Ocular treatment method using msc-derived fibronectin composition
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919942B2) discloses a method for treating ocular conditions using a composition containing fibronectin (FN), specifically mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived FN. The method involves administering the composition, which excludes various components such as xenobiotic components, peptides, and biomolecules less than 3 kDa, to a subject in need of treatment. The FN can be MSC-secreted or cellular FN, with the latter being non-covalently attached to growth factors like Extra Domain A+ (EDA+) and Extra Domain B+ (EDB+). The composition may also include growth factors such as fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to aid in the treatment process.
Furthermore, the patent outlines specific concentrations of FN and other components in the composition, along with the inclusion of tonicity modifying agents like NaCl and mannitol. The method can be administered through topical application or subconjunctival injection and is targeted towards various ocular conditions such as ocular wounds, damaged corneal surfaces, and dry eye disease. Importantly, the composition excludes certain substances like insulin and hydrocortisone, as well as animal serum and non-exosome debris. This innovative method offers a promising approach to effectively treating a range of ocular conditions by utilizing MSC-derived FN and carefully curated components to enhance therapeutic outcomes while minimizing potential side effects.
