- the present invention relates to methods of culturing cells capable of producing desired proteins to obtain the desired proteins and to methods of producing proteins by a serum-free culture method, characterized in that serine in a liquid culture is maintained at a high concentration.
- the present invention further relates to cell culture fed-batch media for use in the methods.
- the culture medium had to be supplemented in the range of 5-20% with an extract derived from a mammal, specifically a serum such as fetal calf serum, for the growth of the animal cell, in addition to basic nutrients such as salts, sugars, amino acids, and vitamins.
- an extract derived from a mammal specifically a serum such as fetal calf serum
- the sera derived from mammals entailed disadvantages that such mammal-derived sera account for 75-95% of the cost of media, and that stable growth cannot be achieved due to variation in quality among lots.

- Culturing cells by the method of the present invention enables high-yield production of proteins that are bio-product from the cells, and the proteins are isolated from the culture medium and purified to obtain desired proteins.
- Culturing cells while maintaining the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration can be achieved either by addition of a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) to the medium at an early stage of the cell culture, or by addition of a medium comprising a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) during the culture to supplement the medium with amino acids.
- a preferred timing of commencing supplementing the culture solution with amino acids to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution is at least within 3 days from a time when the amino acids in the culture solution reach a predetermined concentration or lower, preferably within 1 day, most preferably before the amino acids reach a predetermined concentration or lower. Supplementation of amino acids may be carried out once only, in butches sequentially, or continuously. Alternatively, the initial medium may contain a total amount of amino acids required for maintaining the amino acids at predetermined concentrations.
- cell culture methods are classified into batch culture, continuous culture, and fed-batch culture.
- any of these culture methods can be used, but fed-batch culture or continuous culture is preferably used; use of fed-batch culture is especially preferred.
- Batch culture is a culture method in which a small amount of seed culture solution is added to a medium and cells are grown without any addition of a new medium or discharge of the culture solution during the culture.
- the medium comprises a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) from an initial stage of the cell culture.
- Continuous culture is a culture method in which a medium is added and discharged continuously during the culture. This continuous method includes perfusion culture.
- Fed-batch culture is also called semi-batch culture because it is between batch culture and continuous culture.
- a medium is fed continuously or sequentially during cultivation, but unlike the continuous culture, discharge of the culture solution is not carried out in the culture.
- the medium to be added in the fed-batch culture does not necessarily have to be the same medium as that already used in the culture (hereinafter “initial medium”); namely, a different medium may be added, or only specific components may be added.
- the term “initial medium” generally refers to a medium used in an early stage of cell culture. Note that in the case in which the fed-batch medium is added in multiple batches, each medium before the addition of the fed-batch medium may be referred to as an initial medium.
- the medium that is to be added during the culture may contain a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine), or a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) may be contained in the culture medium from an initial stage of the cell culture. What is important is to maintain the concentration of serine, or respective concentrations of serine and tyrosine, or respective concentrations of serine and cysteine, or respective concentrations of serine, tyrosine, and cysteine, at a predetermined concentration or higher at least during a predetermined stage of the culture, as described above.
- the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution may be monitored to adjust the concentrations of these amino acids in the medium to be added so that the concentrations of these amino acids in the culture solution can be controlled.
- a method in which, for instance, a stage of a cell growth curve is determined on the basis of the number of cells in the culture to control the supplementation of the amino acids can be employed.
- serine alone, derivatives thereof, and salts thereof can be used.
- Natural serine, synthetic serine, or serine produced by gene recombination can be used.
- the concentration of serine in the culture solution is, for example, 1 mM or higher, preferably 2 mM or higher at least during a predetermined period in the culture.
- a conventionally used medium comprising serine typically comprises about 0.5 mM of serine; thus it is recognized that the concentration of serine in the present invention is significantly high (Dulbecco, R., Freeman, G. Virology 8, p396 (1959), Nature, New Biology (1971) 230, p52)).
