Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, the composition comprising, as an active ingredient, human nasal inferior turbinate-derived stem cells in which the expression of specific genes is increased or decreased. The human nasal inferior turbinate-derived stem cells exhibiting a therapeutic effect on arthritis were identified to specifically have an increased expression level of HAS2, CXCL1, or KRTAP1-5 gene or a decreased expression level of GSTT2B or C4B gene. Thus, by taking advantage of this feature, only stem cells that have a therapeutic effect on arthritis can be selected for use in treating rheumatoid arthritis, with the expectation of enhancing the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, it is expected that a method for selecting stem cells useful as a therapeutic agent for rheumatoid arthritis can be provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cell selection apparatus and method and, in particular, may provide an apparatus that classifies cells by using artificial intelligence, on the basis of the homogeneity of cells from an image pre-processed from image data obtained by capturing images of cells, and marks parts that have an important influence on the classification results, thereby increasing the accuracy of cell selection. In addition, a reliable selection basis can be provided by visualizing the basis for cell selection.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for inhibiting a STAT3 activity comprising administering SSu72 protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating rheumatoid arthritis, and a stem cell therapeutic agent for treating rheumatoid arthritis, comprising nasal inferior turbinate-derived mesenchymal stem cells as an active ingredient. Nasal inferior turbinate-derived mesenchymal stem cells of the present invention have the effects of reducing the production of interleukin-17A (IL-17A), tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2a) which is an inflammation-inducing factor, and/or the proliferative ability of lymph node T cells, increasing interleukin-10 (IL-10) and/or regulatory T-cells (Treg, CD4+CD25+foxp3+ cell) that contribute to immune tolerance in spleen cells, and inhibiting the proliferation of human T-cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel complex that is formed by linking p40 subunit and EBI3 subunit via a linker and has excellent anti-inflammatory effects and immunomodulatory effects.

Abstract: Disclosed are a novel Bifidobacterium longum RAPO (Accession No.: KCTC 13773BP) and a composition for alleviating, treating or preventing rheumatoid arthritis containing Bifidobacterium longum RAPO (Accession No.: KCTC 13773BP) selected herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for inhibiting a STAT3 activity, and a method for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Abstract: Disclosed are a novel Bifidobacterium longum RAPO (Accession No.: KCTC 13773BP) and a composition for alleviating, treating or preventing rheumatoid arthritis containing Bifidobacterium longum RAPO (Accession No.: KCTC 13773BP) selected herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of preventing rheumatoid arthritis comprising administering a polynucleotide encoding Ssu72.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing or treating an autoimmune disease, in which the composition includes Ssu72 as an active ingredient. According to the present invention, Ssu72 has an effect of effectively inhibiting STAT3 activity, thereby effectively preventing and treating, ultimately, an immune disease, and preferably, STAT3-mediated diseases through an action capable of inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines when Ssu72 is overexpressed and simultaneously promoting the expression of IL-4 and IL-10, which are factors associated with immunoregulatory T cells.
