棉铃虫幼虫神经细胞的急性分离培养及其电压门控通道的膜片钳研究

探索了棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera幼虫神经细胞的急性分离与体外培养的条件,并利用全细胞膜片钳技术首次对棉铃虫幼虫急性分离神经细胞的电压门控性钠、钾和钙通道的基本电生理学特性进行了研究。结果表明,棉铃虫幼虫中枢神经细胞在TC-100、L-15和Grace培养基中均可贴壁生长,在DMEM培养基中基本不能存活。在TC-100培养基分别与其它三种培养基按一定比例混合形成的培养液中,TC-100与L-15等量混合培养液更适合于神经细胞的生长。全细胞电压钳条件下,可分别记录到电压门控性钠、钾和钙通道电流。钙电流特征为高电压激活、缓慢失活;钠电流对河豚毒素敏感;钾电流可被细胞外液中的氯化四乙胺和4-氨基吡啶抑制。     

昆虫细胞(Sf21)悬浮培养过程中生长限制性基质间歇补加技术的应用

基于Sf21昆虫细胞在悬浮培养过程中所表现出的生长代谢特征,提出以培养液中残糖浓度作为控制参数,并利用限制性基质(葡萄糖和蛋白水解物)的间歇补加技术调控细胞生长的方案。实际控制表明：与批培养相比,Sf21细胞在两种具代表性的昆虫细胞培养基(IPL-41和TC-100)中的生长期和稳定期都得到了有效的延长。TC-100培养液中最高细胞培养密度由3.0×10⁶ cells/mL提高到6.5×10⁶ cells/mL;IPL41培养液中最高细胞培养密度则由7.05×10⁶ cells/mL提高到9.0×10⁶cells/mL。由于限制性基质的间歇补加技术是利用较确定的营养成分来代替复杂昂贵的补料培养基,因此更适合于昆虫细胞的大规模高密度培养。     

转瓶内部结构对无血清悬浮培养昆虫细胞的影响

以昆虫细胞为宿主进行基因工程产品的开发是动物细胞培养领域十分有吸引力的研究方向[1] 。由于昆虫细胞对营养要求极高 ,且对培养环境非常敏感 ,所以一般是在含有兼具营养及保护功能的胎牛血清的培养基中进行培养。血清一方面因其高额成本而限制了昆虫细胞大规模培养技术的发展 ,另一方面又因其成分复杂、富含蛋白而给外源基因表达产物的后处理带来困难。因此 ,昆虫细胞无血清培养技术的开发一直是细胞培养工程领域的研究热点 ,采用无血清培养技术取代传统的有血清培养技术已成为昆虫细胞 杆状病毒表达系统的发展趋势[2 ] 。然而 ,昆虫细…

改造中国仓鼠卵巢细胞

原核细胞、酵母细胞以及昆虫细胞相比,中国仓鼠卵巢细胞（CHO）作为宿主细胞表达的外源蛋白最接近其天然构象,因而CHO细胞表达系统是生物工程制药最为理想的表达系统。但这种系统也存在诸多缺点。如在大规模培养中CHO细胞会面临着对无血清培养基的适应性差、细胞无限度增殖以及细胞凋亡等很多难题。所以除了在培养基、培养条件和表达载体方面下功夫优化该系统外,对CHO细胞本身进行改造已成为优化CHO表达系统的另一热点。 

Isolation and in vitro cultivation of the aphid pathogenic fungus Entomophthora planchoniana

Entomophthora planchoniana is an important fungal pathogen of aphids. Although Entomophthora chromaphidis has been considered a synonym for E. planchoniana, the two species are now separated, and E. planchoniana is reported not to grow in vitro. In this paper, we describe for the first time the isolation and cultivation of this species. Entomophthora planchoniana was isolated from a population of Ovatus crataegarius (Homoptera, Aphididae), which was infected by E. planchoniana only. The isolates did not sporulate, but the sequence of the small subunit rDNA and the restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns of the first part of the large subunit rDNA and the ITS II region confirm that the isolates were E. planchoniana. The isolated fungus grew in a medium consisting of Grace's insect cell culture medium supplemented with lactalbumin hydrolysate, yeastolate, and 10% fetal bovine serum or in GLEN medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. Vegetative cells of E. planchoniana were long and club-shaped and did not stain with Calcofluor, thus suggesting that they were protoplasts.     

