USE ADIPOSE TISSUE-DERIVED REGENERATIVE CELLS IN THE MODULATION OF INFLAMMATION IN THE PANCREAS AND IN THE KIDNEY
Aspects of the present invention relate to the field of medicine, specifically, the effect of adipose tissue and its components on modulating inflammation.
1 . A method for reducing an inflammatory response in a mammal in need thereof comprising providing to said mammal an amount of a concentrated population of adipose derived regenerative cells sufficient to reduce the amount of a marker for inflammation in said mammal.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said marker for inflammation is IL-3, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, a Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2), or macrophage infiltration.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adipose derived regenerative cells are CD14 positive.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adipose derived regenerative cells are CD11b positive.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mammal has a pancreatic disorder or a kidney disorder.
6 . Use of a therapeutically effective amount of a concentrated population of adipose derived regenerative cells to prepare a medicament for the reduction of inflammation, wherein said concentrated population of cells is to be administered to a patient in need thereof without culturing the cells before administering them to the patient.
7 . The use of claim 6 , wherein the adipose derived regenerative cells are CD14 positive.
8 . The use of claim 6 , wherein the adipose derived regenerative cells are CD11b positive.
9 . The use of claim 6 , wherein the mammal has a pancreatic disorder or a kidney disorder.
10 . A method of ameliorating pancreatitis or a condition associated therewith comprising:
selecting a patient that has pancreatitis;
administering to said patient a therapeutically effective amount of a concentrated population of adipose derived regenerative cells, wherein said concentrated population of cells is administered to said patient without culturing the cells before administration; and optionally, measuring the response of said patient before and/or after receiving said concentrated population of adipose-derived regenerative cells.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein a marker for inflammation selected from the group consisting of IL-3, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, a Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2), and macrophage infiltration is measured before and/or after receiving said concentrated population of adipose-derived regenerative cells.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the adipose derived regenerative cells are CD14 positive.
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the adipose derived regenerative cells are CD11b positive.
14 . Use of a therapeutically effective amount of a concentrated population of adipose derived regenerative cells to prepare a medicament for the treatment of pancreatitis, wherein said concentrated population of cells is to be administered to a patient in need thereof without culturing the cells before administering them to the patient.
15 . The use of claim 14 , wherein the adipose derived regenerative cells are CD14 positive or CD11b positive.
