Forecasting and control of lactate bifurcation in Chinese hamster ovary cell culture processes.

ABSTRACT: Biomanufacturing exhibits inherent variability that can lead to variation in performance attributes and batch failure. To help ensure process consistency and product quality the development of predictive models and integrated control strategies is a promising approach. In this study, a feedback controller was developed to limit excessive lactate production, a widespread metabolic phenomenon that is negatively associated with culture performance and product quality. The controller was developed by applying machine learning strategies to historical process development data, resulting in a forecast model that could identify whether a run would result in lactate consumption or accumulation. In addition, this exercise identified a correlation between increased amino acid consumption and low observed lactate production leading to the mechanistic hypothesis that there is a deficiency in the link between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Using the correlative process parameters to build mechanistic insight and applying this to predictive models of lactate concentration, a dynamic model predictive controller (MPC) for lactate was designed. This MPC was implemented experimentally on a process known to exhibit high lactate accumulation and successfully drove the cell cultures towards a lactate consuming state. In addition, an increase in specific titer productivity was observed when compared with non-MPC controlled reactors.

Impact of cell culture media additives on IgG glycosylation produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Project description:Glycosylation is a key critical quality attribute for monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant proteins because of its impact on effector mechanisms and half-life. In this study, a variety of compounds were evaluated for their ability to modulate glycosylation profiles of recombinant monoclonal antibodies produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Compounds were supplemented into the cell culture feed of fed-batch experiments performed with a CHO K1 and a CHO DG44 cell line expressing a recombinant immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1). Experiments were performed in spin tubes or the ambr®15 controlled bioreactor system, and the impact of the compounds at various concentrations was determined by monitoring the glycosylation profile of the IgG and cell culture parameters, such as viable cell density, viability, and titer. Results indicate that the highest impact on mannosylation was achieved through 15 µM kifunensine supplementation leading to an 85.8% increase in high-mannose containing species. Fucosylation was reduced by 76.1% through addition of 800 µM 2-F-peracetyl fucose. An increase of 40.9% in galactosylated species was achieved through the addition of 120 mM galactose in combination with 48 µM manganese and 24 µM uridine. Furthermore, 6.9% increased sialylation was detected through the addition of 30 µM dexamethasone in combination with the same manganese, uridine, and galactose mixture used to increase total galactosylation. Further compounds or combinations of additives were also efficient at achieving a smaller overall glycosylation modulation, required, for instance, during the development of biosimilars. To the best of our knowledge, no evaluation of the efficacy of such a variety of compounds in the same cell culture system has been described. The studied cell culture media additives are efficient modulators of glycosylation and are thus a valuable tool to produce recombinant glycoproteins.

Microevolutionary dynamics of eccDNA in Chinese hamster ovary cells grown in fed-batch cultures under control and lactate-stressed conditions.

Project description:Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines are widely used to manufacture biopharmaceuticals. However, CHO cells are not an optimal expression host due to the intrinsic plasticity of the CHO genome. Genome plasticity can lead to chromosomal rearrangements, transgene exclusion, and phenotypic drift. A poorly understood genomic element of CHO cell line instability is extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) in gene expression and regulation. EccDNA can facilitate ultra-high gene expression and are found within many eukaryotes including humans, yeast, and plants. EccDNA confers genetic heterogeneity, providing selective advantages to individual cells in response to dynamic environments. In CHO cell cultures, maintaining genetic homogeneity is critical to ensuring consistent productivity and product quality. Understanding eccDNA structure, function, and microevolutionary dynamics under various culture conditions could reveal potential engineering targets for cell line optimization. In this study, eccDNA sequences were investigated at the beginning and end of two-week fed-batch cultures in an ambr®250 bioreactor under control and lactate-stressed conditions. This work characterized structure and function of eccDNA in a CHO-K1 clone. Gene annotation identified 1551 unique eccDNA genes including cancer driver genes and genes involved in protein production. Furthermore, RNA-seq data is integrated to identify transcriptionally active eccDNA genes.

A Systematic Approach to Time-series Metabolite Profiling and RNA-seq Analysis of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Culture.

