Description

この発明は、ヒト造血幹細胞を増幅させるための組成物及び方法に関する。   The present invention relates to compositions and methods for amplifying human hematopoietic stem cells.

造血幹細胞を維持、未分化維持、自己複製又は増殖・増幅させる因子は長年にわたり探索されてきた。その結果、現在までに幹細胞因子(以下「SCF(stem cell factor)」という。)、Flt3 ligand、TPO(トロンボポエチン)などの様々な因子やサイトカインを使って造血幹細胞を培養し増幅させる方法が考案されてきた(特許文献1〜5、非特許文献1〜4)。また、骨髄ストローマ細胞とヒト造血幹細胞を共培養することにより、ヒト造血幹細胞を増幅できることが知られており(特許文献1など)、ストローマ細胞に他のサイトカイン等を存在させた培地が提案されている(特許文献1、2、非特許文献2等)。   Factors that maintain hematopoietic stem cells, maintain undifferentiated, self-replicate or proliferate / amplify have been sought for many years. As a result, a method for culturing and amplifying hematopoietic stem cells using various factors and cytokines such as stem cell factor (hereinafter referred to as “SCF (stem cell factor)”), Flt3 ligand, TPO (thrombopoietin) has been devised. (Patent documents 1 to 5, non-patent documents 1 to 4). In addition, it is known that human hematopoietic stem cells can be amplified by co-culturing bone marrow stromal cells and human hematopoietic stem cells (Patent Document 1, etc.), and a medium in which other cytokines are present in stromal cells has been proposed. (Patent Documents 1 and 2, Non-Patent Document 2, etc.).

しかし、造血幹細胞を分化させずに幹細胞のまま増幅させることのできる、いわゆる「自己複製因子」は見つかっていない。更に、造血幹細胞を移植治療に十分な細胞数まで迅速に効率よく体外で増幅させる臨床応用可能な手法の確立には至っていない。
そのため、造血幹細胞を極力幹細胞のまま増幅させることができる因子の発見と、それを用いたヒト造血幹細胞を効率良く安全に増幅する移植治療に実用できる方法の開発が求められている。
However, a so-called “self-replicating factor” that can amplify hematopoietic stem cells without differentiation has been found. Furthermore, the establishment of a clinically applicable technique for rapidly and efficiently amplifying hematopoietic stem cells to a sufficient number of cells for transplantation treatment has not yet been established.
Therefore, discovery of a factor that can amplify hematopoietic stem cells as much as possible as stem cells and development of a method that can be practically used for transplantation treatment that efficiently and safely amplifies human hematopoietic stem cells using the same are required.

本発明者は、ヒト造血幹細胞をヒト骨髄ストローマ細胞(即ち、骨髄細胞を培養するとシャーレに付着して増殖する細胞集団)と共培養したが、ヒト造血幹細胞を維持・増幅することはできなかった。また、SCFはヒト造血幹細胞を維持・増幅できるものの、増幅率が十分ではなく更に増幅率を高める必要があった。しかし、造血幹細胞をSCF存在下で骨髄ストローマ細胞と共培養すると顕著な増幅が観察された。
そこで、本発明者は、ヒト骨髄ストローマ細胞を無血清培地で数日間培養した上清を、SCF存在下又は非存在下の無血清培地に添加して、ヒト造血幹細胞を培養した。その結果、骨髄ストローマ細胞培養上清だけでは造血幹細胞は増幅できなかったが、骨髄ストローマ細胞培養上清とSCFを同時に添加すると、造血幹細胞は十分に増幅できた。従って、ヒト骨髄ストローマ細胞から分泌されるタンパク質等とSCFだけでヒト造血幹細胞を増幅できることが分かった。
The present inventor co-cultured human hematopoietic stem cells with human bone marrow stromal cells (that is, a cell population that grows by attaching to a petri dish when bone marrow cells are cultured), but could not maintain or amplify human hematopoietic stem cells. . Moreover, although SCF can maintain and amplify human hematopoietic stem cells, the amplification rate is not sufficient, and it was necessary to further increase the amplification rate. However, significant amplification was observed when hematopoietic stem cells were co-cultured with bone marrow stromal cells in the presence of SCF.
Therefore, the present inventor added a supernatant obtained by culturing human bone marrow stromal cells for several days in a serum-free medium to a serum-free medium in the presence or absence of SCF, and cultured human hematopoietic stem cells. As a result, hematopoietic stem cells could not be amplified only by the bone marrow stromal cell culture supernatant, but when the bone marrow stromal cell culture supernatant and SCF were added simultaneously, the hematopoietic stem cells could be sufficiently amplified. Therefore, it was found that human hematopoietic stem cells can be amplified only with proteins and SCF secreted from human bone marrow stromal cells.

