  • Publication number: 20230405050
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating infectious diseases, comprising, as an active ingredient, exosomes derived from thrombin-treated stem cells; a pharmaceutical formulation containing same; and a preparation method therefor. The present inventors specifically have identified that exosomes isolated from thrombin-treated stem cells significantly reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines under inflammatory conditions, and thus it is expected that the exosomes derived from thrombin-treated stem cells, according to the present invention, can be effectively used in related fields for the purpose of alleviating or treating various infectious diseases caused by immune responses or inflammatory responses induced through infection.

  • Patent number: 11833176
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), comprising thrombin-treated stem cells or exosomes derived therefrom as an active ingredient, and a method for producing the same. According to the present invention, the thrombin-treated stem cell or the exosome derived therefrom has an increased expression of growth factors, immunoregulatory factors, antioxidation factors, or regeneration factors compared to a group not treated with thrombin and also enhances a neuronal apoptosis inhibitory effect, and thus has an advantage in that the therapeutic effect thereof on neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is excellent.

  • Patent number: 10723997
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating chronic pulmonary disease, a pharmaceutical formulation containing the same, and a method for preparing the same, the composition comprising as an active ingredient an exosome derived from thrombin-treated stem cells. The therapeutic agent is advantageous in that since the therapeutic agent is a cell-free preparation, the risk of carcinogenesis is low and there is no problem of transplant rejection reaction, and furthermore, there is no possibility of causing the occlusion of the microvascular system upon systemic administration, and since the therapeutic agent is a non-cell separating material, it is possible to develop a pharmaceutical agent as an off-the-shelf product, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost, and the therapeutic agent has an excellent therapeutic effect for chronic pulmonary disease with a low concentration of exosome by virtue of the thrombin treatment effect.

  • Publication number: 20190314469
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an exosome derived from a thrombin-treated stem cell as an effective ingredient for preventing or treating a skin wound, a pharmaceutical formulation containing the same, and a production method thereof. Being a cell-free agent, an exosome-based therapeutic agent of the present disclosure has a low risk of carcinogenesis and no problems of graft rejection as well as being little liable to occur microvascular obstruction. The agent, which is not a cell, but a material isolated from a cell, can be subjected to medication development into an off-the-shelf product which allows for the reduction of production cost. The agent has the advantage of exhibiting outstanding angiogenesis and skin wound treatment effects even at a low concentration of exosomes thanks to the thrombin treatment effect.

  • Publication number: 20190070223
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a selection method of a highly active stem cell for treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, comprising a step of measuring a level of a neurotrophic factor, and a highly active stem cell selected thereby. According to the present invention, BDNF secreted by mesenchymal stem cells mediate inhibitory effects on cell death, inflammation, astrogliosis, and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and plays a very important role in improving myelination after intraventricular hemorrhage. Hence, the method according to the present invention can be usefully applied to the treatment of various cerebrovascular diseases including intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants.
