ABSTRACTHEK293 transient expression systems are used to quickly generate proteins for research and pre-clinical studies. With the aim of engineering a high-producing host that grows and transfects robustly in bioreactors, we deleted the pro-apoptotic genes Bax and Bak in an HEK293 cell line. The HEK293 Bax Bak double knock-out (HEK293 DKO) cell line exhibited resistance to apoptosis and shear stress. HEK293 DKO cells sourced from 2 L seed train bioreactors were most productive when a pH setpoint of 7.0, a narrow pH deadband of ±0.03, and a DO setpoint of 30% were used. HEK293 DKO seed train cells cultivated for up to 60 days in a 35 L bioreactor showed similar productivities to cells cultivated in shake flasks. To optimize HEK293 DKO transfection cultures, we first evaluated different pH and agitation parameters in ambr15 microbioreactors before scaling up to 10 L wavebag bioreactors. In ambr15 microbioreactors with a pH setpoint of 7.0, a wide pH deadband of ±0.3, and an agitation of 630 rpm, HEK293 DKO transient cultures yielded antibody titers up to 650 mg/L in 7 days. The optimal ambr15 conditions prompted us to operate the 10 L wavebag transfection without direct pH control to mimic the wide pH deadband ranges. The HEK293 DKO transfection process produces high titers at all scales tested. Combined, our optimized HEK293 DKO 35 L bioreactor seed train and 10 L high titer transient processes support efficient, large-scale recombinant protein production for research studies. 相似文献

Recombinant proteins are of great commercial and scientific interest. Yet, most production methods in mammalian cells involve the time- and labor-consuming step of creating stable cell lines. Production methods based on transient gene expression are advantageous in terms of speed and versatility; yet, depending on the transfection protocol, transient transfection faces some bottlenecks such as a priori complex formation, limitations in terms of transfection and production media used and the need for medium exchange prior to and/or after transfection. Published protocols for transfection of suspension-adapted HEK-293 cells with polyethyleneimine have shown great promise in overcoming some of these bottlenecks, but still require a priori complex formation for optimal yields and limit the choice of transfection and production media. Here, we report successful in situ transfection of suspension-adapted HEK-293 cells with 25-kDa linear polyethyleneimine at densities up to 20 x 10(6) cells/mL in complex media followed by production at lower cell densities (1 x 10(6) cells/mL). After concentrating cells to such high densities, transfection of HEK-293 cells becomes possible in most commonly used media and is not restricted to a specific medium. Furthermore, there is no need to make transfection complexes a priori, a step that prevents inline sterile filtration of the DNA bulk for transfection, an important consideration when scaling processes up to 100 or 1,000 L. Finally, transfecting HEK-293 cells at high density in complex media is superior to existing transfection protocols and doubles yields of recombinant protein obtainable by transient gene expression. 相似文献

Transient gene expression in mammalian cells is an efficient process to produce recombinant proteins for various research applications and large molecule therapeutics development. For the first time, we report a screen to identify human microRNAs (miRNAs) that increase titers after polyethylenimine (PEI) mediated transient transfection of a HEK293 cell line. From a library of 875 miRNAs, we identified 2 miRNAs, miR‐26a‐5p and miR‐337‐5p, that increased human IgG1 (huIgG1) yields by 50 and 25%, respectively. The titer increase was achievable by expressing miR‐26a‐5p from oligonucleotides or a plasmid. Furthermore, combining miR‐26a‐5p with valproic acid (VPA) treatment doubled huIgG1 titers. Assessment of miR‐26a‐5p and VPA treatment across a panel of 32 human and murine antibodies demonstrates that the level of yield enhancement was molecule‐dependent, with most exhibiting a range of 50–100% titer increase. These findings exemplify that combining genetic and chemical manipulation can be an effective strategy to enhance transient transfection productivity. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Safety requirements for adenoviral gene therapy protocols have led to the development of the third generation of vectors commonly called helper-dependent adenoviral vectors (HDVs). HDVs have demonstrated a high therapeutic potential; however, the poor efficiency and reliability of the actual production process hampers further large-scale clinical evaluation of this new vector. The current HDV production methods involve a preliminary rescue step through transfection of adherent cell cultures by an HDV plasmid followed by a helper adenovirus (HV) infection. Amplification by serial co-infection of complementary cells allows an increase in the HDV titer. Using a HEK293 FLP/frt cell system in suspension culture, an alternative protocol to the current transfection/infection procedure was evaluated. In this work, the adenofection uses the HDV plasmid linked to the HV with the help of polyethylenimine (PEI) and has shown to outperform standard protocols by producing higher HDV yield. The influence of complex composition on the HDV production was examined by a statistical design. The optimized adenofection and amplification conditions were successively performed to generate HDV at the 3 L bioreactor scale. Following only two serial co-infection passages, up to 1.44 x 10(8) HDV infectious units/mL of culture were generated, which corresponded to 26% of the total particles produced. This production strategy, realized in cell suspension culture, reduced process duration and therefore the probability of vector recombination by introducing a cost-effective transfection protocol, ensuring production of high-quality vector stock. 相似文献

