Abstract:
This invention relates to stem cell microparticles, their use and production, in particular neural stem cell microparticles and their use in therapy. The stem cell microparticle is typically an exosome or microvesicle and may be derived from a neural stem cell line. The neural stem cell line may be a conditionally-immortalised stem cell line such as CTX0E03 (deposited at the ECACC with Accession No. 04091601).
Abstract:
This invention relates to stem cell microparticles and miRNA isolated from these microparticles, their use and production thereof, in particular neural stem cell microparticles and their use in therapy of a disease or condition involving unwanted or undesirable cell migration. The stem cell microparticle is typically an exosome or microvesicle and may be derived from a neural stem cell line. The neural stem cell line may be a conditionally-immortalised stem cell line such as CTX0E03 (deposited at the ECACC with Accession No. 04091601).

Abstract:
The invention relates to induced pluripotent stem cells that are generated from cells, for example Adult Stem Cells, that are conditionally-immortalisable. In particular, the invention relates to induced pluripotent stem cells generated from stem cell lines comprising a controllable transgene for conditional immortalisation, and the progeny of those induced pluripotent stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells, progeny cells derived from those pluripotent cells, compositions comprising those cells, methods of making all of those cells, and uses of all of those cells are also described.
Abstract:
The invention is based on the finding that microparticles can be produced by conditionally-immortalised cells. The conditionally-immortalised cells may be stem cells. The Examples show the successful harvest of microparticles from conditionally immortalised neural stem cells and CD34+ cells. Conditional immortalisation provides a constant supply of clonal cells that produce microparticles such as exosomes. The conditionally immortalised cells are useful as “producer cells” for microparticles such as exosomes, which are typically harvested or isolated from the conditionally-immortalised cells.
Abstract:
The subject invention pertains to methods to enhance the therapeutic effects of cellular or drug treatment in various diseases and disorders. More particularly, the present invention provides methods of treating disorders by administering CTX0E03 cells to the patient, intravenously or intraarterially. The treatment is useful for neurodegenerative diseases, such as stroke. The CTX0E03 cells may be cryopreserved and/or passaged before administration into the patient. Administration of the CTX0E03 cells into stroke rat models was at or within 48 hours after stroke. Testing of the rat models through elevated body swing test to measure of neurobehavioral status at the time of transplant and repeated triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining as a measure of infarct volume showed short term survival that provided significant protection from the stroke.
Abstract:
This invention relates to stem cell microparticles and miRNA isolated from these microparticles, their use and production thereof, in particular neural stem cell microparticles and their use in therapy of cancer, typically a nestin-positive cancer. The cancer may be glioma, melanoma, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer or prostate cancer. The stem cell microparticle is typically an exosome or microvesicle and may be derived from a neural stem cell line. The neural stem cell line may be a conditionally-immortalized stem cell line such as CTX0E03 (deposited at the ECACC with Accession No. 04091601).