Project description:Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the primary host used for biopharmaceutical protein production. The engineering of CHO cells to produce higher amounts of biopharmaceuticals has been highly dependent on empirical approaches, but recent high-throughput "omics" methods are changing the situation in a rational manner. Omics data analyses using gene expression or metabolite profiling make it possible to identify key genes and metabolites in antibody production. Systematic omics approaches using different types of time-series data are expected to further enhance understanding of cellular behaviours and molecular networks for rational design of CHO cells. This study developed a systematic method for obtaining and analysing time-dependent intracellular and extracellular metabolite profiles, RNA-seq data (enzymatic mRNA levels) and cell counts from CHO cell cultures to capture an overall view of the CHO central metabolic pathway (CMP). We then calculated correlation coefficients among all the profiles and visualised the whole CMP by heatmap analysis and metabolic pathway mapping, to classify genes and metabolites together. This approach provides an efficient platform to identify key genes and metabolites in CHO cell culture.

Culture media optimization for Chinese hamster ovary cell growth and expression of recombinant varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E.

Project description:Herpes zoster (HZ) is caused by reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) latent in the sensory ganglia and causes severe pain, often leading to postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Two prophylactic vaccines against HZ are currently licensed for human use, a live attenuated vaccine and a subunit vaccine containing recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) as antigen. The latter has superior protective efficacy against HZ and PHN. During HZ subunit vaccine development, we obtained Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell clones expressing VZV gE. This study was performed to optimize culture media conditions for CHO cell growth and gE production. Using a high-throughput culture system, three CHO cell clones were cultured in microtiter plates containing 24 different basal media, and three basal media were selected. The clone with the highest gE expression was fed-batch cultured in each of the three basal media in combination with 13 different feed media. A pair of media, BalanCD CHO Growth A and EX-CELL Advanced CHO Feed 1, with the highest productivity was selected for gE production. Scale-up fed-batch cultures of the selected clone cultured in a wave bag bioreactor containing the optimized media yielded 2440 mg gE protein/L culture, a 11.5-fold increase compared to original culture conditions (batch culture in CD OptiCHO medium). The optimized media condition is used to produce VZV gE antigen for an HZ subunit vaccine, which is under phase I clinical trial. This study would provide valuable insights on culture media optimization for CHO cells expressing a recombinant vaccine antigen.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10616-021-00468-1.

Bioinformatic analysis of Chinese hamster ovary host cell protein lipases.

Project description:Complete, accurate genome assemblies are necessary to design targets for genetic engineering strategies. Successful gene knockdowns and knockouts in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells may prevent the expression of difficult-to-remove host cell proteins (HCPs). HCPs, if not removed, can cause problems in stability, safety, and efficacy of the biotherapeutic. A significantly improved Chinese hamster (CH) reference genome was used to identify new knockout targets with similar predicted functions and characteristics as the difficult-to-remove host cell lipases, LPL, PLBL2, and LPLA2. The CHO-K1 gene and protein sequences of several of these lipases were corrected using the updated CH genome. Sequence alignments were then used to identify conserved regions that may serve as possible targets for multiple simultaneous gene knockouts. Finally, comparison of the CHO-K1 lipase protein sequences to their human orthologs provided insight into which lipases, if persistent in the drug product, could possibly cause immunogenic responses in patients.

Recovery of Chinese hamster ovary host cell proteins for proteomic analysis.

Project description:Identification and characterization of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) host cell protein (HCP) impurities by proteomic techniques can aid bioprocess design and lead to more efficient development and improved biopharmaceutical manufacturing operations. Recovery of extracellular CHO HCP for proteomic analysis is particularly challenging due to the relatively low protein concentration and complex composition of media. In this article, we report the development of optimized protocols that improve proteome capture for CHO HCP. Eleven precipitation protocols were screened for protein recovery and optimized for a subset of precipitants by a design of experiments (DOE) approach. Because total protein recovery does not fully replicate a proteomics experiment, or detect non-protein agents that may interfere with proteomic methods, a subset of precipitation conditions were compared by two-dimensional electrophoresis and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, with optimized recovery shown to differ between the two proteomic methods. This work demonstrates broadly applicable methods that can be applied as initial steps to optimize sample preparation of any sample type for proteomic analysis, and presents optimized precipitation protocols for extracellular CHO HCP recovery, which can vary appreciably between gel-based and shotgun proteomic methods.

