CA 2670949

The present invention provides muscle-derived progenitor cells that show long-term survival following transplantation into body tissues and which can augment soft tissue following introduction (e.g. via injection, transplantation, or implantation) into a site of soft tissue. Also provided are methods of isolating muscle-derived progenitor cells, and methods of genetically modifying the cells for gene transfer therapy. The invention further provides methods of using compositions comprising muscle-derived progenitor cells for the augmentation and bulking of mammalian, including human, soft tissues in the treatment of various cosmetic or functional conditions, including malformation, injury, weakness, disease, or dysfunction. In particular, the present invention provides treatments and amelioration for dermatological conditions, gastroesophageal reflux, vesico-ureteral reflux, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, heart failure, and myocardial infarction.

Cette invention concerne des cellules progénitrices dérivées des muscles qui manifestent une survie à long terme après leur transplantation dans des tissus cellulaires, et qui sont capables d'augmenter les parties molles après leur introduction (par exemple par injection, transplantation ou implantation) dans un site de parties molles. L'invention propose également des procédés d'isolation des cellules progénitrices dérivées des muscles, et des procédés de modification génétique des cellules pour un traitement de transfert de gènes. Par ailleurs, l'invention propose des procédés visant à utiliser des compositions comprenant des cellules progénitrices dérivées des muscles en vue d'augmenter et d'apporter du volume à des parties molles chez le mammifère, l'homme y compris, dans le traitement de différentes manifestations esthétiques ou fonctionnelles, y compris les malformations, les lésions, les fragilités, les maladies ou les dysfonctionnements. L'invention propose en particulier, des traitements et des améliorations en cas d'affections dermatologiques, de reflux gastro-AEsophagien, de reflux vésico-urétéral, d'incontinence urinaire, d'incontinence fécale, d'insuffisance cardiaque et d'infarctus du myocarde.
