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.

본 연구는 Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-KI) 배양세포에서 S-15분획에 의해 활성화된 bezo(a) pyrene (BP)과 3-methylcholanthrene(MC)에 의해 유발된 DNA단사절단과 DNA복제억제 및 그 회복과정에 미치는 한국산 인삼추출물 saponin의 영향을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. S-15분획으로 활성화된 10-5 M의 BP 또는 MC를 1.0-10ng/ml의 saponin과 함께 처리할 경우 BP와 MC단독처리군에 비해 DNA 단사절단률이 감소하였다. DNA 합성률은 활성화된 10-5M의 BP와 10-6 M의 MC에 의해 각각 50% 및 75% 억제되었으나, 0.1-10ng/ml의 saponin을 동시에 처리할 경우 DNA 합성억제률이 약 10% 이상 둔화되었다.

본 연구는 알킬화제를 처리한 CHO-K1 세포에서 DNA 복제억제와 그 회복과정의 분자론적 기작을 규명할 목적으로 방사선 이중 표지에 의한 DNA 합성율의 측정, 알칼리 자당 농도구배 초원심분리법에 의한 DNA 분자량과 후복제 회복율을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) 1mM methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)와 1nM N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) 이하의 낮은 농도의 처리군에서는 DNA 합성율이 급격히 감소하였으나, 2 mM MMS, 2mM MNNG이상의 농도에서는 그 감소양상이 둔화되었다, (2) DNA 합성율은 알킬화제의 처리 직후 감소하였다가 시간경과에 따라 회복되어 처리후 4시간 째에는 대조군 수준 또는 그 이상으로 회복되었다.

For a continuous expression of human cytochrome p450 3A5 (CYP3A5) and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPR) proteins, bicistronic construct (CYP3A5BC-LNCX2) was made using internal ribosome entry site (IRES). As for mammalian cell expression, we used pLNCX2 retroviral vector; and using calcium phosphate, plasmid transfer was achieved in 293GPG cell and transduced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell.(omitted)

돌연변이 유발 물질인 mitomycin C(MMC)를 처리하여 배양한 Chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cell에 대한 감잎차 추출액의 항돌연변이 효과를 자매 염색 분체 교환(sister chromatid exchange, SCE) 시험법을 사용하여 측정하여 보았다. 감잎차 추출액 자체는 CHO 세포의 SCE 빈도수를 변화시키지 않았으며, 세포의 분열 주기중 S phase에 S9 mixture 없이 감잎차 추출액이 처리되었을 경우 MMC로 유도된 SCE 빈도수를 감소시키지 않았다. 그러나 S9 mixture 존재하에 $G_{1}$ phase에서 MMC 처리 후 감잎차를 처리하는 후처리 방식으로 감잎차 추출액을 처리하였을 때, 저농도($\leq$40$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)에서 MMC로 인해 유발된 SCE 빈도수가 낮아지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이에 비해 고농도(>40$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)에서는 SCE 빈도수의 감소 효과가 없었다. 본 연구결과, MMC 처리된 CHO 세포에 대한 감잎차 추출액의 항돌연변이 효과를 볼 수 있었고, 이 효과는 S9 mixture 존재하에서 저농도의 감잎차 추출액이 $G_{1}$ phase에 처리되었을 때 나타났다. 감잎차 추출액의 이러한 항돌연변이의 효과의 기전은 감잎차 추출액의 대사산물이 MMC 처리된 CHO 세포에 대한 DNA-excision repair activity를 촉진시키기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

This study was performed by the sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) to investigate the effects of Aphidicolin (APC) or 2, 4-dinitrophenoi (DNP) on cross-adaptive response to ultraviolet radiation (UV) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 8 mM EMS in CHO cells. And the treatment with 10 $\mu$g/ml APC or 50 $\mu$M DNP during incubation after pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV increased the yield of SCEs induced by 8 mM EMS. The pretreatment with 2 mM EMS decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 5 J/m$^2$ UV. The treatment with 10 $\mu$g/ml APC during incubation after 2 mM EMS increased the yield of SCEs induced by 5 J/m$^2$ UV. These results suggest that APC and DNP inhibit cross-adaptive response to pretreatment with UV and subsequent treatment with EMS, and also cross-adaptive response to pretreatment with EMS and subsequent treatment with UV is inhibited by APC in CHO cells.

