Serum-free cultures of C2C12 cells show different muscle phenotypes which can be estimated by metabolic profiling.

ABSTRACT: In vitro skeletal muscle cell production is emerging in the field of artificial lab-grown meat as alternative future food. Currently, there is an urgent paradigm shift towards a serum replacement culture system. Surprisingly, little is known about the impact of serum-free culture on skeletal muscle cells to date. Therefore, we performed metabolic profiling of the C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes in serum-free mediums (B27, AIM-V) and compared it with conventional serum supplementation culture. Furthermore, cell morphology, viability, and myogenic differentiation were observed for 7 days of cultivation. Intriguingly, the metabolic difference is more dominant between the cell status than medium effects. In addition, proliferative myoblast showed more distinct metabolic differences than differentiated myotubes in different culture conditions. The intracellular levels of GL3P and UDP-GlcNAc were significantly increased in myotubes versus myoblast. Non-essential amino acids and pyruvate reduction and transamination showed significant differences among serum, B27, and AIM-V cultures. Intracellular metabolite profiles indicated that C2C12 myotubes cultured in serum and B27 had predominant glycolytic and oxidative metabolism, respectively, indicating fast and slow types of muscle confirmed by MHC immunostaining. This work might be helpful to understand the altered metabolism of skeletal muscle cells in serum-free culture and contribute to future artificial meat research work.

Wnt5a does not support hematopoiesis in stroma-free, serum-free cultures.

Project description:Previously we reported that Wnt5a is highly expressed in the murine urogenital ridge-derived UG26-1B6 cells but not embryonic liver-derived EL08-1D2 cells. Mouse long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LTR-HSC) were maintained in non-contact UG26-1B6 cultures but not EL08-1D2 non-contact cultures, unless Wnt5a was also added to the cultures, suggesting a role for Wnt5a in the in vitro maintenance of LTR-HSC. Here, we investigated if the effect of Wnt5a on adult LTR-HSC activity is HSC-autonomous. To test the effect of Wnt5a on maintenance of LTR-HSC, we performed limiting dilution competitive transplantation assays of murine Lin-Sca1(+) c-kit(+) (LSK) cells cultured for 5 days with TPO and SCF with and without Wnt5a. The effect of Wnt5a on the generation of colony forming units (CFU) and the homing ability of LSK progeny was also tested. No effects were found of Wnt5a on total cell expansion, the number of CFU, or homing ability of day 5 LSK progeny. Furthermore, addition of Wnt5a did not improve, but may have impeded maintenance of LTR-HSC. In conclusion, our data indicate that Wnt5a does not enhance the maintenance and expansion of adult murine LTR-HSCs or committed progenitors cultured in vitro in serum- and stroma-free conditions.

The impact of serum-free culture on HEK293 cells: From the establishment of suspension and adherent serum-free adaptation cultures to the investigation of growth and metabolic profiles.

Project description:Serum-free cultures are preferred for application in clinical cell therapy and facilitate the purification processes of bioproducts, such as vaccines and recombinant proteins. It can replace traditional cell culture - eliminating potential issues posed by animal-derived serum supplementation, such as lot to lot variation and risks of pathogen infection from the host animal. However, adapting cells to serum-free conditions can be challenging and time-consuming, and is cell line and medium dependent. In addition, the knowledge of the impact of serum-free culture on cellular metabolism is limited. Herein, we successfully established serum-free suspension and adherent cultures through two adaptation procedures for HEK293 cells in serum-free Freestyle 293 medium. Furthermore, growth kinetics and intracellular metabolic profiles related to central carbon metabolism were investigated. The entire adaptation procedure took 1 month, and high cell viability (>90%) was maintained throughout. The serum-free adherent culture showed the best growth performance, measured as the highest cell density and growth rate. The largest differences in metabolic profiles were observed between culture modes (adherent vs. suspension), followed by culture medium condition (control growth medium vs. serum-free medium). Metabolic differences related to the adaptation procedures were only seen in suspension cultures. Interestingly, the intracellular itaconate concentration was significantly higher in suspension cells compared to adherent cells. Furthermore, when the cells back-adapted from serum-free to serum-supplemented control medium, their metabolic profiles were immediately reversed, highlighting the effect of extracellular components on metabolic phenotype. This study provides strategies for efficient serum-free cultivation and deeper insights into the cellular responses related to growth and metabolism responses to diverse culture conditions.

Effect of everolimus on the glucose metabolic pathway in mouse skeletal muscle cells (C2C12).

Project description:IntroductionEverolimus selectively inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and exerts an antineoplastic effect. Metabolic disturbance has emerged as a common and unique side effect of everolimus.ObjectivesWe used targeted metabolomic analysis to investigate the effects of everolimus on the intracellular glycometabolic pathway.MethodsMouse skeletal muscle cells (C2C12) were exposed to everolimus for 48 h, and changes in intracellular metabolites were determined by capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry. mRNA abundance, protein expression and activity were measured for enzymes involved in glycometabolism and related pathways.ResultsBoth extracellular and intracellular glucose levels increased with exposure to everolimus. Most intracellular glycometabolites were decreased by everolimus, including those involved in glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway, whereas no changes were observed in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Everolimus suppressed mRNA expression of enzymes related to glycolysis, downstream of mTOR signaling enzymes and adenosine 5'-monophosphate protein kinases. The activity of key enzymes involved in glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway were decreased by everolimus. These results show that everolimus impairs glucose utilization in intracellular metabolism.ConclusionsThe present metabolomic analysis indicates that everolimus impairs glucose metabolism in muscle cells by lowering the activities of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway.