そこで、骨髄ストローマ細胞から分泌産生される造血幹細胞を増幅又は自己複製させる因子を同定し、より純化した系での効率良い体外での造血幹細胞の増幅法の開発を試みた。先ず、ヒト骨髄ストローマ細胞からpolyA+ mRNAを調製し、DNAマイクロアレイ(Affymetrix GeneChip Microarray)解析を行い、骨髄ストローマ細胞で高発現(又は他の細胞と比較して特異的に高発現)している分泌タンパク質のリストを作成した。リストには、既知の造血幹細胞の自己複製因子、増幅因子、サイトカインもあったが、機能が未だ解明されていない分泌タンパク質の中から、造血幹細胞を増幅又は自己複製させる可能性がある因子を絞り込み、候補因子リストを作成した。これら候補因子から、造血幹細胞を実際に維持・増幅する活性を指標に新規因子をスクリーニングした。ヒト臍帯血由来CD34陽性細胞(造血幹細胞)を、各候補因子を添加した無血清培地中で培養し、少しでも生存維持又は増殖させる活性のある因子をスクリーニングした。しかし、候補因子単独で造血幹細胞を維持又は増幅させるものはなかった。そこで、造血幹細胞の生存維持に最低限必要な因子であるSCFを無血清培地に低濃度で添加し、造血幹細胞がやっと生存維持できる環境を設定した。こうすることで、各候補因子の添加で造血幹細胞の維持・増幅効果を敏感に観測できる条件となり、造血幹細胞を維持又は増幅させる新規因子をスクリーニングした。その結果、IL31(interleukin-31)、PGF(placental growth factor、PLGFとも表記する)(胎盤成長因子)、VEGF-B(vascular endothelial growth factor B)(血管内皮増殖(成長)因子B)、IGFBP6(insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6)(インスリン様成長因子結合タンパク質6)、EFEMP1(EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1)、FGF8、FGF9、FGF10、FGF17、FGF19、FGF20(線維芽細胞増殖因子8, 9, 10, 17, 19, 20)の因子が新たに造血幹細胞をSCF存在下で維持・増幅させることができることを発見した。   Therefore, the present inventors have identified a factor that amplifies or self-replicates hematopoietic stem cells secreted and produced from bone marrow stromal cells, and attempted to develop an efficient method for amplifying hematopoietic stem cells in a more purified system. First, polyA + mRNA is prepared from human bone marrow stromal cells, analyzed by DNA microarray (Affymetrix GeneChip Microarray), and secreted protein that is highly expressed in bone marrow stromal cells (or specifically highly expressed compared to other cells) Created a list of The list includes known hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal factors, amplification factors, and cytokines, but narrows down the factors that may cause hematopoietic stem cells to amplify or self-replicate from secreted proteins whose functions have not yet been elucidated. A candidate factor list was created. From these candidate factors, novel factors were screened using as an index the activity of actually maintaining and amplifying hematopoietic stem cells. Human umbilical cord blood-derived CD34-positive cells (hematopoietic stem cells) were cultured in a serum-free medium supplemented with each candidate factor, and screened for factors having an activity to maintain or proliferate even a little. However, none of the candidate factors alone maintain or amplify hematopoietic stem cells. Therefore, SCF, which is the minimum factor necessary for maintaining the survival of hematopoietic stem cells, was added to a serum-free medium at a low concentration to set up an environment where hematopoietic stem cells can finally maintain their survival. In this way, the addition of each candidate factor provided a condition under which the effect of maintaining / amplifying hematopoietic stem cells could be observed sensitively, and a novel factor that maintains or amplifies hematopoietic stem cells was screened. As a result, IL31 (interleukin-31), PGF (also called placental growth factor, PLGF) (placental growth factor), VEGF-B (vascular endothelial growth factor B) (vascular endothelial growth (growth) factor B), IGFBP6 ( insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6), EFEMP1 (EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1), FGF8, FGF9, FGF10, FGF17, FGF19, FGF20 (fibroblast growth factor) 8, 9, 10, 17, 19, 20) were newly found to be able to maintain and amplify hematopoietic stem cells in the presence of SCF.

