Belliveau J, Papoutsakis ET. The microRNomes of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and their extracellular vesicles, and how they respond to osmotic and ammonia stress. Biotechnol Bioeng 2023; 120:2700-2716. [PMID: 36788116 DOI: 10.1002/bit.28356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
A new area of focus in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) biotechnology is the role of small (exosomes) and large (microvesicles or microparticles) extracellular vesicles (EVs). CHO cells in culture exchange large quantities of proteins and RNA through these EVs, yet the content and role of these EVs remain elusive. MicroRNAs (miRs or miRNA) are central to adaptive responses to stress and more broadly to changes in culture conditions. Given that EVs are highly enriched in miRs, and that EVs release large quantities of miRs both in vivo and in vitro, EVs and their miR content likely play an important role in adaptive responses. Here we report the miRNA landscape of CHO cells and their EVs under normal culture conditions and under ammonia and osmotic stress. We show that both cells and EVs are highly enriched in five miRs (among over 600 miRs) that make up about half of their total miR content, and that these highly enriched miRs differ significantly between normal and stress culture conditions. Notable is the high enrichment in miR-92a and miR-23a under normal culture conditions, in contrast to the high enrichment in let-7 family miRs (let-7c, let-7b, and let-7a) under both stress conditions. The latter suggests a preserved stress-responsive function of the let-7 miR family, one of the most highly preserved miR families across species, where among other functions, let-7 miRs regulate core oncogenes, which, depending on the biological context, may tip the balance between cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. While the expected-based on their profound enrichment-important role of these highly enriched miRs remains to be dissected, our data and analysis constitute an important resource for exploring the role of miRs in cell adaptation as well as for synthetic applications.

Abstract
The incorporation of the non-human N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) in therapeutic recombinant proteins raises clinical concerns due to its immunogenic potential and the high prevalence of pre-existing anti-Neu5Gc antibodies in humans. The scientific literature is ambiguous regarding the actual impact of Neu5Gc-containing biotherapeutics as no severe adverse clinical manifestations were unequivocally attributed to Neu5Gc for currently marketed biotherapeutics. This review discusses structural and functional considerations of Neu5Gc-containing glycans regarding the potential impact on drug clearance, their recognition by pre-existing antibodies, and recent hypotheses regarding the tolerance to low Neu5Gc levels. Furthermore, it provides recommendations regarding the standardization of analysis and reporting, analytical aspects relevant for assessing risks associated with Neu5Gc-containing biotherapeutics, and approaches to minimize Neu5Gc incorporation in recombinant protein manufacturing.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are one of the most commonly used host cell lines used for the production human therapeutic proteins. Much research over the past two decades has focussed on improving the growth, titre and cell specific productivity of CHO cells and in turn lowering the costs associated with production of recombinant proteins. CHO cell engineering has become of particular interest in recent years following the publication of the CHO cell genome and the availability of data relating to the proteome, transcriptome and metabolome of CHO cells. However, data relating to the cellular post-translational modification (PTMs) which can affect the functionality of CHO cellular proteins has only begun to be presented in recent years. PTMs are important to many cellular processes and can further alter proteins by increasing the complexity of proteins and their interactions. In this review, we describe the research presented from CHO cells to date related on three of the most important PTMs; glycosylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination.

Understanding the effect of increased cell specific productivity on galactosylation of monoclonal antibodies produced using Chinese hamster ovary cells. J Biotechnol 2021; 329:92-103. [PMID: 33549674 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2021.01.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Achieving optimal productivity and desired product quality of the therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) is one of the primary goals of process development. Across the various mAb programs at our company, we observed that increasing the specific productivity (qp) results in a decrease in the % galactosylation (%Gal) level on the protein. In order to gain further insight into this correlation, cells were cultured under different process conditions such as pH or media osmolality or in the presence of supplements such as sodium butyrate. A range of qp and N-glycan profiles were obtained with the greatest changes observed under high pH (lower qp, higher %Gal), higher osmolality (higher qp, lower %Gal) or sodium butyrate (moderately higher qp, moderately lower %Gal) conditions. Abundance of individual glycan species highlighted different bottlenecks in the N-glycosylation pathway depending on the treatment condition. Transcriptomics analysis was performed to identify changes in gene expression profiles that correlate with the inverse relationship between qp and %Gal. Results showed downregulation of Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 (B4GalT1), UDP-GlcNAc and Mn2+ transporter (slc35a3 and slc39a8 respectively) for the high osmolality conditions. Significant downregulation of slc39a8 (Mn2+ transporter) was observed for the sodium butyrate condition. No significant differences were observed for any of the genes in the N-glycosylation pathway under the high pH condition even though this condition showed highest %Gal. Together, data suggests that different treatments have distinct complex mechanisms by which the overall glycan levels of a mAb are influenced. Further studies based on these results will help build the knowledge necessary to design strategies to obtain the desired productivity and product quality of mAbs.