An important modification of thrombolytic agents is resistance to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). In previous studies, a new truncated PAI-1-resistant variant was developed based on deletion of the first three domains in t-PA and the substitution of KHRR 128-131 amino acids with AAAA in the truncated t-PA. The novel variant expressed in a static culture system of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) DG44 cells exhibited a higher resistance to PAI-1 when compared with the full-length commercial drug; Actylase. In the present study, the truncated-mutant protein was expressed in CHO DG44 cells in 50 ml orbital shaking bioreactors. The final yield of the truncated-mutant in the culture was 752 IU/ml, representing a 63% increase compared with the static culture system. Therefore, these results suggest that using the combined features of a transient and stable expression system is feasible for the production of novel recombinant proteins in the quantities needed for preclinical studies.

A recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO), expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, is glycosylated at Asn 24, Asn 38, Asn 83, and Ser 126. After release of the N-linked carbohydrate chains by $peptide-N^{4}-(N-acetyl-{\beta}-glucosaminyl)$ asparagine amidase F, the oligosaccharides were analyzed by FACE (Fluorophore-Assisted Carbohydrate Electrophoresis). The O-linked carbohydrate chain was separated by hydrazine, and analyzed by FACE. The monosacccharide composition of recombinant EPO showed man nose, fucose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylneuraminic acid, and a trace of N-acetylgalactosamine, which are typical monosaccharides in the glycoproteins from the CHO cell. Sequences of N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides were determined. The structure and composition of oligosaccharides attached to recombinant human EPO, expressed in the CHO cell, are identical to the reported oligosaccharide structure in human EPO isolated from urine.

The adaptive response and cross-adaptive response to sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K$_1$ cells treated with ultraviolet radiation (UV), ethyl methanesuffonate (EMS), or bleomycin (BLM) were investigated. Two assays were used in this study; SCEs and alkaline elution. The pretreatment with low conditioning dose of 2 mM EMS or 1 J/m$^2$ UV decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 8 mM EMS, 5 J/m$^2$ UV or 5 $\mu$g/ml BLM. And the pretreatment with low conditioning dose of 1 $\mu$g/ml BLM decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 5 $\mu$g/ml BLM or 5 J/m$^2$ UV. The rejoining of DNA SSBs in cells subsequently treated with 2 J/m$^2$ UV, 50 mM EMS or 400 $\mu$g/ml BLM is higher than that only treated with 2 J/m$^2$ UV, 50 mM EMS or 400 $\mu$g/ml BLM. These results suggest that there are the adaptive response and cross-adaptive response to SCEs, and is the adaptive response to the rejoining of DNA SSBs in CHO cells.

The effect of novobiocin (NOV), and inhibitor of topoisomerase II, on ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-or bleomycin (BLM)-induced DNA repair synthesis was examined during the cell cycle of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells. Three assays were employed in this study: cell survival, alkaline elution and unscheduled DNA synthesis. EMS was effective at killing CHO cells in G1 phase, wheras BLM preferentially killed cells in G2 and S phases. EMS induced the much more amount of DNA damage in G1 phase, while BLM induced in G2 phase than the other phases. The both of pre- and post-treatment with BOV inhibitied EMS- or BLM-induced DNA repair synthesis in G1 and G2 phases, and pretreatment with NOV inhibited more effectively than the post-treated group. These results suggested that CHO cells exhibited a differential sensitivity to cell lethality and DNA damage in relation to cell cycle according to used chemical agents, and that DNA topoisomerase II participated in an initial stage of DNA repair.