Transient gene expression (TGE) in mammalian cells at the reactor scale is becoming increasingly important for the rapid production of recombinant proteins. We improved a process for transient calcium phosphate-based transfection of HEK293-EBNA cells in a 1-3 L bioreactor volume. Cells were adapted to suspension culture using a commercially available medium (BioWhittaker, Walkersville, MD). Process parameters were optimized using a plasmid reporter vector encoding the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP/CLONTECH, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Using GFP as a marker-protein, we observed by microscopic examination transfection efficiencies between 70-100%. Three different recombinant proteins were synthesized within a timeframe of 7 days from time of transfection to harvest. The first, a human recombinant IgG(1)-type antibody, was secreted into the supernatant of the cell culture and achieved a final concentration of >20 mg/L. An E. coli-derived DNA-binding protein remained intracellular, as expected, but accumulated to such a concentration that the lysate of cells, taken up into the entire culture volume, gave a concentration of 18 mg/L. The third protein, a transmembrane receptor, was expressed at 3-6 x 10(6) molecules/cell. 相似文献

In order to establish a simple and scaleable transfection system we have used the cationic polymer polyethylenimine (PEI)
to study transient transfection in HEK293 and 293(EBNA) cells grown in serum-free suspension culture. The transfection complexes
were made directly within the cell culture by consecutively adding plasmid and PEI (direct method). Alternatively, the DNA-PEI
transfection complexes were prepared in fresh medium (1/10 culture volume) and then added to the cells (indirect method).
The results of this study clearly show that the ratio of PEI nitrogen to DNA phosphate is very important for high expression
levels. The precise ratio is dependent on the DNA concentration. For example, using 1 μg/ml DNA by the indirect method, the
ratio of optimal PEI:DNA was about 10–13:1. However, the ratio increases to 33:1 for 0.1–0.2 μg/ml DNA. By testing several
different molecular weights of the polycationic polymer we could show that the highest transfection efficiency was obtained
with the PEI 25 kDa. Using PEI 25 kDa the indirect method is superior to the direct addition because significantly lower DNA
concentrations are needed. The expression levels of the soluble human TNF receptor p55 are even higher at low DNA compared
to 1 μg/ml plasmid. The EBV-based pREP vectors gave better transient gene expression when used in 293(EBNA) cells compared
to HEK293 cells in suspension culture. No differences in expression levels in the two cell lines were observed when the pC1
(CMV)-TNFR was used. In conclusion, PEI is a low-toxic transfection agent which provides high levels of transient gene expression
in 293(EBNA) cells grown in serum-free suspension culture. This system allows highly reproducible, cost-effective production
of milligram amounts of recombinant proteins in 2–5 l spinner culture scale within 3–5 days. Fermentor scale experiments,
however, are less efficient because the PEI-mediated transient tranfection is inhibited by conditioned medium.

