BioLeonhardt Method

• PRE-TREATS SCAR – Lays down vascular bed, Mircro RNAs partially converts fibroblasts to muscle, converts resident stem cells to cardiomyocytes, delivers nutrient hydrogel to prepare for cell injections.

• TREATS SCAR – Recruits via SDF-1 signal and infuses stem cells to scar tissue, proliferates recruited stem cells and resident cardiomyocytes, matures blood vessels, and differentiates cells into contractile muscle fibers.

• POST TREATS SCAR – Delivers nutrients and growth factors. Maintains blood supply. Release arrhythmia protection proteins.

• REPEATS ALL THE ABOVE AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL SCAR COMPLETELY REGENERATED INTO BEATING PUMPING MUSCLE

ONLY THERAPY DESIGNED TO REGENERATE 100% OF HEART SCAR TISSUE BACK TO BEATING PUMPING MUSCLE

Gladstone Scientists Transform Non-Beating Human Cells into Heart-Muscle Cells - Research findings lay foundation for one day regenerating damaged heart muscle

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—August 22, 2013—In the aftermath of a heart attack, cells within the region most affected shut down. They stop beating. And they become entombed in scar tissue. But now, scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have demonstrated that this damage need not be permanent—by finding a way to transform the class of cells that form human scar tissue into those that closely resemble beating heart cells. Last year, these scientists transformed scar-forming heart cells, part of a class of cells known as fibroblasts, into beating heart-muscle cells in live mice. And in the latest issue of Stem Cell Reports, researchers in the laboratory of Gladstone Cardiovascular and Stem Cell Research Direct Deepak Srivastava, MD, reveal that they have done the same to human cells.

Lancet. 2003 Aug 30;362(9385):697-703.Effect of stromal-cell-derived factor 1 on stem-cell homing and tissue regeneration in ischaemic cardiomyopathy.Askari AT1, Unzek S, Popovic ZB, Goldman CK, Forudi F, Kiedrowski M, Rovner A, Ellis SG, Thomas JD, DiCorleto PE, Topol EJ, Penn MS.

FINDINGS:8 weeks after myocardial infarction, transplantation into the peri-infarct zone of syngeneic cardiac fibroblasts stably transfected to express SDF-1 induced homing of CD117-positive stem cells to injured myocardium after filgrastim administration (control vs SDF-1-expressing cardiac fibroblasts mean 7.2 [SD 3.4] vs 33.2 [6.0] cells/mm2, n=4 per group, p<0.02) resulting in greater left-ventricular mass (1.24 [0.29] vs 1.57 [0.27] g) and better cardiac function (shortening fraction 9.2 [4.9] vs 17.2 [4.2]%, n=8 per group, p<0.05).

These findings show that SDF-1 is sufficient to induce therapeutic stem-cell homing to injured myocardium and suggest a strategy for directed stem-cell engraftment into injured tissues. Our findings also indicate that therapeutic strategies focused on stem-cell mobilisation for regeneration of myocardial tissue must be initiated within days of myocardial infarction unless signaling for stem-cell homing is re-established.

VEGF/SDF-1 promotes cardiac stem cell mobilization and myocardial repair in the infarcted heart.Tang JM1, Wang JN, Zhang L, Zheng F, Yang JY, Kong X, Guo LY, Chen L, Huang YZ, Wan Y, Chen SY.

The (VEGF)MSC-conditioned medium markedly promoted cardiac stem cell (CSC) migration at least in part via the SDF-1α/CXCR4 pathway and involved binding to VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-3. In vivo, (VEGF)MSC-stimulated SDF-1α expression in infarcted hearts resulted in massive mobilization and homing of bone marrow stem cells and CSC. Moreover, VEGF-induced SDF-1α guided the exogenously introduced CSC in the atrioventricular groove to migrate to the infarcted area, leading to a reduction in infarct size. Functional studies showed that (VEGF)MSC transplantation stimulated extensive angiomyogenesis in infarcted hearts as indicated by the expression of cardiac troponin T, CD31, and von Willebrand factor and improved the left ventricular performance\\

CONCLUSION:Exogenously expressed VEGF promotes myocardial repair at least in part through SDF-1α/CXCR4-mediated recruitment of CSC.

Hepatocyte growth factor modification enhances the anti-arrhythmic properties of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.Zhang J1, Wang LL1, Du W1, Yu YC2, Ju WZ1, Man YL1, Li XR1, Chen Y1, Wang ZD1, Gu WJ1, Zhang FX1, Wang H3, Wu CT3, Cao KJ1.

The HGF-MSC group displayed the highest vessel density and Cx43 expression levels, and the lowest levels of apoptosis, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) expression. Moreover, the HGF-MSC group exhibited a decrease in the number of sympathetic nerve fibers, substantial decreases in the low frequency and the low-/high- frequency ratio and increases in the root mean square of successive differences (rMSSD) and the percentage of successive normal sinus R-R intervals longer than 50 ms (pNN50), compared with the other two groups. Finally, the HGF-MSC group displayed the lowest susceptibility to developing VA.

CONCLUSION:HGF-MSCs displayed potent antiarrhythmic effects, reducing the risk for VA.PLoS One. 2014; 9(10): e111246.

• METHODS AND RESULTS:• Transplanted Sk-34 cells were incorporated into infarcted portions of

recipient muscles and contributed to cardiac reconstitution. Significant improvement in left ventricular function, as evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography and micro-tip conductance catheter, was also observed.

• CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE:• Skeletal muscle-derived multipotent Sk-34 cells that can give rise to skeletal

and smooth muscle cells as reported previously, also give rise to cardiac muscle cells as multi-myogenic stem cells, and thus are a potential source for practical cellular cardiomyoplasty.