Abstract
The emerging field of biotherapeutics provides successful treatments for various diseases, yet immunogenicity and limited efficacy remain major concerns for many products. Glycosylation is a key factor determining the pharmacological properties of biotherapeutics, including their stability, solubility, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity. Hence, an increased attention is directed at optimizing the glycosylation properties of biotherapeutics. Currently, most biotherapeutics are produced in non-human mammalian cells in light of their ability to produce human-like glycosylation. However, most mammals produce the sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), while humans cannot due to a specific genetic defect. Humans consume Neu5Gc in their diet from mammalian derived foods (red meat and dairy) and produce polyclonal antibodies against diverse Neu5Gc-glycans. Moreover, Neu5Gc can metabolically incorporate into human cells and become presented on surface or secreted glycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids. Several studies in mice suggested that the combination of Neu5Gc-containing epitopes and anti-Neu5Gc antibodies could contribute to exacerbation of chronic inflammation-mediated diseases (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmunity). This could potentially become complicated with exposure to Neu5Gc-containing biotherapeutics, bio-devices or xenografts. Indeed, Neu5Gc can be found on various approved and marketed biotherapeutics. Here, we provide a perspective review on the possible consequences of Neu5Gc glycosylation of therapeutic protein drugs due to the limited published evidence of Neu5Gc glycosylation on marketed biotherapeutics and studies on their putative effects on immunogenicity, drug efficacy, and safety.

Abstract
Cell culture-based production processes enable the development and commercial supply of recombinant protein products. Such processes consist of the following elements: thaw and initiation of culture, seed expansion, and production culture. A robust cell source storage system in the form of a cell bank is developed and cells are thawed to initiate the cell culture process. Seed culture expansion generates sufficient cell mass to initiate the production culture. The production culture provides an environment where the cells can synthesize the product and is optimized to deliver the highest possible product concentration with acceptable product quality. This chapter describes the significant innovations made in these process elements and the resulting improvements in the overall efficiency, robustness, and safety of the processes and products.

Abstract
N-linked glycosylation affects the potency, safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetic clearance of several therapeutic proteins including monoclonal antibodies. A robust control strategy is needed to dial in appropriate glycosylation profile during the course of cell culture processes accurately. However, N-glycosylation dynamics remains insufficiently understood owing to the lack of integrative analyses of factors that influence the dynamics, including sugar nucleotide donors, glycosyltransferases, and glycosidases. Here, an integrative approach involving multi-dimensional omics analyses was employed to dissect the temporal dynamics of glycoforms produced during fed-batch cultures of CHO cells. Several pathways including glycolysis, tricarboxylic citric acid cycle, and nucleotide biosynthesis exhibited temporal dynamics over the cell culture period. The steps involving galactose and sialic acid addition were determined as temporal bottlenecks. Our results show that galactose, and not manganese, is able to mitigate the temporal bottleneck, despite both being known effectors of galactosylation. Furthermore, sialylation is limited by the galactosylated precursors and autoregulation of cytidine monophosphate-sialic acid biosynthesis. Major glycosylated species exhibit temporal dynamics during fed-batch processes Key metabolic pathways linked to N-glycosylation exhibit significant temporal dynamics Dynamics in nucleotide sugar donors (NSDs) directly influences glycoform heterogeneity Glycoform heterogeneity can be mitigated by supplementing NSD biosynthetic precursors

