Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the ability to differentiate in vitro into a wide variety of cell types with potential applications for tissue regeneration. However, a large number of cells are required, thus strengthening the need to develop large-scale systems using chemically defined media for ES cell production and/or controlled differentiation. In the present studies, a stirred culture system (i.e. spinner flask) was used to scale-up mouse ES (mES) cell expansion in serum-containing (DMEM/FBS) or serum-free medium, both supplemented with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), using either Cytodex 3 or Cultispher S microcarriers. After 8 days, maximal cell densities achieved were (1.9+/-0.1), (2.6+/-0.7) and 3.5x10(6)cells/mL for Cytodex 3 in DMEM/FBS, Cultispher S in DMEM/FBS and Cultispher S in serum-free cultures, respectively, with fold increases of 38+/-2, 50+/-15 and 70. Both microcarriers were suitable to sustain mES cell expansion, though the macroporous Cultispher S seemed to be advantageous in providing a more protective environment against shear stress forces, which harmful effects are exacerbated in serum-free conditions. Importantly, mES cells expanded under stirred conditions using serum-free medium retained their pluripotency and the ability to commit to the neural lineage.  相似文献

Comparison of manufacturing techniques for adenovirus production   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
We have compared three different production methods, which may be suitable for the large scale production of adenovirus vectors for human clinical trials. The procedures compared 293 cells adapted to suspension growth in serum-free medium in a stirred tank bioreactor, 293 cells on microcarriers in serum-containing medium in a stirred tank bioreactor, and 293 cells grown in standard tissue culture plasticware. With a given virus, yields varied between 2000 and 10,000 infectious units/cell. The stirred tank bioreactor routinely produced between 4000 and 7000 infectious units/cell when 293 cells were grown on microcarriers. The 293 cells adapted to suspension growth in serum-free medium in the same stirred tank bioreactor yielded between 2000 and 7000 infectious units/cell. Yields obtained from standard tissue culture plasticware were up to 10,000 infectious units/cell. Cell culture conditions were monitored for glucose consumption, lactate production, and ammonia accumulation. Glucose consumption and lactate accumulation correlated well with the cell growth parameters. Ammonia production does not appear to be significant. Based on virus yields, ease of operation and linear scalability, large-scale adenovirus production seems feasible using 293 cells (adapted to suspension/serum free medium or on microcarriers in serum containing medium) in a stirred tank bioreactor. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) are being widely explored as promising candidates for cell‐based therapies. Among the different human MSC origins exploited, umbilical cord represents an attractive and readily available source of MSC that involves a non‐invasive collection procedure. In order to achieve relevant cell numbers of human MSC for clinical applications, it is crucial to develop scalable culture systems that allow bioprocess control and monitoring, combined with the use of serum/xenogeneic (xeno)‐free culture media. In the present study, we firstly established a spinner flask culture system combining gelatin‐based Cultispher®S microcarriers and xeno‐free culture medium for the expansion of umbilical cord matrix (UCM)‐derived MSC. This system enabled the production of 2.4 (±1.1) x105 cells/mL (n = 4) after 5 days of culture, corresponding to a 5.3 (±1.6)‐fold increase in cell number. The established protocol was then implemented in a stirred‐tank bioreactor (800 mL working volume) (n = 3) yielding 115 million cells after 4 days. Upon expansion under stirred conditions, cells retained their differentiation ability and immunomodulatory potential. The development of a scalable microcarrier‐based stirred culture system, using xeno‐free culture medium that suits the intrinsic features of UCM‐derived MSC represents an important step towards a GMP compliant large‐scale production platform for these promising cell therapy candidates.  相似文献

Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf-9) insect cells have been grown in serum-free medium in 250-ml spinner flasks. The maximum cell density obtained in these cultures was dependent on the aeration rate of the culture. Similar yields of uninfected cells were obtained when cultures were stirred in spinner flasks at 80 rev min-1 and in a 4-1 stirred-tank bioreactor and the dissolved oxygen in the bioreactor was controlled at 20% of air saturation. Cells were infected with a recombinant baculovirus at different multiplicities of infection: the timing and maximum level of expression of the recombinant protein were dependent on the multiplicity of infection, the cell density at infection, and on the aeration rate of the culture. Oxygen-limited growth resulted in undetectable levels of recombinant protein (< 6 ng recombinant protein 10(-7) cells). Compared with the maximum yields observed in spinner flask cultures, higher levels of recombinant protein were produced when cells were grown and infected in the bioreactor. The level of dissolved oxygen in the bioreactor was controlled at 50% of air saturation.  相似文献

