Induction of ajmalicine formation and related enzyme activities in Catharanthus roseus cells: effect of inoculum density

In Catharanthus roseus cell cultures the time courses of four enzyme activities, tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), strictosidine synthase (SSS), geraniol-10-hydroxylase (G10H) and anthranilate synthase (AS), and alkaloid accumulation were compared under two different culture conditions (low-inoculum density and high-inoculum density on induction medium) and a control on growth medium. In growth medium a transient increase in TDC activity was first observed after which G10H reached its maximum activity; only tryptamine accumulated, no ajmalicine could be detected. Apparently, a concerted induction of enzyme activities is required for ajmalicine formation. Cells inoculated in induction medium showed such a concerted induction of AS, TDC and G10H activities. After 30 days the low-density culture had accumulated six times more ajmalicine (in moles/g) than the high-density culture. Thus, increase in biomass concentration (high-density cultures) did not enhance the total alkaloid production. The major differences observed in enzyme levels between high-and low-density cultures were in the AS and TDC activities, which were two to three times higher in the low-density culture, indicating that there is a positive correlation between ajmalicine formation and AS and TDC activities.Biotechnology Delft Leiden, Project Group Plant Cell Biotechnology Correspondence to: R.

Two-stage batch process for the production of ajmalicine by Catharanthus roseus: The link between growth and production stage

The link between the growth stage and the production stage in a two-stage batch process was investigated using (filtered) inocula from different periods of the stationary phase of the growth cycle. In the production stage, ajmalicine production by Catharanthus roseus in a 3-L stirred tank reactor was induced with a high glucose concentration (80 g/L). Ajmalicine production in cultures started with cells from the late stationary phase was five times higher than in cultures started with cells from the early stationary phase. After transfer to the production stage, cells from the early stationary phase showed a transient increase in respiration and enzyme induction, followed by culture browning. In contrast, cells in the late stationary phase showed a typical induction pattern: constant respiration, and permanent enzyme induction. A striking similarity between the geraniol-10-hydroxylase (G10H) activity and the ajmalicine accumulation profile could be observed in all cultures, suggesting that G 10H regulated ajmalicine production in this investigation. The intracellular nitrate concentration was significantly higher in the inoculum showing a high ajmalicine production than in the inoculum with a low production. Consequently, nitrate may act as a marker for the start of the production stage: as soon as the nitrate is depleted in the growth medium secondary metabolism can be induced.

Impact of hypoxia on the growth and alkaloid accumulation in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Catharanthus roseus</Emphasis> cell suspension

The Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) produces numerous indole alkaloids, several of which have an important pharmaceutical uses such as ajmalicine, vinblastine and vincristine. The relationship between hypoxia and ajmalicine production in a cell suspension culture of C. roseus were investigated during the cycle of cell culture, in correlation with the effects on growth. The results show that the lack of oxygenation in C20D cells provokes a very strong inhibition in accumulation of the alkaloids and of other possible substances. Moreover, the addition of loganin, a metabolic intermediate of the biosynthetic pathway, in the culture medium of cells subjected to hypoxia restored the alkaloid production. Also, the results showed that the addition of benzyladenine (BA) to the culture medium increased the ajmalicine production and that the inhibitory effect of hypoxia was almost absent in these conditions. Therefore, it could be suggested that BA can without doubt decrease the effects of the hypoxia and increase the ajmalicine production in periwinkle cell suspensions.     

Stimulation of ajmalicine production and excretion from Catharanthus roseus: effects of adsorption in situ,elicitors and alginate immobilization

Summary More efficient bioreactors for the production and recovery of secondary metabolites from plant cell cultures are needed. Three factors that have the potential to increase productivity are adsorption in situ, elicitors, and cell immobilization. The effects of these factors on ajmalicine production from Catharanthus roseus are reported in this paper. Elicitation using autoclaved cultures of the mold, Phytophthora cactorum, stimulates a 60% increase in ajmalicine production. The response time to elicitor addition was under 11 h. Adsorption of ajmalicine from the extracellular medium with the neutral resin, Amberlite XAD-7, greatly enhanced the release of ajmalicine (less than 10% extracellular to 40%) with a 40% increase in total productivity. Immobilization in Caalginate beads resulted in a significant increase in the accumulation of ajmalicine in the medium. The effects of elicitation, adsorption and immobilization were synergistic. For a 23-day culture period the amount of ajmalicine in the medium for cells subjected to all three treatments was 90 mg/L compared to 2 mg/L for suspension cultures cultured under otherwise identical conditions. These results suggest that immobilized cell bioreactors may be feasible for continuous production of products normally stored intracellularly in vacuoles in plant cells.     

