Based upon the results of scale-down intermittent perfusion processes, a cell-once-through (COT) perfusion concept was applied to a dual bioreactor system coupled to a Centritech Lab II centrifuge for culture of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cells for monoclonal antibody production. In this new culture mode, i.e., the COT perfusion process, total spent medium was transferred to the centrifuge and a fixed percentage was removed. Approximately 99% of the viable cells are transferred to another bioreactor filled with fresh medium by single operation of the Centritech Lab II centrifuge system for about 30 min. Accordingly, a significant reduction of the cell-passage frequency to the centrifuge led to minimization of cell damage caused by mechanical shear stress, oxygen limitation, nutrient limitation, and low temperature outside the bioreactor. The effects of culture temperature shift and fortified medium on cell growth and recombinant antibody production in the COT perfusion process were investigated. Although the suppressive effects of low culture temperature on cell growth led to a loss of stability in a long-term COT perfusion culture system, the average antibody concentration at 33 degrees C was 157.8 mg/L, approximately 2.4-fold higher than that at 37 degrees C. By the use of a fortified medium at 37 degrees C, rCHO cells were maintained at high density above 1.2 x 10(7) cells/mL, and antibody was produced continuously in a range of 260-280 mg/L in a stable long-term COT perfusion culture. The proposed new culture mode, the COT perfusion approach, guarantees the recovery of rCHO cells damaged by lowered temperature or high lactate and ammonium concentration. It will be an attractive choice for minimization of cell damage and stable long-term antibody production with high cell density.

3-Methyladenine (3-MA) is a chemical additive that enhances the specific productivity (q p ) in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cell lines. Different from its widely known function of inhibiting autophagy, 3-MA has instead shown to increase autophagic flux in various rCHO cell lines. Thus, the mechanism by which 3-MA enhances the q p requires investigation. To evaluate the effect of 3-MA on transcriptome dynamics in rCHO cells, RNA-seq was performed with Fc-fusion protein-producing rCHO cells treated with 3-MA. By analyzing genes that were differentially expressed following the addition of 3-MA during culture, the role of 3-MA in the biological processes of rCHO cells was identified. One pathway markedly influenced by the addition of 3-MA was the unfolded protein response (UPR). Having a close relationship with autophagy, the UPR reestablishes protein folding homeostasis under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The addition of 3-MA increased the expression of key regulators of the UPR, such as Atf4, Ddit3, and Creb3l3, further supporting the idea that the enhancement of ER capacity acts as a key in increasing the q p . Consequently, the downstream effectors of UPR, which include autophagy-promoting genes, were upregulated as well. Hence, the role of 3-MA in increasing UPR pathway could have made a salient contribution to the increased autophagic flux in rCHO cells. Taken together, transcriptome analysis improved the understanding of the role of 3-MA in gene expression dynamics in rCHO cells and its mechanism in enhancing the q p .

Apoptosis-resistant dihydrofolate reductase-deficient CHO cell line (dhfr(-) CHO-bcl2) was developed by introduction of the bcl-2 gene into the dhfr(-) CHO cell line (DUKX-B11, ATCC CRL-9096) and subsequent selection of clones stably overexpressing Bcl-2 in the absence of selection pressure. When the dhfr(-) CHO-bcl2 cell line was used as a host cell line for development of a recombinant CHO (rCHO) cell line expressing a humanized antibody, it displayed stable expression of the bcl-2 gene during rCHO cell line development and no detrimental effect of Bcl-2 overexpression on specific antibody productivity. Taken together, the results obtained demonstrate that the use of an apoptosis-resistant dhfr(-) CHO cell line as the host cell line saves the effort of establishing an apoptosis-resistant rCHO cell line and expedites the development process of apoptosis-resistant rCHO cells producing therapeutic proteins.

Recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cells capable of producing a prourokinase mutant (mPro-uk) grown as suspended aggregates in stirred vessels were described and characterized. The addition of chitosan to a mixture of DMEM and Ham's F12 (D-MEM/F-12) medium promoted cell aggregation and spheroid formation efficiently. Multicellular aggregates formed immediately after the rCHO cells were inoculated into the chitosan-added medium, and the mean diameter of the cell aggregates reflecting the aggregate size increased with culture time, shifting from 65 to 163 mum after 2 and 9 d of culture in spinner flasks. No significant difference in the metabolism performance of the rCHO cells was observed between suspended aggregates and anchored monolayers. However, the cells cultured as suspended aggregates showed a marked decrease in growth rate as evaluated from specific growth rate (mu). Replacing D-MEM/F-12 medium with CD 293 medium caused compact spherical cell aggregates to dissociate into small irregular aggregates and single cells without apparent effects on cell performance in subcultures. The perfusion culture of the rCHO cells grown as suspended aggregates in a 2-l stirred tank bioreactor for 15 d resulted in a maximum viable cell density of 5.6 x 10(6) cells ml(-1) and an mPro-uk concentration of about 2.6 x 10(3) IU ml(-1), and cell viability was remained at roughly 90% during the entire run.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most common cell line used for the production of therapeutic proteins including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Host cell proteins (HCPs), secreted and released from lysed cells, accumulate extracellularly during the cultures of recombinant CHO (rCHO) cells, potentially impairing product quality. In an effort to maintain good mAb quality during the cultures, HCPs accumulated extracellularly in batch and fed-batch cultures of a mAb-producing rCHO cell line were identified and quantified by nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, followed by their gene ontology and functional analysis. Due to higher cell concentration and longer culture duration, more HCPs were identified and quantitated in fed-batch culture (2145 proteins identified and 1673 proteins quantified) than in batch culture (1934 proteins identified and 1486 proteins quantified). Clustering analysis of HCPs showed that the concentration profiles of HCPs affecting mAb quality (Lgmn, Ctsd, Gbl1, and B4galt1) correlated with changes in mAb quality attributes such as aggregation, charge variants, and N-glycosylation during the cultures. Taken together, the dataset of HCPs obtained in this study provides insights into determining the appropriate target proteins to be removed during both the cultures and purification steps for ensuring good mAb quality.