即ち、本発明は、下記(1)及び(2)の因子から成るヒト造血幹細胞を増幅させるための組成物である。

Further, the present invention is a medium for culturing human hematopoietic stem cells comprising this composition and comprising serum-free or human serum.

本発明の組成物により、造血幹細胞を体外で増幅することができるので、患者自身の骨髄(又は末梢血や出生時に保存した自家臍帯血)などから得た少量の造血幹細胞から移植治療に充分な量の造血幹細胞を調製することができ、HLA適合のドナーを待つことなく安全な移植治療が可能となる。即ち、自家移植が可能となり、移植に必要な幹細胞数も確保できる上に、拒絶反応の問題も解決できる。他家移植においても、細胞数が少なく移植治療できなかった臍帯血からでも、またドナーにリスクを与えない少量の骨髄採取からでも、成人の移植治療に必要な数の造血幹細胞の調達が可能となる。また、遺伝子治療に必要な造血幹細胞を容易に入手可能となり、リスクを伴うレトロウイルスを用いた遺伝子導入法を使わずとも、導入効率が悪くても安全な遺伝子導入法を用いることが可能となり、また、遺伝子導入した造血幹細胞を増幅することにも使用できることで、遅れている遺伝子治療の実用化と普及が期待できる。   The composition of the present invention allows hematopoietic stem cells to be amplified outside the body, and is sufficient for transplantation treatment from a small amount of hematopoietic stem cells obtained from the patient's own bone marrow (or peripheral blood or autologous umbilical cord blood preserved at birth). An amount of hematopoietic stem cells can be prepared, enabling safe transplantation treatment without waiting for an HLA-compatible donor. That is, autologous transplantation is possible, the number of stem cells necessary for transplantation can be secured, and the problem of rejection can be solved. It is possible to procure the number of hematopoietic stem cells necessary for transplantation treatment of adults, even from umbilical cord blood where the number of cells was small and could not be transplanted, or from a small amount of bone marrow that does not pose a risk to the donor. Become. In addition, hematopoietic stem cells necessary for gene therapy can be easily obtained, and it is possible to use a safe gene transfer method even if the transfer efficiency is low, without using a gene transfer method using a risky retrovirus, In addition, since it can be used to amplify gene-introduced hematopoietic stem cells, it can be expected that the delayed gene therapy will be put to practical use and spread.

本発明の組成物を構成する因子である幹細胞因子(SCF)は、造血幹細胞の細胞死を抑制し、単独でもある程度生存させ維持も可能であり、他の因子と共に自己複製あるいは増幅させる因子である(非特許文献1)。
ヒトSCFは、転写の違い(Alternative transcripts)により2つのアイソフォーム(isoform)があり、配列番号1及び2で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
Stem cell factor (SCF), which is a factor constituting the composition of the present invention, is a factor that suppresses cell death of hematopoietic stem cells and can survive and maintain to some extent alone, and can self-replicate or amplify together with other factors. (Non-Patent Document 1).
Human SCF has two isoforms due to differences in transcription (Alternative transcripts), and has amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2.

