Patent ID: 10174287

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for inducing direct transdifferentiation of a somatic cell into a vascular progenitor cell and a use thereof and, more specifically, to a composition for inducing direct transdifferentiation of a somatic cell into a vascular progenitor cell, a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of ischemic vascular diseases, a cell therapeutic agent for the prevention or treatment of ischemic vascular diseases, a composition for screening a therapeutic drug for ischemic vascular diseases, a 3D printing biological material composition for the production of an artificial tissue for the treatment of ischemic vascular diseases, and a method for direct transdifferentiation of a somatic cell into a vascular progenitor cell. By producing a vascular progenitor cell by direct transdifferentiation of a somatic cell according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the production period of the vascular progenitor cell and to avoid the formation of teratoma, which is a side effect of an induced pluripotent stem cell, thereby minimizing the side effects of a stem cell therapeutic agent.