- any of tyrosine alone, derivatives thereof, and salts thereof can be used. Natural tyrosine, synthetic tyrosine, or tyrosine produced by gene recombination can be used. Similarly, any of cysteine alone, derivatives thereof, and salts thereof can be used, including cystine, which is a dimmer of cysteine. Natural cysteine, synthetic cysteine, or cysteine produced by gene recombination can be used.

Description
- This application is a Divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/297,086, filed Mar. 8, 2019, which is a Divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/451,003 filed Oct. 22, 2009 which is a U.S. National Stage application of PCT/JP2008/058046, filed on Apr. 25, 2008, which claims priority from Japanese Patent application No. 2007-117426, filed on Apr. 26, 2007, the entire disclosures of all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The instant application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted in XML format via Patent Center and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Said XML copy, created on Apr. 18, 2023, is named SequenceListing.xml and is 5,470 bytes.
- The present invention relates to methods of culturing cells capable of producing desired proteins to obtain the proteins, and media for use in the methods. In particular, the present invention relates to methods of culturing cells capable of producing desired proteins to obtain the desired proteins and to methods of producing proteins by a serum-free culture method, characterized in that serine in a liquid culture is maintained at a high concentration. The present invention further relates to cell culture fed-batch media for use in the methods.
- When a natural protein produced by an animal cell was to be obtained by culturing the animal cell, or when a desired protein or the like was to be prepared by culturing an animal cell transformed with a gene encoding the desired protein, the culture medium had to be supplemented in the range of 5-20% with an extract derived from a mammal, specifically a serum such as fetal calf serum, for the growth of the animal cell, in addition to basic nutrients such as salts, sugars, amino acids, and vitamins. The sera derived from mammals, however, entailed disadvantages that such mammal-derived sera account for 75-95% of the cost of media, and that stable growth cannot be achieved due to variation in quality among lots. Furthermore, since sera derived from mammals cannot be sterilized by an autoclave or the like, there is a possibility of contamination with viruses or mycoplasmas; although many of them are harmless, they may become additional unknown factors from the viewpoint of stable production.
- In recent years, there has been great concern that components derived from mammals may be associated with mad cow disease, or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE), and, furthermore, Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease (CJD), and in view of safety, an animal cell culture medium free from mammalian components has been sought. Further, a serum contains at least 500 types of proteins, and this complicates isolation/purification of a desired protein as a bio-product from a cell culture medium.
- To solve the above problems, serum-free culture methods suitable for culturing animal cells in the absence of a serum have been developed. In the development of serum-free culture methods, serum-free liquid media containing, as substitutes for the effect of sera, plasma proteins such as fetuin, transferrin, and albumin, hormones such as steroid hormone and insulin, growth factors, and nutrient factors such as amino acids and vitamins have been provided.
- Fetuin, insulin, transferrin, and growth factors for use in serum-free culture methods are purified proteins derived from sera or recombinant proteins derived from recombinant organisms. Use thereof has the following disadvantages: though small in amount, biological components are contained; use of an expensive product is required; culture varies among lots; and the like.
- In recent years, serum-free culture methods using protein hydrolysates have been developed. Such culture methods have similar disadvantages as stated above: a component derived from an organism is contained; costs are high; production varies among different lots; and the like. Thus it is difficult to say that such serum-free culture methods are most adequate for the production of useful proteins.
- In view of the foregoing, there have been demands for a culture method using a chemically defined medium that contains as few biological components as possible, is inexpensive, causes small variation among lots, and can result in a boost in protein production. Recently, behavior of glucose and amino acids in a culture solution in fed-batch culture was analyzed, and this analysis revealed that use of an increased amount of glutamate in fed-batch culture contributed to increase in an amount of antithrombin that was produced (Non-patent Document 1). However, this finding is only based on specific CHO cells expressing glutamine synthetase, and no demonstration using general CHO cells has been performed. Furthermore, individual effects of other amino acids have not been investigated. Further, amounts of proteins that are produced are still not sufficient. Thus there have been strong demands for a development of a culture process using a chemically defined medium that is capable of offering more enhanced protein production.

