Therapeutic compositions

The present invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for inhibiting or reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in cells, such as in cells of the vascular system and in particular the smooth muscle-containing vasculature and / or endothelial cell-containing vasculature and / or adventitial fibroblast-containing vasculature. ROS production may also be inhibited in non-vascular cells of animals including mammals such as humans. Non-vascular cells contemplated herein include nerve cells, stem cells, progenitor cells and some cancer and rumor cells. More particularly, the present invention provides agents and even more particularly, cell-impermeable agents, capable of modulating NADPH oxidase activity, function or levels, thereby controlling superoxide production and production of downstream ROS. The present invention particularly enables agents which are selective against a form of Nox4-containing NADPH oxidase which has a portion of the enzyme such as all or part of the Nox4 component extracellularly exposed.

Methods of isolating bipotent hepatic progenitor cells

A method of obtaining a mixture of cells enriched in hepatic progenitors is developed which comprises methods yielding suspensions of a mixture of cell types, and selecting those cells that are classical MHC class I antigen(s) negative and ICAM-1 antigen positive. The weak or dull expression of nonclassical MHC class I antigen(s) can be used for further enrichment of hepatic progenitors. Furthermore, the progenitors can be selected to have a level of side scatter, a measure of granularity or cytoplasmic droplets, that is higher than that in non-parenchymal cells, such as hemopoietic cells, and lower than that in mature parenchymal cells, such as hepatocytes. Furthermore, the progeny of the isolated progenitors can express alpha-fetoprotein and / or albumin and / or CK19. The hepatic progenitors, so isolated, can grow clonally, that is an entire population of progeny can be derived from one cell. The clones of progenitors have a growth pattern in culture of piled-up aggregates or clusters. These methods of isolating the hepatic progenitors are applicable to any vertebrates including human. The hepatic progenitor cell population is expected to be useful for cell therapies, for bioartificial livers, for gene therapies, for vaccine development, and for myriad toxicological, pharmacological, and pharmaceutical programs and investigations.

Sickled Erythrocytes and Progenitors Target Cytotoxics to Tumors

The present invention provides therapeutic mammalian cells which synthesize and express SS hemoglobin and a tumoricidal transgene. They are produced by transduction of SS erythroid progenitors / erythroblasts using viral vectors comprising a tumoricidal transgene operatively linked to the coding region of SS β-globin promoter / enhancer. Such transduced SS erythroid cells differentiate into mature SSRBCs that exhibit sustained synthesis and expression of SS hemoglobin, a tumoricidal protein(s). Both mature and progenitor SS-cells carrying tumoricidal transgene(s) are capable of selectively localizing in tumor microenvironment, occluding tumor microvessels and inducing a tumoricidal response.

Method of expanding cord blood cells

Based on previous evidence suggesting positive effects of fever on in vivo hematopoiesis, the effect of hyperthermia on the expansion and differentiation of megakaryocytes (MKs) in ex vivo cultures of CB CD34-enriched cells has now been tested. Cells were cultured at 37° C. or 39° C. for 14 days in cytokine conditions optimized for MK development, and analyzed periodically by microscopy, flow cytometry and colony assays. Compared to 37° C., cultures maintained at 39° C. produced much more total cells (5X), MK progenitors (9X) and total MKs (7X), and showed accelerated (3-4 days) and enhanced MK maturation with increased yields of proplatelets and platelets (11.7X). The increased number of CD34+ cells and myeloid progenitors in the 39° C. cultures also suggested a general stimulatory effect of hyperthermia on the expansion of more primitive stem / progenitor cells and of cells of other lineages.

Efficient stem cell delivery into biomaterials using capillary driven encapsulation

Efficient stem cell delivery into biomaterials using capillary driven encapsulation are disclosed herein where stem / progenitor and / or tissue specific cells are rapidly and efficiently seeded via capillary driven encapsulation into a porous scaffold for cell delivery in the skin or any other organ. The rapid capillary force approach maximizes both seeding time and efficiency by combining hydrophobic, entropic and capillary forces to promote active, ‘bottom-up’ cell engraftment. This methodology uses micro domain patterned biopolymers in a porous dry gel to generate capillary pressure to move a viscous stem cell mix from a hydrophobic reservoir into the polymer matrix to promote active cell seeding within the entire gel volume.
