A spin filter perfusion systems was used to achieve a high cell density culture for two NS0 cell lines in 2 litres bioreactors. One cell line is transfected with the bcl-2 gene (NS0 Bcl-2) encodes the 'anti-apoptotic' human Bcl-2 protein and the other cell line (NS0 Control) with a blank vector. The runs started as batch cultures for two days and were perfused with fresh medium at 0.5 volumes per day (day(-1)) for 4 days, increasing gradually to 2 day(-1) at day 7. The increase of the viable cell density of Bcl-2 cell line was far greater than the control cell line, although they were perfused with the same amount of medium. At the end of the period of each perfusion rate, the viable cell densities of Bcl-2 culture were 30%, 120%, 160% and 220% higher than its control cell line corresponding values. Overall, there was a roughly 9 fold increase in viable cell density from the inoculum for the control culture, but almost a 30 fold increase for the Bcl-2 culture. The mode of cell death in the control culture was initially predominantly by necrosis (viability higher than 80%), but apoptotic cell death became more significant after day 8 of the culture. Cell death in the Bcl-2 culture was almost entirely by necrosis, although it remained at a very low level (less than 5%) to the termination time. The cell cycle distributions for both cell lines were very much similar indicating they have a similar doubling time and G1 to S progression rate. Interestingly, the Bcl-2 cultures exhibited reduced antibody specific production rate with increasing viable cell number and time. The volumetric production rate was, however, similar in both cultures. Bcl-2 as an anti-death protein allowed cells to survive and thus divide to higher cell densities without the need for additional nutrients. Most of the cellular energy in a producer cell line is used for biomass production rather than for antibody production, as was the case with the control cell line. 相似文献

Apoptosis can limit the maximum production of recombinant protein expression from cultured mammalian cells. This article focuses on the links between nutrient deprivation, ER perturbation, the regulation of (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene 153) GADD153 expression and apoptosis. During batch culture, decreases in glucose and glutamine correlated with an increase in apoptotic cells. This event was paralleled by a simultaneous increase in GADD153 expression. The expression of GADD153 in batch culture was suppressed by the addition of nutrients and with fed-batch culture the onset of apoptosis was delayed but not completely prevented. In defined stress conditions, glucose deprivation had the greatest effect on cell death when compared to glutamine deprivation or the addition of tunicamycin (an inhibitor of glycosylation), added to generate endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, the contribution of apoptosis to overall cell death (as judged by morphology) was smaller in conditions of glucose deprivation than in glutamine deprivation or tunicamycin treatment. Transient activation of GADD153 expression was found to occur in response to all stresses and occurred prior to detection of the onset of cell death. These results imply that GADD153 expression is either a trigger for apoptosis or offers a valid indicator of the likelihood of cell death arising from stresses of relevance to the bioreactor environment. 相似文献

We have constructed NS0 myeloma cell lines that inducibly express the p21CIP1 cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, using the Lacswitch system. Ectopic p21(CIP1) protein expression was rapidly induced within 12 h of addition of IPTG, causing G1-phase arrest and almost complete inhibition of cell proliferation. The production of a chimeric IgG4 antibody, expressed constitutively from an independent promoter, was found to be significantly increased by more than 4-fold in p21CIP1-arrested cells. This study demonstrates for the first time the successful construction of anchorage-independent and proliferation-controlled NS0 cell lines with enhanced secreted chimeric antibody production independent of the inducible promoter activity used to achieve cytostasis. 相似文献

NS0 cells are an important industrial cell line for the production of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Culturing these cells is challenging because they are cholesterol auxotrophs, and providing cholesterol to the cells is hampered by the low solubility of lipids in aqueous medium. Limited loading capacity, precipitation, instability, and toxicity are associated with traditional delivery methods that involve solvents or carrier molecules. In this work, nanoparticle cholesterol mixtures (NCM) were produced by electrohydrodynamic spraying and added directly to a cholesterol auxotroph NS0 cell line. Compared to a cholesterol-cyclodextrin solution and a commercial proprietary cholesterol solution, SyntheChol NS0 supplement, NCM is significantly less cytotoxic. In the fed batch cell culture process, product titer was increased by 32% when the NCM supplement replaced SyntheChol NS0 supplement. An even greater product titer improvement, 64%, was achieved when both NCM and SyntheChol NS0 supplements were used in the fed-batch process. 相似文献

