Summary for Patent: 10,017,740
Title:Deriving brown adipose tissue cells
Abstract: The present invention relates to brown adipose tissue (BAT) cells derived from adult stern or progenitor cells, derived from adult white fat tissue (WAT), as well as to methods for deriving such cells.
Inventor(s): Tarunina; Marina (Stevenage, GB), Choo; Yen (Stevenage, GB), Jeyakumar; Mylvaganam (Stevenage, GB), Watson; Thomas (Stevenage, GB), Rosell; Meritxell (Stevenage, GB), Hook; Lilian (Stevenage, GB), Hernandez; Diana (Stevenage, GB)
Assignee: Plasticell Limited (London, GB)
Application Number:14/664,441
Patent Claims:1. A method for deriving a brown adipose tissue (BAT) cell from an adult adipose tissue derived stem cell, comprising culturing the stem cell in mesechymal stem cell growth medium, and transferring the cell to a medium comprising Rosiglitazone, Triidothyronine (T3), Dexamethasone, IBMX and BMP-7.

2. A method according to claim 1, in which the cells are not transfected with transgenes.

3. A method according to claim 1, wherein 20% or more of the adult stem cells are differentiated into BAT cells.

4. A method according to claim 3, wherein 50% or more of the adult stem cells are differentiated into BAT cells.

5. A method according to claim 1, comprising exposing the stem cell to the following media combinations: (i) MSC SFM; (ii) DMEM/F12, insulin, transferrin, BMP-7, T3, Dexamethasone, Rosiglitazone and IBMX; and optionally; (iii) DMEM/F12, insulin, transferrin, BMP-7, T3, Dexamethasone and Rosiglitazone.

6. A method according to claim 5, wherein step (iii) is repeated by refreshing the medium.

7. A method according to claim 1, wherein the cells are exposed to the media sequentially, at three-day intervals.

8. A method according to claim 1, wherein the cells are exposed to the media contemporaneously.

9. A method according to claim 1, comprising exposing the stem cell to the following media combinations: (i) MSC SFM; (ii) DMEM/F12, insulin, transferrin, BMP-7, T3, Dexamethasone, Rosiglitazone and IBMX; and (iii) DMEM/F12, insulin, transferrin, T3, Dexamethasone and Rosiglitazone.

10. A method according to claim 9, wherein steps (ii) and (iii) are repeated by refreshing the medium.
