about 1% to about 5% oxygen with inflammatory cytokines, angiogenic factors, reduced serum, reduced glucose, or these elements in various combinations. The combined reduced nutrient and metabolite environment can induce cultured cells to produce wound healing and anti-inflammatory ECM proteins and growth factors to direct tissue healing. Direct tissue healing is likely in the form of new ECM proteins, such as collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), as well as growth factors and cytokines. In one aspect, the MSC composition (such as, for example, an MSC secretome composition) comprises MSC growth factors, MSC exosomes, and/or MSC cell extracts or MSC lysates derived from MSC- and cultured under standard hyperoxic culture conditions (for example, 21% oxygen) or MSCs cultured under artificial wound healing conditions (such as, for example, 0.1% to about 5% oxygen in the presence of inflammatory cytokines, angiogenic factors, and reduced glucose ).
As disclosed herein, artificial wound healing conditions simulate growth conditions in real wounds where there is a reduction in nutrient supply and a reduction in waste removal typically caused by disruption of local blood circulation. This creates a harsh environment for the cells until new blood vessels are formed and blood circulation is restored. Accordingly, artificial wound healing conditions used to culture MSCs may include one or more of the following growth conditions, reduced glucose availability, reduced oxygen tension, reduced pH, and elevated temperature.
In one aspect, the availability of glucose may be reduced relative to a normal control. The modified culture medium to reduce glucose but without damaging the cells can be between 0 and 50% glucose reduction, more preferably between about 5% and 40% glucose reduction. For example, the culture conditions of MSC artificial wound healing culture may include reducing glucose by about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 or 50% such as a reduction in glucose from about 5% to about 15%, from about 10% to about 20%, from about 15% to about 25%, from about 20% to about 30%, or from about 25% to about 35%.
In one aspect, the oxygen tension can be reduced to oxygen levels under hypoxic conditions. Normal atmospheric oxygen is approximately 21% and any reduction is considered hypoxic. Thus, in one aspect, MSCs can be cultured at between 0.0% and 20.9% oxygen, from about 0.1% to about 0.5% oxygen, from about 0.1% to about 2.0% , from about 0.1% to about 5.0% oxygen, from about 0.5% to 5.0%, from about 1.0% to about 10% oxygen, from about 5.0% to about 10.0% oxygen; and from about 10.0% to about 15.0% under conditions of artificial wound healing. Preferably, during culture of MSCs, the oxygen tension is between about 0.5% and 20.5% oxygen, such as, for example, 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0 ,4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 , 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.7, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1 , 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 , 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5 , 4.6 , 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0 , 7.1 , 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 , 9.6 , 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 15.5 , 16, 16.5, 17, 17.5, 18, 18.5, 19 , 19.5, 20 or 20.5% oxygen.
The pH may also decrease under conditions of artificial wound healing. Physiological pH is maintained very tightly and is usually very close to neutral pH=7.2±0.2 (7.0-7.4). However, in the early acidic environment it can have pH=6.2±0.2 (ie pH from 6.0 to about 6.4). Accordingly, under culture conditions for artificial wound healing, the pH may be from about 6.0 to about 7.4, for example, from 6.0 to about 6.4, from about 6.2 to about 6.4 , from about 6.2 to about 6.6, from about 6.4 to about 6.6, from about 6.4 to about 6.8, or from about 6.6 to about 7.0, such as 6 ,0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 , 7.3 or 7.4.
Under culture conditions of artificial wound healing, the ambient temperature of the culture can be raised to simulate an increase in temperature at the wound site. Physiological homeostasis temperature is maintained at 37°C (98.6°F). A slight increase or decrease can cause significant changes in cellular metabolism. Increasing the temperature above 37° C. to any temperature up to about 40° C. (104° F.) can create a "feverish" environment. Therefore, in one aspect, artificial wound healing culture conditions for MSCs may comprise from about 35°C to about 39°C, from about 35°C to about 36°C, from about 36°C to about 37°C, from about 37°C to about 38°C, from about 38°C to about 39°C, from about 39°C to about 40°C. In one aspect, the culture temperature for artificial wound healing can be 35.0, 35.1, 35.2, 35.3, 36.4, 35.5, 35.6, 35.7, 35.8, 35.9, 36.0, 36.1, 36.2, 36.3, 36.4, 36.5, 36.6, 36.6. 7, 36, 8, 36.9, 37.0, .37.1, 37.2, 37.3, 37.4, 37.5, 37.6, 37.7, 37.8, 37.9, 38.0, 38.1, 38.2, 38.3, 38.4, 38.5, 38.6, 38.7, 38. 8, 38.9, 39.0 , 39.1, 39.2, 39.3, 39.4, 39.5 , 39.6, 39.7, 39.8, 39.9 or 40.0°C.
