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 <3 kDa, to a subject in need of treatment. The FN can be MSC-secreted or cellular FN, with the cellular FN potentially being Extra Domain A+ (EDA+) and/or Extra Domain B+. The composition may also include growth factors like fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to aid in the treatment of conditions such as ocular wounds, neovascularization, and dry eye disease.
Furthermore, the patent outlines specific concentrations and formulations of the composition, including the addition of tonicity modifying agents like NaCl and mannitol. The method allows for the administration of the composition through topical application or subconjunctival injection, targeting a range of ocular conditions such as damaged corneal surfaces, retina conditions, and persistent corneal epithelial defects. Importantly, the composition excludes components like insulin and hydrocortisone, focusing on the therapeutic potential of MSC-derived FN in treating ocular ailments while avoiding potentially harmful additives like animal serum and non-exosome debris. This patent highlights a novel approach to ocular treatment utilizing the regenerative properties of MSC-derived FN in a carefully curated composition tailored for effective and safe therapeutic outcomes.
