Chemically Defined Media Can Maintain Pig Pluripotency Network In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: Pig embryonic stem cells (pESCs) have been considered an important candidate for preclinical research on human therapies. However, the lack of understanding of pig pluripotent networks has hampered establishment of authentic pESCs. Here, we report that FGF2, ACTVIN, and WNT signaling are essential to sustain pig pluripotency in vitro. Newly derived pESCs were stably maintained over an extended period, and capable of forming teratomas that contained three germ layers. Transcriptome analysis showed that pESCs were developmentally similar to late epiblasts of preimplantation embryos and in terms of biological functions resembled human rather than mouse pluripotent stem cells. However, the pESCs had distinct features such as coexpression of SSEA1 and SSEA4, two active X chromosomes, and a unique transcriptional pattern. Our findings will facilitate both the development of large animal models for human stem cell therapy and the generation of pluripotent stem cells from other domestic animals for agricultural use.

Media on-demand: Continuous reconstitution of a chemically defined media directly from solids.

Project description:Chemically defined media are reconstituted batchwise and stored in hold tanks until use. To avoid large hold tanks and batchwise production of media, we developed continuous on-demand reconstitutions directly from solids consisting of a hopper and a screw conveyor capable of feeding dry powdered media with the required precision ±5% at low dosing rates of 0.171 g min-1 . A commercially available dry powdered cell culture medium was continuously fed over a duration of 12 h into a mixer which was connected to a UV-cell for monitoring and the media were compared to a batchwise production. A comparable amino acid, carbohydrate, and osmolality profile to a batchwise reconstitution could be obtained. Cell cultivation showed comparable performance of batch and continuous reconstitution for two CHO cell lines producing the antibodies adalimumab and trastuzumab on a small and benchtop scale. In-depth analysis of the produced antibodies showed the same glycosylation pattern, other posttranslational profiles such as methionine oxidation and deamidation compared to batchwise reconstitution. Therefore, we conclude a continuous reconstitution of the medium results in the same quality of the product. A continuous on-demand media reconstitution will impact the supply chain and significantly reduce the floor space necessary for preparation and storage.

Selection of chemically defined media for CHO cell fed-batch culture processes.

Project description:Two CHO cell clones derived from the same parental CHOBC® cell line and producing the same monoclonal antibody (BC-G, a low producing clone; BC-P, a high producing clone) were tested in four basal media in all possible combinations with three feeds (=12 conditions) in fed-batch cultures. Higher amino acid feeding did not always lead to higher mAb production. The two clones showed differences in cell physiology, metabolism and optimal medium-feed combinations. During the phase transitions of all cultures, cell metabolism showed a shift represented by lower specific consumption and production rates, except for the specific glucose consumption rate in cultures fed by Actifeed A/B. The BC-P clone fed by Actifeed A/B showed a threefold cell volume increase and an increase of the specific consumption rate of glucose in the stationary phase. Since feeding was based on glucose this resulted in accumulation of amino acids for this feed, while this did not occur for the poorer feed (EFA/B). The same feed also led to an increase of cell size for the BC-G clone, but to a lesser extent.

Generation of stable integration-free pig induced pluripotent stem cells under chemically defined culture condition.

Project description:Genome integration-free pig induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) bring tremendous value in pre-clinical testing of regenerative medicine, as well as conservation and exploitation of endangered or rare local pig idioplasmatic resources. However, due to a lack of appropriate culture medium, efficient induction and stable maintenance of pig iPSCs with practical value remains challenging. Here, we established an efficient induction system for exogenous gene-independent iPSCs under chemically defined culture condition previously used for generation of stable pig pre-gastrulation epiblast stem cells (pgEpiSCs). WNT suppression was found to play an essential role in establishment of exogenous gene-independent iPSCs. Strikingly, stable integration-free pig iPSCs could be established from pig somatic cells using episomal vectors in this culture condition. The iPSCs had pluripotency features and transcriptome characteristics approximating pgEpiSCs. More importantly, this induction system may be used to generate integration-free iPSCs from elderly disabled rare local pig somatic cells and the iPSCs could be gene-edited and used as donor cells for nuclear transfer. Our results provide novel insights into potential applications for genetic breeding of livestock species and pre-clinical evaluation of regenerative medicine.

