Batch and continuous cultures were carried out to study the stoichiometry, kinetics, and regulation of glucose and amino acid metabolism of a recombinant BHK cell line, with particular attention to the metabolism at low levels of glucose and glutamine. The apparent yields of cells on glucose and glutamine, lactate on glucose, and ammonium on glutamine were all found to change significantly at low residual concentrations of glucose (<5 mmol/L) and glutamine (<1 mmol/L) . The uptake rates of glucose and glutamine were markedly reduced at low concentrations, leading to a more effective utilization of these nutrients for energy metabolism and biosynthesis and reduced formation rates of lactate and ammonium. However, the consumption of other amino acids, especially the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine and the nonessential amino acids serine and glutamate, was strongly enhanced at low glutamine concentration. Quantitatively, it was shown that the cellular yields and rates associated with glucose metabolism were primarily determined by the residual glucose concentration, while those associated with glutamine metabolism depended mainly on the residual glutamine. Both experimental results and analysis of the kinetic data with models showed that the glucose metabolism of BHK cells is not affected by glutamine except for a slight influence under glucose limitation and glutaminolysis not by glucose, at least not significantly under the experimental conditions. Compared to hybridoma and other cultured animal cells, the recombinant BHK cell line showed remarkable differences in terms of nutrient sensitivity, stoichiometry, and amino acid metabolism at low levels of nutrients. These cell-line-specific stoichiometry and nutrient needs should be considered when designing an optimal medium and/or feeding strategy for achieving high cell density and high productivity of BHK cells. In this work, a cell density of 1.1 × 107 cells/mL was achieved in a conventional continuous culture by using a proper feed medium. 相似文献

Metabolic rewiring is an established hallmark of cancer, but the details of this rewiring at a systems level are not well characterized. Here we acquire this insight in a melanoma cell line panel by tracking metabolic flux using isotopically labeled nutrients. Metabolic profiling and flux balance analysis were used to compare normal melanocytes to melanoma cell lines in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. All melanoma cells exhibited the Warburg phenomenon; they used more glucose and produced more lactate than melanocytes. Other changes were observed in melanoma cells that are not described by the Warburg phenomenon. Hypoxic conditions increased fermentation of glucose to lactate in both melanocytes and melanoma cells (the Pasteur effect). However, metabolism was not strictly glycolytic, as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle was functional in all melanoma lines, even under hypoxia. Furthermore, glutamine was also a key nutrient providing a substantial anaplerotic contribution to the TCA cycle. In the WM35 melanoma line glutamine was metabolized in the "reverse" (reductive) direction in the TCA cycle, particularly under hypoxia. This reverse flux allowed the melanoma cells to synthesize fatty acids from glutamine while glucose was primarily converted to lactate. Altogether, this study, which is the first comprehensive comparative analysis of metabolism in melanoma cells, provides a foundation for targeting metabolism for therapeutic benefit in melanoma. 相似文献

In this study the effects of ammonium and lactate on a culture of channel catfish ovary (CCO) cells were examined. We also
made investigation on the influence of glutamine, since our previous research revealed that this amino acid stimulated CCO
cell growth more than glucose in a concentration-dependent manner. The effect of ammonium in cell culture included the considerable
decrease in cell growth rate with eventual growth arrest as well as the retardation of glucose consumption. At ammonium concentrations
above 2.5 mM, the cells displayed specific morphological changes. The effect of lactate was different to that of ammonium
since the cell growth rate was progressively decreasing with the increase of lactate concentration, whereas the glucose consumption
rate remained almost unchanged. Besides that, it was found that lactate was steadily eliminated from the culture medium when
its initial concentration was relatively high. The influence of glutamine on CCO cell propagation showed that nutrient requirements
of this cell line were mainly dependent on glutamine rather than glucose. The increase in glutamine concentration led to the
increase in cell growth rate and consequent ammonia accumulation while the glucose utilization and lactate production were
reduced. Without glutamine in culture medium cell growth was arrested. However, the lack of glucose reversed the stimulating
effect of glutamine by decreasing cell growth rate and affecting amino acid utilization. 相似文献