It has been previously demonstrated that human carcinomas express interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) alpha, beta, and gamma chains. The beta and gamma chains of IL-2R have intermediate binding affinity for IL-2 and are responsible for the intracellular signaling cascades after IL-2 stimulation. IL-2Ralpha lacks the cytoplasmic domain, but is essential for increasing the IL-2-binding affinity of other receptors. Overexpression of IL-2Ralpha in tumor cells is associated with tumor progression and a poor patient prognosis. To define molecular mechanisms responsible for the effects associated with IL-2Ralpha expression, ex vivo experiments were performed with the squamous cell carcinoma head-and-neck cancer line, PCI-13, which was genetically engineered to overexpress the IL-2Ralpha chain. While IL-2Ralpha-overexpressing PCI-13 cells were capable of forming colonies in soft agar, PCI-13 cells transfected with the control vector or those expressing IL-2Rgamma did not. Consistently, IL-2Ralpha-expressing tumor cells proliferated more rapidly than the control or IL-2Rgamma+ cells, associated with increased levels of cyclins A and D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk(s)) 2 and 4 proteins. In addition, IL-2Ralpha-expressing cells were significantly more resistant to apoptosis induction by a tripeptidyl proteasome inhibitor (ALLN) and two chemotherapeutic drugs (VP-16 and taxol) than the control or IL-2Rgamma+ cells. Accompanying the drug resistance, high levels of anti-apoptotic Bcl-X(L) and Bcl-2 proteins were found in the mitochondria-containing fraction of IL-2Ralpha-expressing tumor cells. Treatment of IL-2Ralpha-expressing cells with a specific Janus kinase 3 (Jak3) inhibitor decreased expression of cyclin A, cyclin D1, Bcl-X(L), and Bcl-2 proteins. Finally, high levels of ubiquitinated proteins were detected in the proliferating IL-2Ralpha-expressing cells. Our data suggest that increased proliferation rates and decreased drug sensitivity of IL-2Ralpha-expressing tumor cells are responsible for the enhanced tumor aggressiveness and poor clinical prognosis of patients whose tumors express IL-2Ralpha. 相似文献

NS0 has been used as a fusion partner for the production of hybridomas and has more recently been engineered to produce recombinant protein. A protein-free culture medium, designated W38 medium, has previously been developed which supported high density growth of rat myeloma and hybridoma cell lines. NS0 cells failed to grow in W38 medium and in a number of protein-free culture media which support the growth of other myeloma cell lines. NS0 cells are derived from the NS-1 cell line, which is known to require exogencus cholesterol. It was found that NS0 cells grew in W38 medium supplemented with phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and albumin and that NS0 were auxotrophic for cholesterol. Protein-free growth of NS0 cells was achieved by using -cyclodextrin to replace albumin as a lipid carrier. The maximal cell density reached in this protein-free medium was in excess of 1.5×106 cell ml–1. The lipid supplements in the medium precipitated after a few days storage at +4°C. In order to overcome this problem a protocol was developed which allowed NS0 cells to be adapted to cholesterol-independent growth in W38 medium. NS0.CF (cholesterol-independent NS0 cells) were cultured continuously in W38 medium for several months. In shake flask culture a cell density of 2.4×106 cells ml–1 was achieved in W38 medium compared with 1.41×106 cells ml–1 in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% foetal bovine serum. NS0.CF cells readily grew in a 1 litre stirred bioreactor using W38 medium supplemented with Pluronic F68 reaching a density of 3.24×106 cells ml–1. NS0.CF were cloned protein-free by limiting dilution in W38 medium, giving colonies in wells that were seeded at an average density of 0.32 cells per 200 l. This study has demonstrated for the first time the growth of a cholesterol-requiring mouse myeloma cell line in a completely defined protein-free medium and its subsequent adaptation to cholesterol-independence.Abbreviations BSA

