Transferability of miRNA-technology to bioprocessing: Influence of cultivation mode and media.


ABSTRACT: The biopharmaceutical industry strives for improvement of their production processes. In recent years, miRNAs have been shown to positively impact the production capacity of recombinant CHO cells, especially with regard to difficult to express proteins. Effective and reliable gene regulation of process relevant target genes by miRNAs is a prerequisite for integrating them into the toolbox of industrial cell engineering strategies. However, most studies rely on transient transfection of miRNA mimics; there is low standardization in evaluation of miRNA function and little knowledge on transferability of effects found during transient expression to stable expression during industry relevant fed-batch cultivation. In order to provide more insight into this topic, we used the pcDNA6.2 vector for stable miRNA overexpression during batch and fed-batch cultivation in CHO DG44 cells, optimized the vector, and compared the miRNA levels and effects with those achieved by transfection of miRNA mimics. We found that miR-1 downregulated TWF1 mRNA in different recombinant CHO DG44 clones in a dose-dependent manner during transient batch cultivation. Cells stably overexpressing miR-1 also showed a TWF1 mRNA downregulation when cultivated in batch mode using in-house medium 1. However, when the cells stably overexpressing miR-1 were cultivated in fed-batch mode using in-house medium 2. Consequently, a change of cultivation mode and medium seems to have an impact on target gene regulation by miRNA. Taken together, our findings highlight the importance to standardize miRNA evaluations and test miRNAs in the final application environment.