Development of Chemically Defined Media Reveals Citrate as Preferred Carbon Source for Liberibacter Growth.

Project description:Liberibacter crescens is the closest cultured relative of four important uncultured crop pathogens. Candidatus L. asiaticus, L. americanus, and L. africanus are causal agents of citrus greening disease, otherwise known as huanglongling (HLB). Candidatus L. solanacearum is responsible for potato Zebra chip disease. Cultures of L. crescens grow slowly on BM-7 complex medium, while attempts to culture the Ca. Liberibacter pathogens in BM-7 have failed. Developing a defined medium for the growth of L. crescens will be useful in the study of Liberibacter metabolism and will improve the prospects for culturing the Ca. Liberibacter pathogens. Here, M15 medium is presented and described as the first chemically defined medium for the growth of L. crescens cultures that approaches the growth rates obtained with BM-7. The development of M15 was a four step process including: (1) the identification of Hi-Graces Insect medium (Hi-GI) as an essential, yet undefined component in BM-7, for the growth of L. crescens, (2) metabolomic reconstruction of Hi-GI to create a defined medium for the growth of L. crescens cultures, and (3) the discovery of citrate as the preferred carbon and energy source for L. crescens growth. The composition of M15 medium includes inorganic salts as in the Hi-GI formula, amino acids derived from the metabolomic analyses of Hi-GI, and a 10-fold increase in vitamins compared to the Hi-GI formula, with exception choline chloride, which was increased 5000-fold in M15. Since genome comparisons of L. crescens and the Ca. Liberibacter pathogens show that they are very similar metabolically. Thus, these results imply citrate and other TCA cycle intermediates are main energy sources for these pathogens in their insect and plant hosts. Thus, strategies to reduce citrate levels in the habitats of these pathogens may be effective in reducing Ca. Liberibacter pathogen populations thereby reducing symptoms in the plant host.

Development of chemically defined media supporting high-cell-density growth of lactococci, enterococci, and streptococci.

Project description:Lactococcus lactis IL1403 was used as an experimental strain to develop a chemically defined medium for study of the physiology and metabolic pathways of lactococci. An experimental leave-one-out technique was employed to determine the necessity of each of the 57 chemical components used in medium development. A statistical experimental design approach including three fractional factorial designs and a central composite design was used to optimize the fermentation process with 21 variables composed of 19 nutritional factors grouped from the 57 components and two environmental factors (initial pH and temperature). For L. lactis IL1403, the maximum biomass concentrations obtained with the two optimal chemically defined media developed in this study (ZMB1 and ZMB2) were generally 3.5- to 4-fold higher than the maximum biomass concentrations obtained with the previously described best synthetic media (SA) and 50% to 68% higher than the maximum biomass concentrations obtained with M17, a complex medium commonly used for lactococci. The new chemically defined media support high-cell-density growth of numerous strains of L. lactis, Enterococcus faecalis, and Streptococcus thermophilus.

CD317<sup>+</sup> MSCs expanded with chemically defined media have enhanced immunological anti-inflammatory activities.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough both preclinical and clinical studies have shown the great application potential of MSCs (mesenchymal stem/stromal cells) in treating many kinds of diseases, therapeutic inconsistency resulting from cell heterogeneity is the major stumbling block to their clinical applications. Cell population diversity and batch variation in the cell expansion medium are two major inducers of MSC heterogeneity.MethodsCell population diversity was investigated through single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of human MSCs derived from the umbilical cord and expanded with fully chemically defined medium in the current study. Then, the MSC subpopulation with enhanced anti-inflammatory effects was studied in vitro and in vivo.ResultsOur data showed that MSCs contain different populations with different functions, including subpopulations with enhanced functions of exosome secretion, extracellular matrix modification and responses to stimuli (regeneration and immune response). Among them, CD317+ MSCs have improved differentiation capabilities and enhanced immune suppression activities. Underlying mechanism studies showed that higher levels of TSG6 confer enhanced anti-inflammatory functions of CD317+ MSCs.ConclusionsThus, CD317+ MSCs might be a promising candidate for treating immunological disorder-related diseases.