本発明の組成物を構成する因子であるIL31はT細胞由来サイトカインであり、IL6ファミリー(IL6、IL11、IL27、IL31、Oncostatin M、Leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF)、Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor(CNTF), Cardiotrophin-1(CT-1)、neurotrophin-1/B cell stimulatory factor-3(NT-1/BCSF-3)からなる)の一員である。IL31はIL31RA/GPL(gp130-like)とOSMR(Oncostatin M receptor)のヘテロダイマーからなるレセプターに結合しシグナルを伝達する。過去にIL6、IL11、IL27、Oncostatin Mが造血幹細胞を増殖分化すると報告されている(Stem Cells 26, 2164-2172, 2008、Biochem. Biophys. Acta 1592, 313-321, 2002)。IL31の機能には免疫応答が知られているが、過去に造血幹細胞に対する作用は報告されておらず、本発明で初めて造血幹細胞に対する増幅活性が報告されることとなった。
ヒトIL31は、配列番号3で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトIL31として、各種データベースに、NM_001014336、AY499343、BC132998、BC133000等のcDNA塩基配列が登録され、Q6EBC2、NP_001014358、EAW98310、AAI32999、AAI33001、AAS86448、BAJ21082、AAI17083、AAI17085等のアミノ酸配列が登録されており、ゲノム遺伝子配列、人工合成遺伝子も登録されている。他に、マウス、ラット、チンパンジー、イヌ等の遺伝子も登録されており、本発明においては、下等生物遺伝子や人工合成遺伝子も含めてIL31としての特異的生理活性を持つタンパク質はいずれも利用することができる。
IL31, which is a factor constituting the composition of the present invention, is a T cell-derived cytokine, and the IL6 family (IL6, IL11, IL27, IL31, Oncostatin M, Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF), Cardiotrophin- 1 (CT-1), a member of neurotrophin-1 / B cell stimulatory factor-3 (NT-1 / BCSF-3). IL31 binds to a receptor composed of a heterodimer of IL31RA / GPL (gp130-like) and OSMR (Oncostatin M receptor) and transmits a signal. In the past, IL6, IL11, IL27, and Oncostatin M have been reported to proliferate and differentiate hematopoietic stem cells (Stem Cells 26, 2164-2172, 2008, Biochem. Biophys. Acta 1592, 313-321, 2002). Although an immune response is known for the function of IL31, no action on hematopoietic stem cells has been reported in the past, and amplification activity on hematopoietic stem cells has been reported for the first time in the present invention.
Human IL31 has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3.
As human IL31, cDNA base sequences such as NM_001014336, AY499343, BC132998, and BC133000 are registered in various databases, and amino acid sequences such as Q6EBC2, NP_001014358, EAW98310, AAI32999, AAI33001, AAS86448, BAJ21082, AAI17083, and AAI17085 are registered. Genomic gene sequences and artificial synthetic genes are also registered. In addition, genes such as mouse, rat, chimpanzee, and dog are also registered, and in the present invention, any protein having specific physiological activity as IL31 including lower organism genes and artificially synthesized genes is used. be able to.

本発明の組成物を構成する因子であるPGF/PLGFとVEGF-Bは、 VEGF-A、VEGF-B、VEGF-C、VEGF-D、PGF/PLGFからなるVEGFファミリーのメンバーであり、他のメンバーと同様に血管内皮細胞の増殖や透過性亢進活性を持つ。VEGFのレセプターにはVEGFR-1/Flt-1、VEGFR-2/Flk-1/KDR、VEGFR-3/Flt-4の3種があり、PGF/PLGFはVEGFR-1/Flt-1のみに結合する。VEGFR-1/Flt-1にはVEGF-A、VEGF-Bも結合するが他のVEGFは結合しない。VEGF-AはVEGFR-2/Flk-1/KDRにも結合する。胎児初期発生の段階で、VEGF-Aは造血を促進し、PGF/PLGFは造血幹細胞の維持や移動に作用しSCF産生を促すことで間接的に造血幹細胞を増やすことが報告されている(Nature Med. 8, 841-849, 2002)。しかし、PGF/PLGF及びVEGF-Bが造血幹細胞に直接作用し増幅させる活性は報告されていない。本発明でPGF/PLGFとVEGF-Bが新たに造血幹細胞の増幅活性を持つことを発見したことから、VEGF-A、VEGF-B、PGF/PLGFに共通のレセプターであるVEGFR-1/Flt-1を介したシグナルが造血幹細胞の増幅に関与していると考えられる。
ヒトPGF/PLGFには、3つのアイソフォーム(isoform)があり、配列番号4〜6で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトVEGF-Bには、2つのアイソフォーム(isoform)があり、配列番号7〜8で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
PGF / PLGF and VEGF-B, which are factors constituting the composition of the present invention, are members of the VEGF family consisting of VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, and PGF / PLGF. Similar to its members, it has vascular endothelial cell proliferation and permeabilization activities. There are three types of VEGF receptors: VEGFR-1 / Flt-1, VEGFR-2 / Flk-1 / KDR, and VEGFR-3 / Flt-4. PGF / PLGF binds only to VEGFR-1 / Flt-1 To do. VEGFR-1 / Flt-1 also binds VEGF-A and VEGF-B, but not other VEGF. VEGF-A also binds to VEGFR-2 / Flk-1 / KDR. It has been reported that VEGF-A promotes hematopoiesis and PGF / PLGF indirectly increases the number of hematopoietic stem cells by promoting SCF production by acting on the maintenance and migration of hematopoietic stem cells at the early fetal development stage (Nature Med. 8, 841-849, 2002). However, no activity has been reported that PGF / PLGF and VEGF-B directly act on hematopoietic stem cells and amplify them. In the present invention, it was discovered that PGF / PLGF and VEGF-B have a new hematopoietic stem cell amplification activity. Therefore, VEGFR-1 / Flt-, which is a receptor common to VEGF-A, VEGF-B, and PGF / PLGF. Signals mediated by 1 are thought to be involved in hematopoietic stem cell amplification.
Human PGF / PLGF has three isoforms and has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NOs: 4-6.
Human VEGF-B has two isoforms and has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NOs: 7-8.