A novel oscillating bioreactor, BelloCell, was successfully applied for the cultivation of Vero cells using serum-free medium, and the production of Japanese encephalitis virus. The BelloCell requires no air sparging, pumping, or agitation, and thus provides a low shear environment. Owing to its simple design, BelloCell is extremely easy to handle and operate. Using this BelloCell (500 ml culture), Vero cells reached a maximum number of 2.8 x 10(9) cells and the Japanese encephalitis virus yield reached 6.91 x 10(11) PFU, versus 9.0 x 10(8) cells and 2.98 x 10(11) PFU using a spinner flask (500 ml) with microcarriers. The cell yield and virus production using BelloCell were markedly higher than with microcarrier culture. The neutralizing capacity of the Japanese encephalitis virus produced using BelloCell was equal to that using a microcarrier system. Therefore, these benefits should enable BelloCell to be adopted as a simple system for high population density cell culture and virus production.  相似文献

The ability to culture hematopoietic cells in readily characterizable and scalable stirred systems, combined with the capability to utilize serum-free medium, will aid the development of clinically attractive bioreactor systems for transplantation therapies. We thus examined the proliferation and differentiation characteristics of peripheral blood (PB) mononuclear cells (MNC), cord blood (CB) MNC, and PB CD34(+) cells in spinner flasks and (control) T-flask cultures in both serum-containing and serum-free media. Hematopoietic cultures initiated from all sources examined (PB MNC, CB MNC, and PB CD34(+) cells) grew well in spinner vessels with either serum-containing or serum-free medium. Culture proliferation in spinner flasks was dependent on both agitator design and RPM as well as on the establishment of critical inoculum densities (ID) in both serum-containing (2 x 10(5) MNC/mL) and serum-free (3 x 10(5) MNC/mL) media. Spinner flask culture of PB MNC in serum-containing medium provided superior expansion of total cells and colony-forming cells (CFC) at high ID (1.2 x 10(6) cells/mL) as compared to T-flask controls. Serum-free spinner culture was comparable, if not superior, to that observed in serum-containing medium. This is the first report of stirred culture of PB or CB MNC, as well as the first report of stirred CD34(+) cell culture. Additionally, this is the first account of serum-free stirred culture of hematopoietic cells from any source.  相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) were cultivated in macroporous gelatin microcarriers (CultiSpher G and CultiSpher S) in spinner flasks and a 5 1 bioreactor. Near-to-confluent cultures were harvested by bead-to-bead transfer where intact microcarriers with cells were transferred from a spinner flask to another spinner flask or to the bioreactor with naked microcarrier beads. Successful bead-to-bead transfer was achieved in various split ratios. The duration of attachment seemed to be important where the direct contact of beads to each other can be achieved by intermittent stirring. Repeated transfers were performed and at least four transfers in spinner flasks were achieved.Two variations of bead-to-bead transfer were performed in the 5 1 bioreactor either by seeding the bioreactor with near-to-confluent beads cultivated in spinner flasks orin situ transfer by adding fresh beads to the bioreactor. As in the spinner case, attachment was achieved by intermittent stirring where donor beads were in close proximity to the acceptor beads. Again successful transfers were obtained as evidenced by the good growth on acceptor beads where cell yields were in the range of 3100–4500 cells/bead.The results suggest that bead-to-bead transfer of CHO-K1 cells can be easily performed and do provide an alternative route to applications where dissolution techniques may not offer an efficient solution.  相似文献