Metabolic Profiling of Serum for Osteoarthritis Biomarkers.

Project description:Osteoarthritis is a prevalent aging disease in the world, and in recent years it has shown a trend toward younger age, which is becoming a major health problem in the world and seriously endangers the health of the elderly. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of osteoarthritis are still unclear, causing great trouble for treatment. To screen out candidate biomarkers that could be used for the identification of osteoarthritis and explore the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis, we performed an untargeted metabolomics analysis of nine New Zealand rabbit serum samples by LC-MS/MS, including three normal serum samples (control group) and six osteoarthritis serum samples (case group). Finally, 44 differential metabolites were identified, and the ROC analysis results indicated that a total of 36 differential metabolites could be used as candidate biomarkers. Further metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was performed on these differential metabolites, and we found that a total of 17 metabolic pathways were affected, which may provide directions for the study of osteoarthritis mechanisms.

Changes in metabolic phenotypes of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro cultures during gametocyte development.

Project description:BackgroundGametocytes are the Plasmodium life stage that is solely responsible for malaria transmission. Despite their important role in perpetuating malaria, gametocyte differentiation and development is poorly understood.MethodsTo shed light on the biochemical changes that occur during asexual and gametocyte development, metabolic characterization of media from in vitro intra-erythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum cultures was performed throughout gametocyte development by applying 1H nuclear magnetic spectroscopy, and using sham erythrocyte cultures as controls. Spectral differences between parasite and sham cultures were assessed via principal component analyses and partial-least squares analyses, and univariate statistical methods.ResultsClear parasite-associated changes in metabolism were observed throughout the culture period, revealing differences between asexual parasites and gametocyte stages. With culture progression and development of gametocytes, parasitic release of the glycolytic end products lactate, pyruvate, alanine, and glycerol, were found to be dramatically reduced whilst acetate release was greatly increased. Also, uptake of lipid moieties CH(2), CH(3), and CH = CH-CH(2)-CH(2) increased throughout gametocyte development, peaking with maturity.ConclusionsThis study uniquely presents an initial characterization of the metabolic exchange between parasite and culture medium during in vitro P. falciparum gametocyte culture. Results suggest that energy metabolism and lipid utilization between the asexual stages and gametocytes is different. This study provides new insights for gametocyte-specific nutritional requirements to aid future optimization and standardization of in vitro gametocyte cultivation, and highlights areas of novel gametocyte cell biology that deserve to be studied in greater detail and may yield new targets for transmission-blocking drugs.

Differentiation of mouse fetal lung alveolar progenitors in serum-free organotypic cultures.

Project description:Lung epithelial progenitors differentiate into alveolar type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) cells. These cells form the air-blood interface and secrete surfactant, respectively, and are essential for lung maturation and function. Current protocols to derive and culture alveolar cells do not faithfully recapitulate the architecture of the distal lung, which influences cell fate patterns in vivo. Here, we report serum-free conditions that allow for growth and differentiation of mouse distal lung epithelial progenitors. We find that Collagen I promotes the differentiation of flattened, polarized AT1 cells. Using these organoids, we performed a chemical screen to investigate WNT signaling in epithelial differentiation. We identify an association between Casein Kinase activity and maintenance of an AT2 expression signature; Casein Kinase inhibition leads to an increase in AT1/progenitor cell ratio. These organoids provide a simplified model of alveolar differentiation and constitute a scalable screening platform to identify and analyze cell differentiation mechanisms.

Serum response factor-dependent MicroRNAs regulate gastrointestinal smooth muscle cell phenotypes.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS:Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) change phenotypes under various pathophysiological conditions. These changes are largely controlled by the serum response factor (SRF), a transcription factor that binds to CC (A/T)6 GG (CArG) boxes in SM contractile genes. MicroRNAs (miRNA) regulate transitions among SMC phenotypes. The SMC miRNA transcriptome (SMC miRNAome) and its regulation by SRF have not been determined. METHODS:We performed massively parallel sequencing to identify gastrointestinal (GI) SMC miRNA transcriptomes in mice and humans. SMC miRNA transcriptomes were mapped to identify all CArG boxes, which were confirmed by SRF knockdown and microarrays. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to identify SMC-phenotypic miRNAs in differentiated and proliferating SMCs. Bioinformatics and target validation analysis showed regulation of SMC phenotype by SRF-dependent, SMC-phenotype miRNAs. RESULTS:We cloned and identified GI miRNA transcriptomes using genome-wide analyses of mouse and human cells. The SM miRNAome consisted of hundreds of unique miRNAs that were highly conserved among both species. We mapped miRNAs CArG boxes and found that many had an SRF-dependent signature in the SM miRNAome. The SM miRNAs CArG boxes had several distinct features. We also identified approximately 100 SMC-phenotypic miRNAs that were induced in differentiated or proliferative SMC phenotypes. We showed that SRF-dependent, SMC-phenotypic miRNAs bind and regulate Srf and its cofactors, myocadin (Myocd) and member of ETS oncogene family Elk1. CONCLUSIONS:The GI SMC phenotypes are controlled by SRF-dependent, SMC-phenotypic miRNAs that regulate expression of SRF, MYOCD, and ELK1.