The over-expression of Bcl-2 has greatly improved the culture period, specific growth rate, and maximum viable cell density
of NS0 cells culture under low serum condition. Further analysis of these data suggests that a saturation model of the Monod
type can be used to represent the relationships of specific growth rate and initial serum concentration. The μmax andK
s for the Bcl-2 cell line is 0.927 day−1 and 0.947% (v/v) respectively, which are 21% greater and 7% lower respectively than its control counterpart. Study on the
amino acid supplementation revealed that Bcl-2 cell lines possess greater improvement in the specific growth rate and maximum
viable cell density compared to the control cell lines. A further increase in the amino acid supplementation has resulted
a 17% decrease in specific growth rate and no improvement in maximum viable cell density in the control culture. However,
the Bcl-2 cell line exhibited a better growth characteristic in this culture condition compared to that of control cell lines.
The higher specific growth rate and maximum viable cell density of the Bcl-2 cell line in medium fortified with serum and
MEM EAA suggested a more efficient nutrient metabolism compared to that in the control cell line. The low serum and amino
acid utilisation rate and the higher cell yield may prove to be important in the development of serum/protein free culture. 相似文献

The perceived sensitivity of animal cells to hydrodynamic shear has limited agitation and aeration at large-scale. This makes it difficult to ensure adequate mixing of the vessel contents and may lead to inhomogeneities in operational parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, and especially pH. The effect of pH shifts and pH perturbations on the cellular responses, in batch culture, of a GS-NS0 mouse myeloma cell line, expressing a recombinant antibody, was investigated. In addition, the effect of extreme pH on the structure of the purified antibody product was studied using isoelectric focusing. The fermentation pH value was shifted abruptly from pH 7.3 to pH values ranging from 6.5 to 9.0. Culture pH was maintained at this new value for the remainder of the fermentation. All pH shifts of above 0.2 units caused a transient increase in apoptosis. However, cultures shifted to pH values between 7.0 and 8.0 continued to grow and the apoptotic fraction returned to initial levels. Cultures shifted to pH values above pH 8.0 and below pH 7.0 did not recover resulting in culture death. For example, a shift to pH 8.5 caused accumulation of cells in the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle followed by apoptotic death. After the pH shift, maximum specific growth rate was observed over the range pH 7.3 to 7.5 and maximum viable cell number was seen at pH 7.3. Maximum volumetric antibody production, resulting from increased culture longevity, was seen at pH 7.0. It was also observed that glucose consumption increased with increasing pH. In a separate set of experiments cells were subjected to a single pH perturbation ranging in duration from 0 to 600 minutes. Exposure of cells to a pH value greater than 8.5 for more than 10 minutes caused a decrease in the proportion of viable cells and induced a lag in cell growth. At very low pH (6.5) similar effects were seen, but only for extended perturbations (600 min). However, after recovery from the pH perturbation, growth, product secretion and metabolism all returned to original levels. Incubation of the antibody, at the range of pH values investigated, indicated no alterations in the structure of the antibody as determined by the isoelectric focusing pattern. 相似文献

Overexpression of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) alpha chain in tumor cells is associated with tumor progression and a poor patient prognosis. IL-2Ralpha is responsible for the high affinity binding of the receptor to IL-2, leading to activation of several proliferative and anti-apoptotic intracellular signaling pathways. We have previously shown that human squamous cell carcinoma of a head-and-neck line (PCI-13) genetically engineered to overexpress IL-2Ralpha exhibit increased transforming activity, proliferation, and drug resistance, compared to the vector control cells (J Cell Biochem 2003;89:824-836). In this study, we report that IL-2Ralpha(+) cells express high levels of total and phosphorylated Jak3 protein and are more resistant to apoptosis induced by a Jak3 inhibitor than the control LacZ cells. Furthermore, we used daclizumab, a monoclonal antibody specific to IL-2Ralpha, and determined the effects of IL-2Ralpha inhibition on cell cycle and apoptosis as well as the involvement of potential cell cycle and apoptosis regulatory proteins. We found that daclizumab induces G(1) arrest, associated with down-regulation of cyclin A protein, preferentially in IL-2Ralpha(+) cells, but not in LacZ cells. In addition, daclizumab activates apoptotic death program via Bcl-2 down-regulation preferentially in IL-2Ralpha(+) cells. Finally, daclizumab also sensitizes IL-2Ralpha(+) cells to other apoptotic stimuli, although the effect is moderate. These results indicate that daclizumab inhibits the proliferative potential of IL-2Ralpha(+) cells via inhibition of cell cycle progression and induction of apoptosis. 相似文献