本発明の組成物を構成する因子であるIGFBP6 (insulin-like growth factor(IGF) binding protein 6)の機能は不明である。幹細胞に関しては、IGFBP6が神経系幹細胞の細胞分化を抑制するとの報告があるが(Stem Cells Dev. 15, 407-421, 2006)、造血幹細胞への作用は報告がなく、本発明で初めて造血幹細胞への増幅作用が見出された。後述の実施例で示す通り、IGFBP6はIGFBP7/IGFBPrP1と同様に、IGF非存在下で活性があることから、IGFとの結合やそのレセプターを介さずに作用する。従って、IGFBP6のレセプターやその作用機序は不明であるが、IGFBP7/IGFBPrP1と共にIGFBP6の造血幹細胞に対する増幅活性が明らかとなった。
ヒトIGFBP6は、配列番号9で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。

The function of IGFBP6 (insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein 6), which is a factor constituting the composition of the present invention, is unknown. Regarding stem cells, there is a report that IGFBP6 suppresses cell differentiation of neural stem cells (Stem Cells Dev. 15, 407-421, 2006), but no effect on hematopoietic stem cells has been reported, and for the first time in the present invention hematopoietic stem cells. Amplifying effect was found. As shown in the examples described later, IGFBP6 is active in the absence of IGF and acts without binding to IGF or its receptor, like IGFBP7 / IGFBPrP1. Therefore, although the receptor of IGFBP6 and the mechanism of its action are unknown, the amplification activity of IGFBP6 on hematopoietic stem cells together with IGFBP7 / IGFBPrP1 was revealed.
Human IGFBP6 has the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 9.

In the present invention, any of these can be used as long as there is specific physiological activity as IGFBP6.

本発明の組成物を構成する因子であるEFEMP1の機能は不明であり、造血幹細胞との関係も過去に報告がない。唯一、Timp-3(Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3)という因子は、静止期にある造血幹細胞を細胞分裂期に入れる活性があるが(Blood 116, 4474-4482, 2010)、Timp-3はEFEMP1と結合するという報告がある(J. Biol. Chem. 279, 30469-30473, 2004)。しかしながら、本発明ではTimp-3存在下でも非存在下でもEFEMP1の活性に影響はなく、EFEMP1単独で造血幹細胞に対して増幅活性があることを見いだした。
ヒトEFEMP1には、4つのアイソフォーム(isoform)があり、配列番号10〜13で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトEFEMP1の4種のスプライスバリアントには、NM_001039348、NM_001039349、NM_004105、AH010389、NG_009098、BC098561、BC014410、AB209212、AK092854、AK290599、AK293058、AK301402、AK301531、AK312639、CR590528、CR595300、CR604757、CR607072、CR611721、CR620563、U03877等の塩基配列が登録されており、NP_001034438、NP_001034437、NP_004096、AAK11491、AAH98561、AAH14410等のアミノ酸配列、ゲノム遺伝子、変異体やスプライスバリアントも登録されている。また、マウス、ラット、ニワトリ、イヌ、ウシ、ブタ、セブラフィッシュ、アフリカゾウ、チンパンジー、パンダ、カニクイザル、人工合成遺伝子(タンパク質)等も同様に登録されている。本発明においては、EFEMP1としての特異的生理活性がある限り、これらのいずれをも利用することができる。
The function of EFEMP1, which is a factor constituting the composition of the present invention, is unknown, and there is no report on its relationship with hematopoietic stem cells. The only factor called Timp-3 (Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3) has the activity to bring hematopoietic stem cells in stationary phase into the cell division phase (Blood 116, 4474-4482, 2010). There are reports of binding (J. Biol. Chem. 279, 30469-30473, 2004). However, the present invention has found that EFEMP1 activity is not affected in the presence or absence of Timp-3, and that EFEMP1 alone has an amplifying activity on hematopoietic stem cells.
Human EFEMP1 has four isoforms and has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NOs: 10-13.
The four splice variants of human EFEMP1 include NM_001039348, NM_001039349, NM_004105, AH010389, NG_009098, BC098561, BC014410, AB209212, AK092854, AK290599, AK293058, AK301402, AK301531, AK312639, CR590528, CR595300, CR604757CR611707 , U03877, and the like, and amino acid sequences such as NP_001034438, NP_001034437, NP_004096, AAK11491, AAH98561, AAH14410, genomic genes, mutants, and splice variants are also registered. In addition, mice, rats, chickens, dogs, cows, pigs, sebrafish, African elephants, chimpanzees, pandas, cynomolgus monkeys, artificial synthetic genes (proteins), and the like are also registered. In the present invention, any of these can be used as long as it has specific physiological activity as EFEMP1.