The metabolism of hybridoma cells was controlled to reduce metabolic formation in fed-batch cultures by dynamically feeding
a salt-free nutrient concentrate. For this purpose, on-line oxygen uptake rate (OUR) measurement was used to estimate the
metabolic demand of hybridoma cells and to determine the feeding rate of a concentrated solution of salt-free DMEM/F12 medium
supplemented with other medium components. The ratios among glucose, glutamine and other medium components in the feeding
nutrient concentrate were adjusted stoichiometrically to provide balanced nutrient conditions for cell growth. Through on-line
control of the feeding rate of the nutrient concentrate, both glucose and glutamine concentrations were maintained at low
levels of 0.5 and 0.2 mM respectively during the growth stage. The concentrations of the other essential amino acids were
also maintained without large fluctuations. The cell metabolism was altered from that observed in batch cultures resulting
in a significant reduction of lactate, ammonia and alanine production. Compared to a previously reported fed-batch culture
in which only glucose was maintained at a low level and only a reduced lactate production was observed, this culture has also
reduced the production of other metabolites, such as ammonium and alanine. As a result, a high viable cell concentration of
more than 1.0 × 107 cells/mL was achieved and sustained over an extended period. The results demonstrate an efficient nutrient feeding strategy
for controlling cell metabolism to achieve and sustain a high viable cell concentration in fed-batch mammalian cell cultures
in order to enhance the productivity.

The growth of two lymphocyte cell lines, a hybridoma cell line and a human cutaneous T cell lymphoma (HuT78), was studied in fed-batch culture, and unstructured models of growth developed. A criteria was established to insure that the growth rate varied by less than a specified tolerance throughout the culture period. Glutamine and serum were growth-limiting nutrients for both cell lines with half-maximal growth rates at 0. 53 mM glutamine and 0. 55%(v/v) serum for the hybridoma cells and 0. 21 mM glutamine and 1. 5% serum for the HuT-78 cells. Over the range of glucose concentrations from 5. 5 mM to 28 mM, the specific growth rate of hybridoma cells was independent of glucose concentration, whereas glucose concentrations above 5. 5 mM inhibited HuT-78 growth. For both cell lines, the growth rate was significantly inhibited by the addition of ammonium, although the hybridoma cell line was more affected by ammonia than was the HuT-78 cell line. Growth of HuT-78 cells increased in the presence of interleukin-2. Unstructured models for the hybridoma cells were similar to other models presented in the literature. Applications of these models to adoptive immunotherapy are discussed. 相似文献

