SUNNYVALE, CA – September 26, 2012 – Amarantus Biosciences, Inc. (OTCBB: AMBS), a biotechnology company developing new treatments and diagnostics for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) centered around its patented anti-apoptotic therapeutic protein MANF, today announced the publication of positive, peer-reviewed efficacy data for MANF in an animal model of myocardial infarction. The results were published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) by the Glembotski Lab at the San Diego State University’s (SDSU) Department of Biology and the SDSU Heart Institute. The research paper entitled “Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) protects the heart from Ischemic damage and is selectively secreted upon ER calcium depletion” reports a ~44% reduction in infarct zone size in MANF-treated mice when compared with controls.
“The generation of positive ischemia/reperfusion in-vivo animal data in a model of myocardial infarction represents a significant scientific milestone for MANF as scientifists look to establish the therapeutic profile of MANF in ischemic heart disease,” said Gerald E. Commissiong, President & CEO of Amarantus. “As the research on MANF moves forward around the globe, Amarantus will leverage the data generated by collaborators and independent researchers to improve the value of our IP portfolio as well as overall shareholder value.”
Since 2011, the Company has reported positive data in pre-clinical models of Parkinson’s disease, Traumatic Brain Injury and Myocardial. The Company owns composition of matter and method of use patents and patent applications for MANF worldwide. Amarantus is focused primarily on the development of a MANF-based treatment for Parkinson’s disease
