Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been used as host cells in the production of a range of recombinant therapeutic proteins, including monoclonal antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins. Host cell proteins (HCP) represent impurities that must be removed from therapeutic formulations because of their potential risks for immunogenicity. While the majority of HCP impurities are effectively removed in typical downstream purification processes, clearance of a small population of HCP remains challenging. In this study, we knocked out the Anxa2 and Ctsd genes to assess the feasibility of knockout approaches for diminishing the risk of contamination with HCP. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, Anxa2-, and Ctsd-knockout CHO cell lines were successfully established, and we confirmed the complete elimination of the corresponding HCP in cell lysates. Importantly, all knockout cell lines showed similar growth and viability to those of the wild-type control during 8 days of cultivation. Thus, knockout of unrequired genes can reduce contamination with HCP in the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins.

Department of Internal Medicine, Kuma Hospital, Kobe, Hyogo, 650-0011, Japan.
Purpose: Parathyroid lipoadenomas are difficult to recognize preoperatively; hence, they may remain undetected. Difficulty in recognition is thought to be due to the adipocytes present in the tumor. This study aimed to clarify the impact of adipocytes as a component of parathyroid adenomas on ultrasound evaluation.

Cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions play multiple roles in developmental, physiological, and pathological processes. ECM stiffness substantially affects cellular morphology, migration, and function. In this study, we investigated the effect of ECM comprising gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) on the activation of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells, a model mast cell line.

In clinical mastitis of dairy cows, the abnormal accumulation of apoptotic cells (ACs) and subsequent secondary necrosis and inflammation pose significant concerns, with macrophage-mediated efferocytosis, crucial for ACs clearance, remaining unexplored in this context. In nonruminants, MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase (MERTK) receptors are essential for efferocytosis and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is thought to play a role in regulating MERTK integrity. This study aimed to delineate the in situ role of efferocytosis in clinical mastitis, with a particular focus on the interaction between MERTK and ADAM17 in bovine macrophages.