Culture of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster Schneider 2 cells in serum-free media based on TC100 basal medium

Requirements of eliminating animal proteins from cell culture have intensified in recent years, with the pressure of regulatory agencies related to biopharmaceuticals production. In this work, the substitution of fetal bovine serum by yeastolate and a soy hydrolysate (Hy Soy) for the culture of Drosophila melanogaster Schneider 2 cells transfected for the production of rabies virus G glycoprotein was evaluated. TC100 supplemented with glucose, glutamine, lipid emulsion and Pluronic F68 was employed as basal medium. Results show that yeastolate was more efficient on cell growth stimulation than Hy Soy. Cells adapted in medium formulation supplemented with 3 g/L yeastolate, 1% lipid emulsion, 10 g/L glucose, 3.5 g/L glutamine and 0.1% Pluronic F68 attained a maximum concentration of 10.7 x 10(6) cells/mL, with the expression of 9.4 ng/mL G glycoprotein.     

Isolation from lactalbumin hydrolysate of a high molecular weight mitogenic factor.

A new mitogenic factor has been isolated from tissue culture grade lactalbumin hydrolysate. Incubation of postconfluent Swiss 3T3 cells in serum-free medium containing lactalbumin hydrolysate resulted in enhanced synthesis and release of plasminogen activator. Sephadex G-100 gel filtration of concentrated, dialyzed lactalbumin hydrolysate revealed two fractions, LH-FI and LH-FII. LH-FI elutes at the void volume, indicative of high molecular weight, and contains all plasminogen activator stimulatory activity of the original lactalbumin hydrolysate, whereas LH-FII has no activity. In addition, LH-FI also induces DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, 1 to 2 microgram/ml being equivalent to 10% fetal calf serum. Again, LH-FII is without effect. Induction of DNA synthesis in LH-FI or serum-stimulated quiescent sparse cells followed essentially identical kinetics at least through the first 20 h. Furthermore, LH-FI also enhances 3T3 cell growth. Preliminary results of Sepharose 4B filtration of LH-FI reveal the presence of five subfractions each with plasminogen activator stimulatory as well as mitogenic activity.     

Effect of bioactive peptides isolated from yeastolate,lactalbumin and NZCase in the insect cell growth

In this study, we have described the biological activity of various hydrolysates and its effect on cell growth, growth rate and doubling time. A potent cell culture enhancer factor was observed in the yeastolate hydrolysates, mainly in the protein fractions with low molecular weight. In this case, a growth enhancer of 60.66% was obtained. Despite a lower efficiency of crude lactalbumin hydrolysates (14%), when lactalbumin and yeastolate were added together to the culture, the cell yields were of 102%, showing a synergic effect. Nevertheless, sub fraction from LMW, of lactalbumin, obtained by Sephadex G-10 gel filtration chromatography showed a higher positive effect (23.3%) than low molecular weight fraction of lactalbumin without this chromatography step (11.3%). It is suggested that low molecular weight lactalbumin could have some inhibitory protein. On the other hand, NZCase low molecular weight showed a positive effect of 29.33%, while its sub fractions showed a negative effect of 5.5%. With these data we can suggest that these hydrolysates could be an important element to design new media, serum free, being helpful in protein recombinant production.     

Promoting effect of rapeseed proteins and peptides on Sf9 insect cell growth

The Baculovirus Expression Vector System has become widely used for the production of recombinant proteins for research and diagnostics. Serum-free culture media able to support high cell densities have been developed for the large scale culture of insect cells. While serum elimination aims at avoiding the risks associated with the introduction of an ill defined component of bovine origin, additives such as protein hydrolysates from animal sources are still used. An alternative could be the supplementation of culture media with protein hydrolysates derived from plants. In this study, we describe the replacement of lactalbumin hydrolysate with a laboratory produced hydrolysate of rapeseed proteins. Its effect on Sf9 cell growth kinetics, substrate consumption and by-product formation in low-serum or serum-free medium was evaluated. Cells were unable to grow in the presence of a rapeseed protein hydrolysate generated by PTN 3.0 Special^® enzyme and containing only 24% of peptides under 1 kDa in size. On the other hand, serum-free medium supplementation with a rapeseed protein hydrolysate obtained with Orientase 90N^® enzyme had a strong growth promoting effect, leading to a 60% increase in maximal cell density without affecting cell metabolism. This significant positive effect could be explained by the higher degree of hydrolysis of this digest, with 74% of peptides under 1 kDa in size.     

