Structure of the chymosin gene of Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) was established for the first time and its exon/intron organization was determined. Coding part of the chymosin gene of C. pygargus was reconstructed by the Golden Gate method and obtained as a DNA clone. Comparative sequence analysis of the roe deer, cow, and one-humped camel prochymosins revealed a number of amino acid substitutions at the sites forming the substrate-binding cavity of the enzyme and affecting the S4 and S1′ + S3′ specificity subsites. Integration vector pIP1 was used to construct a plasmid pIP1-Cap in order to express recombinant roe deer prochymosin gene in CHO-K1 cells. CHO-K1-CYM-Cap pool cells were obtained, allowing synthesis and secretion of recombinant prochymosin into the culture fluid. As a result of zymogen activation, a recombinant roe deer chymosin was obtained and its total milk-clotting activity was estimated to be 468.4 ± 11.1 IMCU/ml. Yield of the recombinant roe deer chymosin was 500 mg/liter or ≈468,000 IMCU/liter, which exceeds the yields of genetically engineered chymosins in most of the expression systems used. Basic biochemical properties of the obtained enzyme were compared with the commercial preparations of recombinant chymosins from one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) and cow (Bos taurus). Specific milk-clotting activity of the recombinant chymosin of C. pygargus was 938 ± 22 IMCU/mg, which was comparable to that of the reference enzymes. Non-specific proteolytic activity of the recombinant roe deer chymosin was 1.4-4.5 times higher than that of the cow and camel enzymes. In terms of coagulation specificity, recombinant chymosin of C. pygargus occupied an intermediate position between the genetically engineered analogs of B. taurus and C. dromedarius chymosins. Thermostability threshold of the recombinant roe deer chymosin was 55°C. At 60°C, the enzyme retained <1% of its initial milk-clotting activity, and its complete thermal inactivation was observed at 65°C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) mainly localizes to lysosomes and late endosomes. We herein investigated the intracellular localization of lysosomal membrane proteins in five mammalian cultured cell lines. Rat LAMP1 fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) mostly accumulated at a particular cytoplasmic area and barely co-localized with LysoTracker® Red DND-99 in golden hamster kidney BHK-21 cells and Chinese hamster ovary CHO-K1 cells. Golden hamster, Chinese hamster, and human LAMP1-EGFP showed a similar intracellular distribution to rat LAMP1-EGFP in BHK-21 cells. Endogenous LAMP1 was also detected in a perinuclear area in BHK-21 cells and CHO-K1 cells, and co-localized with rat CD63-EGFP in BHK-21 cells. Moreover, rat LAMP1-DsRed-Monomer co-localized well with the human trans-Golgi network protein 2-EGFP in BHK-21 cells. These results reveal that LAMP1 predominantly localizes to the trans-Golgi network in BHK-21 cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AMPHOTERICIN B , *CELL anatomy , *CELL membranes , *CELL-mediated cytotoxicity - Abstract
Amphotericin B (AmB) belongs to a group of polyene antibiotics commonly used in the treatment of systemic mycotic infections. A widely accepted mechanism of action of AmB is based on the formation of an oligomeric pore structure within the plasma membrane (PM) by interaction with membrane sterols. Although AmB binds preferentially to ergosterol, it can also bind to cholesterol in the mammalian PM and cause severe cellular toxicity. The lipid content and its lateral organization at the cell PM appear to be significant for AmB binding. Several ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, including ABCA1, play a crucial role in lipid translocation, cholesterol redistribution and efflux. Here, we demonstrate that cells expressing ABCA1 are more resistant to AmB treatment, while cells lacking ABCA1 expression or expressing non-active ABCA1MM mutant display increased sensitivity. Further, a FLIM analysis of AmB-treated cells reveals a fraction of the antibiotic molecules, characterized by relatively high fluorescence lifetimes (> 6 ns), involved in formation of bulk cholesterol–AmB structures at the surface of ABCA1-expressing cells. Finally, lowering the cellular cholesterol content abolishes resistance of ABCA1-expressing cells to AmB. Therefore, we propose that ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux from cells induces formation of bulk cholesterol–AmB structures at the cell surface, preventing AmB cytotoxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Microcarriers provide large adhesion area allowing high cell densities in bioreactor systems. This study focused on the investigation of cell adhesion and cell growth characteristics of both anchorage-dependent CHO-K1 and anchorage-independent Ag8 myeloma cell lines cultivated on four different microcarriers (Biosilon®, Microhex®, Cytodex 3®, Cytoline 2®) by considering the cell kinetics and physiological data. Experiments were performed in both static and agitated cell culture systems by using 24-well tissue culture plates and then 50-ml spinner flasks. In agitated cultures, the highest specific growth rates (0.026 h for CHO-K1 and 0.061 h for Ag8 cell line) were obtained with Cytodex 3® and Cytoline 2® microcarriers for CHO-K1 and Ag8 cell line, respectively. Metabolic characteristics showed some variation among the cultures with the four microcarriers. The most significant being the higher production of lactate with microcarriers with CHO-K1 cells relative to the Ag8 cells. SEM analyses revealed the differences in the morphology of the cells along with microcarriers. On Cytodex 3® and Cytoline 2®, CHO-K1 cells attached to the substratum through long, slender filopodia, whereas the cells showed a flat morphology by covering the substratum on the Biosilon® and Microhex®. Ag8 cells maintained their spherical shapes throughout the culture for all types of microcarriers. In an attempt to scale-up, productions were carried out in 50-ml spinner flasks. Cytodex 3® (for CHO-K1 cells) and Cytoline 2® (for Ag8 cells) were evaluated. The results demonstrate that high yield of biomass could be achieved through the immobilization of the cells in each culture system. And cell cultures on microcarriers, especially on Cytodex 3® and Cytoline 2®, represented a good potential as microcarriers for larger scale cultures of CHO-K1 and Ag8, respectively. Moreover, owing to the fact that the cell lines and culture media are specific, outcomes will be applicable for other clones derived from the same host cell lines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
