Abstract: Anti- histamine immunoglobulins and other similar molecules are used for the treatment of various inflammatory pain and auto-immune diseases. However a cure for these conditions still remains an unmet medical need. Applications of stem cells to regenerate the diseased tissue may lead to complete cure. The present disclosure therefore provides a method to modulate and or fine-tune the immune system to create the right micro-environment/ niche for stem cell based tissue regeneration and thus enhancing the success rate of tissue regeneration via stem cell implantations. The present disclosure also relates to a product involving a combination/ formulation of Adult stem cells and Anti-histamine Immunoglobulins in specific proportions that can be used in various therapeutic applications.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a composition comprising stem cell and anti-histamine immunoglobulin and a method to obtain the said composition. More particularly it relates to method to modulate and or fine-tune the immune system to create the right micro-environment/ niche for stem cell based tissue regeneration and thus enhancing the success rate of tissue regeneration via stem cell implantations.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART OF THE DISCLOSURE
Anti- histamine immunoglobulins and other similar molecules are used for the treatment of various inflammatory pain and auto-immune diseases. However a cure for these conditions still remains an unmet medical need. Applications of stem cells to regenerate the diseased tissue may lead to complete cure. However the success rates are still poor in this area.
Presently adult mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow or umbilical cord are being given intra articular in the knee joints for diseases like ankylosing spondylitis reactive arthritis filarial arthritis hypertension chronic renal failure chronic articular rheumatism systemic lupus erythematosus multiple sclerosis various types of immunodeficiency syndromes infection diseases parasitic diseases respiratory diseases autoimmune diseases eosinophilia caused by malignant tumors cerbro vascular accident conditions such as Bells palisy monoplegia paraplegia undifferentiated spondylo arthropathies hypersensitivity vasculitis churg-strauss syndrome rheumatic heart disease rheumatic heart disease with CCF rheumatic heart disease with chorea rheumatoid arthritis systemic lupus erythematosus vitiligo viral encephalitis drug resistant tuberculosis acute lepra neuritis cerebral malaria primary infertility meniers diseases chronic venous ulcers stress incontinence chronic cancer pains of hard palet cervix chronic cancer pains of secondaries and undifferentiated chronic pains chronic renal failure atherosclerosis and chronic pains.
Further the drugs used are often anti-inflammatory molecules like anti-histamine drugs that do offer a temporary relief in pain or symptoms but does not offer a cure.
The previously carried out studies covered application of anti-histamines in such diseases whereas the instant disclosure involves a combination of stem cells and anti-histamine antibodies showing improved outcome over the previous studies where anti-histamine was used alone.
The instant disclosure claims for an improved outcome of stem cell based tissue regeneration in the above mentioned diseased conditions significantly by conditioning the immune system. This manipulation of the immune system is based on our unique observations and understanding of the role of Histamine homeostasis’ of the immune system.
The mechanism of action of the drug histamine conjugated normal immunoglobulin:
Histamine conjugated human immunoglobulin is administered to patients preferably as an injection subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Intramuscular mode is preferred as its effects are better than subcutaneous injections. When administered intramuscularly the drug reaches all the lymphnodes and stimulates B cells to produce antihistamine antibodies ("Appa Hista"). This is active process. The antibodies then travel to the inflammatory site and neutralize the histamine directly or enhance the serum binding ability of the histamine the applicant""s study reveals that the enhancement is nearly 30 times as compared with allergic individuals and helps to reduce the pain by switching off the (Histamine at site) HI receptors. It may block the specific antibody of IgE synthesis and help the Th1 response to set in the case of intra cellular parasites. It does not interfere with the primary histamine release and does not cause any immunosuppression. Serum binding ability is enhanced by which the threshold and sensitivity to stimuli decreases. The present disclosure attains such high degree of success in the cure of said disease by administration of a formulation of stem cells and anti-histamine antibiodies or by following a protocol of administering the two entities separately.