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells comprise a variety of lineages including CHO-DXB11, CHO-K1, CHO-DG44, and CHO-S. Despite all CHO cell lines sharing a common ancestor, extensive mutagenesis, and clonal selection has resulted in substantial genetic heterogeneity among them. Data from sequencing show that different genes are missing in individual CHO cell lines and each cell line harbors a unique set of mutations with relevance to the bioprocess. However, not much literature is available about the influence of genetic differences of CHO on the performance of bioprocess operations. In this study, the host cell-specific differences among three widely used CHO cell lines (CHO-K1, CHO-S, and CHO-DG44) and recombinantly expressed the same monoclonal antibody (mAb) in an isogenic format by using bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) as transfer vector in all cell lines is examined. Cell-specific growth and product formation are studied in batch, fed-batch, and semi-continuous perfusion cultures. Further, two different cell culture media are used to investigate their effects. The authors find CHO cell line-specific preferences for mAb production or biomass synthesis that are determined by the host cell line. Additionally, quality attributes of the expressed mAb are influenced by the host cell line and media.

Abstract
Microarray-based comparative transcriptomics analysis is a powerful tool to understand therapeutic protein producing mammalian cell lines at the gene expression level. However, an integrated analysis workflow specifically designed for end-to-end analysis of microarray data for CHO cells, the most prevalent host for commercial recombinant protein production, is lacking. To address this gap, an automated data analysis workflow in R that leverages public domain analysis modules is developed to analyze microarray based gene expression data. In addition to testing the global transcriptome differences of CHO cells at different conditions, the workflow identifies differentially expressed genes and pathways with intuitive visualizations as the outputs. The utility of this automated workflow is demonstrated by comparing the transcriptomic profiles of recombinant protein expressing CHO cells with and without a temperature shift. Statistically significant differential expression at the gene, pathway, and global transcriptome levels are identified and visualized. An automated workflow like the one developed in this study will enable rapid translation of CHO culture microarray data into biologically relevant information for mechanism-driven cell line optimization and bioprocess development.

Ribosome profiling-guided depletion of an mRNA increases cell growth rate and protein secretion. Sci Rep 2017; 7:40388. [PMID: 28091612 PMCID: PMC5238448 DOI: 10.1038/srep40388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2016] [Accepted: 12/05/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Recombinant protein production coopts the host cell machinery to provide high protein yields of industrial enzymes or biotherapeutics. However, since protein translation is energetically expensive and tightly controlled, it is unclear if highly expressed recombinant genes are translated as efficiently as host genes. Furthermore, it is unclear how the high expression impacts global translation. Here, we present the first genome-wide view of protein translation in an IgG-producing CHO cell line, measured with ribosome profiling. Through this we found that our recombinant mRNAs were translated as efficiently as the host cell transcriptome, and sequestered up to 15% of the total ribosome occupancy. During cell culture, changes in recombinant mRNA translation were consistent with changes in transcription, demonstrating that transcript levels influence specific productivity. Using this information, we identified the unnecessary resistance marker NeoR to be a highly transcribed and translated gene. Through siRNA knock-down of NeoR, we improved the production- and growth capacity of the host cell. Thus, ribosomal profiling provides valuable insights into translation in CHO cells and can guide efforts to enhance protein production.

Abstract
Increased understanding of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell physiology has been ushered in upon availability of the parental CHO-K1 cell line genome. Free and openly accessible sequence information has complemented transcriptomic and proteomic studies. The previous decade has also seen an increase in sensitivity and accuracy of proteomic methods due to technology development. In this genomic era, high-throughput screening methods, sophisticated informatic tools, and models continually drive major innovations in cell line development and process engineering. This review describes the various achievements in 'omics techniques and their application to improve recombinant protein expression from CHO cell lines.

Curr Opin Struct Biol 2016; 40:104-111.

Abstract
Diverse glycans on proteins impact cell and organism physiology, along with drug activity. Since many protein-based biotherapeutics are glycosylated and these glycans have biological activity, there is a desire to engineer glycosylation for recombinant protein-based biotherapeutics. Engineered glycosylation can impact the recombinant protein efficacy and also influence many cell pathways by first changing glycan-protein interactions and consequently modulating disease physiologies. However, its complexity is enormous. Recent advances in glycoengineering now make it easier to modulate protein-glycan interactions. Here, we discuss how engineered glycans contribute to therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in the treatment of cancers, how these glycoengineered therapeutic mAbs affect the transformed phenotypes and downstream cell pathways. Furthermore, we suggest how systems biology can help in the next generation mAb glycoengineering process by aiding in data analysis and guiding engineering efforts to tailor mAb glycan and ultimately drug efficacy, safety and affordability.
