Abstract
Visco-supplement compositions derived from a transcellular fluid, such as human amniotic fluid, human aqueous humor fluid, or human vitreous fluid are described. Also described are methods for treating inflammatory conditions of the musculoskeletal system, such as joint inflammation, and methods of lubricating a joint using the described visco-supplement compositions.
Claims23
A method of lubricating a joint in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:
- injecting into an intra-articular space of the joint a visco-supplement composition including a processed transcellular fluid, wherein the processed transcellular fluid includes,
- (a) an increased concentration of at least three of a first component selected from the group consisting of 30.25 g/L to 50.375 g/L of proteins, 0.003 g/L to 0.3 g/L of phospholipids, 0.25 g/L to 6.5 g/L of fatty acids, 0.5 g/L to 9.5 g/L of cholesterol, glucose at a concentration of 600 mg/L to 900 mg/L, fructose at a concentration of 48 mg/L to 59 mg/L, hyaluronic acid at a concentration of 30 μg/L to 3600 μg/L, and lubricin at a concentration of 10 μg/ml to 200 μg/ml, as compared to a concentration in an unprocessed transcellular fluid;
- and
- (b) a decreased concentration of at least two of a second component selected from the group consisting of no more than 160 mg/L of urea, no more than 80 g/L of uric acid, and no more than 14 mg/L of creatinine, as compared to a concentration in the unprocessed transcellular fluid.