A Metabolomics Approach to Increasing Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cell Productivity.

Project description:Much progress has been made in improving the viable cell density of bioreactor cultures in monoclonal antibody production from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells; however, specific productivity (qP) has not been increased to the same degree. In this work, we analyzed a library of 24 antibody-expressing CHO cell clones to identify metabolites that positively associate with qP and could be used for clone selection or medium supplementation. An initial library of 12 clones, each producing one of two antibodies, was analyzed using untargeted LC-MS experiments. Metabolic model-based annotation followed by correlation analysis detected 73 metabolites that significantly correlated with growth, qP, or both. Of these, metabolites in the alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism pathway, and the TCA cycle showed the strongest association with qP. To evaluate whether these metabolites could be used as indicators to identify clones with potential for high productivity, we performed targeted LC-MS experiments on a second library of 12 clones expressing a third antibody. These experiments found that aspartate and cystine were positively correlated with qP, confirming the results from untargeted analysis. To investigate whether qP correlated metabolites reflected endogenous metabolic activity beneficial for productivity, several of these metabolites were tested as medium additives during cell culture. Medium supplementation with citrate improved qP by up to 490% and more than doubled the titer. Together, these studies demonstrate the potential for using metabolomics to discover novel metabolite additives that yield higher volumetric productivity in biologics production processes.

A Consensus Genome-scale Reconstruction of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Metabolism.

Project description:Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells dominate biotherapeutic protein production and are widely used in mammalian cell line engineering research. To elucidate metabolic bottlenecks in protein production and to guide cell engineering and bioprocess optimization, we reconstructed the metabolic pathways in CHO and associated them with >1,700 genes in the Cricetulus griseus genome. The genome-scale metabolic model based on this reconstruction, iCHO1766, and cell-line-specific models for CHO-K1, CHO-S, and CHO-DG44 cells provide the biochemical basis of growth and recombinant protein production. The models accurately predict growth phenotypes and known auxotrophies in CHO cells. With the models, we quantify the protein synthesis capacity of CHO cells and demonstrate that common bioprocess treatments, such as histone deacetylase inhibitors, inefficiently increase product yield. However, our simulations show that the metabolic resources in CHO are more than three times more efficiently utilized for growth or recombinant protein synthesis following targeted efforts to engineer the CHO secretory pathway. This model will further accelerate CHO cell engineering and help optimize bioprocesses.

Proteomic analysis of Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Project description:To complement the recent genomic sequencing of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, proteomic analysis was performed on CHO cells including the cellular proteome, secretome, and glycoproteome using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) of multiple fractions obtained from gel electrophoresis, multidimensional liquid chromatography, and solid phase extraction of glycopeptides (SPEG). From the 120 different mass spectrometry analyses generating 682,097 MS/MS spectra, 93,548 unique peptide sequences were identified with at most 0.02 false discovery rate (FDR). A total of 6164 grouped proteins were identified from both glycoproteome and proteome analysis, representing an 8-fold increase in the number of proteins currently identified in the CHO proteome. Furthermore, this is the first proteomic study done using the CHO genome exclusively, which provides for more accurate identification of proteins. From this analysis, the CHO codon frequency was determined and found to be distinct from humans, which will facilitate expression of human proteins in CHO cells. Analysis of the combined proteomic and mRNA data sets indicated the enrichment of a number of pathways including protein processing and apoptosis but depletion of proteins involved in steroid hormone and glycosphingolipid metabolism. Five-hundred four of the detected proteins included N-acetylation modifications, and 1292 different proteins were observed to be N-glycosylated. This first large-scale proteomic analysis will enhance the knowledge base about CHO capabilities for recombinant expression and provide information useful in cell engineering efforts aimed at modifying CHO cellular functions.
