AI Article Synopsis

  • This study investigates how different CHO cell lines control the production of recombinant human IgG(4) monoclonal antibodies, revealing a wide variation in production rates.
  • All cell lines produced more light chain mRNA and polypeptide compared to heavy chain due to faster transcription and improved stability, but they varied in translation rates and overall antibody assembly and secretion.
  • Findings suggest that optimizing monoclonal antibody production requires targeted cell engineering based on the specific capabilities of each cell line.

Article Abstract

In this study we compare the cellular control of recombinant human IgG(4) monoclonal antibody (Mab) synthesis in different CHO cell lines. Based on comprehensive empirical analyses of mRNA and polypeptide synthetic intermediates we constructed cell line-specific mathematical models of recombinant Mab manufacture in seven GS-CHO cell lines varying in specific production rate (qMab) over 350-fold. This comparative analysis revealed that control of qMab involved both genetic construct and cell line-specific factors. With respect to the former, all cell lines exhibited excess production of light chain (LC) mRNA and polypeptide relative to heavy chain (HC) mediated by more rapid LC transcription and enhanced LC mRNA stability. Downstream of this, cell lines differed markedly in their relative rates of recombinant mRNA translation, Mab assembly and secretion although HC mRNA abundance and the rate of HC translation generally exerted most control over qMab--the latter being directly proportional to qMab. This study shows that (i) cell lines capable of high qMab exceed a threshold functional competency in all synthetic processes, (ii) the majority of cells in parental and transfected cell populations are functionally limited and (iii) cell engineering strategies to increase Mab production should be cell line specific.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated promise in the treatment of various cancers. Single-drug ICI therapy (immuno-oncology [IO] monotherapy) that targets PD-L1 is the standard of care in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with PD-L1 expression ≥50%. We sought to find out if a machine learning (ML) algorithm can perform better as a predictive biomarker than PD-L1 alone.

The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a critical role in innate immunity and inflammatory diseases. NIMA-related kinase 7 (NEK7) is essential for inflammasome activation, and its interaction with NLRP3 is enhanced by K efflux. However, the mechanism by which K efflux promotes this interaction remains unknown.

Emerging evidence suggests that fusion of cancer cells with leucocytes, such as macrophages, plays a significant role in cancer metastasis and results in tumor hybrid cells that acquire resistance to chemo- and radiation therapy. However, the precise mechanisms behind the leukocyte-cancer cell fusion remain unclear. The present in vitro study explores the presence of fusion between the monocyte cell line (THP-1) and the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) in relation to the expression of CD36 and phosphatidylserine with and without treatment of these cells with ionizing radiation.

Lysosomal pH dysregulation is a critical element of the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). To study the role of lysosomes in pathophysiology, probes to analyze lysosomal size, positioning, and pH are indispensable tools. Here, we developed and characterized a ratiometric genetically encoded lysosomal pH probe, RpH-ILV, targeted to a subpopulation of lysosomal intraluminal vesicles.

Particle elasticity has widely been established to substantially influence immune cell clearance and circulation time of vascular-targeted carriers (VTCs). However, prior studies have primarily investigated interactions with macrophages, monocytic cell lines, and in vivo murine models. Interactions between particles and human neutrophils remain largely unexplored, although they represent a critical aspect of VTC performance.
