-1- Composition for promoting growth of stem cells Comprising phytospingosine-1-phosphate or its derivatives and composition for culturing stem cells comprising the same
The present invention relates to a composition for promoting proliferation of adult stem cells, containing phytosphingosine 1-phosphate (P1P), O-cyclic P1P (cP1P), N-acetyl phytosphingosine-1-phosphate (NAPS-1-P), and a pharmaceutically acceptable sale thereof, in addition to a base medium. The present invention further relates to a composition for culturing adult stem cells containing the same or a composition for serum-free or low serum adult stem cell culture media. When stem cells are cultured by using the composition of the present invention, it is possible to promote proliferation of stem cells and improve activities and differentiation ability, while preventing death of stem cells due to external stress.본원은 기본배지에 추가로 P1P(피토스핑고신-1-포스페이트), cP1P(O-싸이클릭 P1P), NAPS-1-P(N-아세틸피토스핑고신-1-포스페이트), 및 이들의 약학적으로 허용가능한 염을 포함하는 성제 줄기세포 증식 촉진용 조성물, 이를 포함하는 성체 줄기세포 배양 조성물 또는 무혈청 또는 저혈청 성체 줄기세포 배양배지용 조성물에 관한 것으로, 본원의 조성물을 이용하여 줄기세포를 배양하면 줄기세포 증식 촉진, 활성 및 분화능이 개선되고 외부 스트레스에 대한 줄기세포 사멸을 방지할 수 있다.