Transient gene expression in mammalian cells is an efficient process for producing recombinant proteins for various research applications to support large molecule therapeutics development. For the first time, we report a high throughput small molecule (SM) screen to identify novel compounds that increase antibody titers after polyethylenimine (PEI) transient transfection of a HEK293 cell line. After screening 31,413 SMs in a 50 μL scaled‐down process, we validated 164 SMs to improve yields by up to twofold. The titer increase mediated by the SMs varied for different antibodies. SM dose optimizations resulted in almost threefold higher titers. The top 2, structurally distinct SM hits, increased antibody titers more than twofold in a 1 mL production process. Averaged across three antibodies of different expression levels, the compounds enhanced transient productivity by ~80%. Intriguingly, both compounds arrested cells in the G2/M cell cycle phase leading to a decrease in growth and nutrient consumption, while elevating titer, nuclear plasmid DNA (pDNA) copy numbers, and mRNA levels. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Mammalian expression systems have an undisputed long-standing and very successful history for the generation of recombinant
proteins, mainly as biopharmaceuticals. However, for use as ‘tool proteins’ in, e.g. assay development and screening, for
structure elucidation and as antigens these expression systems were generally regarded as being cumbersome, tedious and expensive.
This bias has largely been overcome with the very recent development of large-scale transient transfection (LST) approaches.
Especially the HEK.EBNA expression system described here has contributed significantly to this success. The simplicity and
speed of this approach compares well with expression trials using the widely applied Baculovirus/insect cell system. In addition,
proteins generated in mammalian cells are usually correctly folded, fully processed and functionally active. 相似文献

Using transient expression, high amounts (>20 mg/mL) of secreted anti-human Rhesus-D IgG1 were produced in a suspension-adapted HEK293 EBNA cell line (Meissner et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 75: 197-203, 2001). Time of harvest was 3 days after transfection. For the estimation of transfection efficiencies, we routinely co-transfected EGFP reporter DNA. At higher reporter plasmid concentrations, >2% of total transfecting plasmid DNA, a substantial reduction of recombinant antibody synthesis, was observed. This phenomenon was investigated in detail by co-expressing various green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter constructs, which were targeted at different subcellular locations. Enhanced and humanized GFPs targeted to either the endoplasmic reticulum, the cytosol, or the nucleus reduced recombinant antibody production by 30 to 40% when present at higher concentrations in the transfection solution. The most severe effects were observed when the co-transfected EGFP was targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum, leading to a reduction of up to 80% in the presence of only 5% of reporter DNA. Interestingly, one nuclear-targeted GFP variant that was not codon optimized for expression in human cell lines could be added, to up to almost half of the total amount of transfecting DNA, without adverse effect on antibody production. Although the minimum amount of this reporter DNA needed for fluorescence reading was 10 times higher than for the other variants, it provided a much broader quantity range within which the transfection process could be studied without being negatively affected. 相似文献

We describe a generic plasmid purification process for producing DNA for larger-scale transient transfection. Data on plasmid
quality with regard to residual protein, endotoxin content and presence of different plasmid forms is given. The effects of
contaminants and plasmid forms on expression levels of TNFRp55 and SEAP are discussed. Transient transfection of serum-free
suspension grown mammalian cells represents a suitable approach to provide research quantities of proteins (50–100 mg) within1–2
weeks.

This is the first report of two successful 100 l scale transienttransfections in a standard stirred bioreactor. More than half a gram of a monoclonal antibody (IgG) were produced in less than 10 days using a technology called large-scale transient gene expression(LS-TGE). Suspension adapted HEK 293 EBNA SF cells were transfectedwithin a 150 l (nominal) bioreactor by a modified calcium phosphateco-precipitation method with more than 75 mg of plasmid DNA per run.A mixture of three different plasmids, one encoding for the heavychain of a human recombinant immunoglobulin, the other for the corresponding light chain and a third one for the green fluorescent protein (GFP, 2–4% of DNA in transfection cocktail)were co-transfected. The GFP vector was chosen to monitor transfection efficiency. Expression of GFP could be registered asearly as 20 h after DNA addition, using fluorescence microscopy. We demonstrate that transient transfection can be done at the100 l scale, thus providing a new tool to produce hundreds of milligrams or even gram amounts of recombinant protein. Akey advantage of LS-TGE resides in its speed. In the presentedcases, the entire production process for the synthesis of halfa gram of a recombinant antibody, including DNA preparationand necessary expansion of cells prior to transfection, wasexecuted in less than a month. Having an established transfection/expression process allows to run productioncampaigns for any given protein, within one facility, with onesingle host cell line and therefore only one single seed train. Without any need to create and maintain stable cell lines, expression of new r-proteins is not only faster and more economical but also more flexible. 相似文献

