Endotransglycosylation of xyloglucans in plant cell suspension cultures.

ABSTRACT: 1. A xyloglucan-derived nonasaccharide ([3H]XG9; Glc4,Xyl3,Gal,Fuc) was neither taken up by cultured plant cells nor appreciably hydrolysed by them, but a proportion of it became incorporated into extracellular polymers in all cultures tested (Spinacia, Daucus, Rosa, Acer, Capsicum, Zea and Festuca). 2. In Spinacia these polymers were soluble in 20% (w/v) trichloroacetic acid, had apparent Mr 20,000-30,000, were able to bind reversibly to cellulose powder and were susceptible to hydrolysis by endo-beta-(1----4)-D-glucanase, indicating that they were xyloglucans. 3. The linkage formed between [3H]XG9 and the xyloglucan was alkali-stable and glucanase-labile, indicating that the reaction responsible for the incorporation was a transglycosylation. 4. The reducing terminus of the XG9 moiety remained reducing (convertible into [3H]glucitol by NaBH4) after incorporation into the polymer, showing that the XG9 was the glycosyl acceptor and the polysaccharide the donor. 5. The results provide the first evidence that polymeric xyloglucans are subject in vivo to cleavage followed by transfer of the cut end on the other xyloglucan-related molecules. 6. Similar endotransglycosylation reactions could occur within the primary cell wall, between pairs of high-Mr structural xyloglucan molecules. Such a reaction would provide a mechanism for reversible wall loosening and may thus be relevant to our understanding of plant cell growth.

Efficient plant regeneration from embryogenic cell suspension cultures of Euonymus alatus.

Project description:To establish an efficient plant regeneration system from cell suspension cultures of Euonymus alatus, embryogenic callus formation from immature embryos was investigated. The highest frequency of embryogenic callus formation reached 50% when the immature zygotic embryos were incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D). At higher concentrations of 2,4-D (over 2 mg/L), the frequency of embryogenic callus formation declined significantly. The total number of somatic embryos development was highest with the 3% (w/v) sucrose treatment, which was found to be the optimal concentration for somatic embryo formation. Activated charcoal (AC) and 6-benzyladenine (BA) significantly increased the frequency of plantlet conversion from somatic embryos, but gibberellic acid (GA3) had a negative effect on plantlet conversion and subsequent development from somatic embryos. Even though the cell suspension cultures were maintained for more than 1 year, cell aggregates from embryogenic cell suspension cultures were successfully converted into normal somatic embryos with two cotyledons. To our knowledge, this is the first successful report of a plant regeneration system of E. alatus via somatic embryogenesis. Thus, the embryogenic cell line and plant regeneration system established in this study can be applied to mass proliferation and production of pharmaceutical metabolite in E. alatus.

Statistical optimization of bacoside A biosynthesis in plant cell suspension cultures using response surface methodology.

Project description:The in vitro cultures of Bacopa monnieri show poor production of the anti-Alzheimer's drug, bacoside A. Therefore, suitable bioprocess optimization strategy was developed for callus induction from leaf explants (30 days), followed by callus proliferation (15 days). Central Composite Design was implemented to analyze the effect of pH, photoperiod, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), and benzylaminopurine (BAP) concentration for maximum biosynthesis of bacoside A using leaf explants as well as callus explants as the inoculum. Using the CCD responses, it was predicted that the best biomass concentration of 4.56 ± 0.53 g/l DW and bacoside A production of 14.04 ± 1.31 mg/g DW can be obtained using 5.4 pH, 18 h/6 h L/D photoperiod regime, and 1.2 mg/l BAP in combination with 0.2 mg/l NAA. The kinetic parameter values for maximum specific growth rate (0.16/day), saturation constant (7.35 g/l), inhibition constant (120 g/l), biomass yield (0.011 g/g), maintenance coefficient (0.02 g/g/day), and growth-associated (0.627 mg/g) and non-growth-associated (1.096 mg/g/day) bacoside A formation constants were determined experimentally in batch cultures using optimized conditions.

LEDitSHAKE: a lighting system to optimize the secondary metabolite content of plant cell suspension cultures.

Project description:Plant secondary metabolites are widely used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. They can be extracted from sterile grown plant cell suspension cultures, but yields and quality strongly depend on the cultivation environment, including optimal illumination. Current shaking incubators do not allow different light wavelengths, intensities and photoperiods to be tested in parallel. We therefore developed LEDitSHAKE, a system for multiplexed customized illumination within a single shaking incubator. We used 3D printing to integrate light-emitting diode assemblies into flask housings, allowing 12 different lighting conditions (spectrum, intensity and photoperiod) to be tested simultaneously. We did a proof of principle of LEDitSHAKE using the system to optimize anthocyanin production in grapevine cell suspension cultures. The effect of 24 different light compositions on the total anthocyanin content of grapevine cell suspension cultures was determined using a Design of Experiments approach. We predicted the optimal lighting conditions for the upregulation and downregulation of 30 anthocyanins and found that short-wavelength light (blue, UV) maximized the concentration of most anthocyanins, whereas long-wavelength light (red) had the opposite effect. Therefore our results demonstrate proof of principle that the LEDitSHAKE system is suitable for the optimization of processes based on plant cell suspension cultures.