本発明の組成物を構成する因子であるFGF(fibroblast growth factor)(繊維芽細胞増殖因子)ファミリーであるFGF8、FGF9、FGF10、FGF17、FGF19、FGF20は、過去に報告されているFGF1/aFGFとFGF2/bFGF(非特許文献2)に加えて、今回新たに造血幹細胞に対する増幅活性を持つことを発見した。一般にFGFは胚発生、創傷治癒、血管形成に関与し、骨、神経、血管組織への細胞分化を促進するが、今回発見した何れのFGFメンバーも、造血幹細胞に対する作用は報告が全くなく、今回初めて造血幹細胞を増幅させる活性の報告に至った。
FGFのレセプターには、FGFR1/CD331、FGFR2/CD332、FGFR3/CD333、FGFR4/CD334の4種が知られており、過去に報告されたFGF1/aFGF、FGF2/bFGF、FGF4に共通して強く結合するレセプターとして、FGFR3c及びFGFR4aがある。今回発見した6種のFGFメンバーもFGFR3c及びFGFR4aの両方又は何れかに強く結合することから、これらのレセプターを介したシグナルが造血幹細胞の増幅に関与していると考えられる。
ヒトFGF8には、4つのアイソフォーム(isoform)があり、配列番号14〜17で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトFGF9は、配列番号18で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトFGF10は、配列番号19で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトFGF17には、2つのアイソフォーム(isoform)があり、配列番号20〜21で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトFGF19は、配列番号22で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
ヒトFGF20は、配列番号23で表されるアミノ酸配列を有する。
The FGF (fibroblast growth factor) family, FGF8, FGF9, FGF10, FGF17, FGF19, and FGF20, which are factors constituting the composition of the present invention, have been reported in the past as FGF1 / aFGF. In addition to FGF2 / bFGF (Non-patent Document 2), the present inventors have newly discovered that it has amplification activity against hematopoietic stem cells. In general, FGF is involved in embryogenesis, wound healing, and blood vessel formation, and promotes cell differentiation into bone, nerve, and vascular tissue, but none of the FGF members discovered this time has been reported to have any effect on hematopoietic stem cells. For the first time, the activity of amplifying hematopoietic stem cells was reported.
There are four known FGF receptors, FGFR1 / CD331, FGFR2 / CD332, FGFR3 / CD333, and FGFR4 / CD334, and they bind strongly to FGF1 / aFGF, FGF2 / bFGF, and FGF4 reported in the past. Examples of receptors that can be used include FGFR3c and FGFR4a. The six FGF members discovered this time are strongly bound to either or both of FGFR3c and FGFR4a, and thus signals through these receptors are thought to be involved in the amplification of hematopoietic stem cells.
Human FGF8 has four isoforms and has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NOs: 14-17.
Human FGF9 has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 18.
Human FGF10 has the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 19.