Further it is clear that the release of histamine is a point of the defence strategy is responsible for healing because it gives Th2 type of response. The histamine/1gE/mast cell response is exploited as a strategy by microorganism to cause infections and in turn causes autoimmune diseases. These are also considered as an end result of infection. The inflammation continues as long as histamine is present. The applicant observed that chronic liberation of histamine and Th2 instead of healing damages the healing. The inflammatory site and the three pathways and their byproducts faci1itate the release of histamine the histamine positive feedback inturn stimulates IgE Mastcell Pathway and liberates more histamine and thus it becomes a vicious cycle which is called the "Rao""s Histamine Vicious Cycle". For healing to occur the cycle must be broken to produce active anti-bodies against histamine so as to enhance the serum binding ability of histamine. The normal individual""s histamine binding ability is thirty times more than that of allergic patients.
The instant disclosure attains such high degree of success in the cure by administration of a formulation of stem cells and anti-histamine antibiodies or by following a protocol of administering the two entities separately.

The present disclosure also relates to a method of obtaining a composition comprising stem cell and anti-histamine immunoglobulin optionally along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients said method comprising act of combining the stem cell and the anti-histamine immunoglobulin optionally along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients to arrive at said composition.
The present disclosure also relates to a combination comprising stem cell and anti-histamine immunoglobulin optionally along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipient wherein the stem cell and the anti-histamine immunoglobulin are combined in any sequence and after any time interval thereof.
The present disclosure also relates to a method of preconditioning immune system for improving stem cell therapy in a subject in need thereof said method comprising act of administering anti-histamine immunoglobulin to the subject followed by administering the stem cell alternatively with the anti-histamine immunoglobulin for preconditioning the immune system.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure the anti-histamine immunoglobulin is administered intramuscularly intra-articularly intravenous and the stem cell is administered intravenously intra-artivular intramuscular or after loading on biomaterial based scaffolds.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure the preconditioning is carried out for conditions selected from group comprising bronchitis rheumatoid arthritis osteoarthritis ankylosing spondylitis asthma interstitial lung disease COPD inflammatory conditions and allogenic stem cell transplantation or any combination thereof.
The present disclosure also relates to a method of treating musculo-skeletal conditions said method comprising step of administering a composition comprising stem cell and anti-histamine immunoglobulin optionally along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure HISTAGLOBIN is a basic treatment for allergic conditions and not a remedy for acute symptoms. It is therefore recommended for all allergic complaints whatever their symptoms or causes.
(a) Respiratory: bronchial asthma asthmatic bronchitis chronic bronchitis spasmodic tracheitis hay fever allergic rhinitis.
(b) Cutaneous: eczema urticaria generalised skin allergies.
(c) Nervous: migraine.
(d) Gynaecological: premenstrual syndrome when of allergic aetiology.
(e) HISTAGLOBIN may be used prophylactically with children (where there is a family history of allergy) who are about to undergo an adenoidectomy or tonsillectomy.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure histglobin consists of histamine fixed on an active protein fraction extracted from human blood (gammaglobulin) in strictly defined proportions. It triggers anti-histamine IgG antibodies inside the body and protects the patient from allergy pain inflammation etc.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure the above molecule is used to:
1. Precondition the patients immune system for a better outcome of stem cell therapies
2. Mix this molecule with stem cells in certain propositions and make a new formulation for injection
In an embodiment of the instant disclosure during inflammation histamine is released at the inflammatory sites as predicted by Rao’s vicious cycle. The later refers to the proliferation of TH 2 type of reaction and its dominance over TH1 reaction. In this method of cure known as Appa Hista antihistamine antibodies combat the histamine at the inflammatory sites and also block TH 2 type of reaction thus indirectly helping the TH 1 type of reaction. The dual effect of Appa hista antibodies has been visualized in 1) Killing the intracellular organisms through TH 1 type of reaction and; 2) Neutralizing the histamine at inflammation site at the same time blocking the excess TH 2 type of reaction. Since Appa Hista directly attacks histamine where ever it is present it may cure all inflammatory diseases.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure stem cells are biological cells found in all multicellular organisms that can divide through mitosis and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self renew to produce more stem cells.
In yet another embodiment of the instant disclosure in adult organisms stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body replenished in adult tissues. In a developing embryo stem cells can differentiate into all the specialized cells but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs such as blood skin or intestinal tissues.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure stem cells can now be artificially grown and transformed into specialized cell types with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture. Highly plastic adult stem cells are routinely used in medical therapies. Stem cells can be taken from a variety of sources including umbilical cord blood and bone marrow.