A new human cholangiocellular carcinoma cell line (HuCC-T1) producing carbohydrate antigen 19/9 in serum-free medium

Summary A human cholangiocellular carcinoma cell line, HuCC-T1, was established in vitro from the malignant cells of ascites of a 56-yr-old patient. Histologic findings of the primary liver tumor revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Tumor cells from the ascites have been cultured with RPMI 1640 medium containing 0.2% lactalbumin hydrolysate and the cultured cells grew as monolayers with a population doubling time of 74 h during exponential growth at Passage 25. They had an epithelial-like morphology and were positive for mucine staining. Ultrastructural studies revealed the presence of microvilli on the cell surface and poorly developed organelles in the cytoplasm. The HuCC-T1 cell was tumorigenic in nude mice. The number of chromosomes in HuCC-T1 ranged from 61 to 80. These human cholangiocellular carcinoma cells in serum-free medium secreted several tumor markers, including carbohydrate antigen 19/9, carbohydrate antigen 125, carcinoembryonic antigen, and tissue polypeptide antigen. The carbohydrate antigen 19/9 secretion level of HuCC-T1 cells cultured in PRMI 1640 medium with 1% fetal bovine serum was sixfold higher than that with 0.2% lactalbumin hydrolysate. These findings suggest that HuCC-T1 will provide useful information to clarify the mechanism of tumor marker secretion and tumor cell growth in the human cholangiocellular carcinoma.     

Recombinant Protein Production by the Baculovirus-Insect Cell System in Basal Media Without Serum Supplementation

The production of β-galactosidase by Sf9 cells infected with recombinant Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcNPV) was investigated in shake-flask culture using two serum-free basal media: Grace's medium and TNM-FH (Grace's medium supplemented with lactalbumin hydrolysate and yeast extract). At the time of infection, cells grown in serum-supplemented TNM-FH were transferred into fresh basal media without adaptation. The absence of serum depressed the β-galactosidase yield considerably in Grace's medium, but to a much lesser extent in TNM-FH, where it reached around 2/3 of the level obtained in TNM-FH supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). While both lactalbumin hydrolysate and yeast extract promoted β-galactosidase production, their removal by medium replacement on post-infection day 1 gave a β-galactosidase yield nearly equal to that obtained in their continuous presence. Supplementation of basal media with phosphatidic acid (PA) from egg yolk lecithin, which has been shown to enhance cell growth and recombinant protein production in serum-free culture of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, was also effective in increasing β-galactosidase yield. Elevating the multiplicity of infection (MOI) from 2 to 10 plaque-forming units per cell (pfu/cell) also resulted in an increase in product yield. These results provide information important to the development of cost-effective serum-free culture technology for use in large-scale production of recombinant proteins by the baculovirus-insect cell system.     

New Helicoverpa armigera Hbn cell line from larval hemocyte for baculovirus studies

A new cell line from the larval hemocytes of H. armigera was established in Grace's medium modified by adding lactalbumin hydrolysate and yeastolate (3.3g/l), and supplemented with fetal bovine serum (20%). The cell line was designated as NIV-HA-1195. The cell population at P-78 consisted mainly of epithelial-like cells (89.36%), fibroblast-like cells (8.31%) and giant cells (2.13%). The population doubling time was 96hr at P-8, 60hr at P-43. The chromosome number ranged from 45 to 200. The cell line is susceptible to the baculoviruses, Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcNPV), Spodoptera litura NPV and the homologous HaNPV. Isoenzyme profile and results of 16S rRNA heteroduplex analysis clearly indicated the species specificity of the new cell line.

Effect of low inoculation density in the scale-up of insect cell cultures

The scale-up of insect cell cultures and the production of baculovirus with these cultures is dependent on the inoculation density applied. The effect of applying a low inoculation on the specific growth rate and on the duration of the lag phase was tested. Three different cell lines, HzAm1, Ha2302, and Sf21 were tested in a total of five cell line/medium combinations. Growth in suspension culture was examined, and data obtained were fitted with the Gompertz equation. A significant decline in specific growth rate with decreasing inoculation density was observed in all cell line/medium combinations, except for HzAm1. No critical inoculation density, below which no growth would occur, was found. In suspension culture in shake flasks, an inoculation density of 5 x 10(4) cells/mL is achievable, without severely influencing the overall growth rate. A lower inoculation density in suspension culture results in less steps in the scale-up process and might be a tool in bypassing the viral passage effect.
