Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel medical application for use in regenerative medicine that uses pluripotent stem cells (Muse cells). The present invention provides a cell preparation for treating myocardial infarction, and particularly serious massive myocardial infarction and heart failure associated therewith, that contains pluripotent stem cells positive for SSEA-3 isolated from biological mesenchymal tissue or cultured mesenchymal cells. The cell preparation of the present invention is based on a cardiac tissue regeneration mechanism by which Muse cells are made to selectively accumulate in damaged myocardial tissue and differentiate into cardiac muscle in that tissue as a result of intravenous administration of Muse cells to a subject presenting with the aforementioned disorders.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to identify a migratory factor that guides pluripotent stem cells (Muse cells) useful in new medical applications to damage, and to provide a pharmaceutical composition that includes the migratory factor for promoting tissue regeneration in regenerative medicine that makes use of Muse cells. In the present invention, a receptor that is specifically expressed in Muse cells rather than non-Muse cells was identified, and it was confirmed that a ligand for this receptor can function as a migratory factor. In the present invention, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) was identified as a migratory factor, and thus, the present invention pertains to a pharmaceutical composition for guiding pluripotent stem cells to damage, the composition including S1P as an active ingredient.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel medical application to regenerative medicine that uses pluripotent stem cells (Muse cells). The present invention provides a cell preparation for treating chronic kidney disease that contains SSEA-3-positive pluripotent stem cells isolated from mesenchymal tissue in the body or cultured mesenchymal cells. The cell preparation of the present invention is based on a renal tissue regeneration mechanism by which Muse cells are made to selectively accumulate at a site of kidney disease and differentiate into cells that compose the kidney by administering Muse cells intravenously to a subject having the aforementioned disease.