Glucose and glutamine metabolism in several cultured mammalian cell lines (BHK, CHO, and hybridoma cell lines) were investigated by correlating specific utilization and formation rates with specific maximum activities of regulatory enzymes involved in glycolysis and glutaminolysis. Results were compared with data from two insect cell lines and primary liver cells. Flux distribution was measured in a representative mammalian (BHK) and an insect (Spodoptera frugiperda) cell line using radioactive substrates. A high degree of similarity in many aspects of glucose and glutamine metabolism was observed among the cultured mammalian cell lines examined. Specific glucose utilization rates were always close to specific hexokinase activities, indicating that formation of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose (catalyzed by hexokinase) is the rate limiting step of glycolysis. No activity of the key enzymes connecting glycolysis with the tricarboxylic acid cycle, such as pyruvate dehydrogenase, pyruvate carboxylase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, could be detected. Flux distribution in BHK cells showed glycolytic rates very similar to lactate formation rates. No glucose- or pyruvate-derived carbon entered the tricarboxylic acid cycle, indicating that glucose is mainly metabolized via glycolysis and lactate formation. About 8% of utilized glucose was metabolized via the pentose phosphate shunt, while 20 to 30% of utilized glucose followed pathways other than glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, or the pentose phosphate shunt. About 18% of utilized glutamine was oxidized, consistent with the notion that glutamine is the major energy source for mammalian cell lines. Mammalian cells cultured in serum-free low-protein medium showed higher utilization rates, flux rates, and enzyme activities than the same cells cultured in serum-supplemented medium. Insect cells oxidized glucose and pyruvate in addition to glutamine. Furthermore, insect cells produced little or no lactate and were able to channel glycolytic intermediates into the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Metabolic profiles of the type presented here for a variety of cell lines may eventually enable one to interfere with the metabolic patterns of cells relevant to biotechnology, with the hope of improving growth rate and/or productivity. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The glutamine requirement for thein vitro proliferation of fish cells was investigated with cell lines from four different species and three tissues: goldfish skin (GFSk-S1), Chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214), and raibow trout liver (RTL-W1) and spleen (RTSp-W1). With a supplement of fetal bovine serum, the basal medium, Leibovitz's L-15, without glutamine supported the proliferation of all four cell lines as well, or nearly as well, as L-15 with 2 mM glutamine. This was true over short term assays of two to four weeks and for continuous propagation. CHSE-214 also grew as well with or without 2 mM glutamine in Minimum Essential Medium with fetal bovine serum. However, when the supplement was dialyzed fetal bovine serum, CHSE-214 grew much better in L-15 without glutamine. Therefore, glutamine was not required for growth in L-15, and in fact, was inhibitory in the absence of the dialyzable fraction of serum. By contrast, glutamine appeared to be important for growth in Minimum Essential Medium. When the supplement was dialyzed fetal bovine serum, CHSE-214 grew much better in Minimum Essential Medium with 2 mM glutamine. These results suggest that the glutamine requirement for thein vitro proliferation of fish cells is conditional and depends on the basal medium and serum supplement.Abbreviations BSA

In the past few years, Drosophila melanogaster cells have been employed for recombinant protein production purposes, and a comprehensive knowledge of their metabolism is essential for process optimization. In this work, the kinetic response of a Schneider S2 cell line, grown in shake flasks, in two different culture media, the serum-free SF900-II® and the serum-supplemented TC-100, was evaluated. Cell growth, amino acids and glucose uptake, and lactate synthesis were measured allowing the calculation of kinetic parameters. The results show that S2 cells metabolism was able to adjust to different environmental situations, as determined by medium formulation, as well as by the particular situation resulting from the culture conditions. Cells attained a 163% higher final cell concentration (1.4 × 107 cells mL−1) in SF900 II® medium, when compared to serum-supplemented TC-100 medium. Also, a maximum specific cell growth rate 52% higher in SF900 II® medium, when compared to serum-supplemented TC-100 one, was observed. Glutamine was the growth limiting factor in SF900 II® medium, while glucose, sometimes associated with glutamine, controlled growth in serum-supplemented TC-100 medium based formulation. The different pattern of lactate production is an example of the versatility of the metabolism of these cells. This by-product was produced only in glutamine limitation, but the amount synthesized depended not only on the excess glucose, but on other medium components. Therefore, in serum-supplemented TC-100 medium a much smaller lactate amount was generated. Besides, glucose was identified not only as a growth limiting factor, but also as a viability limiting factor, since its depletion accelerated cell death. 相似文献

It is still unknown how insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) regulates cancer cell growth in the condition of the limited availability of key nutrients, such as glutamine. We investigated the effects of IGF-I on cell growth and amino acid transport in a glutamine-deprived human neuroblastoma cell line, SK-N-SH. Cell growth was measured, and 3H-labeled amino acid transport was assayed after treatment with or without IGF-I (50 ng/ml) in 2 mM (control) and 100 μM glutamine concentrations. Cell growth rates were dependent on glutamine concentrations. IGF-I stimulated cell growth in both 2 mM and 100 μM glutamine. IGF-I stimulated glutamine transport in 100 μM glutamine with the mechanism of increasing carrier Vmax, but had no effect in 2 mM glutamine. IGF-I also stimulated leucine, glutamate and 2-(methylamino)isobutyric acid transport in 100 μM glutamine. There were significant increases in [3H]thymidine and [3H]leucine incorporation in IGF-I-treated cells in both 2 mM and 100 μM glutamine. These data suggest that IGF-I stimulates cell growth by increasing amino acid transport in the condition of low glutamine levels in a human neuroblastoma cell line. This mechanism may allow to maintain cell growth even in nutrient-deprived tumor tissues. 相似文献

