PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING CBFbeta-EXPRESSING VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS OR CULTURE FLUID THEREOF AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT FOR PREVENTION OR TREATMENT OF AGE-RELATED DISEASES

Abstract

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing Cbfβ (Core-binding factor subunit beta) expressing vascular smooth muscle cells or a culture fluid thereof as an active ingredient for the prevention or treatment of age-related diseases. It has been found that inhibition of Cbfβ expression in vascular smooth muscle cells promotes vascular calcification and osteoclast differentiation and that the culture fluid of Cbfβ-expressing vascular smooth muscle cells inhibits osteoclast differentiation. Thus, the composition can be advantageously utilized as a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention, treatment, alleviation, or diagnosis of age-related diseases.