A simple and efficient method for the long-term preservation of plant cell suspension cultures.

Project description:BackgroundThe repeated weekly subculture of plant cell suspension is labour intensive and increases the risk of variation from parental cells lines. Most of the procedures to preserve cultures are based on controlled freezing/thawing and storage in liquid nitrogen. However, cells viability after unfreezing is uncertain. The long-term storage and regeneration of plant cell cultures remains a priority.ResultsSycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) and Arabidopsis cell were preserved over six months as suspensions cultures in a phosphate-free nutrient medium at 5°C. The cell recovery monitored via gas exchange measurements and metabolic profiling using in vitro and in vivo 13C- and 31P-NMR took a couple of hours, and cell growth restarted without appreciable delay. No measurable cell death was observed.ConclusionWe provide a simple method to preserve physiologically homogenous plant cell cultures without subculture over several months. The protocol based on the blockage of cell growth and low culture temperature is robust for heterotrophic and semi-autotrophic cells and should be adjustable to cell lines other than those utilised in this study. It requires no specialized equipment and is suitable for routine laboratory use.

The Influence of Plant Stress Hormones and Biotic Elicitors on Cyclotide Production in <i>Viola uliginosa</i> Cell Suspension Cultures.

Project description:Cyclotides are macrocycle peptides produced by plants from several families, including Violaceae. These compounds have the potential for applications in medicine, bioengineering and crop protection thanks to their multiple biological activities. In most cases, cyclotides are extracted from plant material. Plant cell culture provides a viable and sustainable form of plant biomass production Cyclotides are host defense peptides. The aim of the current study was to test whether different plant stress hormones and biological elicitors have effects on cyclotide production in Viola uliginosa suspension cultures. Different concentrations of jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), abscisic acid (ABA) and neutralized pathogens were tested. The cyclotide production was assessed using MALDI-MS. Five major peptides produced by V. uliginosa cultures were chosen for analysis, of which one was sequenced de novo. The treatments had little influence on the suspension's growth, with the exception of 100 μM SA, which enhanced the biomass increase, and 100 μM ABA, which was toxic. Significant increases in the production of three cyclotides (viul M, cyO13 and cyO3) were observed in suspensions primed with JA (50 μM, 100 μM, 200 μM) after 14 days of culturing. Biotic elicitors had no observable effect on cyclotide production. The current study indicates that some cyclotides in V. uliginosa are triggered in response to JA. The stress plant hormones can be used to enhance plant cell culture-based production systems.

Bioreactor production of rVSV-based vectors in Vero cell suspension cultures.

Project description:The Vero cell line is the most used continuous cell line in viral vaccine manufacturing. This adherent cell culture platform requires the use of surfaces to support cell growth, typically roller bottles, or microcarriers. We have recently compared the production of rVSV-ZEBOV on Vero cells between microcarrier and fixed-bed bioreactors. However, suspension cultures are considered superior with regard to process scalability. Therefore, we further explore the Vero suspension system for recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-vectored vaccine production. Previously, this suspension cell line was only able to be cultivated in a proprietary medium. Here, we expand the adaptation and bioreactor cultivation to a serum-free commercial medium. Following small-scale optimization and screening studies, we demonstrate bioreactor productions of highly relevant vaccines and vaccine candidates against Ebola virus disease, HIV, and coronavirus disease 2019 in the Vero suspension system. rVSV-ZEBOV, rVSV-HIV, and rVSVInd -msp-SF -Gtc can replicate to high titers in the bioreactor, reaching 3.87 × 107 TCID50 /ml, 2.12 × 107 TCID50 /ml, and 3.59 × 109 TCID50 /ml, respectively. Furthermore, we compare cell-specific productivities, and the quality of the produced viruses by determining the ratio of total viral particles to infectious viral particles.

Oxygen transport and stem cell aggregation in stirred-suspension bioreactor cultures.

