Previously we developed a CHO cell line (CHO-OTC1-A19) expressing the first two enzymes of urea cycle. This cell line showed higher ammonia removal activity and faster growth rate than the vector controlled CHO cells (CHO-neo-5). The purpose of this study was to develop a cell line with higher ammonia removal activity than the cell line developed previously. To accomplish this, we constructed stable CHO cell lines expressing the first three, the first four, or all five enzymes of urea cycle by the stable transfection method. We finally selected CHO-AL-19 cell line expressing the first three, the first four enzymes of the cycle with higher ammonia activity than CHO-OTC1-A19 and CHO-n대-5 cell lines: 40% and 15% higher than those of CHO-neo-5 and CHO-OTC1-A19 cell lines 72 hour after culture started, respectively. It also showed 44% and 10% higher cell viability than CHO-neo-5 and CHO- OTC1-A19 cell lines at higher cell density. In addition, CHO-AL-19 cells showed 45%-60% and about 20% lower ammonia concentration per cell than those of CHO-neo-% and CHO-OTC1-A19 cell lines, respectively. These results indicate that CHO-AL-19 could be used in the production of human therapeutic proteins with higher efficiency.

Previously, we developed a CHO cell line (CHO-OTC1-Al9) that expresses the first two enzymes in the urea cycle and exhibits a higher ammonia-removing ability and faster growth rate than a vector-controlled CHO cell line (CHO-neo-5). The current study was undertaken to develop a cell line with an ammonia-removing ability higher than the cell line developed previously. To accomplish this, CHO cell lines expressing the first three, first four, or all five enzymes of the urea cycle were constructed using a stable transfection method. Finally, the CHO-AS-16, CHO-AL-19, and CHO-Arg-11 cell lines expressing the first three, first four, and all five enzymes of the urea cycle, respectively, were selected and found to exhibit higher ammonia-removing ability than the CHO-OTC1-Al9 cell line. Among the three selected cell lines, CHO-AL-19 showed the highest ammonia-removing ability and highest cell viability at a higher cell density, with 40% and 15% lower ammonia concentration in the, culture media than that of CHO-neo-5 and CHO-OTC1-A19 cell lines, respectively. CHO-AL-19 also showed 44% and 10% higher cell viability than the CHO-neo-5 and CHO-OTC-Al9 cell lines, at a higher cell density, respectively. The ammonia concentrations in the culture media were expressed as the ammonia concentration/cell, and the CHO-AL-19 cells revealed 45-60% and 20% lower ammonia concentration/cell than the CHO-neo-5 and CHO-OTC1-Al9 cells, respectively.

Development of stable rCHO cell lines is still time consuming and labor intensive, although it is a critical step in the commercial development of recombinant antibodies. The current work demonstrates, for the first time, that electroporation of CHO cells with DMSO can enhance stable expression of recombinant antibodies in rCHO cells. Electroporation with DMSO resulted in an average 3.7-fold and 2.8-fold increases in expression levels of aflibercept and pembrolizumab, respectively, in pools of stable rCHO cells. It also resulted in an average of 2.2-fold and 2.6-fold increases in the expression of aflibercept and pembrolizumab, respectively, in single-cell derived rCHO clones. Simple batch cultures of rCHO cell clones with the highest expression produced 1.0 g/l for aflibercept and 1.4 g/l for pembrolizumab without a time-consuming gene amplification process. Electroporation with DMSO also shortened the development of rCHO cell lines to 2-3 months, allowing rapid establishment of stable rCHO cell lines with a desirable expression level antibodies.