An efficient mammalian cell system for producing bioproducts should retain high cell viability and efficient use of energy sources rendering the need to understand the effects of various variables on the cell system. In this study, global metabolite (metabolomics) analysis approach was used to try and understand the relationships between types of media used, culture growth behavior and productivity. CHO-KI cells producing IGF-1 were obtained from ATCC and grown in T-flask (37 °C, 5 % CO) until 70-80 % confluent in RPMI 1640 and Ham's F12, respectively. Samples were taken at 8-hourly intervals for routine cell counting, biochemical responses, insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) protein concentration and global metabolite analysis (gas chromatography mass spectrometry, GCMS). Conditioned media from each time point were spun down before injection into GCMS. Data from GCMS were then transferred to SIMCA-P + Version 12 for chemometric evaluation using principal component analysis. The results showed that while routine analysis gave only subtle differences between the media, global metabolite analysis was able to clearly separate the culture based on growth media with growth phases as confounding factor. Different types of media also appeared to affect IGF-1 production. Asparagine was found to be indicative of healthiness of cells and production of high IGF-1. Meanwhile identification of ornithine and lysine in death phase was found to be associated with apoptosis and oversupplied nutrient respectively. Using the biomarkers revealed in the study, several bioprocessing strategies including medium improvement and in-time downstream processing can be potentially implemented to achieve efficient CHO culture system.

- Abstract
Selenoprotein W (SelW) has been found to be ubiquitously expressed in tissues in vivo and was purified more than 18 years ago. However, little in vitro research has been performed on SelW from birds. To detect the mRNA levels of chicken SelW in cultured cell lines, chicken SelW cDNA was cloned into an expression vector. The chicken SelW expression construct was then transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Using RT-PCR and real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR, we detected the expression of the chicken SelW mRNA. Moreover, the selenocysteine-synthase (SecS) and selenophosphate synthetase-1 (SPS-1) mRNA levels were analyzed. The expression of SelW was detected in SelW-transfected cells; no expression was observed in control cells. Significant increases in the SelW mRNA levels were obtained in chicken SelW-transfected cells relative to control cells. SecS mRNA levels were significantly increased in chicken SelW transfected cells. No significant difference in the SPS-1 level was observed. Our findings show that chicken SelW could be studied in vitro and that SecS and SPS-1 may have potential roles in SelW biosynthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Selenoprotein W (SelW) is expressed in various tissues of many animals and acts as an oxidoreductase in mammals. However, little is known about the role of the SelW in birds. To investigate the role of the chicken SelW on HO-induced apoptosis in CHO-K1 cells, overexpression of a chicken SelW cell lines (CHO-K1/SelW) were constructed. Using acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) double staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays, as well as WST-1 cell viability assay, we monitored the extent of the HO-induced apoptosis and detected the abundance of the caspase-3, caspase-8, and fas mRNA by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qPCR). We here found that overexpression of SelW cells, compared with the wild-type cells, resulted in a markedly decrease in sensitivity to HO-induced oxidative stress and had a lower apoptotic cell death in AO/EB and TUNEL assays. Cell viability revealed that overexpression of SelW cells had higher cell viability than wild-type cells. qPCR results found that overexpression of SelW cells had a lower levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, and fas mRNA than wild-type cells. Taken together, our findings suggested that SelW could reduce the oxidative damage induced by HO and had an important protective function in against oxidative damage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Haponin (HLDF-alike protein) was previously identified from the human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line. For the functional study of this protein, we obtained recombinant haponin with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag using a baculovirus expression system. Antibodies against 6xHis-haponin were produced, and the expression of endogenous haponin was demonstrated in mammalian cell lines of different origin. Using affinity chromatography and immunoprecipitation methods, we have shown that in CHO-K1 cells haponin interacts with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which is one of the vital glycolytic enzymes with a diverse set of noncanonical functions.