• A significantly greater increase in the DLVEF was detected in animals that received three doses vs. a single dose of SkM. A correlation between the total number of transplanted cells and the improvement in LVEF and DLVEF was found (P , 0.05). Skeletal myoblast transplant was associated with an increase in tissue vasculogenesis and decreased fibrosis (collagen vascular fraction) and these effects were

greater in animals receiving three doses of cells.

• > Sham 10 percent decline.• > Myoblasts alone 27% improvement cardiac function.• > SDF-1 modified myoblasts 54% improvement cardiac

function

• Dr. Marc Penn from Cleveland Clinic presented pre-clinical data demonstrating that adult muscle stem cells (myoblasts) modified to overexpress SDF-1 (stromalderived factor-1) are able to achieve significant improvements in the pumping ability of the heart. Myoblasts alone in his study provided a 27 percent improvement of the pumping ability of the damaged animal hearts he treated, while SDF-1 modified myoblasts provided a 54 percent improvement.

SDF-1 Expression from Heart Decreases from Coronary Artery

Disease

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL 36

SDF-1a release from the human heart. In humans, SDF-1a is constitutively released from hearts with normal coronary arteries. However, following MI, myocardial release of SDF-1a is reduced. This is consistent with the murine mRNA expression pattern. SDF-1a release is suppressed in all stages of coronary artery disease, suggesting that coronary artery disease, rather than the tissue damage from MI, is responsible for the suppression of SDF-1a release. Transmyocardial gradient = coronary sinus level - coronary artery level; stable = stable coronary

artery disease; UAP = unstable angina pectoris; MI = myocardial infarction.

Animals in the MSC+hydrogel group showed an increase in cardiac function up to 28 days after MI and a mid-term prevention of cardiac function alteration at day 56. Histological analyses indicated that the injection of MSC+hydrogel induced a decrease in MI size and an increase in scar thickness and ultimately limited the transmural extent of MI. These findings show that intramyocardial injection of MSC+hydrogel induced short-term recovery of ventricular function and mid-term attenuation of remodeling after MI.

How the Technology Works

• Therapeutic stem cells and growth factors are delivered in stages over time via an implantable pump and microcurrent stimulation

• Our cells and growth factors are able to grow new blood vessels and new tissue including muscle where needed and applicable

• In the case of heart muscle regeneration we gradually grow more and more strips of new contractile muscle in the previous heart scar tissue over time

• In the case of limb salvage we accelerate healing of the diabetic foot ulcer first than gradually increase the long term blood supply to the lower limb by the creation of a vibrant new blood supply system – biological bypass

Heart Failure and Diabetes Two Leading Healthcare Problems in

the USA Today

• No therapy is able to regenerate post heart attacked scarred hearts completely and reliably. Heart failure is the leading economic drain on Medicare costing more than $31 billion annually.

• No therapy reliably regenerates failing limbs with a sustainable solution. In 2007, the treatment of diabetes and its complications in the United States generated at least $116 billion in direct costs; at least 33% of these costs were linked to the treatment of foot ulcers.

More than $31 billion is spent annually on heart failure

Heart Treatment

Other therapies for the heart either only treated the good tissue and did nothing for the scar or if treating the scar had limited effect with a one time 30 minute treatment without supporting factors.

Our method for heart regeneration of 1. Pre-treating scar. 2. Treating scar and 3. Post treating scar follows the tried and true methods used in good farming of crops. We are essentially growing a crop of new muscle in scar tissue supported by fertilizers (growth

Limp Salvage Treatment

Other therapies for limb salvage either just healed temporarily the ulcer without addressing the underlying problem of lack of blood flow or attempted to address blood flow with a single by-pass vessel which was incomplete.

Our method for limb salvage delivers healing and blood vessel growing proteins over time that provide a more sustainable recovery of the limb.

Limb Salvage Treatment

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL 46

Problem

•Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) have a considerably bad prognosis, with 40% of patients progressing to major amputation within 6 months and most patients losing their limbs eventually if no attempt at revascularization is performed.  

•29 million Americans suffer of CLI.• Critical limb ischemia is found in 12% of the U.S. adult population = 29

million people. Its clinical presentation varies from no symptoms to intermittent claudication, atypical leg pain, rest pain, ischemic ulcers, or gangrene.

• Those with critical limb ischemia have a high incidence of cardiovascular comorbidities that reflect a significant systemic atherosclerotic burden; they have increased functional impairment and increased rates of functional decline compared with persons without critical limb ischemia. Interventions for critical limb ischemia and the impact of major amputation have a significant social and economic impact. At 1 year, 25% of patients will be dead, 30% will have undergone amputation, and only 45% will remain alive with both limbs.

• At 5 years with current available treatments, more than 60% of patients with critical limb ischemia will be dead.

"We are very pleased with the preliminary results of adipose derived cells. This is a continuation of our research of bone marrow derived stem cells. Our results have been published this month in Cell Transplantation," said Dr. Prochazka. - The study focuses on end stage patients with severe wounds. Endpoints include elimination of major amputation risk, ankle brachial index, toe pressure, transcutaneous oxygen pressure, and quality of life. Seventy-five percent of patients presented with healing and pain reduction while only twenty-five percent of the patients required major limb amputation due to disease progression. Autologous adipose tissue derived stem cells (ADSCs) can help to produce angiogenesis or formation of new blood vessels as well as assist in the healing process. There were no reported deaths or severe adverse events demonstrating the safety of the products.

Summary Heart Failure Recovery

1. One time session delivery of cells is not enough. Repeat delivery is needed.2. SDF-1 is key to both arteriogenesis and myogenesis. 3. Our pump+stimulator over a course of year is designed to completely recover myocardial scar tissue into beating heart muscle with a vibrant blood supply and to reverse re-model a failing heart. Additional studies are required to prove.
