《Expert opinion on therapeutic patents》2013,23(3):347-352
Issued US patents are utilised to describe the history of tissue engineering by implantation of dissociated cells in polymeric matrices. The history begins with patents issuing on applications filed in the late 1970s by Drs Yannas and Bell, who later founded Organogenesis. Next, the pivotal role of the technology developed by Drs Joseph Vacanti and Robert Langer is discussed, then the stromal cell matrices of Dr Gail Naughton, who founded Advance Tissue Sciences. The formation of businesses and product development is briefly correlated with the patents. Additional developments as described in the patents relate to methods for making polymeric matrices, methods for modifying polymers to interact with and modify the cellular interactions with the matrices, including cell attachment, differentiation and proliferation, and more recent advances specific to developments with stem cells and genetically engineered cells. 相似文献

Stem cells can both self-renew and differentiate into various cell types under certain conditions, which makes them a good model for development and disease studies. Recently, chemical approaches have been widely applied in stem cell biology by promoting stem cell self-renewal, proliferation, differentiation and somatic cell reprogramming using specific small molecules. Conversely, stem cells and their derivatives also provide an efficient and robust platform for small molecule and drug screening. Here, we review the current research and applications of small molecules that modulate stem cell self-renewal and differentiation and improve reprogramming, as well as the applications that use stem cells as a tool for small molecule screening. Moreover, we introduce the recent advance in haploid embryonic stem cells research. Haploid embryonic stem cells maintain haploidy and stable growth over extensive passages, possess the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro and in vivo, and contribute to the germlines of chimeras when injected into blastocysts. Androgenetic haploid stem cells can also be used in place of sperm to produce fertile progeny after intracytoplasmic injection into mature oocytes. Such characteristics demonstrate that haploid stem cells are a new approach for genetic studies at both the cellular and animal levels and that they are a valuable platform for future small molecule screening. 相似文献

Cyclophosphamide, the precursor to the active 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, is used in active glomerulonephritis despite limited pharmacokinetics data. The pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide were evaluated. The influence of laboratory and pharmacogenomic covariates on pharmacokinetics was evaluated as a secondary aim.METHODS
Glomerulonephritis patients (n = 23) participated in a pharmacokinetic evaluation. Blood was serially collected and assayed for cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide by LC/MS methods. Kidney function, serum albumin and polymorphisms in drug metabolism or transport genes were evaluated. Analyses included non-compartmental pharmacokinetics and parametric and non-parametric statistics.RESULTS
The mean area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC(0,∞)) data were 110 100 ± 42 900 ng ml−1 h and 5388 ± 2841 ng ml−1 h for cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, respectively. The mean metabolic ratio was 0.06 ± 0.04. A statistically significant relationship was found between increased serum albumin and increased half-life (0.584, P = 0.007, 95% CI 0.176, 0.820) and a borderline relationship with AUC(0,∞) (0.402, P = 0.079, 95% CI –0.064, 0.724) for 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide. Covariate relationships that trended toward significance for cyclophosphamide included decreased serum albumin and increased elimination rate constant (–0.427, P = 0.061, 95% CI 0.738, 0.034), increased urinary protein excretion and increased AUC(0,∞) (–0.392, P = 0.064, 95% CI –0.699 to 0.037), decreased Cmax (0.367, P = 0.085, 95% CI –0.067, 0.684) and decreased plasma clearance (–0.392, P = 0.064, 95% CI –0.699, 0.037). CYP2B6*9 variants vs. wildtype were found to have decreased elimination rate constant (P = 0.0005, 95% CI 0.033, 0.103), increased Vd (P = 0.0271, 95% CI −57.5, −4.2) and decreased Cmax (P = 0.0176, 95% CI 0.696, 6179) for cyclophosphamide. ABCB1 C3435T variants had a borderline decrease in cyclophosphamide elimination rate constant (P = 0.0858; 95% CI –0.005, 0.102).CONCLUSIONS
Pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide in patients with lupus nephritis and small vessel vasculitis are similar. Clinical and pharmacogenetic covariates alter disposition of cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide. Clinical findings of worsened glomerulonephritis lead to increased exposure to cyclophosphamide vs. the active 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, which could have relevance in terms of clinical efficacy. The CYP2B6*9 and ABCB1 C3435T polymorphisms alter the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide in glomerulonephritis. 相似文献7.