In this study, we examined agonist-induced internalization, recycling and signalling (measure of cAMP levels) of the cloned human nociceptin receptor (hNOP) expressed in CHO-K1 cells. Internalization was proven by a receptor-binding assay on viable cells. The agonist nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NC) promoted rapid internalization of the hNOP receptor (≈78% of cell surface receptors were lost after 2 min exposure to 1 μM NC) in a clathrin- and ATP-dependent manner. Internalization was more rapid and marked in CHO-K1 cells than, as we previously reported, in SK-N-BE cells. This difference may be related to higher levels of β-arrestin isoforms detected in CHO-K1 than in SK-N-BE cells. hNOP receptor internalization was partially reversible and recycling occurred in the presence of the agonist; receptor recycling was dependent on okadaic acid-sensitive phosphatases and was blocked by monensin. Confocal microscopy analysis confirmed the internalization and the recycling back to the p lasma membrane of an epitope-tagged hNOP receptor expressed in CHO-K1 cells. These receptors underwent rapid desensitization upon agonist challenge: NC efficacy in inhibiting forskolin-stimulated cAMP production was significantly reduced 10 min after exposure and correlated with the rate of receptor internalization. Moreover, we observed that blockade of hNOP receptor recycling by monensin would cause a more prolonged and relevant desensitization of this receptor. Thus, the dynamic cycle between hNOP receptor activation, internalization and recycling determines the activity of this receptor on the cell surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
For the controlled production of recombinant proteinsin mammalian cells by transient transfection, it maybe desirable not only to manipulate, but also todiagnose the expression success early. Here, weapplied laser scanning confocal microscopy to monitortransfection induced intracellular Ca
2+ responses. We compared Chinese hamster ovary (CHO K1)versus human embryo kidney (HEK) 293 cell lines, whichdiffer largely in their transfectability. An improvedcalcium phosphate transfection method was used for itssimplicity and its demonstrated upscale potential.Cytosolic Ca2+ signaling appeared to inverselyreflect the cellular transfection fate. Virtually allCHO cells exhibited asynchronous, cytosolicCa2+ oscillations, which peaked 4 h afteraddition of the transfecting solution. Yet, most ofthe HEK cells displayed a slow and continuousCa2+ increase over the time of transfection. CHOcells, when exposed to a transfection-enhancingglycerol shock, strongly downregulated their Ca2+ response, including its oscillations. When treatedwith thapsigargin, a Ca2+ store depleting drug,the number of successfully transfected CHO cells was significantly reduced. Our result points tointracellular store release as a critical componentfor the transfection fate of CHO cells, and its early detection before product visualization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Apoptosis is a distinct form of programmed cell death that plays an important role in many biological processes.Although the phenotypes of apoptotic cells are well documented, little is known of the central mechanismleading to programmed cell death. Over the past few years, a number of ICE/CED-3 family proteases(also termed caspases) have been discovered and implicated as the common effectors of apoptosis. Inthis report, we demonstrate that induction of apoptosis in CHO-K1 cells by staurosporine, a broad spectruminhibitor of protein kinases, results in an increase in DEVD-dependent protease activity. These events werefollowed by nuclear DNA fragmentation and cell death. Inhibition of the DEVD-cleaving activity by a synthetictetrapeptide inhibitor DEVD-CHO, blocked staurosporine-induced downstream apoptotic phenotypes, suchas morphological characteristics and DNA fragmentation. These results suggest that staurosporine-inducedapoptosis in CHO-K1 cells is mediated through the CPP32/caspase-3-like cysteine proteases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Insulin, FeSO, or transferrin are major requirements together with HEPES buffer and selenium for the growth of CHO-K1 (CCL 61) in a modified F12 medium (M-F12). Insulin stimulates growth at 1 ng/ml to 10 μg/ml. In the defined medium minus insulin, CHO-K1 grows slowly as elongated, elliptical cells in parallel arrays typical of normal diploid fibroblasts in contrast to round-to-cuboid cells in loosely overlapping arrays in the presence of serum or insulin. During prolonged incubation in the absence of insulin the cells gather up into a large spherical cluster of viable cells. Insulin 'independent' mutants have been isolated whose growth rate during exponential phase in the absence of insulin (48 h to 84 or 96 hrs) is 2.7 to 3.6 times that of the parental culture. Insulin stimulates the growth of these variants only during the first 48 h and is inhibitory at 50 to 500 ng/ml during the exponential phase. Insulin induction of the A system of amino acid transport occurs in about 8 h and requires both protein and RNA synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