Project description:Stirred-suspension bioreactors are a promising modality for large-scale culture of 3D aggregates of pluripotent stem cells and their progeny. Yet, cells within these clusters experience limitations in the transfer of factors and particularly O2 which is characterized by low solubility in aqueous media. Cultured stem cells under different O2 levels may exhibit significantly different proliferation, viability and differentiation potential. Here, a transient diffusion-reaction model was built encompassing the size distribution and ultrastructural characteristics of embryonic stem cell (ESC) aggregates. The model was coupled to experimental data from bioreactor and static cultures for extracting the effective diffusivity and kinetics of consumption of O2 within mouse (mESC) and human ESC (hESC) clusters. Under agitation, mESC aggregates exhibited a higher maximum consumption rate than hESC aggregates. Moreover, the reaction-diffusion model was integrated with a population balance equation (PBE) for the temporal distribution of ESC clusters changing due to aggregation and cell proliferation. Hypoxia was found to be negligible for ESCs with a smaller radius than 100 µm but became appreciable for aggregates larger than 300 µm. The integrated model not only captured the O2 profile both in the bioreactor bulk and inside ESC aggregates but also led to the calculation of the duration that fractions of cells experience a certain range of O2 concentrations. The approach described in this study can be employed for gaining a deeper understanding of the effects of O2 on the physiology of stem cells organized in 3D structures. Such frameworks can be extended to encompass the spatial and temporal availability of nutrients and differentiation factors and facilitate the design and control of relevant bioprocesses for the production of stem cell therapeutics.

Single-cell microscopy of suspension cultures using a microfluidics-assisted cell screening platform.

Project description:Studies that rely on fluorescence imaging of nonadherent cells that are cultured in suspension, such as Escherichia coli, are often hampered by trade-offs that must be made between data throughput and imaging resolution. We developed a platform for microfluidics-assisted cell screening (MACS) that overcomes this trade-off by temporarily immobilizing suspension cells within a microfluidics chip. This enables high-throughput and automated single-cell microscopy for a wide range of cell types and sizes. As cells can be rapidly sampled directly from a suspension culture, MACS bypasses the need for sample preparation, and therefore allows measurements without perturbing the native cell physiology. The setup can also be integrated with complex growth chambers, and can be used to enrich or sort the imaged cells. Furthermore, MACS facilitates the visualization of individual cytoplasmic fluorescent proteins (FPs) in E. coli, allowing low-abundance proteins to be counted using standard total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy. Finally, MACS can be used to impart mechanical pressure for assessing the structural integrity of individual cells and their response to mechanical perturbations, or to make cells take up chemicals that otherwise would not pass through the membrane. This protocol describes the assembly of electronic control circuitry, the construction of liquid-handling components and the creation of the MACS microfluidics chip. The operation of MACS is described, and automation software is provided to integrate MACS control with image acquisition. Finally, we provide instructions for extending MACS using an external growth chamber (1 d) and for how to sort rare cells of interest.

Epigenomic consequences of immortalized plant cell suspension culture.

Project description:Plant cells grown in culture exhibit genetic and epigenetic instability. Using a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation and DNA methylation profiling on tiling microarrays, we have mapped the location and abundance of histone and DNA modifications in a continuously proliferating, dedifferentiated cell suspension culture of Arabidopsis. We have found that euchromatin becomes hypermethylated in culture and that a small percentage of the hypermethylated genes become associated with heterochromatic marks. In contrast, the heterochromatin undergoes dramatic and very precise DNA hypomethylation with transcriptional activation of specific transposable elements (TEs) in culture. High throughput sequencing of small interfering RNA (siRNA) revealed that TEs activated in culture have increased levels of 21-nucleotide (nt) siRNA, sometimes at the expense of the 24-nt siRNA class. In contrast, TEs that remain silent, which match the predominant 24-nt siRNA class, do not change significantly in their siRNA profiles. These results implicate RNA interference and chromatin modification in epigenetic restructuring of the genome following the activation of TEs in immortalized cell culture.

Exogenous abscisic acid treatment regulates protein secretion in sorghum cell suspension cultures.

Project description:Drought stress adversely affects plant growth, often leading to total crop failure. Upon sensing soil water deficits, plants switch on biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA), a stress hormone for drought adaptation. Here, we used exogenous ABA application to dark-grown sorghum cell suspension cultures as an experimental system to understand how a drought-tolerant crop responds to ABA. We evaluated intracellular and secreted proteins using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification. While the abundance of only ~ 7% (46 proteins) intracellular proteins changed in response to ABA, ~32% (82 proteins) of secreted proteins identified in this study were ABA responsive. This shows that the extracellular matrix is disproportionately targeted and suggests it plays a vital role in sorghum adaptation to drought. Extracellular proteins responsive to ABA were predominantly defense/detoxification and cell wall-modifying enzymes. We confirmed that sorghum plants exposed to drought stress activate genes encoding the same proteins identified in the in vitro cell culture system with ABA. Our results suggest that ABA activates defense and cell wall remodeling systems during stress response. This could underpin the success of sorghum adaptation to drought stress.
