Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we successfully created the innovative nano-sized carrier which possessed both the superior blood circulation and the efficient delivery to kidney by the associations of peptide that specifically recognized kidneys to human albumin (HSA). Then, kidney regeneration and repair factors were loaded to HSA by the albumin engineering technology established by us. This hybrid-albumin DDS showed efficient and sustained delivery of regeneration and repair factors to the kidneys, even though under the chronic renal failures. Consequently, hybrid-albumin DDS showed excellent renoprotective and anti-fibrotic actions against chronic renal failure model animals. Since hybrid-albumin DDS is a cell-free and self-inducing regenerating system, it can be possible to conduct early intervention to the injured kidneys, and substantially lead to repair and regenerate kidneys. Thus, the hybrid system can be expected as a novel pre-emptive Medicine using Self-Repairing potential.
