Summary for Patent: 10,000,554
Title:Modified laminin containing collagen binding molecule and use thereof
Abstract: A modified laminin characterized in that a laminin or a heterotrimeric laminin fragment has a collagen binding molecule conjugated to at least one site selected from the .alpha. chain N-terminus, the .beta. chain N-terminus and the .gamma. chain N-terminus, and an extracellular-matrix material comprising the modified laminin, and collagen and/or gelatin serve as an alternative to Matrigel and are useful as an extracellular-matrix material for the formation of a safe three-dimensional tissue structure for regenerative medicine in humans.

Application Number:14/758,061
Patent Claims:1. A modified laminin wherein at least one of the .alpha. chain N-terminus, the .beta. chain N-terminus and the .gamma. chain N-terminus of a heterotrimeric laminin E8 fragment is fused with a collagen binding molecule, wherein the heterotrimeric laminin E8 fragment has integrin binding activity, and wherein the collagen binding molecule is selected from the group consisting of: (a) fibronectin or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (b) collagenase or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (c) integrin .alpha.1 chain or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (d) integrin .alpha.2 chain or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (e) integrin .alpha.10 chain or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (f) integrin .alpha.11 chain or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (g) platelet glycoprotein VI or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (h) discoidin domain receptor 1 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (i) discoidin domain receptor 2 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (l) mannose receptor or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (k) phospholipase A2 receptor or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (l) DEC205 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (m) Endol80 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (n) von Willebrand factor or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (o) MMP-2 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (p) MMP-9 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, (q) leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof, and (r) leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 2 or a fragment having a collagen binding domain thereof.

2. The modified laminin according to claim 1, wherein the heterotrimeric laminin E8 fragment has the collagen binding molecules conjugated to two or more sites selected from the .alpha. chain N-terminus, the .beta. chain N-terminus and the .gamma. chain N-terminus.

3. The modified laminin according to claim 1, wherein the heterotrimeric laminin E8 fragment consists of one kind of E8 fragment of .alpha. chain selected from .alpha.1 to .alpha.5, one kind of E8 fragment of .beta. chain selected from .beta.1 to .beta.3, and one kind of E8 fragment of .gamma. chain selected from .gamma.1 to .gamma.3.

4. The modified laminin according to claim 3, wherein the heterotrimeric laminin E8 fragment is laminin .alpha.5.beta.1.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.3.beta.3.gamma.2 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.1.beta.1.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.1.beta.2.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.2.beta.1.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.2.beta.2.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.3.beta.1.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.3.beta.2.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.4.beta.1.gamma.1 E8 fragment, laminin .alpha.4.beta.2.gamma.1 E8 fragment, or laminin .alpha.5.beta.2.gamma.1 E8 fragment.

5. An extracellular-matrix material comprising the modified laminin according to claim 1, and collagen and/or gelatin.

6. A culture substrate coated with the modified laminin according to claim 1, and collagen and/or gelatin.

7. A scaffold comprising the modified laminin according to claim 1, and collagen and/or gelatin.

8. A method for culturing mammalian cells comprising culturing the cells in the presence of the modified laminin according to claim 1, and collagen and/or gelatin.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the mammalian cells are embryonic stem (ES) cells, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells or somatic stem cells.