Recent years have seen a growing interest in drug-delivery technology as an enabling tool for complicated pharmacological activities. At the same time, this field has faced as many challenges as successes in translating novel ideas into clinical benefits. The Laboratory for Therapeutic Particles and Biomaterials Engineering at Purdue University (IN, USA) has striven to identify the current challenges in drug delivery and find solutions through the design of new drug-delivery systems. We develop new inhalable formulations for drug and gene delivery for cystic fibrosis patients, simple particle platforms for inhalable drug delivery, anion-resistant nonviral gene vectors, tumor-targeted nanoparticle systems, and hydrogel-based therapeutics. Through expanded collaborations with researchers in medicine and related disciplines, we strive to contribute to advancing the drug delivery field in a clinically relevant manner. 相似文献

Tissue engineering via local gene delivery: update and future prospects for enhancing the technology 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Bonadio J 《Advanced drug delivery reviews》2000,44(2-3):185-194
This review describes the status of a local plasmid-based gene transfer technology known as the gene activated matrix (GAM). Studies over the past 6 years suggest that GAM may serve as a platform technology for local gene delivery in the wound bed of various tissues and organs. These studies demonstrated that plasmid encoding genes can be delivered to acutely injured tendon, ligament, bone, muscle, skin and nerve. Moreover, direct in vivo transfer of therapeutic plasmid encoding genes in bone, skin and nerve was associated with a significant regenerative response relative to sham controls. The review also describes new technology that should enhance the potential of local gene delivery in a manner consistent with the risk-benefit profile associated with tissue engineering applications. 相似文献

Studies on the lymphatic endothelium have been hampered by the difficulty to identify lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and to distinguish them from blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs). The situation was greatly improved by the identification of molecules with high specificity for LECs. A great deal of progress in the field of lymphangiogenesis research has been due to the detection of lymphangiogenic growth factors and their receptors, and there is growing evidence that these molecules are also involved in tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic dissemination of tumor cells. There is a considerable spectrum of congenital and acquired lymphedema-lymphangiodysplasia syndromes ranging from primary aplasia, hypoplasia and hyperplasia to secondary (acquired) obstructive, obliterative and surgical hindrance of lymph drainage. Consequently, there are a number of clinical applications for therapeutics that either inhibit or induce lymphangiogenesis. Although natural lymphatic regeneration is mostly very efficient, engineering of LECs may be useful in cases of lymphatic aplasia or hypoplasia. To achieve these goals, studies on the embryonic development and differentiation of LECs will reveal the key regulatory factors that need to be targeted. 相似文献

The present report describes an investigation of differences in transtheoretical model constructs between 275 smokers with any medical illness, smokers with chronic illness specifically, and smokers who are medically healthy. In contrast to a previous report by Kristeller et al., we did not find higher process scores among medically ill smokers, instead finding more relapses and higher temptation scores among the medically ill smokers. Chronically ill smokers in particular reported high temptation to smoke in negative affect and habit/craving situations. Moreover, greater number of chronic illnesses was associated with increasing temptation and pros of smoking. We conclude that while medical smokers may report more quit attempts, they may have more difficulty staying quit than their healthy counterparts. Helping medically ill smoking patients to cope more effectively with highly tempting situations, to decrease perceived benefits of smoking, and to increase their use of the processes of change may lead to greater cessation success. 相似文献