A global kinetic study of the central metabolism of Vero cells cultivated in a serum‐free medium is proposed in the present work. Central metabolism including glycolysis, glutaminolysis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) was demonstrated to be saturated by high flow rates of consumption of the two major substrates, glucose, and glutamine. Saturation was reavealed by an accumulation of metabolic intermediates and amino acids, by a high production of lactate needed to balance the redox pathway, and by a low participation of the carbon flow to the TCA cycle supply. Different culture conditions were set up to reduce the central metabolism saturation and to better balance the metabolic flow rates between lactate production and energetic pathways. From these culture conditions, substitutions of glutamine by other carbon sources, which have lower transport rates such as asparagine, or pyruvate in order to shunt the glycolysis pathway, were successful to better balance the central metabolism. As a result, an increase of the cell growth with a concomitant decrease of cell death and a better distribution of the carbon flow between TCA cycle and lactate production occurred. We also demonstrated that glutamine was a major carbon source to supply the TCA cycle in Vero cells and that a reduction of lactate production did not necessary improve the efficiency of the Vero cell metabolism. Thus, to adapt the formulation of the medium to the Vero cell needs, it is important to provide carbon substrates inducing a regulated supply of carbon in the TCA cycle either through the glycolysis or through other pathways such as glutaminolysis. Finally, this study allowed to better understand the Vero cell behavior in serum‐free medium which is a valuable help for the implementation of this cell line in serum‐free industrial production processes.

A mouse-mouse hybridoma cell line (167.4G5.3) was cultivated in a 1.5-L stirred-tank bioreactor under constant pH and dissolved oxygen concentration. The transient kinetics of cell growth, metabolism, and antibody production were followed by biochemical and flow cytometric methods. The cell-specific kinetic parameters (growth and metabolic rates) as well as cell size were constant throughout the exponential phase. Intracellular protein and RNA content followed a similar trend. Cell growth stopped when the glutamine in the medium was depleted. Glucose could not substitute for glutamine, as glucose consumption ceased after glutamine depletion. Ammonia and lactate production followed closely glutamine and glucose consumption, respectively. Alanine, glutamate, serine, and glycine were produced but other amino acids were consumed. The cells are estimated to obtain about 45% of the total energy from glycolysis, with the balance of the metabolic energy provided by oxidative phosphorylation. The antibody was produced at a constant rate in both the exponential and decline phases of growth. The intracellular antibody content of the cells remained relatively constant during the exponential phase of growth and decreased slightly afterwards. 相似文献

The effects of serum, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, and medium pH on hybridoma cell physiology were examined in a controlled batch bioreactor using a murine hybridoma cell line (167.4G5.3). The effect of serum was also studied for a second murine hybridoma cell line (S3H5/gamma 2bA). Cell growth, viability, cell density, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, respiration and energy production rates, and antibody production rates were studied. Cell growth was enhanced and cell death was decreased by increasing the serum level. The growth rates followed a Monod-type model with serum being the limiting component. Specific glucose, glutamine, and oxygen uptake rates and specific lactate and ammonia production rates did not change with serum concentrations. Amino acid metabolism was slightly influenced by the serum level. Cell growth rates were not influenced by DO between 20% and 80% air saturation, while the specific death rates were lowest at 20-50% air saturation. Glucose and glutamine uptake rates increased at DO above 10% and below 5% air saturation. Cell growth rate was optimal at pH 7.2. Glucose and glutamine uptake rates, as well as lactate and ammonia production rates, increased above pH 7.2. Metabolic rates for glutamine and ammonia were also higher below pH 7.2. The consumption or production rates of amino acids followed the glutamine consumption very closely. Cell-specific oxygen uptake rate was insensitive to the levels of serum, DO, and pH. Theoretical calculations based on experimentally determined uptake rates indicated that the ATP production rates did not change significantly with serum and DO while it increased continually with increasing pH. The oxidative phosphorylation accounted for about 60% of total energy production. This contribution, however, increased at low pH values to 76%. The specific antibody production rate was not growth associated and was independent of serum and DO concentrations and medium pH above 7.20. A 2-fold increase in specific antibody production rates was observed at pH values below 7.2. Higher concentrations of antibody were obtained at high serum levels, between 20% and 40% DO, and at pH 7.20 due to higher viable cell numbers obtained. 相似文献