The development of efficient and reproducible culture systems for embryonic stem (ES) cells is an essential pre‐requisite for regenerative medicine. Culture scale‐up ensuring maintenance of cell pluripotency is a central issue, because large amounts of pluripotent cells must be generated to warrant that differentiated cells deriving thereof are transplanted in great amounts and survive the procedure. This study aimed to develop a robust scalable cell expansion system, using a murine embryonic stem cell line that is feeder‐dependent and adapted to serum‐free medium, thus representing a more realistic model for human ES cells. We showed that high concentrations of murine ES cells can be obtained in stirred microcarrier‐based spinner cultures, with a 10‐fold concentration of cells per volume of medium and a 5‐fold greater cell concentration per surface area, as compared to static cultures. No differences in terms of pluripotency and differentiation capability were observed between cells grown in traditional static systems and cells that were replated onto the traditional system after being expanded on microcarriers in the stirred system. This was verified by morphological analyses, quantification of cells expressing important pluripotency markers (Oct‐4, SSEA‐1, and SOX2), karyotype profile, and the ability to form embryoid bodies with similar sizes, and maintaining their intrinsic ability to differentiate into all three germ layers. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Fungal fermentation is very complex in nature due to its nonlinear relationship with the time, especially in batch culture. Growth and production of carbonyl reductase by Geotrichum candidum NCIM 980 have been studied in a laboratory scale stirred tank bioreactor at different pH (uncontrolled and controlled), agitation, aeration and dissolved oxygen concentration. The yield of the process has been calculated in terms of glucose consumed. Initial studies showed that fermenter grown cells have more than 15 times higher activity than that of the shake flask grown cells. The medium pH was found to have unspecific but significant influence on the enzyme productivity. However, at controlled pH 5.5 the specific enzyme activity was highest (306U/mg). Higher agitation had detrimental effect on the cell mass production. Dissolved oxygen concentration was maintained by automatic control of the agitation speed at an aeration rate of 0.6 volume per volume per minute (vvm). Optimization of glucose concentration yielded 21g/l cell mass with and 9.77x10(3)U carbonyl reductase activity/g glucose. Adaptation of different strategies for glucose feeding in the fermenter broth was helpful in increasing the process yield. Feeding of glucose at a continuous rate after 3h of cultivation yielded 0.97g cell mass/g glucose corresponding to 29.1g/l cell mass. Volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (K(L)a) increased with the increasing of agitation rate.  相似文献

Human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cell culture using Essential 8™ xeno-free medium and the defined xeno-free matrix vitronectin was successfully implemented under adherent conditions. This matrix was able to support hiPS cell expansion either in coated plates or on polystyrene-coated microcarriers, while maintaining hiPS cell functionality and pluripotency. Importantly, scale-up of the microcarrier-based system was accomplished using a 50 mL spinner flask, under dynamic conditions. A three-level factorial design experiment was performed to identify optimal conditions in terms of a) initial cell density b) agitation speed, and c) to maximize cell yield in spinner flask cultures. A maximum cell yield of 3.5 is achieved by inoculating 55,000 cells/cm2 of microcarrier surface area and using 44 rpm, which generates a cell density of 1.4x106 cells/mL after 10 days of culture. After dynamic culture, hiPS cells maintained their typical morphology upon re-plating, exhibited pluripotency-associated marker expression as well as tri-lineage differentiation capability, which was verified by inducing their spontaneous differentiation through embryoid body formation, and subsequent downstream differentiation to specific lineages such as neural and cardiac fates was successfully accomplished. In conclusion, a scalable, robust and cost-effective xeno-free culture system was successfully developed and implemented for the scale-up production of hiPS cells.  相似文献

Microcarrier cell culture process can be used to culture anchorange-dependent cells in large bioreactor vessels. The process performance in large bioreactors is usually less prominent than that in spinner flask vessels and bench scale reactors. In this study we investigated the microcarrier cell culture processes in 100?ml spinner flask and 15-liter bioreactor cultures, including the kinetics for cell attachment, cell growth and the production of Japanese encephaltilis vaccine strain (Beijing-1) virus. Under a fixed concentration of microcarrier and cell density used in inoculations, the attachment kinetics of Vero cells on Cytodex 1 microcarrier in a 15-liter bioreactor vessel was 2 folds slower than with 100?ml spinner flask culture. Virus replication in 15-liter bioreactor culture also revealed an approximately one day lag-time compared to 100?ml spinner flask culture. Findings presented herein provide valuable information for designing and operating microcarrier cell culture processes in large bioreactor vessels.  相似文献

Summary Lignin peroxidases produced byPhanerochaete chrysosporium have several important potential industrial applications based on their ability to degrade lignin and lignin-like compounds. A stirred tank reactor system for the production of lignin peroxidases is described here. Included in this study is an examination of the mechanics of pellet biocatalyst formation and the optimization of an acetate buffered medium. Higher levels of lignin peroxidase were obtained with acetate buffer compared to the other buffer systems tested. Concentrations of 0.05% (w/v) Tween 80 and 0.4 mM veratryl alcohol gave optimal lignin peroxidase activity in acetate buffered medium. In shake flask cultures, mycelial fragments in the inoculum aggregated into pellets during the first eight hours of incubation and thereafter increased in size through the eighth day. The agitation rate in shake flask cultures affected pellet size, the number of pellets formed, and lignin peroxidase activity. Transfer of fungal pellets from shake flask culture to a continuously oxygenated baffled stirred tank reactor (STR) resulted in production of high lignin peroxidase titres comparable to those of shake flask cultures when the agitation rate, oxygen dispersion and foaming were closely controlled.  相似文献