In vitro mouse spermatogenesis with an organ culture method in chemically defined medium.

Project description:We previously reported the successful induction and completion of mouse spermatogenesis by culturing neonatal testis tissues. The culture medium consisted of ?-minimum essential medium (?-MEM), supplemented with Knockout serum replacement (KSR) or AlbuMAX, neither of which were defined chemically. In this study, we formulated a chemically defined medium (CDM) that can induce mouse spermatogenesis under organ culture conditions. It was found that bovine serum albumin (BSA) purified through three different procedures had different effects on spermatogenesis. We also confirmed that retinoic acid (RA) played crucial roles in the onset of spermatogonial differentiation and meiotic initiation. The added lipids exhibited weak promoting effects on spermatogenesis. Lastly, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and testosterone (T) combined together promoted spermatogenesis until round spermatid production. The CDM, however, was not able to produce elongated spermatids. It was also unable to induce spermatogenesis from the very early neonatal period, before 2 days postpartum, leaving certain factors necessary for spermatogenic induction in mice unidentified. Nonetheless, the present study provided important basic information on testis organ culture and spermatogenesis in vitro.

A defined glycosylation regulatory network modulates total glycome dynamics during pluripotency state transition.

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) recapitulate in vitro the epiblast first cell lineage decision, allowing characterization of the molecular mechanisms underlying pluripotent state transition. Here, we performed a comprehensive and comparative analysis of total glycomes of mouse ESCs and EpiLCs, revealing that overall glycosylation undergoes dramatic changes from early stages of development. Remarkably, we showed for the first time the presence of a developmentally regulated network orchestrating glycosylation changes and identified polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) as a key component involved in this process. Collectively, our findings provide novel insights into the naïve-to-primed pluripotent state transition and advance the understanding of glycosylation complex regulation during early mouse embryonic development.

Protocol for germ lineage differentiation of primed human pluripotent stem cells using chemically defined, nutrient-balanced media.

Project description:Metabolism regulates cell fates during early mammalian cell differentiation. This protocol describes the steps for directed differentiation of primed human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into the three primary germ lineages-ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm-using a chemically defined nutrient-balanced media formulation. Although the transient removal and addition of specific nutrients does not occur in vivo during embryonic development, manipulation of nutrients in vitro provides an accessible method for evaluating how extracellular and intracellular metabolites help determine hPSC fate. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lu et al. (2019) and Lu et al. (2022).

Transcriptional Profiling of Porcine Blastocysts Produced In Vitro in a Chemically Defined Culture Medium.

Project description:The development of chemically defined media is a growing trend in in vitro embryo production (IVP). Recently, traditional undefined culture medium with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been successfully replaced by a chemically defined medium using substances with embryotrophic properties such as platelet factor 4 (PF4). Although the use of this medium sustains IVP, the impact of defined media on the embryonic transcriptome has not been fully elucidated. This study analyzed the transcriptome of porcine IVP blastocysts, cultured in defined (PF4 group) and undefined media (BSA group) by microarrays. In vivo-derived blastocysts (IVV group) were used as a standard of maximum embryo quality. The results showed no differentially expressed genes (DEG) between the PF4 and BSA groups. However, a total of 2780 and 2577 DEGs were detected when comparing the PF4 or the BSA group with the IVV group, respectively. Most of these genes were common in both in vitro groups (2132) and present in some enriched pathways, such as cell cycle, lysosome and/or metabolic pathways. These results show that IVP conditions strongly affect embryo transcriptome and that the defined culture medium with PF4 is a guaranteed replacement for traditional culture with BSA.