Background: Glutamine is routinely added to most cell cultures. Glutamine has been found to be the preferential nutrient to the rapidly replicating intestinal mucosa, but whether this is a metabolic effect or due to other properties of this amino acid is not determined. To study the importance of glutamine on the growth of two enterocyte-like cell lines, the effects of depriving the media or supplementing it with glutamine were assessed in media with different serum and energy supplements. Methods: CaCo-2 and HT-29 cells were grown in serum-free medium, with fetal bovine or synthetic serum, and with or without glucose or galactose. The glutamine content was varied between 0 and 4 mM. All growth assays were performed in triplicate by counting in a hemocytometer. Results: Both cell lines were dependent of serum factors for growth, but displayed distinct requirements on glutamine supplementation. Glutamine was an obligate supplement with dose-dependent correlation to growth (r=0.87, p<0.01) for CaCo-2 cells cultured in synthetic, but not in fetal bovine serum. In HT-29 cells, the correlation between glutamine and growth was significant (r=0,68, p<0,05) only in fetal bovine serum in the absence of galactose. Conclusion: This study shows that glutamine has different growth stimulating effects on two enterocyte-like cell lines studied. This could reflect different modes of action of glutamine on proliferation and differentiation in an enterocyte cell population. 相似文献

In this work, a BHK21 clone producing a recombinant antibody/cytokine fusion protein was used to study the dependence of
cell metabolism on the glucose and glutamine levels in the culture medium. Results obtained indicate that both glucose and
glutamine consumptions show a Michaelis-Menten dependence on glucose and glutamine concentrations respectively. A similar
dependence is also observed for lactate and ammonia productions. The estimated value of the Michaelis constant for the dependence
of lactate production on glucose (K
Glc
Lac) was 1.4 ± 0.1 mM and for the dependence of ammonia production on glutamine (K
Gln
Amm) was 0.25 ± 0.11 mM and 0.10 ± 0.03 mM, at glucose concentrations of 0.28 mM and 5.6 mM respectively. At very low glucose
concentrations, the glucose to lactate yield decreased markedly, showing a metabolic shift towards lower lactate production.
This␣metabolic shift was also confirmed by the significant increase in the specific oxygen consumption rate also observed
at low glucose concentrations. Although it was␣highly dependent on glucose concentration, the oxygen consumption also increased
with the increase in␣glutamine concentration. At very low glutamine concentrations, the glutamine to ammonia yield increased,
showing a more efficient glutamine metabolism.