Mammalian cell cultures have been used extensively to produce proteins for therapeutic agent because of their ability to perform post-translational modification including glycosylation. To produce recombinant protein, many factors and parameter are considered such as media composition, host cell type, and culture process. In this study, recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) producing cell line was established by using glutamine synthetase system. To reduce serum concentration in media, we compared direct adaptation with step adaptation. Cell growth was faster in step adaptation. In low-level serum media, there were insufficient glucose for cell growth. Thus, we added glucose in low-level serum media from 2 g/L to 4.5 g/L. Titer of rhEPO was higher than other conditions at 4.5 g/L of glucose. Additionally, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), 13-cis-retinal, and pluronic F-68 (PF-68) were added to enhance productivity in CHO cell cultures. In conclusion, we applied CHO cell producing rhEPO to low-level of serum in media using step-adaptation. Also, we confirmed positive effect of NMDA, 13-cis-retinal, and PF-68.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been widely used for production of various recombinant proteins such as cytokines and monoclonal antibodies. The cell aggregation and cell death in CHO cell culture directly affect cell viability, and productivity and quality of products. In this study, we investigated preventing effects of storage-protein 2 (SP2) derived from silkworm hemolymph on cell aggregation and cell death in CHO cell culture producing albuminerythropoietin (Alb-EPO). The viable cell density in the culture supplemented with 2 mg/mL SP2 was 1.71-fold higher than that in control culture. Increased titer of Alb-EPO was also found in the culture with SP2. Morphology of CHO cells in SP2 supplemented cultures did not differ from that of control. In addition, the cell aggregation rate of the SP2 cultures was reduced 20% compared to the control. Finally, we confirmed that the apoptosis was strongly suppressed by addition of SP2 in the cultures. These results clearly demonstrate that SP2 can be served as an effective supplement for enhancing titer of Alb-EPO via reducing cell aggregation and cell death.

Chinese Hamster Ovary( CHO) cells were cultured on the surface-modified polymers described in the previous study( "Polymer Surfaces for Cell Adhesion. 1. Surface Modification of Polymers and ESCA Analysis, " J. of KOSOMBE, Vol. 10, No. 1, 43-51, 1989). Among the physicochemical treatment methods. the chloric acid treatment was found to be the best method of rendering the polymer surfaces adhesive for CHO cells probably due to the high density of hydroxyl groups on the surface. Among the biological methods, the fibronectin treatment was best for CHO cell-compatibility probably due to specific active sites existed on the tell-binding domains of the fibronectin structure. When we compare the cell-compatibility of the chloric acid - and the fibronectin -treated PET surfaces, the number of cells attached on the surfaces were increased by 460.5 % and 559.0 % and, respectively, after 32 hr CHO cell culture, compared to that of untreated PET.eated PET.

CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells were transfected with plasmids containing both cis-acting HRE (hypoxia response element) and CMV-promoter that controls tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). CHO cells with HRE produced 16.2 fold higher t-PA concentration than CHO cells without HRE. It was noted that hypoxia strongly induced CHO cell apoptosis. which resulted in decrease of cell viability and protein production. In this study. by introducing Bcl-2, anti-apoptotic gene, we tried to recover cell viability and increase the protein production. When batch culture of both control cells without transfection of Bcl-2 and cells transfected with Bcl-2 were performed in the absence of CoCl ι hypoxia mimic condition. the cells with Bcl-2 were effected specific cell growth rates, maximum cell density. Immunoblotting assay showed Bcl-2 was recombinant with HRE dependent t- P A expression cassette, and their expression level was depended on hypoxia. By introducing Bcl-2, both cell viability and maximum cell density could be increased.

When 3 recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cell lines, CHO/dhfr-B-22-4, $CS13-1.00^{\ast}$ and $CSl3-0.02^{\ast}$, were cultivated in hyperosmolar media resulting from NaCl addition, their specific foreign protein productivity increased with medium osmolality. Glycine betaine was found to have a strong osmoprotective effect on all 3 rCHO cell lines. Inclusion of 15 mM glycine betaine in hyperosmolar medim enabled rCHO cell lines to grow at 557-573 mOsm/kg where they could not grow in the absence of glycine betaine. However, effect of glycine betaine inclusion in hyperomolar medium on foreign protein production differed among rCHO cell lines. CHO/dhfr-B22-4 cells retained enhanced specific human thrombopoietin (hTPO) productivity in the presence of glycine betaine, and thereby, the maximum hTPO titer obtained at 573 mOsm/kg was increased by 72% over that obtained in the control culture with physiological osmolality (292 mOsm/kg). On the other hand, enhanced specific antibody productivity of $CSl3-1.00^{\ast}$ and $CSl3-0.02^{\ast}$ at elevated osmolality decreased significantly in the presence of glycine betaine at a cost of the recovery of cell growth. As a result, the maximum antibody titer at 557 mOsm/kg was similar to that obtained in the control culture with physiological osmolality. Taken together, efficacy of the simultanous use of hyperosmotic pressure and glycine betaine as a means to improve foreign protein production was variable among different rCHO cell lines.