In one aspect, MSC secretome compositions (including but not limited to MSC growth factor, MSC exosome, MSC extracts, and/or compositions containing extracellular vesicles) may further comprise a protective coating (such as, for example, a cryoprotective oligosaccharide and a solution protein) to reduce the breakdown of growth factors. It is understood and considered herein that the protective coating can be constructed as a polymer. "Polymer" refers to an organic compound of relatively high molecular weight, natural or synthetic, whose structure can be represented by a repeating small unit, a monomer. Non-limiting examples of polymers include polyethylene, rubber, cellulose. Synthetic polymers are usually formed by addition or condensation polymerization of monomers. The term "copolymer" refers to a polymer formed from two or more different repeating units (monomer residues). By way of example and without limitation, the copolymer may be an alternating copolymer, a random copolymer, a block copolymer, or a graft copolymer. It is also contemplated that, in certain aspects, the various block segments of a block copolymer may themselves comprise copolymers. The term "polymer" encompasses all forms of polymers including, but not limited to, natural polymers, synthetic polymers, homopolymers, heteropolymers or copolymers, addition polymers, etc. In one aspect, the gel matrix may comprise copolymers, block copolymers, diblock copolymers, and/or triblock copolymers.
In one aspect, the protective coating may comprise a biocompatible polymer. In one aspect, the biocompatible polymer may be cross-linked. Such polymers can also be used to slowly release an adipose tissue browning agent and/or a fat modulating agent into the tissue. As used herein, biocompatible polymers include but are not limited to polysaccharides; hydrophilic polypeptides; poly(amino acids) such as poly-L-glutamic acid (PGS), gamma-polyglutamic acid, poly-L-aspartic acid, poly-L-serine or poly-L-lysine; polyalkylene glycols and polyalkylene oxides such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO); poly(oxyethylated polyol); poly(olefinic alcohol); polyvinylpyrrolidone); poly(hydroxyalkylmethacrylamide); poly(hydroxyalkyl methacrylate); poly(saccharides); poly(hydroxy acids); poly(vinyl alcohol), polyhydroxy acids such as poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid) and poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid); polyhydroxyalkanoates such as poly3-hydroxybutyrate or poly4-hydroxybutyrate; polycaprolactones; poly(orthoesters); polyanhydrides; poly(phosphazenes); poly(lactide-co-caprolactones); polycarbonates such as tyrosine polycarbonates; polyamides (including synthetic and natural polyamides), polypeptides and poly(amino acids); polyesteramides; polyesters; poly(dioxanones); poly(alkylene alkylates); hydrophobic polyethers; polyurethanes; polyether esters; polyacetals; polycyanoacrylates; polyacrylates; polymethyl methacrylates; polysiloxanes; poly(oxyethylene)/poly(oxypropylene) copolymers; polyketals; polyphosphates; polyhydroxyvalerates; polyalkylene oxalates; polyalkylene succinates; poly(maleic acid), as well as their copolymers. Biocompatible polymers may also include polyamides, polycarbonates, polyalkylenes, polyalkylene glycols, polyalkylene oxides, polyalkylene terephthalates, polyvinyl alcohols (PVA), methacrylate PVA (m-PVA), polyvinyl ethers, polyvinyl esters, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyglycolides, polysiloxanes. , polyurethanes and their copolymers, alkyl cellulose, hydroxyalkyl cellulose, cellulose ethers, cellulose esters, nitro cellulose, polymers of acrylic and methacrylic esters, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxy-propyl methyl cellulose, hydroxybutyl methyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose propionate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate phthalate, carboxyethyl cellulose, cellulose triacetate, cellulose sulfate sodium salt, poly (methyl methacrylate), poly (ethyl methacrylate), poly (butyl methacrylate), poly (isobutyl methacrylate), poly (hexyl methacrylate), poly ( isodecyl methacrylate), poly(lauryl methacrylate), poly(phenyl methacrylate), poly(methyl acrylate), poly(isopropyl acrylate), poly(isobutyl acrylate), poly(octadecyl acrylate), polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(ethylene glycol), poly (ethylene) oxide), poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(vinyl alcohols), poly(vinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride polystyrene and polyvinylpyrrolidone, their derivatives, linear and branched copolymers and their block copolymers, and their mixtures.