Taxol is a powerful chemotherapeutic agent that binds to microtubules to prevent tumour cell division. However, a traditional high dose of taxol may also induce apoptosis in normal cells. The anti‐apoptotic molecule Bcl‐2 is up‐regulated in tumour cells to prevent apoptosis. We designed this study to determine whether use of a low dose of taxol and anti‐apoptotic Bcl‐2 gene silencing would effectively induce apoptosis in human glioblastoma U251MG cells and also inhibit invasion, angiogenesis and intracranial as well as subcutaneous tumour growth. We treated the cells with either 100 nM taxol or transfected with a plasmid vector expressing Bcl‐2 siRNA or both agents together for 72 h. Knockdown of Bcl‐2 potentiated efficacy of taxol for cell death. Fluorescence‐activated cell sorting analysis, double immunofluorescent staining and TUNEL assay demonstrated apoptosis in about 70% of the cells after treatment with the combination of taxol and Bcl‐2 siRNA. In vitro Matrigel invasion assay demonstrated dramatic decrease in glioblastoma cell invasion and in vivo angiogenesis assay showed complete inhibition of neovascularization in athymic nude mice after treatment with the combination. Further, treatment with the combination of taxol and Bcl‐2 siRNA caused suppression of intracranial tumour growth and subcutaneous solid tumour development. In conclusion, our results indicate that the combination of taxol and Bcl‐2 siRNA effectively induces apoptosis and inhibits glioblastoma cell invasion, angiogenesis and intracranial as well as subcutaneous tumour growth. Therefore, the combination of a low dose of taxol and Bcl‐2 siRNA is a promising therapeutic strategy for controlling the aggressive growth of human glioblastoma. 相似文献

Recent developments in high cell density and high productivity fed-batch animal cell cultures have placed a high demand on oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal in bioreactors. The high oxygen demand is often met by increasing agitation and sparging rates of air/O2 in the bioreactors. However, as we demonstrate in this study, an increase of gas sparging can result in cell damage at the sparger site due to high gas entrance velocities. Previous studies have showed that gas bubble breakup at the culture surface was primarily responsible for cell damage in sparged bioreactors. Such cell damage can be reduced by use of surfactants such as Pluronic F-68 in the culture. In our results, where NS0 cells were grown in a protein-free and cholesterol-free medium containing 0.5 g/L Pluronic F-68, high gas entrance velocity at the sparger site was observed as the second mechanism for cell damage. Experiments were performed in scaled-down spinners to model the effect of hydrodynamic force resulting from high gas velocities on antibody-producing NS0 cells. Cell growth and cell death were described by first-order kinetics. Cell death rate constant increased significantly from 0.04 to 0.18 day(-1) with increasing gas entrance velocity from 2.3 to 82.9 m/s at the sparger site. The critical gas entrance velocity for the NS0 cell line studied was found to be approximately 30 m/s; velocities greater than 30 m/s caused cell damage which resulted in reduced viability and consequently reduced antibody production. Observations from a second cholesterol-independent NS0 cell line confirmed the occurrence of cell damage due to high gas velocities. Increasing the concentration of Pluronic F-68 from 0.5 to 2 g/L had no additional protective effect on cell damage associated with high gas velocity at the sparger. The results of gas velocity analysis for cell damage have been applied in two case studies of large-scale antibody manufacturing. The first is a troubleshooting study for antibody production carried out in a 600 L bioreactor, and the second is the development of a gas sparger design for a large bioreactor scale (e.g., 10,000 L) for antibody manufacturing. 相似文献