Selective amino acid restriction targets mitochondria resulting in DU145 and PC3 prostate cancer cell death. This study shows that restriction of tyrosine and phenylalanine (Tyr/Phe), glutamine (Gln), or methionine (Met) differentially modulates glucose metabolism, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), p53, and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) in these two cell lines. In DU145 cells, Gln and Met restriction increase glucose consumption, but Tyr/Phe restriction does not. Addition of glucose to culture media diminishes cell death induced by Tyr/Phe‐restriction. Addition of pyruvate reduces cell death due to Tyr/Phe and Gln restriction. Tyr/Phe, Gln and Met restriction increase phosphorylation of GSK3β‐Ser9, phosphorylation of p53‐Ser15 and reduce the mitochondrial localization of PDH. Addition of glucose or pyruvate to cultures significantly reverses the alterations in GSK3β, p53 and PDH induced by amino acid restriction. In p53‐null PC3 cells, Tyr/Phe, Gln and Met restriction decreases glucose consumption, reduces phosphorylation of Akt‐Ser473, and increases phosphorylation of GSK3β‐Ser9. Addition of pyruvate or glucose reduces death of Met‐restricted cells. Addition of glucose increases phosphorylation of Akt‐Ser473 in amino acid‐restricted cells reduces phosphorylation of GSK3β‐Ser9 in Tyr/Phe and Gln restricted cells and increases phosphorylation of GSK3β‐Ser9 in Met restricted cells. Addition of pyruvate reduces phosphorylation of GSK3β‐Ser9 in all amino acid‐restricted cells. In summary, cell death induced by specific amino acid restriction is dependent on or closely related to the modulation of glucose metabolism. GSK3β (DU145 and PC3) and p53 (DU145) are crucial switches connecting metabolism and these signaling molecules to cell survival during amino acid restriction. J. Cell.

The effects of the glucose supply on growth and metabolism of an SP2/0 derived recombinant myeloma cell line were studied in chemostat culture during growth on IMDM medium at a fixed dilution rate of 0.032 h?1. Lowering of the feed medium glucose concentration from 25.0 to 1.4 mmol/L resulted in a decrease of steady-state viable cell concentration from 1.9 × 109 L?1, whereas viability remained above 90%. Mass balances indicated that only a minor amount of glucose was utilized via the TCA cycle irrespective of the glucose concentration in the feed medium. The apparent biosynthetic yield of cells from ATP was independent of the ratio between the specific glucose and glutamine consumption rate. It is concluded that the primary role of glucose is the provision of intermediates for anabolic reactions. In addition, glucose may play an indirect catabolic role in the process of glutaminolysis by providing the pyruvate for the transamination of glutamate to alanine and α-ketoglutarate. At low glucose concentrations in the feed medium, glutamine is probably the sole energy source for this myeloma in chemostat culture. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

In mammalian cell cultures, ammonia that is released into the medium as a result of glutamine metabolism and lactate that is excreted due to incomplete glucose oxidation are both known to essentially inhibit the growth of cells. For some cell lines, for example, hybridoma cells, excreted ammonia also has an effect on product formation. Although glutamine has been generally considered as the major energy source for mammalian cells, it was recently found that various adherent cell lines (MDCK, CHO-K1, and BHK21) can grow as well in glutamine-free medium, provided glutamine is substituted with pyruvate. In such a medium the level of both ammonia and lactate released was significantly reduced. In this study, metabolic flux analysis (MFA) was applied to Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells cultivated in glutamine-containing and glutamine-free medium. The results of the MFA allowed further investigation of the influence of glutamine substitution with pyruvate on the metabolism of MDCK cells during different growth stages of adherent cells, e.g., early exponential and late contact-inhibited phase. Pyruvate seemed to directly enter the TCA cycle, whereas most of the glucose consumed was excreted as lactate. Although the exact mechanisms are not clear so far, this resulted in a reduction of the glucose uptake necessary for cellular metabolism in glutamine-free medium. Furthermore, consumption of ATP by futile cycles seemed to be significantly reduced when substituting glutamine with pyruvate. These findings imply that glutamine-free medium favors a more efficient use of nutrients by cells. However, a number of metabolic fluxes were similar in the two cultivations considered, e.g., most of the amino acid uptake and degradation rates or fluxes through the branch of the TCA cycle converting alpha-ketoglutarate to malate, which is responsible for the mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Besides, the specific rate of cell growth was approximately the same in both cultivations. Thus, the switch from glutamine-containing to glutamine-free medium with pyruvate provided a series of benefits without dramatic changes of cellular metabolism. 相似文献

