Abstract Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) ovary-derived Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most commonly used mammalian hosts for the industrial production of recombinant therapeutics because of their ability to fold, assemble, and perform post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation, on proteins. They are also valuable for their ability to grow in serum-free suspension cultures. In this study, we established a cell line derived from lung tissue of Chinese hamsters, named Chinese hamster lung (CHL)-YN cells. The biosafety of CHL-YN cells was confirmed by in vitro sterility testing, mycoplasma detection, and reverse transcriptase assays. One of the key characteristics of CHL-YN cells was their doubling time of 8.1 h in chemically defined culture medium; thus, they proliferate much faster than conventional CHO cells and general mammalian cells. Transgenes could be introduced into CHL-YN cells with high efficiency. Finally, between 50% to > 100% of the amount of glycosylated immunoglobulin G (IgG)1 produced by CHO-K1 cells was produced by CHL-YN cells over a shorter period of time. In summary, fast-growing CHL-YN cells are a unique cell line for producing recombinant proteins.

Abstract Beige adipocytes (also known as brite adipocytes) have significant utility for numerous applications, such as drug screening, cell therapy, and disease modelling. However, a high-efficiency protocol from human adult adipose-derived stem/stromal stem cells (ADSC) has not been described. The protocol described here achieves beige adipocyte purities of >92% in a fully-defined, serum-free media cocktail, which enables these downstream applications. This method provides a significant leap forward over previously described, serum-based protocols that were inconsistent and inefficient.

This study analyzes the effects of polyamine starvation on cell cycle traverse of an arginase-deficient CHO cell variant (CHO-A7). These cells grow well in serum-free medium, provided that it contains ornithine or polyamines or both. In the absence of ornithine or polyamines or both, the CHO-A7 cells develop severe polyamine deficiency and, as a consequence, grow more slowly. When grown to a stationary phase in the presence of ornithine or putrescine or both, the CHO-A7 cells became arrested in G0/early G1. However, when starved for ornithine and polyamines, they accumulated in the S and G2 phases. Ornithine and polyamine starvation of CHO-A7 cells causes an increase in ornithine decarboxylase activity. When this increase was prevented by treatment with DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine, an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, growth was further suppressed, and a greater fraction of cells were found in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle.

Abstract Polycythemia rubra vera-1 (PRV-1) is a GPI-linked protein expressed on surface of neutrophils. Polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia were found to be associated with an increase in the level of PRV-1 mRNA; however, the function of PRV-1 remains unknown. We have studied the functional effect of expression of PRV-1, both in heterologous cell line and in neutrophils. cDNA encoding PRV-1 was subcloned from a leukocyte cDNA library and expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). After seeding equal numbers of CHO cells stably transfected with PRV-1 or empty plasmid, cell count was conducted at different time intervals and under different concentration of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in growth media. The numbers of PRV-1 transfected cells were higher than sham-transfected cells at 24, 48, 96 and 144 hrs after seeding, and this difference was enhanced with cells growing in a medium with a reduced concentration of serum with the maximal effect seen in serum-free medium. The percentage of apoptotic cells was similar between PRV-1 and sham-transfected cells. These results are suggestive of that CHO cells expressing PRV-1 proliferate faster than sham-transfected cells. The difference in proliferation rate was more significant at lower concentrations of serum and was the highest in serum-free medium. An immunoblot analysis with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody on the whole cell lysate demonstrated that the presence of PRV-1 alters cell signaling. A 60kDa protein band that disappeared after removal of serum in growth medium of sham-transfected cells continued to be present in the PRV-1 transfected cell lysate regardless of the presence or absence of FBS in the media. In order to understand the function of PRV-1 in neutrophils, we used the fact that in 85% of individuals PRV-1 is expressed only by a subgroup of neutrophils. We separated PRV-1 expressing neutrophils of an individual from those lacking this protein in the same donor, using anti-PRV-1 monoclonal antibody. We then compared the gene expression profile of the two groups of neutrophil using DNA microarray technique. Expression of PRV-1 was associated with several folds increase in expression of growth factors (fracture callus-1, X 14.9 times; Insulin-like 3, X 6.7; neural proliferation differentiation, and control-1 or NPDC1, X 3.4 times) and post-translational modifying enzyme of cell surface protein (N-acetylase N sulfotransferase-1, X 18.9 times). Under physiologic conditions, transcriptional regulation of the PRV-1 gene limits its expression to only a certain percentage of neutrophils. In order to investigate the role of epigenetic factors in regulation of transcription of the PRV-1 gene, we analyzed methylation of CpG dinucleotide in promoter of the PRV-1 gene in the genomic DNA obtained from neutrophils expressing PRV-1 to those that don’t express this protein in the same individual. Expression of PRV-1 was associated with a decrease in methylation of the CpG dinucleotide located 2937 bp before initiation codon (45% methylated in PRV-1 negative neutrophils compared to 30% methylated in PRV positive neutrophils). We are currently studying the methylation pattern of CpG islands inside the PRV-1 gene. Studying the effect of DNA methylation on expression of PRV-1 in physiologic conditions, may shed light to the mechanism of overexpression of PRV-1 in MPD.