High-temperature electrically conducting polymers are described. The in situ reactions: AgNO[sub 3] + RCHO [yields] Ag + RCOOH and R[sub 3]M [yields] M + 3R, where M=Au or Pt have been found to introduce either substantial bulk or surface conductivity in high-temperature polymers. The reactions involving the R[sub 3]M were caused to proceed thermally suggesting the possibility of using laser means for initiating such reactions in selected areas or volumes of the polymeric materials. The polymers successfully investigated to date are polyphenylquinoxaline, polytolylquinoxaline, polyquinoline, polythiazole, and pyrone.

Recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells, producing recombinant antibody against the human platelet, were cultivated in a depth filter perfusion system (DFPS). When perfusion cultures with working volume of 1 L were operated at perfusion rates of 5/d and 6/d, volumetric antibody productivities reached values 28 and 34 times higher than that of batch suspension culture in Erlenmeyer flasks and 43 and 53 times higher than that of batch culture in a controlled stirred tank reactor, respectively. Perfusion cultures in the DFPS showed stable antibody production over the whole culture period of up to 20 days. In the DFPS, inoculated cells in suspension were entrapped in a few hours within the depth filter matrix by medium circulation and retained there until the void space of the filter matrix was saturated by the cultured cells. After cells in the depth filter matrix reached saturation, overgrown viable cells at a perfusion rate of 5/d or 6/d were continuously collected into waste medium at a density of 2-4 x 10(5) cells/mL, which resulted in stable operation at high perfusion rates, maintaining values of process parameters such as glucose/lactate concentration, pH, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Because the DFPS overcomes most drawbacks observed with conventional perfusion systems, it is preferable to be used as a key culture system to produce monoclonal antibody stably for a long culture period.

SOCS3: an essential regulator of LIF receptor signaling in trophoblast giant cell differentiation
Takahashi, Yutaka; Carpino, Nick; Cross, James C.; Torres, Miguel; Parganas, Evan; Ihle, James N.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) binds cytokine receptors and thereby suppresses cytokine signaling. Deletion of SOCS3 causes an embryonic lethality that is rescued by a tetraploid rescue approach, demonstrating an essential role in placental development and a non-essential role in embryo development. Rescued SOCS3-deficient mice show a perinatal lethality with cardiac hypertrophy. SOCS3-deficient placentas have reduced spongiotrophoblasts and increased trophoblast secondary giant cells. Enforced expression of SOCS3 in a trophoblast stem cell line (Rcho-1) suppresses giant cell differentiation. Conversely, SOCS3-deficient trophoblast stem cells differentiate more readily to giant cells in culture, demonstrating that SOCS3 negatively regulates trophoblast giant cell differentiation. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) promotes giant cell differentiation in vitro, and LIF receptor (LIFR) deficiency results in loss of giant cell differentiation in vivo. Finally, LIFR deficiency rescues the SOCS3-deficient placental defect and embryonic lethality. The results establish SOCS3 as an essential regulator of LIFR signaling in trophoblast differentiation.

Perfusion cultures of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells, producing recombinant antibody against the S surface antigen of Hepatitis B virus, were carried out in continuous and intermittent mode using a Centritech Lab II Centrifuge. In the continuous perfusion process, despite the absence of shear stress from the pump head, long-term operation was not possible because of continuously repeated exposure to oxygen limitation and low temperature, as well as shear stress from centrifugal force. In the intermittent perfusion processes, the frequency of cell-passage through the centrifuge was substantially reduced, compared with the continuous perfusion mode; however, the degree of reduction could not guarantee stable long-term operation. Although various operating parameters were applied in the intermittent perfusion cultures, high cell densities could not be maintained stably. In a single bioreactor culture system, a specific cell that is returned from the centrifuge to the bioreactor could be transferred from the bioreactor to the centrifuge again in the next cycle. These repetitive damages, caused by shear stress from the pump head and centrifugal force, as well as exposure to suboptimal conditions such as oxygen limitation and low temperature below 37 degrees C, were more serious at higher perfusion rates. Subsequently, damaged cells and dead cells were continuously accumulated in the bioreactor. Culture temperature shift from 37 to 33 degrees C increased antibody concentrations but showed inhibitory effects on cell growth. The negative effects of lowering culture temperature on cell growth overwhelmed the positive effects on antibody production. To protect cells from shear stress, Pluronic F-68 was 2-fold concentrated in the culture medium; nevertheless, a significantly higher concentration of Pluronic F-68 (2 g/L) may have inhibitory effects on cell growth.

