Patent

CA 2556266

The present invention provides a method of increasing neural stem cell numbers or neurogenesis by using a pheromone, a luteinizing hormone (LH) and/or a human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The method can be practiced in vivo to obtain more neural stem cells in situ, which can in turn produce more neurons or glial cells to compensate for lost or dysfunctional neural cells. The method can also be practiced in vitro to produce a large number of neural stem cells in culture. The cultured stem cells can be used, for example, for transplantation treatment of patients or animals suffering from or suspected of having neurodegenerative diseases or conditions.

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour augmenter le nombre de cellules souches neuronales ou favoriser la neurogenèse par l'utilisation d'une phéromone, d'une hormone de luténisation (LH) et/ou d'une gonadotrophine chorionique humaine (hCG). Le procédé peut être mis en oeuvre in vivo pour produire plus de cellules souches neuronales in vivo, ce qui à son tour permet de produire plus de neurones ou de cellules gliales destinées à compenser les cellules neuronales perdues ou dysfonctionnelles. Le procédé peut aussi être appliqué in vitro pour produire un nombre élevé de cellules souches neuronales dans une culture. Les cellules souches de culture peuvent être utilisées, par exemple, dans le traitement par transplantation de patients ou d'animaux qui souffrent (ou qui sont susceptibles de souffrir) de maladies ou d'états neurodégénératifs.
