Abstract
Engineered materials are ubiquitous throughout society and are critical to the development of modern technology, yet many current material systems are inexorably tied to widespread deterioration of ecological processes. Next-generation material systems can address goals of environmental sustainability by providing alternatives to fossil fuel-based materials and by reducing destructive extraction processes, energy costs, and accumulation of solid waste. However, development of sustainable materials faces several key challenges including investigation, processing, and architecting of new feedstocks that are often relatively mechanically weak, complex, and difficult to characterize or standardize. In this review paper, we outline a framework for examining sustainability in material systems and discuss how recent developments in modeling, machine learning, and other computational tools can aid the discovery of novel sustainable materials. We consider these through the lens of materiomics, an approach that considers material systems holistically by incorporating perspectives of all relevant scales, beginning with first-principles approaches and extending through the macroscale to consider sustainable material design from the bottom-up. We follow with an examination of how computational methods are currently applied to select examples of sustainable material development, with particular emphasis on bioinspired and biobased materials, and conclude with perspectives on opportunities and open challenges.

Effects and mechanisms of animal-free hydrolysates on recombination protein yields in CHO cells. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:7387-7396. [PMID: 36229612 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-12229-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the commonly used cell lines for producing recombinant therapeutic proteins (RTPs) because they possess post-translational modifications similar to human cells. Culture media are necessary for cell growth, and their quality affects the yields and quality of RTPs. Due to safety concerns for the complex purification of RTPs, the development of serum-free media (SFM) is necessary for CHO cells. To meet the need for CHO cells with higher cell density and RTP productivity with consistent product quality in large-scale suspension cultures, the optimization of SFM through adding some enzymatic animal-free hydrolysates (AFHs) is preferred. The AFHs can improve cell culture performance and product yield of RTPs without affecting their quality. Here, the effect and mechanism of various AFHs in improving CHO cell culture performance and protein expression are reviewed. KEY POINTS: • AFHs that improve the recombinant protein yield of CHO cells are reviewed. • AFHs improve recombinant protein yield via influencing cell performance. • The AFHs do not affect the quality of recombinant protein in CHO cells. • AFHs can provide nutrients, block cell cycle, and reduce oxidative stress.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells serve as protein therapeutics workhorses, so it is useful to understand what intrinsic properties make certain host cell lines and clones preferable for scale up and production of target proteins. In this study, two CHO host cell lines (H1, H2), and their respective clones were evaluated using comparative TMT‐proteomics. The clones obtained from host H1 showed increased productivity (6.8 times higher) in comparison to clones from host H2. Based on fold‐change analyses, we observed differential regulation in pathways including cell adhesion, aggregation, and cellular metabolism among others. In particular, the cellular adhesion pathway was downregulated in H1, in which podoplanin, an antiadhesion molecule, was upregulated the most in host H1 and associated clones. Phenotypically, these cells were less likely to aggregate and adhere to surfaces. In addition, enzymes involved in cellular metabolism such as isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and mitochondrial‐d‐lactate dehydrogenase (
d‐LDHm) were also found to be differentially regulated. IDH plays a key role in TCA cycle and isocitrate‐alpha‐ketoglutarate cycle while
d‐LDHm aids in the elimination of toxic metabolite methylglyoxal, involved in protein degradation. These findings will enhance our efforts towards understanding why certain CHO cell lines exhibit enhanced performance and perhaps provide future cell engineering targets.

TetR-Type Regulator Lp_2642 Positively Regulates Plantaricin EF Production Based on Genome-Wide Transcriptome Sequencing of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 163.

Abstract
Whole-genome and transcriptome sequences of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 163 are provided. There was one circular chromosome and four circular plasmids, with sizes of 3,131,367; 56,674; 49,140; 43,628; and 36,387 bp, respectively, in L. plantarum 163. The regulator Lp_2642 was selected from the genome data, the overexpression of which increased the transcriptional levels of related genes in plantaricin EF biosynthesis and enhanced plantaricin EF production. Its production was 17.30 mg/L in 163 (Lp_2642), which was 1.29-fold higher than that of the original strain. The regulation mechanism demonstrated that Lp_2642 can bind to three sites of plnA promoter, which enhances its transcription and expression, thereby increasing plantaricin EF production. Amino acids Asn-100, Asn-64, and Thr-69 may play a key role in the binding of Lp_2642. These results provide a novel strategy for mass production of plantaricin EF, which facilitates its large-scale production and application in the agriculture and food industries as a preservative.

Abstract
The use of antioxidants in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultures to improve monoclonal antibody production has been a topic of great interest. Nevertheless, the antioxidants do not have consistent benefits of production improvement, which might be cell line specific and/or process specific. In this work, we investigated how treatment with the antioxidant rosmarinic acid (RA) improved cell growth and titer in CHO cell cultures using transcriptomics. In particular, transcriptomics analysis indicated that RA treatment modified gene expression and strongly affected the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, which regulate cell survival and cell death. Moreover, it was observed that these signaling pathways, which had been identified to be up-regulated on day 2 and day 6 by RA, were also up-regulated over time (from initial growth phase day 2 to slow growth or protein production phase day 6) in both conditions. In summary, this transcriptomics analysis provides insights into the role of the antioxidant RA in industrial cell culture processes. The current study also represents an example in the industry of how omics can be applied to gain an in-depth understanding of CHO cell biology and to identify critical pathways that can contribute to cell culture process improvement and cell line engineering.
