An object of the present invention is to provide, for example, a more practical wound healing accelerator that more effectively accelerates wound healing. More specifically, a feature of the present invention is to provide, for example, a more practical wound healing accelerator that is easily obtained in a larger amount than that of peripheral blood platelet and has a better wound healing effect than that of peripheral blood platelet. The present invention employs a platelet-like cell population coexpressing one or more platelet surface markers and one or more mesenchymal cell surface markers. A wound healing accelerator containing the platelet-like cell population is a more practical wound healing accelerator that more effectively accelerates wound healing. The platelet-like cell population is easily obtained in a larger amount than that of peripheral blood platelet and has a better wound healing effect than that of peripheral blood platelet.

Agent for promoting wound healing comprising platelet-like cell co-expressing platelet surface antigen and mesenchymal cell surface antigen

A method for producing a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue, and a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue produced by the method. Advantageously, a method for producing a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue is achieved more simply, in a shorter period of time, and more efficiently. Also, a mesenchymal cell line is derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue produced by the production method. The method for producing a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue comprises: (A) inducing differentiation of one or more cells selected from a stromal vascular fraction comprising a mesenchymal stem cell, an adipose progenitor cell, and a stromal cell of a vertebrate adipose tissue into a mature adipocyte; and (B) inducing dedifferentiation of the mature adipocyte obtained in step (A) to obtain a mesenchymal cell line derived from the vertebrate adipose tissue.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of simply and efficiently promoting expression of c-MPL on a surface of a mesenchymal cell. The present invention provides a method for producing a mesenchymal cell with promoted expression of a c-MPL receptor on the cell surface, comprising Step A of culturing the mesenchymal cell in a mesenchymal cell culturing basic medium comprising a c-MPL receptor active substance; and Step B of obtaining the mesenchymal cell with promoted expression of a c-MPL receptor on the cell surface.

Method for producing mesenchymal cells with promoted c-MPL receptor expression on cell surface

Provided is a megakaryocyte and/or platelet production method, enabling to produce a megakaryocyte and/or platelet from mesenchymal cells such as preadipocytes in a relatively short period of time, simply, in a large amount and at lower cost or more efficiently in vitro and a method for producing TPO simply and in a larger amount. A first invention is a method for producing a megakaryocyte and/or platelet, comprising culturing a mesenchymal cell in a mesenchymal cell culturing basic medium containing an iron ion and an iron transporter and collecting megakaryocytes and/or platelets from a culture. A second invention is a method for producing thrombopoietin, comprising culturing a mesenchymal cell or mesenchymal cell-derived megakaryocyte in a mesenchymal cell culturing basic medium containing an iron ion and an iron transporter and collecting thrombopoietin from a culture. A third invention is a method for producing thrombopoietin, comprising culturing a preadipocyte in a preadipocyte culturing basic medium containing dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and insulin and collecting thrombopoietin from a culture.