The ectodomain of human FcgammaRI (rsCD64) was expressed in HEK 293T cells and purified by immobilized-metal affinity chromatography. Binding activity to human IgG was verified by ELISA and the isotype-specificity determined by a surface plasmon resonance inhibition assay was found to be the same as for native CD64. The active concentration of the rsCD64 preparation was derived using a solution competition assay and was used for the subsequent kinetic analysis. Binding curves were well described by a simple monovalent interaction model confirming the known stoichiometry of the interaction. Mass-transport limitation was prevented by using sufficiently low surface capacities. For binding to the recombinant mouse/human chimeric antibody cPIPP (IgG1/kappa) a high association rate of k(ass)=1.7 x 10(6) (M s)(-1) and a low dissociation rate of k(diss)=1.8 x 10(-4) s(-1) were observed. The derived dissociation equilibrium constant of K(D)=110 pM was significantly lower than that reported for binding to native FcgammaRI. 相似文献

One of the major limitations in the production of adenoviral vectors is the reduction in cell-specific productivity observed for increasing cell density at infection in batch cultures. This observation strongly suggests some nutrient depletion and/or metabolite inhibition in the media. These limitations have been partially overcome through other feeding strategies, such as fed-batch and sequential batch operations. To improve these results, we evaluated perfusion as a strategy to increase the volumetric productivity of HEK-293 cell cultures, by allowing productive infection at higher cell densities. An acoustic cell separator was employed in consideration of the increased shear sensitivity of the cells during the infection phase. The effects of perfusion rate and cell density at infection on the production of a recombinant adenovirus expressing the GFP were investigated. The perfusion mode allowed successful infection at cell densities in the range of 2.4-3 x 10(6) cell/mL, while maintaining a similar cell specific productivity (17,900 +/- 2400 VP/cell) to that of a batch infected at a low cell density (5 x 10(5) cell/mL). The highest virus concentrations (4.1 +/- 0.6 x 10(10) VP/mL) were attained for a feed rate of 2 vol/d and constituted a fivefold increase compared to a batch with medium replacement. Rapid assessment of the infection status was achieved through the use of on-line monitoring of respiration, fluorescence, and biovolume. Analysis of the kinetics of nutrient consumption and metabolite production revealed that a reduction in specific productivity is correlated with reduced metabolic activity. 相似文献

The extracellular domain of human parathyroid Ca2+ receptor was needed in order to study itsstructure and clinical application. The Ca2+receptor is a unique member of the G protein-coupledreceptor super-family, expressed in parathyroid andkidney cells where it has been shown to play acritical role in extracellular calcium homeostasis.The desired protein was produced by immobilizing thetransformed HEK 293 cells in a packed-bedconfiguration using a 1.6 l (working volume)bioreactor equipped with a vertical mixing impellerassembly and an internal basket. The process includeda propagation phase followed by a production phase. Inthe propagation phase, lasting approximately 160 h, the bed was perfused with a serum-containingmedium, allowing the cells to grow at a constantgrowth rate to approximately 3 × 1010. At this point the production phase was begun, replacing themedium with serum-free medium and continuing theperfusion process for additional 350 h. Duringthis phase, the medium was pumped through the packedbed at a rate of 4–6 l per day, keeping theresidual glucose concentration around 1 g l-1 andcollecting and processing approximately 80 l ofspent medium. This continuous perfusion method of thepacked-bed bioreactor was compared to a repeated batchmethod in which existing medium was replenished whenthe glucose concentration was down to 1 g l-1. Using this method, serum-free medium was replaced withserum containing medium a few times when a decline inthe glucose consumption was observed. Though mediumconsumption and protein yield are similar in bothmethods (roughly 10 mg l-1), there aredifferences related to the ease of operation andprocessing of the produced protein. The continuousperfusion operation was found to be preferable and waschosen as the production strategy. 相似文献
