- MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded in ⁇ -MEM medium in a 24-well culture plate, and ECP (final concentration: lng, 10 ng, lOOng or l / g / ml), BMP-4 (lOOng / ml) or WGF (lOOng / l ml) was added. After 72 hours, the cells were washed twice with a ⁇ Tris-HCl (pH 7.2) solution and lysed with a 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.2) solution containing 0.13 ⁇ 4 Triton-XlOO.
- the cell lysate was sonicated for 15 seconds to disrupt the cells, and 100 l of the cell lysate and a substrate solution (4 mg / ml p-nitorophenyl phosphate) adjusted to ⁇ .5 with 0.1 M aminomethylpropanol And 2IDM MgCl 2 ) 100 1 were mixed and reacted at 37 for 30 minutes.
- the reaction was stopped with 0.5 M NaOH, and the absorbance at 410 nm was measured. The obtained value was divided by the total protein amount of the cell lysate to calculate the specific activity.
- the results are as shown in FIG. The effect of each additive component was shown with the control set as 100%.
- ECP was added at lng / ml, ALP activity equivalent to or higher than that of BMP-4, a type of osteoinductive factor, was obtained.
- the invention of this application provides a therapeutic composition based on the novel physiological activity of ECP, and provides heart disease, bone disease and neurodegeneration caused by abnormal cell survival, proliferation and Z or differentiation. A new way is opened for treatment of diseases and the like. Also provided is a medium composition for extending the survival time of cultured cells, promoting growth and promoting Z or differentiation. In addition, means are provided for identifying novel factors that promote cell survival, proliferation and Z or differentiation, allowing the development of more effective therapeutic compositions.
