Abrégé

In the present invention process, the inventors have confirmed that the intracellular ATP and mitochondrial membrane potentials of cells isolated from hearing-impaired patients having mutations in the BCAP31 gene are significantly lower than those of normal persons. The finding indicates that the hearing-impaired patients having mutations in the BCAP31 gene have significantly lower-functioning mitochondria. In addition, susceptibility to cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity has also been confirmed to increase. On the other hand, treating lymphoid cell lines of the hearing-impaired patients with isolated mitochondria derived from stem cells has been confirmed to increase the activity of intracellular mitochondria and reduce cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the functioning of intracellular mitochondria has also been confirmed to recover when the isolated mitochondria derived from stem cells were applied to lymphocyte cell lines derived from hearing-impaired patients having mutations in the ferredoxin reductase (FDXR) gene, and fibroblasts derived from hearing-impaired patients having mitochondrial gene mutation (m.A1555G). Therefore, the mitochondria according to the present invention can effectively alleviate or treat hereditary hearing impairment.

An NK cells and PBMC, both having increased cytotoxicity are provided. Particularly, NK cells and PBMC which have exogenous mitochondria introduced thereinto potentiate the immune system of the human body to enhance a therapeutic effect on infectious diseases or cancer. Therefore, the NK cells and PBMC can be used in a composition for prevention or treatment of infectious diseases and cancer. Specially, autogenous NK cells and PBMC guarantee stability without the incurrence of an immune reaction, and thus would be expected to have high commercial activity.