The following examples illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the invention.
In the following examples, the total cell number was measured with a hematocytometer. The whole cell amplification factor is expressed as a change (magnification) of the total number of cells before and after amplification. The amplification ratio is expressed as the ratio of the total number of cells amplified by adding a factor to the total number of cells (when cultured with only SCF). Regarding the ratio of stem cells, the whole amplified cells were reacted with FITC-labeled CD34 antibody and PE-labeled CD133 antibody, and the ratio of hematopoietic stem cells (CD34 positive cells) in the total cells by flow cytometer (Millipore easyCyte5) ( %) Was measured. The stem cell amplification factor represents the amplification factor of the number of hematopoietic stem cells amplified outside the body with respect to the number of hematopoietic stem cells before culture. Amplification magnification, amplification ratio, etc. showed average values in three experiments, with an error of about ± 20%.

ヒト臍帯血CD34陽性細胞(Lonza社製、フローサイトメーター(FACS)解析で純度97%以上であることを確認)を造血幹細胞として用いた。無血清培地(StemCell Technologies社製StemSpan SFEM)に、ヒトSCF(Peprotech社)(20 ng/ml)を添加した。これに、ヒトIGFBP6(R&D Systems社)、ヒトPGF/PLGF(Peprotech社)、ヒトVEGF-B(Peprotech社)、ヒトEFEMP1(OriGene Technologies社)、ヒトIL31(Peprotech社)、ヒトFGF8(Peprotech社)、ヒトFGF9(Peprotech社)、ヒトFGF10(Peprotech社)、ヒトFGF17(Peprotech社)、ヒトFGF19(Peprotech社)、又はヒトFGF20(Peprotech社)を各100 ng/mlの濃度で添加した培地を準備した。FGFファミリーを添加した場合には、ヘパリン(1μg/ml)も添加した。
96穴プレート1穴に、上記各培地200μlにCD34陽性細胞を2.0〜6.0×104細胞(1.0〜3.0×105細胞/ml)を混ぜて、5%CO2、37℃で培養開始した。同じ成分を含む新鮮培地で適時部分交換し、48穴プレートに移し容量を増やしながら2週間培養した。
結果を表1に示す。
Human umbilical cord blood CD34 positive cells (manufactured by Lonza, confirmed to have a purity of 97% or more by flow cytometer (FACS) analysis) were used as hematopoietic stem cells. Human SCF (Peprotech) (20 ng / ml) was added to a serum-free medium (StemSpan SFEM manufactured by StemCell Technologies). Human IGFBP6 (R & D Systems), human PGF / PLGF (Peprotech), human VEGF-B (Peprotech), human EFEMP1 (OriGene Technologies), human IL31 (Peprotech), human FGF8 (Peprotech) Preparation of medium supplemented with human FGF9 (Peprotech), human FGF10 (Peprotech), human FGF17 (Peprotech), human FGF19 (Peprotech), or human FGF20 (Peprotech) at a concentration of 100 ng / ml did. When the FGF family was added, heparin (1 μg / ml) was also added.

表1から、SCF存在下で、造血幹細胞は今回新たに発見したIGFBP6、IL31、PGF/PLGF、VEGF-B、EFEMP1、FGF8、FGF9、FGF10、FGF17、FGF19、FGF20の何れに因子の添加によっても、SCF単独と比較して全細胞の増幅倍率が増えることが分かる。造血幹細胞(CD34細胞)の割合はSCF単独とほぼ同じであり、結果として造血幹細胞の増幅倍率もSCF単独と比較して増加することが分かる。特に、SCF単独添加の場合に比べた増幅比が1.3以上、特に1.4以上の因子が好ましい。   From Table 1, in the presence of SCF, hematopoietic stem cells can be obtained by adding factors to any of the newly discovered IGFBP6, IL31, PGF / PLGF, VEGF-B, EFEMP1, FGF8, FGF9, FGF10, FGF17, FGF19, and FGF20. It can be seen that the amplification factor of all cells increases compared to SCF alone. It can be seen that the ratio of hematopoietic stem cells (CD34 cells) is almost the same as that of SCF alone, and as a result, the amplification factor of hematopoietic stem cells is also increased compared to that of SCF alone. In particular, a factor having an amplification ratio of 1.3 or more, particularly 1.4 or more, compared to the case of adding SCF alone is preferable.