Cell Culture and Selection of High Flavonoids- producing Cell Lines in Saussurea medusa

Explants of stems and leaves of Saussurea medusa Maxim. were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA, 2 mg/L NAA, and from which factors, such as the media, plant hormones and culture temperature, as well as the addition of phenylalanine to the medium, that affect the callus growth, were investigated. The results showed that cells grew appropriately in MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L NAA at 25 ℃. Phenylalanine was not suitable for cell growth in solid culture but it increased flavonoid production. The calli could be distinguished by colour with naked eyes into two cell lines, a faint yellow (A) and a red coloured (B), representing respectively the different colour of metabolite accumulations. A sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic as well as a UV spectrophotometric method have been developed for detecting the flavonoids in cultured cells. It revealed that the A line contained 1.9% flavonoids and 0.42% jaceosidin, which was 2.5 times and 3.9 times more than B line; 2.6 and 4.2 times more than the initial callus cells respectively.     

Activities of NADPH- producing enzymes and alkaloid production in catharanthus roseus cells

A 2,4-D dependent cell line, accumulating only traces of indole alkaloids under standard conditions of subculture, was grown in two different production media. Removal 2,4-D from maintenance culture medium enhanced the production of ajmalicine and serpentine and increased the activities of the NADPH-producing enzymes: glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phospho-gluconate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase. Adding zeatin to a 2,4-D depleted medium further increased the alkaloid content but the activities of the NADPH-producing enzymes remained unchanged.     

Cell cycle withdrawal without concomitant differentiation: analysis of a G1-specific temperature-sensitive murine myoblast cell line

Skeletal muscle differentiation is accompanied by the withdrawal of the proliferating myoblasts from the cell cycle in the G1 phase. We showed earlier that the length of G1 and the timing of the differentiative transition could be controlled in large part by the composition of the culture medium. In this study we have asked whether a G1 arrest imposed independently of the culture medium is sufficient to elicit the differentiative response. To examine this possibility we have characterized a new G1-specific ts murine myoblast line. This line, ts-36, was identified as a G1-specific mutant on the basis of four criteria: prolonged viability at the nonpermissive temperature (npt), the kinetics of cell cycle withdrawal and reentry in temperature shift experiments, the ability of the cells to differentiate at the npt in low-growth medium, and, finally, the observation that, by the criterion of flow microfluorometry, the mutant cells block at the G1 landmark in the cell cycle. A ts-imposed G1 arrest of up to 96-hr duration is by itself insufficient to activate the differentiative program in ts-36 cells cultured in complete growth medium. The differentiated phenotype is expressed, however, in temperature-arrested cells cultured either in low-growth (conditioned) medium or in a medium from which mitogens have been removed by ultrafiltration. Differentiation can be reversed by refeeding with complete growth medium. The effects of growth medium can be mimicked by FGF to the extent of inhibiting activation of the differentiative program in temperature-arrested ts-36 cells and in eliciting downregulation of muscle-specific contractile protein synthesis. Extrapolating from these observations suggests that growth factors may have more than one role in myogenesis in vitro. They not only stimulate proliferation, but also inhibit differentiation in the absence of proliferation. Examining the kinetics of withdrawal from the cell cycle indicates that ts-36, cultured in conditioned medium blocks at the npt restriction point rather than the conditioned medium block. Our results suggest that two conditions must be met to trigger myogenic differentiation in vitro. Withdrawal from the cell cycle in G1 alone is not sufficient. Reduction of the mitogen level in the medium below a threshold level is an obligate condition for phenotypic expression.     

Effects of oxygen and nutrients limitation on ajmalicine production and related enzyme activities in high density cultures of Catharanthus roseus

Oxygen and nutrient limitation was investigated in order to identify the origin of a lower specific ajmalicine production in Catharanthus roseus cultures at high cell densities in an induction medium. The effect of oxygen limitation was explored by comparing two identically aerated and agitated high cell density bioreactor cultures with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of 15% and 85% of air saturation, with respect to alkaloid formation and related enzymes activities. Oxygen had an evident effect on ajmalicine production: in the high DO cultures production was more than 5 times higher than in the low DO cultures. The difference in ajmalicine production between high and low DO could not be explained by the enzyme activity profiles. Moreover, the productivity in the high density culture could not restored to the level of a low density culture (at a high DO) by increasing the DO alone. The effect of nutrient limitation was studied with response surface methodology in shake flask cultures. Nutrient limitation could not be demonstrated to be responsible for the productivity loss. Alkaloid and enzyme measurements in the shake flask cultures supported previous findings that the tryptamine pathway may regulate alkaloid production, provided that the terpenoid pathway is sufficiently active.