Verapamil has been shown to inhibit glucose transport in several cell types. However, the consequences of this inhibition on central metabolism are not well known. In this study we focused on verapamil induced changes in metabolic fluxes in a murine atrial cell line (HL-1 cells). These cells were adapted to serum free conditions and incubated with 4 μM verapamil and [U-13C5] glutamine. Specific extracellular metabolite uptake/production rates together with mass isotopomer fractions in alanine and glutamate were implemented into a metabolic network model to calculate metabolic flux distributions in the central metabolism. Verapamil decreased specific glucose consumption rate and glycolytic activity by 60%. Although the HL-1 cells show Warburg effect with high lactate production, verapamil treated cells completely stopped lactate production after 24 h while maintaining growth comparable to the untreated cells. Calculated fluxes in TCA cycle reactions as well as NADH/FADH2 production rates were similar in both treated and untreated cells. This was confirmed by measurement of cell respiration. Reduction of lactate production seems to be the consequence of decreased glucose uptake due to verapamil. In case of tumors, this may have two fold effects; firstly depriving cancer cells of substrate for anaerobic glycolysis on which their growth is dependent; secondly changing pH of the tumor environment, as lactate secretion keeps the pH acidic and facilitates tumor growth. The results shown in this study may partly explain recent observations in which verapamil has been proposed to be a potential anticancer agent. Moreover, in biotechnological production using cell lines, verapamil may be used to reduce glucose uptake and lactate secretion thereby increasing protein production without introduction of genetic modifications and application of more complicated fed-batch processes. 相似文献

Nutrient utilization and byproduct accumulation were monitored in Spodoptera frugiperda Sf-9 and Trichoplusia ni BTI-Tn-5B1-4 (High Fivetrade mark) cell lines during growth and following viral infection in suspension cultures in order to develop a better understanding of cell metabolism and to acquire information relevant to large scale fed-batch bioreactors. The utilization of glucose, dissolved oxygen, and amino acids were monitored in Sf-9 cell cultures grown in Sf-900 II serum-free medium (SFM) and in High Fivetrade mark cell cultures grown in both Sf-900 II and Express Five SFM. Using the optimal medium for each cell line, i.e., Sf-900 II SFM for Sf-9 cells and Express Five SFM for High Fivetrade mark cells, the cell growth rate, maximum cell density, specific glucose and glutamine utilization rates, and specific alanine production rate were comparable during cell growth. In addition, the expression level of recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator was comparable in the two cell lines on a per cell basis. It was found, however, that lactate and ammonia accumulated in High Fivetrade mark cell cultures, but not in Sf-9 cell cultures. In addition, High Fivetrade mark cells utilized asparagine more rapidly than glutamine, whereas Sf-9 cells consumed only minimal asparagine, and the oxygen utilization rate was significantly higher in High Fivetrade mark cell cultures. It was also found that the medium had a significant effect on High Fivetrade mark cell metabolism, e.g., the specific glucose utilization rate and the specific lactate and alanine production rates were significantly higher in Sf-900 II SFM than in Express Five SFM. In addition, the maximum cell density and specific asparagine utilization rate were significantly higher in Express Five SFM. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 55:909-920, 1997. 相似文献

Summary Fructose strongly stimulates the growth of normal diploid human skin fibroblasts (SFs) and induces marked changes in their
morphology and lipid accumulation. This mitogenic effect occurs despite very low fructose consumption and depends on the presence
of glutamine. The cell kinetics of cultured fructose-fed human skin fibroblasts were different from those fed on glucose:
in the presence of fructose a high proliferative index persisted at Day 14 of culture and the duration of the total cell cycle
and of the G1+1/2 M and S phases was slightly shorter. The mitogenic effect of fructose on SF was largest in the presence
of human serum: it was small or undetectable when fibroblasts were cultured in media supplemented with dialyzed human serum,
fetal bovine serum, or serum substitutes. This suggests that serum growth factor(s) mediate the mitogenic effect of fructose.
Only normal diploid human cells seem to be sensitive to this mitogenic effect of fructose: the long-term growth of normal
human liver cells on fructose was slightly better or similar to that on glucose. In contrast, fructose could only support
limited growth of hamster fibroblastic Nil cells and of a transformed human fibroblastic line, which grew better with glucose. 相似文献