- A method of the present invention is characterized by comprising maintaining, when cells capable of producing desired proteins are cultured to obtain the proteins, serine in a culture solution at a high concentration. Specifically, the method is characterized by maintaining the concentration of serine in the culture solution at 1 mM or higher, preferably 2 mM or higher, at least during a certain period of time after a cell growth phase has started.
- Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention is an animal cell culture medium comprising at least 1 mM of serine or a salt thereof. In the present invention, the expression “animal cell culture medium comprising at least 1 mM of serine (or a salt thereof)” refers to not only a medium comprising serine at a concentration of 1 mM or higher in an initial medium but also a medium adjusted such that a concentration of serine in the culture solution is maintained at 1 mM or higher, preferably 2 mM or higher, by addition of a fed-batch medium or the like at least during a certain period from or after the onset of the cell growth phase.
- The method of the present invention is characterized by further comprising supplementing the culture solution with tyrosine and/or cysteine, in addition to serine contained at a high concentration. Specifically, the concentration of tyrosine in the culture solution is maintained at 1 mM or higher and/or the concentration of cysteine is maintained at a concentration of the cysteine in the initial medium or higher at least during a certain period from or after the onset of a cell growth phase. Since the concentration of cysteine in the initial medium is normally about 0.4 mM, the concentration of cysteine in the culture solution may be 0.4 mM or higher, preferably 1 mM or higher, at least during a certain period from or after the start point of the cell growth phase, regardless of the concentration of cysteine in the initial medium.
- Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention is an animal cell culture medium comprising 1 mM or higher of serine or a salt thereof, and at least 1 mM or higher of tyrosine and/or 0.4 mM or higher of cysteine. In the present invention, the expression “animal cell culture medium comprising at least 1 mM of tyrosine” refers to not only a medium comprising tyrosine at a concentration of 1 mM or higher in an initial medium but also a medium adjusted such that a concentration of tyrosine in the culture solution is maintained at 1 mM or higher by addition of a fed-batch medium or the like at least during a certain period from or after the onset of the cell growth phase. Similarly, the expression “animal cell culture medium comprising at least 0.4 mM of cysteine” refers to not only a medium comprising cysteine at a concentration of 0.4 mM or higher in an initial medium but also a medium adjusted such that a concentration of cysteine in the culture solution is maintained at 0.4 mM or higher by addition of a fed-batch medium or the like at least during a certain period from or after the onset of the cell growth phase.
- If the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution is maintained as described above while cells are cultured, the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution is maintained at a predetermined concentration or higher at least during a part of a period sufficient to enable cells that are to be cultured to grow sufficiently, or during a part of a period sufficient to enable adequate production of desired proteins that are to be produced, enabling the cells to produce the proteins at high yields.
- Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention is a method of culturing cells capable of producing desired proteins to obtain the proteins by use of a medium adjusted such that a concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) is maintained at a predetermined concentration or higher. Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention is a process of producing desired proteins, which process is characterized by comprising culturing cells capable of producing the desired proteins by use of an animal cell culture medium comprising at least 1 mM of serine or a salt thereof. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of producing desired proteins, which method is characterized by comprising culturing cells capable of producing the desired proteins by use of an animal cell culture medium comprising at least 1 mM of serine or a salt thereof, at least 1 mM of tyrosine, and/or at least 0.4 mM of cysteine.
- In the present invention, the period during which the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution is maintained at a predetermined concentration or higher as described above may be a part of a period from the start point to the end point of the growth phase, or an entire period from the start point to the end point of the growth phase, or an entire culture period.
