Proteomics analysis of chinese hamster ovary cells undergoing apoptosis during prolonged cultivation.

ABSTRACT: The degradation of environmental conditions, such as nutrient depletion and accumulation of toxic waste products over time, often lead to premature apoptotic cell death in mammalian cell cultures and suboptimal protein yield. Although apoptosis has been extensively researched, the changes in the whole cell proteome during prolonged cultivation, where apoptosis is a major mode of cell death, have not been examined. To our knowledge, the work presented here is the first whole cell proteome analysis of non-induced apoptosis in mammalian cells. Flow cytometry analyses of various activated caspases demonstrated the onset of apoptosis in Chinese hamster ovary cells during prolonged cultivation was primarily through the intrinsic pathway. Differential in gel electrophoresis proteomic study comparing protein samples collected during cultivation resulted in the identification of 40 differentially expressed proteins, including four cytoskeletal proteins, ten chaperone and folding proteins, seven metabolic enzymes and seven other proteins of varied functions. The induction of seven ER chaperones and foldases is a solid indication of the onset of the unfolded protein response, which is triggered by cellular and ER stresses, many of which occur during prolonged batch cultures. In addition, the upregulation of six glycolytic enzymes and another metabolic protein emphasizes that a change in the energy metabolism likely occurred as culture conditions degraded and apoptosis advanced. By identifying the intracellular changes during cultivation, this study provides a foundation for optimizing cell line-specific cultivation processes, prolonging longevity and maximizing protein production.

Project description:Externalization of PtdSer (phosphatidylserine) is an important event in signalling removal of apoptotic cells. In contrast with previous work [Yu, Byers, Ridgway, McMaster and Cook (2000) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1487, 296-308] with U937 cells showing that specific stimulation of PtdSer biosynthesis during apoptosis was caspase dependent, PtdSer biosynthesis in CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary)-K1 increased 2.5-fold during UV-induced apoptosis but was not reversed by a caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK (benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-DL-Asp-fluoromethylketone). Also, in CHO-K1 cells, stimulation of synthesis was less specific for PtdSer as similar levels of stimulation were observed for sphingomyelin biosynthesis. Involvement of PtdSer synthase isoforms was tested in CHO-K1 cells overexpressing PSS I (PtdSer synthase I) and PSS II. Both types of transformed cells showed resistance to UV-induced apoptosis based on the decreased levels of caspase 3 activation and morphology changes; externalization of PtdSer was reduced with UV treatment even though expression of endogenous scramblase increased slightly. Serine-labelling experiments showed that PSS I- or PSS II-expressing cells had higher basal levels of PtdSer biosynthesis compared with vector control cells. When cells were exposed to UV light to induce apoptosis, PtdSer biosynthesis was further stimulated 1.5- and 2-fold in PSS I- and PSS II-expressing cells respectively compared with UV-treated vector cells. Caspase activation was not required, as Z-VAD-FMK did not change PtdSer synthesis. Although enhanced PtdSer synthesis was supposed to facilitate apoptosis, cells overexpressing PSS I and II were actually resistant to UV-induced apoptosis. Whereas enhanced PtdSer synthesis was associated with apoptosis, potential anti-apoptotic effects were observed when excess activity of these synthetic enzymes was present. This suggests a tightly regulated role for PtdSer synthesis and/or an important dependence on compartmentation of PSS enzymes in association with scramblase facilitated enrichment of this phospholipid at the cell surface.