Cell growth, monoterpenoid oxindole alkaloid (MOA) production, and morphological properties of Uncaria tomentosa cell suspension cultures in a 2-L stirred tank bioreactor were investigated. U. tomentosa (cell line green Uth-3) was able to grow in a stirred tank at an impeller tip speed of 95 cm/s (agitation speed of 400 rpm), showing a maximum biomass yield of 11.9 +/- 0.6 g DW/L and a specific growth rate of 0.102 d(-1). U. tomentosa cells growing in a stirred tank achieved maximum volumetric and specific MOA concentration (467.7 +/- 40.0 microg/L, 44.6 +/- 5.2 microg/g DW) at 16 days of culture. MOA chemical profile of cell suspension cultures growing in a stirred tank resembled that of the plant. Depending on culture time, from the total MOA produced, 37-100% was found in the medium in the bioreactor culture. MOA concentration achieved in a stirred tank was up to 10-fold higher than that obtained in Erlenmeyer flasks (agitated at 110 rpm). In a stirred tank, average area of the single cells of U. tomentosa increased up to 4-fold, and elliptical form factor increased from 1.40 to 2.55, indicating enlargement of U. tomentosa single cells. This work presents the first report of U. tomentosa green cell suspension cultures that grow and produce MOA in a stirred tank bioreactor.  相似文献

Bioengineered functional cardiac tissue is expected to contribute to the repair of injured heart tissue. We previously developed cardiac cell sheets using mouse embryonic stem (mES) cell-derived cardiomyocytes, a system to generate an appropriate number of cardiomyocytes derived from ES cells and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, we established a cultivation system with suitable conditions for expansion and cardiac differentiation of mES cells by embryoid body formation using a three-dimensional bioreactor. Daily conventional medium exchanges failed to prevent lactate accumulation and pH decreases in the medium, which led to insufficient cell expansion and cardiac differentiation. Conversely, a continuous perfusion system maintained the lactate concentration and pH stability as well as increased the cell number by up to 300-fold of the seeding cell number and promoted cardiac differentiation after 10 days of differentiation. After a further 8 days of cultivation together with a purification step, around 1×108 cardiomyocytes were collected in a 1-L bioreactor culture, and additional treatment with noggin and granulocyte colony stimulating factor increased the number of cardiomyocytes to around 5.5×108. Co-culture of mES cell-derived cardiomyocytes with an appropriate number of primary cultured fibroblasts on temperature-responsive culture dishes enabled the formation of cardiac cell sheets and created layered-dense cardiac tissue. These findings suggest that this bioreactor system with appropriate medium might be capable of preparing cardiomyocytes for cell sheet-based cardiac tissue.  相似文献

The main disadvantages of foetal calf serum as the world-wide common serum supplement for cell growth are its content of various proteins of variable concentrations between batches as well as its high cost. The use of serum-free and protein-free media is gradually becoming one of the goals of cell culture especially for standardizing culture conditions or for simple purification of cell products like monoclonal antibodies. The mouse hybridoma cells 14/2/1 were cultivated either in protein-free UltraDOMA medium or in serum-containing RPMI medium with and without microcarriers to generate high quantities of monoclonal antibodies against neuroblastoma tumour cells. Cell growth rate, IgG production, viability, glucose and lactate concentrations, attachment rate and doubling time have been used as investigation criteria. Modifications of culture procedures (static or stirred), inoculum density, and microcarrier concentration caused an improvement of monoclonal antibody production. The kinetics of antibody synthesis was best in spinner culture with 2 ml of microcarriers in protein-free medium. These results of short-term microcarrier culture in stirred spinner flasks indicate that IgG yields in protein-free medium 2.5-fold higher to those in serum-supplemented medium can be achieved.  相似文献

Chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CAR‐T) therapies have proven clinical efficacy for the treatment of hematological malignancies. However, CAR‐T cell therapies are prohibitively expensive to manufacture. The authors demonstrate the manufacture of human CAR‐T cells from multiple donors in an automated stirred‐tank bioreactor. The authors successfully produced functional human CAR‐T cells from multiple donors under dynamic conditions in a stirred‐tank bioreactor, resulting in overall cell yields which were significantly better than in static T‐flask culture. At agitation speeds of 200 rpm and greater (up to 500 rpm), the CAR‐T cells are able to proliferate effectively, reaching viable cell densities of >5 × 106 cells ml‐1 over 7 days. This is comparable with current expansion systems and significantly better than static expansion platforms (T‐flasks and gas‐permeable culture bags). Importantly, engineered T‐cells post‐expansion retained expression of the CAR gene and retained their cytolytic function even when grown at the highest agitation intensity. This proves that power inputs used in this study do not affect cell efficacy to target and kill the leukemia cells. This is the first demonstration of human CAR‐T cell manufacture in stirred‐tank bioreactors and the findings present significant implications and opportunities for larger‐scale allogeneic CAR‐T production.  相似文献

Cells of the human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK 293) grown in repeated suspension and perfusion systems were characterized and described. Cell aggregates that formed immediately after the HEK 293 cells were inoculated in stirred vessels in serum-containing Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (D-MEM)/F-12 medium. The mean diameter of the cell aggregates reflecting the aggregate size increased with culture time, shifting from 63 to 239 μm after 1 and 8 days of culture in spinner flasks, respectively. No significant differences in cell performance were observed between HEK 293 cell populations grown as suspended aggregates and those grown as anchored monolayers. Replacing the D-MEM/F-12 with CD 293 medium caused the compact spherical cell aggregates to dissociate into single cells and small irregular aggregates without any apparent effect on cell performance. Moreover, the spherical cell aggregates could reform from individual cells and small aggregates when exposed to the serum-containing D-MEM/F-12 dominant medium. Perfusion culture of HEK 293 cells grown as suspended aggregates in a 7.5-l stirred tank bioreactor for 17 days resulted in a maximum viable cell density of 1.2×107 cells ml−1. These results demonstrate the feasibility and proof-of-concept for using aggregates as an immobilization system in large-scale stirred bioreactors because a small-scale culture can be used as easily as the inoculum for larger bioreactors.The first two authors contributed equally to this work.  相似文献

The production of rifamycins B and SV using glucose as main C-source by Amycolatopsis mediterranei in batch and fed-batch culture was investigated. Fed-batch culture using glucose as mono feeding substrate either in the form of pulse addition, in case of shake flask, or with constant feeding rate, in bioreactor level, proved to be an alternative production system with a significant increase in both volumetric and specific antibiotic production. The maximal concentrations of about 1146 mg/l and 2500 mg/l of rifamycins B and SV, respectively, was obtained in fed-batch culture in bioreactor level under non-oxygen limitation. On the other hand, the rate of rifamycins production was increased from 6.58 to 12.13 mg/l x h for rifamycin B and from 9.47 to 31.83 mg/l x h for rifamycin SV on the bioprocess transfer and improvement from the conventional batch cultivation in shake flask to fed-batch cultivation in stirred tank bioreactor.  相似文献

The wavy-walled bioreactor (WWB) possesses a novel geometry comprised of walls with sinusoidal waves that mimic baffles in an effort to promote mixing. This geometry provides a unique hydrodynamic environment suitable for the cultivation of mammalian cells and tissues and the investigation of fluid mechanical effects on cell and tissue growth and development. In the present study, mixing in WWB was characterized and compared to that in a conventional spinner flask (SF). The key parameters included in this characterization were mixing time, residence time distribution (RTD), and dissolved oxygen concentration during engineered cartilage tissue cultivation. Factors that influenced mixing in WWB included wave amplitude, agitation rate, and the ratio of the impeller diameter to the tank diameter (D/T). Data obtained from RTD and acid base neutralization studies confirmed the presence of different mixing zones in WWB. A theoretical comparison of WWB to a baffled spinner flask (BSF) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling predicted that while enhanced mixing was achieved in wavy-walled and BSF bioreactors, the shear stresses applied on tissue constructs were 15% lower in WWB. Improved mixing was achieved in WWB compared to the SF at similar D/T ratios, verified by improved oxygen transport and increased dispersion. However, for lower D/T ratios mixing in WWB was not necessarily improved. This study demonstrated the importance of characterization of mixing by showing the impact of even minor changes in bioreactor geometry and operating conditions.  相似文献