In another embodiment of the instant disclosure bone marrow and umbilical cord mesenchymal and haematopoietic stemcells are now proven for their clinical safety and efficacies (reference). Whartons jelly in the umbilical cord is also a rich source of MSCs. They are also known for their immune modulatory effects and they are usefull for GVHD and for regulating pro-inflamatory cytokines and growth factors (reference). Intravenous injections of these cells in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis injuries pain diabetic wounds parkinsons cancer etc. has been reported with low success rates ie. in the range of 30 to 40% success per hundred patient studied. In case of arthritis of the knee etc cells have been injected in the joints or given intra-articular.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure the co-injection of stem cells with histaglobin or administration of the cocktail (of stem cells and histaglobin) given intramuscularly would help in muscle regeneration in Duchen Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and other musculoskeletal disease patients.
In an embodiment of the current disclosure the two innovations based on exploitation of the fundamental Rao’s vicious cycle are:
1. “Preconditioning the patients immune system” : A method to modulate and or fine-tune the patients immune system to create the right micro-environment/ niche for stem cell based tissue regeneration and thus enhancing the success rate of tissue regeneration via stem cell implantations.
2. “ New product formulation” A product involving a combination/ formulation of Adult stem cells (bone marrow or umbilical mesenchymal) and Anti-histamine Immunoglobulins in specific proportions
3.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure the adult stem cell types are selected from a group comprising 1. bone marrow – mesenchymal and heamatopoetic cells. 2. Umbilical cord- mesenchymal and haematopoietic stem cells 3. Differentiated / progenitor cells – like condrocytes osteobalsts neuronal precursor cells cardiovascular and endothelial precursor cells.
The present disclosure is further elaborated with the help of following examples. However the examples should not be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
Method to precondition the immune system to improve the outcome of stem cell therapies.
The stepwise protocol is provided as below;
Step 1 - Preconditioning the patients immune system:
Dose- 18mg (ie. one and a half vial)/ each dose (each vial contains 12mg histaglobulin) given once in a week for three weeks to pre-condition the immune system.
More precisely three injections one each week for 3 weeks use a cold syringe for every injection as the product is heat labile
Protocol;
1st injection- histaglobulin- 1st week
2nd injection- histaglobulin- 2nd week
3rd injection- histaglobulin- 3rd week
Step 2 - Injection of stem cells intravenous or intra-articular or at the site of injuries by loading on scaffolds or injection of micro-encapsulated cocooned stem cells for tissue regeneration wound healing arthritis and all other indications described in previous patent. Hiatglobulin is injected every 3rd week followed by a stem cell admisntration procedure on the subsequent week.
Protocol;
4th injection –stem cell administration- 4th week
5th injection- histaglobulin- 7th week
6th injection- stem cells administration- 8th week
7th injection- histaglobulin- 11th week
8th injection- stem cell administration- 12th week
9th injection- histaglobulin- 15th week
10th injection- stem cell admisnistartion- 16th week
In an embodiment of the instant disclosure the preferred dosage of Histamine conjugated gamaglobulin that may be administered intramuscularly may comprise Human Normal Immunoglobulin I.P – 0.25mg Histamine Dihydrochloride 0.0025 mcg. Or Sodiun Thiosuiphate I.P -0.53 mg.per K.G Body weight. It should be given 3/5 weeks followed by 3/5 months or once in 21 days by observing various physical and subjective parameters. This is called as one block. During this block inflammatory diseases either may be cured or goes to interval. If the disease reoccurs from the interval the block it has to be repeated. The route of administration is intramuscuslar.
In an embodiment the method provided herein is used in allergic and pain conditions like bronchitis rhematoid arthritis and other related diseases. The patient would be preconditioned by IM (Intramuscular) injections of the Histaglobin and then stem cells will be given by IV (Intravenous) route. This is also important and useful in allogenic stem cell transplantation cases where the foreign/ donor graft will intergate with the host tissue better in a inflammation controlled area.
