The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases, containing, as an active ingredient, stem cells overexpressing SOD3. The present inventor has ascertained that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) overexpressing SOD3 have a stronger antioxidant activity and immune regulatory function than normal MSCs, and thus the MSCs overexpressing SOD3 can be an effective treatment agent for inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, organ transplant rejection and the like.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing induced neural stem cells which are reprogrammed from differentiated cells. The method of producing the induced neural stem cells according to the present invention enables preparation of the induced neural stem cells from non-neuronal cells using only two inducing factors of SOX2 and HMGA2. Therefore, the method of the present invention can prepare induced neural stem cells in a more efficient manner than the conventional methods, which use four or five inducing factors. Additionally, the method of the present invention shows significantly higher inducing efficiency and proliferation capacity than when only a single SOX2 gene is used, thus increasing its potency to be used for therapeutic purposes.

The present invention relates to a method for obtaining adult stem cells, which have a surface antigen of CD49f, excellent formation of spheres due to sphere formation and high expression of OCT4 and SOX2, from a cell source including stem cells, and a cell therapeutic agent containing adult stem cells obtained by the method or cells differentiated therefrom as an active ingredient. According to the present invention, adult stem cells derived from spheres are suitable for mass culture of adult stem cells because of more rapid growth thereof compared with stem cells obtained by a known adhesive culture method, have a specific surface antigen so as to be homogeneously obtained by using the specific surface antigen, and are useful for preparing a cell therapeutic agent using the same because of excellent differentiation thereof.

This invention relates to human adipose tissue-derived multipotent adult stem cells. More particularly, the invention relates to human adipose tissue-derived multipotent stem cells, which can be maintained in an undifferentiated state for a long period of time by forming spheres and have high proliferation rates, as well as methods for isolating and maintaining the adult stem cells, and methods for differentiating the multipotent adult stem cells into nerve cells, fat cells, cartilage cells, osteogenic cells and insulin-releasing pancreatic beta-cells. Also, the invention relates to cellular therapeutic agents for treating osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and diabetes and for forming breast tissue, which contain the differentiated cells or the adult stem cells. Although the multipotent stem cells are adult stem cells, they have the ability to differentiate into osteogenic cells, nerve cells, astrocytes, fat cells, chrondrogenic cells or insulin-releasing pancreatic beta-cells, and so are effective in treating osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, nerve disease, diabetes, etc. Also, the stem cells form spheres in a serum-free medium containing CORM-2, and thus can be maintained in an undifferentiated state for a long period of time. Also, the stem cells have very high proliferation rates. Accordingly, the stem cells are useful as cellular therapeutic agents.
