Energy metabolism and ATP balance in animal cell cultivation using a stoichiometrically based reaction network

A metabolic reaction network is developed for the estimation of the stoichiometric production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in animal cell culture. By using the material balance data from fed-batch and batch cultures of hybridoma cells, the stoichiometric ATP productions are determined with estimated effective P/O ratios of 2 for NADH and 1.2 for FADH(2). A significant percentage of the ATP requirement (16-41%) in hybridoma cells is generated directly from free energy release without the participation of oxygen. The oxidative phosphorylation of NADH accounts for about 60% of the total ATP production in the fed-batch cultures and about 47% in the batch culture. The oxidative phosphorylation of FADH(2) accounts for less then 20% of the total ATP production in all cases.A fractional model is devised to analyze the contribution of each nutrient to the ATP production. Results show that a majority of the ATP is produced from glucose metabolism (60-76%). Less than 30% of the ATP is derived from glutamine, and less than 11% is derived from other essential amino acids. The analysis also shows that the glycolytic pathway generates more ATP in the batch (41%) than in the fed-batch (<27%) cultures. The TCA cycle provides 51-68% of the total ATP production. The calculated stoichiometric oxygen consumption differs among the batch and fed-batch cultures, depending on the glucose concentration. This result suggests that the relationship between the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) and cell growth may change with the culture conditions. However, the calculated respiratory quotient (RQ) is relatively constant in all cases.A linear relationship is obtained between the specific ATP production rate and the specific cell growth rate. The maximum ATP yield and the maintenance ATP requirement are determined based on this linear relationship. The biosynthetic ATP demand estimated from the dry cell weight and cell composition is significantly lower than that calculated from the maximum ATP yield, indicating that the non-growth-associated ATP demand may contain other factors than what is considered in the estimation of the biosynthetic ATP demand.

乙肝病毒PreSl片段与乙肝表面抗原羧端的融合表达

我们利用聚合酶链反应法（ＰＣＲ）得到了编码乙肝病毒肝细胞受体结合位点ＰｒｅＳｌ（２１￣４７）的基因片段,并将它分别融合到Ｓ基因中相应于第１７５,１８８和２２３位氨基酸残基处。所得到的融合基因插入痘苗病毒表达载体ｐＧＪＰ－５后,在哺乳动物细胞ＣＶ－１中进行了暂时表达,对融合蛋白的表达、分泌和抗原性的研究表明,３种融合基因均能表达具有Ｓ和ＰｒｅＳｌ双重抗原性的融合蛋白,但融合位点对表达水平和分泌性质有

向日葵籽实产量预测数学模型的研究

根据2年10个点次的田间试验结果建立了由数粒法、盘重法和盘径法预测向日葵籽实产量的回归数学模型,并根据1994年4个点次的产量实测结果对各模型的可靠性进行了验证．结果表明,三种方法建立的模型均有效、可靠．但在我国向日葵科研和生产实践中,以盘径法最为实用,建议推广应用．

Multiple genotypes of mitochondrial DNA within a horse population from a small region in Yunnan province of China

mtDNA genotypes of six domestic horses (three adult short horses whose heights are under 1 m and three common domestic horses) from a small region of 15 km² in Malipo county of Yunnan province of China were investigated by the technique of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with 16 restriction endonucleases which recognize 6-bp sequences. An average of 56 fragments for an individual was obtained. Unlike other domestic animals, this population of horses exhibits high mtDNA genetic diversity. Each of the six horses has a specific mtDNA genotype showing a pattern of multiple maternal origins, as suggested by fossil and literature records. We think the population of horses is an amazing seed-resource pool of horses and hence deserves to be paid more attention from the view of conservation genetics. However, it is also remarkable that we did not find any typical mtDNA genetic markers which would discriminate between short horses and common domestic horses.