Mouse myeloma NS0 cells widely used in hybridoma technology lack the expression of a major stress protein Hsp70 which is the principal component of the basic cellular defense mechanism. These cells rapidly undergo apoptosis at the late-stationary phase of batch culture following nutrient exhaustion. Since Hsp70 was recently demonstrated to protect cells against numerous apoptotic stimuli, the aim of the present study was to examine the protective potential of the protein expression in engineered myeloma NS0 cells and in resulting hybridomas. Myeloma cells were transfected with the hsp70 gene under beta-actin gene promoter. To imitate harmful conditions that hybridoma or myeloma cells often experience when cultivated in large scale for an antibody production, NS0(wt) and NS0(hsp70) cell cultures were maintained without changing the medium for a few days, and the expression of apoptotic markers has been studied. It was found that long-term cultivation induced apoptosis in original cells manifested by typical nuclei fragmentation, DNA ladders and activation of caspase-3. In contrast, in transfected cells under the same conditions the outcome of apoptosis was postponed for 24 hours. Most relevant was that the fusion of transfected myeloma cells with immune splenocytes resulted in twofold hybridomas output compared with wild-type fusion partner. Almost half of the hybridomas continued to be hsp70-positive and maintained higher robustness in culture. The level of monoclonal antibodies production by hybridoma cells obtained with the use of NS0(wt) and NS0(hsp70) was similar, however, the secreted product was better preserved in culture supernatants of Hsp70-positive cells. It is concluded that transfection of mouse myeloma cells with the hsp70 gene can be a novel means to increase hybridoma yield and reduce the sensitivity of myeloma and hybridoma cells to culture conditions insults accompanying monoclonal antibody production. 相似文献

T‐cell population consists of two major subsets, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, which can be distinguished by the expression of CD4 or CD8 molecules, respectively. Although they play quite different roles in the immune system, many of their basic cellular processes such as proliferation following stimulation are presumably common. In this study, we have carefully analyzed time–course of G0/1 transition as well as cell cycle progression in the two subsets of quiescent T‐cell population following in vitro growth stimulation. We found that CD8+ T cells promote G0/1 transition more rapidly and drive their cell cycle progression faster compared to CD4+ T cells. In addition, expression of CD25 and effects of its blockade revealed that IL‐2 is implicated in the rapid progression, but not the earlier G0/1 transition, of CD8+ T cells. 相似文献

Although Selenium (Se) stress is relatively well known for causing growth inhibition, its effects on primary metabolism remain rather unclear. Here, we characterized both the modulation of the expression of specific genes and the metabolic adjustments in Arabidopsis thaliana in response to changes in Se level in the soil. Se treatment culminated with strong inhibition of both shoot and root growth. Notably, growth inhibition in Se‐treated plants was associated with an incomplete mobilization of starch during the night. Minor changes in amino acids levels were observed in shoots and roots of plants treated with Se whereas the pool size of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates in root was not altered in response to Se. By contrast, decreased levels of organic acids involved in the first part of the TCA cycle were observed in shoots of Se‐treated plants. Furthermore, decreased expression levels of expansins and endotransglucosylases/endohydrolases (XHTs) genes were observed after Se treatment, coupled with a significant decrease in the levels of essential elements. Collectively, our results revealed an exquisite interaction between energy metabolism and Se‐mediated control of growth in Arabidopsis thaliana to coordinate cell wall extension, starch turnover and the levels of a few essential nutrients. 相似文献

Direct exposure of human hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can induce apoptosis. Apoptosis induced by H2O2 was inhibited by cycloheximide, actinomycin D, 3-aminobenzamide, EGTA or Zn2+. H2O2 can increase the level of intracellular Ca2+, downregulate GSH levels, slightly induce lipid peroxidation, and lead to change in the ratio of reduced ion components to oxidized ion components of cells. Analysis of flow cytometry indicates that H2O2 decreases the level of Bcl-2. The data indicate that H2O2-induced apoptosis requires new mRNA and protein syntheses; H2O2 can activate Ca2+/Mg2+-dependent endonuclease leading to internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase interfering with the energy metabolism of the cell. The H2O2 downregulation of GSH may be more important for apoptosis than H2O2 induction of lipid peroxidation, and the H2O2 induced changes in redox status of the cell may be among the original events which lead up to other biochemical changes. 相似文献
