Metabolic flux analysis of CHO cells at growth and non-growth phases using isotopic tracers and mass spectrometry

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the main platform for production of biotherapeutics in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, relatively little is known about the metabolism of CHO cells in cell culture. In this work, metabolism of CHO cells was studied at the growth phase and early stationary phase using isotopic tracers and mass spectrometry. CHO cells were grown in fed-batch culture over a period of six days. On days 2 and 4, [1,2-¹³C] glucose was introduced and the labeling of intracellular metabolites was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) at 6, 12 and 24 h following the introduction of tracer. Intracellular metabolic fluxes were quantified from measured extracellular rates and ¹³C-labeling dynamics of intracellular metabolites using non-stationary ¹³C-metabolic flux analysis (¹³C-MFA). The flux results revealed significant rewiring of intracellular metabolic fluxes in the transition from growth to non-growth, including changes in energy metabolism, redox metabolism, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and anaplerosis. At the exponential phase, CHO cell metabolism was characterized by a high flux of glycolysis from glucose to lactate, anaplerosis from pyruvate to oxaloacetate and from glutamate to α-ketoglutarate, and cataplerosis though malic enzyme. At the stationary phase, the flux map was characterized by a reduced flux of glycolysis, net lactate uptake, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway flux, and reduced rate of anaplerosis. The fluxes of pyruvate dehydrogenase and TCA cycle were similar at the exponential and stationary phase. The results presented here provide a solid foundation for future studies of CHO cell metabolism for applications such as cell line development and medium optimization for high-titer production of recombinant proteins.     

Higher insulin, triglycerides, and blood pressure with greater trunk fat in Tanner 1 Chinese

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the body fat distribution pattern in prepubertal Chinese children and to investigate the relationship between central fat distribution and specific biomarkers of cardiovascular disease. Research Methods and Procedures: The study was conducted in an urban Mainland Chinese (Jinan, Shandong) sample of children using a cross‐sectional design. Pubertal status was determined by Tanner criteria. Measurements included weight, height, waist circumference, DXA measures of total body fat and trunk fat; fasting serum measures of glucose, insulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol; and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Multiple regression models were developed with the biomarkers of cardiovascular risk factor as the dependent variables, and adjustments were made for significant covariates, including sex, age, height, weight, waist circumference, total body fat, trunk fat, and interactions. Results: A total of 247 healthy prepubertal subjects were studied. After co‐varying for age, weight, height, and extremity fat (the sum of arm fat and leg fat), girls had greater trunk fat than boys (p < 0.0001, R² for model = 0.95). Insulin and triglyceride were positively related to central fat measured by DXA‐trunk fat (p < 0.05) but not related to the waist circumference. In the blood pressure model, waist circumference was a significant predictor of both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, while DXA‐trunk fat was associated with diastolic blood pressure only. Significant interactions between sex and trunk fat, and sex and total fat, were found in relation to diastolic blood pressure. Discussion: In prepubertal Chinese children, greater trunk fat was significantly associated with higher insulin and triglyceride in boys and girls and was associated with higher diastolic blood pressure in boys only.     

Identification of differentially expressed genes in three-pistil mutation in wheat using annealing control primer system

The common wheat line three-pistil (TP) is a valuable mutant for wheat breeding. The TP mutation has normal spike morphology; however, it only produces three pistils per floret. Therefore, it has potential to increase the grain number per spike. In order to determine the underlying molecular mechanism, an annealing control primer system was used to identify the different expressed genes in three-pistil mutation. Using 120 arbitrary ACP primers, we identified three differentially expressed genes in young spikes between two near-isogenic lines (i.e., Chuanmai 28 TP and Chinese Spring TP) and their recurrent parents. We tentatively designated the three differentially expressed genes as DETP-1, DETP-2, and DETP-3. DETP-1 showed similar function with maize cytoplasmic membrane protein, which is involved in cell division in bacteria. DETP-3 is homologous to maize endo-1, 4-beta-glucanase (EGases), which is associated with plant development, cell wall loosening, stem flowering, and root expansion. DETP-2 showed no significant hit with any sequence found in the database and translates unknown protein. These genes would likely play an important role in determining the three pistils trait in wheat.     

莲花山斑尾榛鸡春季栖息地选择

20 0 3年 3～ 4月 ,在甘肃省莲花山自然保护区 ,利用无线电遥测和直接观察 ,分析了斑尾榛鸡(Bonasasewerzowi)的栖息地选择特征。结果表明 ,斑尾榛鸡春季栖息地一般在东北坡向 ,并具有高大乔木、下层植被盖度较高、灌丛较丰富的特点 ,这与食物丰富度较高及环境隐蔽性较强有关。栖息地质量对于配对活动的成功与否有一定影响。分析表明 ,栖息地内 0 5～ 2 5m植被水平遮挡度、柳树数量、箭竹数量是影响斑尾榛鸡春季栖息地选择的关键因子。建议在对斑尾榛鸡栖息地采取保护措施时 ,不仅要保护原生乔木 ,还要加强对灌丛生境的保护。

The Effect of Seed Cryopreservation on the Development of Protocorms by the Hybrid Orchid Bratonia

The aim of this work was to study the influence of storage in liquid nitrogen on the viability of seeds of the hybrid orchid Bratonia and further development of its protocorms in vitro. Seeds were frozen in ampoules by direct immersion in liquid nitrogen and stored in the cryobank for a month. The germination rates of cryopreserved and control (nonfrozen) seeds did not differ and remained as high as 100%. The protocorms derived were cultured on the agar-solidified Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium (MS), half-strength MS and Knop media and also in Morel liquid medium. During the first 45 days of culturing, protocorms derived from cryopreserved seeds grew faster than control protocorms on the MS and half-strength MS media but, at longer culturing (496 days), the size of control protocorms was significantly larger. After 639 days of culturing, there was no difference in the amount of perished, budding, and newly formed protocorms obtained from cryopreserved and control seeds, except half-strength MS medium where the number of budding protocorms in the case of cryopreserved seeds was a little greater than in the control treatment. After seed cryopreservation, the frequency of budding and newly formed protocorms was greater on the agarized MS and in liquid Morel media. Cryopreservation had little effect on the subsequent growth of protocorms in vitro. The preferable nutrient media for culturing the protocorms have been suggested.

Control of passive permeability of chinese hamster ovary cells by external and intracellular ATP

External ATP causes passive permeability change in several transformed cells, but not in untransformed cells. We studied the effect of external ATP on the passive permeability of CHO-K1 cells, a transformed clone of Chinese hamster ovary cells. Treatment of the cells with external ATP alone did not produce a permeability change, and this was observed only when a mitochondrial inhibitor, such as rotenone or oligomycin, was present together with ATP. These inhibitors reduced the concentration of intracellular ATP and a permeability change by external ATP was observed when intracellular ATP was decreased more than 70%. This requirement for permeability change of CHO-K1 cells was quite unique, since passive permeability change of other transformed cells so far tested was induced by ATP alone. Treatment of CHO-K1 cells with cyclic AMP analogues increased their sensitivity to external ATP about 2-fold. The roles of external and intracellular ATP in controlling passive permeability are discussed.