Many adult tissues contain a population of stem cells that have the ability to regenerate after trauma, disease or aging. Recently, there has been great interest in mesenchymal stem cells and their roles in maintaining the physiological structure of tissues. The studies on stem cells are thought to be very important and, in fact, it has been shown that this cell population can be expanded ex vivo to regenerate tissues not only of the mesenchymal lineage, such as intervertebral disc cartilage, bone and tooth-associated tissues, but also other types of tissues. Several studies have focused on the identification of odontogenic progenitors from oral tissues, and it has been shown that the mesenchymal stem cells obtained from periodontal ligament and dental pulp could have similar morphological and phenotypical features of the bone marrow mesenchymal cells. In fact a population of homogeneous human mesenchymal stem cells derived from periodontal ligament and dental pulp, and proliferating in culture with a well-spread morphology, can be recovered and characterized. Since these cells are considered as candidates for regenerative medicine, the knowledge of the cell differentiation mechanisms is imperative for the development of predictable techniques in implant dentistry, oral surgery and maxillo-facial reconstruction. Thus, future research efforts might be focused on the potential use of this cell population in tissue engineering. Further studies will be carried out to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in their maintenance and differentiation in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Objective: Little consensus exists regarding the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and substance use. This study examined the associations of three indicators of family SES during childhood-income, wealth, and parental education-with smoking, alcohol use, and marijuana use during young adulthood. Method: Data were obtained from the national Panel Study of Income Dynamics, a survey of U.S. families that incorporates data from parents and their children. In 2005 and 2007, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics was supplemented with two waves of Transition into Adulthood data drawn from a national sample of young adults, 18-23 years old. Data from the young adults (N = 1,203; 66.1% White; 51.5% female) on their current use of alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana were used as outcome variables in logistic regressions. Socioeconomic background was calculated from parental reports of education, wealth, and income during the respondent's childhood (birth through age 17 years). Results: Smoking in young adulthood was associated with lower childhood family SES, although the association was explained by demographic and social role covariates. Alcohol use and marijuana use in young adulthood were associated with higher childhood family SES, even after controlling for covariates. Conclusions: Findings based on three indicators of family background SES-income, wealth, and parental education-converged in describing unique patterns for smoking and for alcohol and marijuana use among young adults, although functional relationships across SES measures varied. Young adults with the highest family background SES were most prone to alcohol and marijuana use. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 73, 772-782, 2012). 相似文献

With few exceptions, drugs exert their effects not within the plasma compartment, but in the defined target tissues. The process of drug distribution to the active site constitutes the "link-bridge" of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship. In spite of the importance of drug distribution as a key factor in determining pharmacologic response, research on drug distribution has historically received much less attention than that of absorption, metabolism, and excretion. The negligence of research on drug distribution is due mainly to the inaccessibility of the target tissues for obvious ethical reasons. In addition, lack of reliable experimental tools to assess the distribution process is also a major contributing factor. Because of this negligence, drug distribution has been referred to as "the forgotten relative in clinical pharmacokinetics." Although recent advances in molecular biology have led to the identification of many drug transporters, many of the processes of drug distribution are still not fully understood. The primary aim of this article is to provide new insight into the mechanisms of drug distribution, with an attempt to describe the relationship between the drug distribution and pharmacologic response. In addition, the factors that affect the processes of drug distribution will also be reviewed. Also, validity of some key assumptions that are used to relate the processes of tissue distribution with pharmacologic activity will be discussed. 相似文献

Circulating tumor cells (CTC) harvested from peripheral blood have received significant interest as sources for serial sampling to gauge treatment efficacy. Nanotechnology and microfluidic based approaches are emerging to facilitate such analyses. While of considerable clinical importance, there is little information on how similar or different CTCs are from their shedding bulk tumors. In this clinical study, paired tumor fine needle aspirate and peripheral blood samples were obtained from cancer patients during image-guided biopsy. Using targeted magnetic nanoparticles and a point-of-care micro-NMR system, we compared selected biomarkers (EpCAM, EGFR, HER-2 and vimentin) in both CTC and fine needle biopsies of solid epithelial cancers. We show a weak correlation between each paired sample, suggesting that use of CTC as “liquid biopsies” and proxies to metastatic solid lesions could be misleading.From the Clinical EditorIn this clinical study, paired tumor fine needle aspirate and peripheral blood samples were obtained from patients with solid epithelial cancers during image-guided biopsy.
