Abstract: Provided is a method for altering a targeted site of a DNA in a cell, including a step of stimulating the cell with a factor inducing a DNA modifying enzyme endogenous to the cell, and bringing a complex of a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module specifically binding to a target nucleotide sequence in a given DNA and a DNA modifying enzyme-binding module bonded to each other into contact with the DNA to convert one or more nucleotides in the targeted site to other one or more nucleotides or delete one or more nucleotides, or insert one or more nucleotides into the targeted site.

Abstract: The present application provides: a technique for promoting hyaluronic acid synthesis by hyaluronic acid-producing cells; a method for evaluating the responsiveness of hyaluronic acid-producing cells to a compound; or a method for evaluating the responsiveness of a polysaccharide derivative represented by formula 1 in the description or a salt thereof to hyaluronic acid-producing cells. By bringing a polysaccharide derivative represented by formula 1 in the description or a salt thereof into contact with hyaluronic acid-producing cells, promotion of hyaluronic acid synthesis is achieved in the hyaluronic acid-producing cells. Further, by using the polysaccharide derivative or a salt thereof for hyaluronic acid-producing cells, the responsiveness of the hyaluronic acid-producing cells can be evaluated using the production of hyaluronic acid as an index.

Abstract: The present invention provides a glycosaminoglycan derivative in which a group derived from glycosaminoglycan and a group derived from a physiologically active substance having at least one of a carboxy group and a hydroxy group are coupled by covalent bond with a spacer therebetween, in which the spacer is selected in accordance with the decomposition rate of the covalent bond to the group derived from the physiologically active substance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection solution for intra-articular administration for treating arthritic disorders comprising a cross-linked hyaluronic acid derivative wherein part of functional groups of a hyaluronic acid are cross-linked with a cross-linking group to the extent of 0.6 to 15% of cross-linking extent as an active ingredient in an amount having a long-lasting analgesic effect and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and an analgesic composition for suppressing a cartilage degeneration caused by arthritic disorders or a composition for suppressing a cartilage degeneration or an inflammation of synovium caused by arthritic disorders each comprising the cross-linked hyaluronic acid derivative and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A hyaluronic acid derivative in which an anti-inflammatory drug is bound to hyaluronic acid through a covalent bond via a spacer having a biodegradable region, and a production process thereof.