A study was made of the radiolytic behavior of dilute, neutral, oxygen-free aqueous solutions of CH/sub 3/CN and C/sub 2/H/sub 5/CN. Small-molecular products were identified as RCHO, NH/sub 3/, CO/sub 2/, and H/sub 2/. The decomposition of nitrile is followed by high yields of formation of the nonvolatile nitrogen-containing compounds, G(N). The ..gamma..-irradiated solutions exhibit a positive biuret reaction. Several amino acids were identified among radiolytic products, and glycine and alanine were found to be the most abundant for CH/sub 3/CN and C/sub 2/H/sub 5/CH, respectively. Their yields increased after strong acid hydrolysis of the irradiated samples. The free radicalsmore » formed by reactions of RCN with H, OH, and e/sub aq/- were found to be important for the phenomena observed. It is suggested that the positive biuret reaction, ir spectra, and the release of amino acids on acid hydrolysis provide some evidence on the formation of peptidic materials and might be of interest for the evaluation of the role that ionizing radiation might have played in prebiotic chemical evolution in aqueous media.« less

A well-known photochemical process of U(VI)O(2)(2+) reduction to U(V)O(2)(+) in the presence of alcohols was studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that the first process which takes place is a photoexcitation of the ground-state UO(2)(2+) to the triplet excited state (*UO(2)(2+)) followed by a significant shortening of the *UO(2)(2+)-to-alcohol O(ax)-H distance. A charge transfer from *UO(2)(2+) to alcohol and hydrogen abstraction takes place in the following step. Consequently, U(VI)O(2)(2+) gets reduced to U(V)O(OH)(2+). The photochemical byproduct RCHOH acts further as a reducing agent toward UO(2)(2+) to yield UO(2)(+) and RCHO (aldehyde). Only a combination of these two reactions can explain a high quantum yield of this reaction. In the absence of alcohol, the lowest-lying triplet state exhibits a different character, and photoreduction is unlikely to take place via the same mechanism. The present results agree well with recent experimental finding [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 14024] and supports the idea that the O(ax)-H linkage between UO(2)(2+) and the solvent molecule is the key to the photochemical reduction process.

The reaction of dehydroacetic acid DHA carboxaldehyde and RCHO derivatives (R = quinoleine-8-; indole-3-; pyrrol-2- and 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl - afforded four new chalcone ligands (4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-[(2E)-3-quinolin-8-ylprop-2-enoyl]-2H-pyran-2-one) L1, (4-hydroxy-3-[(2E)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)prop-2-enoyl]-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one) L2, (4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-[(2E)-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-enoyl]-2H-pyran-2-one) L3, and (3-{(2E)-3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]prop-2-enoyl}-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one) L4. L3 and L4 were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Molecules crystallize with four and two molecules in the asymmetric unit, respectively and adopt an E conformation about the Cdbnd C bond. Both structures are stabilized by an extended network O-H … O. Furthermore, N-H … O and C-H … O hydrogen bonds are observed in L3 and L4 structures, respectively. The in situ generated copper (II) complexes of the four compounds L1, L2, L3 and L4 were examined for their catalytic activities and were found to catalyze the oxidation reaction of catechol to o-quinone under atmospheric dioxygen. The rates of this oxidation depend on three parameters: ligand, ion salts and solvent nature and the combination L2[Cu (CH3COO)2] leads to the faster catalytic process.

Is the 'Bromine Explosion' generated from the reaction BrO HO2 alone?

Br[toluene] ~ 100). Formation of aldehydes (R-CHO) interferes with the chain reaction (1) - (3) markedly, since kBr[O3] ≈kBr[R-CHO]. The chain reaction is limited by availability of ozone (degradation of HCs by atomic Cl stops completely with vanishing ozone), of HO2 (HCs are required to form HO2) and of aerosol. The central question is: will sufficient HO2 be formed from degradation of HCs to explain the magnitude of the formed Br2 and BrCl in our experiments? We found that the formation of HO2 should be by a factor of 2-4 larger to explain the formation of Br2 and BrCl. Which other sources for the formation of HOBr besides reaction (2a) are then available? The rate of CH3O2with BrO is 25% of that with HO2 (Enami, S.; Yamanaka, T.; Nakayama, T.; Hashimoto, S.; Kawasaki, M.; Shallcross, D.E.; Nakano, Y.; Ishiwata, T., J. Phys. Chem. A, 11, 3342 - 3348, 2007), suggesting that other RO2 radicals must contribute. In our model calculations we use this rate constant for all RO2 radicals to obtain reasonable agreement between the produced HOBr and the formed BrCl and Br2 necessary for our experimental degradation results. So reaction scheme (1) - (3) should be completed by: BrO + RO2 => HOBr + products (2b) The German Science Foundation (DFG) supported this research in unit 783 (HALOPROC).