- The expression “onset (or start point) of a growth phase” as used herein refers to a transition period from a lag phase to an accelerated phase of growth of cultured cells. Thereafter, the phase moves from the accelerated phase to an exponential growth phase, a decline phase, a stationary phase, and then a death phase. (Takeshi Kobayashi and Hiroyuki Honda, “Seibutsukagakukogaku” (Biochemical Engineering), Tokyo Kagaku Dojin, Applied
Life Science Series 8, 2002.) - In another aspect of the present invention, the period during which the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution is maintained at a predetermined concentration or higher in the culture method of the present invention may be a part of or an entire period sufficient to enable cells that are to be cultured to grow sufficiently, or a part of or an entire period sufficient to enable adequate production of desired proteins; specifically, the concentration may be maintained at a predetermined concentration or higher during a part of an entire period from the start point to the end point of the growth phase of the cells that are cultured. It is especially important to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher during a certain period from or after the third day of the culture, because an amino acid content of the initial medium is depleted on and after the third day of the culture. Accordingly, in this aspect of the present invention, more specifically, a period in which it is required to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher may be at least a part of or an entire period from the third day of the culture to a phase from the decline phase to the stationary phase of the cultured cells, preferably a part of or an entire period from the third day of the culture to a phase from the exponential cell growth phase to the decline phase.
- In a further specific aspect, it is preferable to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher during a period from at least 4 days after (normally on day 5 of culture) the start point of the cell growth phase (normally around
day 1 of culture), preferably a period from at least 3 days after (normally onday 4 of culture) the start point of the growth phase, more preferably a period from at least 2 days after (normally onday 3 of culture) the start point of the growth phase, even more preferably a period from or after the start point of the growth phase. Further, it is required to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher at least until 5 days before the end of the culture, preferably until 4 days before the end of the culture, more preferably until 3 days before the end of the culture, in cases in which the culture period is not longer than two weeks; in cases in which the culture period is longer than two weeks, it is required to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher until the tenth day of the culture, preferably until 5 days before the end of the culture, more preferably until 4 days before the end of the culture, even more preferably until 3 days before the end of the culture. - In another aspect of the present invention, it is preferable to continuously maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher at least during a part of the exponential cell growth phase. A specific period is a period from 4 days after the start point of the exponential growth phase, preferably a period from 3 days after the start point of the exponential growth phase, more preferably a period from the start point of the exponential growth phase. As used herein, the expression “a part of an exponential cell growth phase” refers to a part of the exponential growth phase, an entire period from the start point to the end point of the exponential growth phase, or an entire culture period, during which the concentration may be maintained.
- In typical cell culture, the start point of the exponential growth phase is normally around
day 3 of culture. Accordingly, in another specific aspect of the present invention, the concentration of serine in the culture solution is maintained at 1 mM or higher, preferably 2 mM or higher, at least during a part of or an entire culture period from the third day of the culture. In cases in which the concentrations of tyrosine and/or cysteine are also maintained at predetermined concentrations or higher, the concentration of tyrosine in the culture solution is maintained at 1 mM or higher and/or the concentration of cysteine is maintained at a concentration of the cysteine in an initial medium or higher at least during a part of or an entire culture period from the third day of the culture. Since a typical concentration of cysteine in the initial medium is about 0.4 mM, the said concentration of cysteine in the culture solution may be 0.4 mM or higher, preferably 1 mM or higher, during a part of or an entire culture period from the third day of the culture, regardless of the concentration of cysteine in the initial medium. - As used herein, the expression “at least a part of or an entire culture period from the third day of the culture” refers to a culture period from the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh day of the culture, or a culture period from the start point of the culture or from the first or second day of the culture including a part of or an entire culture period from the third day of the culture.
- In the cases in which the culture period is not longer than two weeks, it is preferable to continuously maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher at least until 5 days before the end of the culture, preferably until 4 days before the end of the culture, more preferably until 3 days before the end of the culture. In the cases in which the culture period is longer than two weeks, it is preferable to continuously maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher at least until the tenth day of the culture, preferably until 5 days before the end of the culture, more preferably until 4 days before the end of the culture, even more preferably until 3 days before the end of the culture.
- Accordingly, in another aspect of the present invention, the concentration of serine in the culture solution is maintained at 1 mM or higher, preferably 2 mM or higher, at least during a part of or an entire period from the third day to the tenth day of the culture. In the cases in which the concentrations of tyrosine and/or cysteine are also maintained at predetermined concentrations or higher, the concentration of tyrosine in the culture solution is maintained at 1 mM or higher and/or the concentration of cysteine is maintained at a concentration of the cysteine in an initial medium or higher at least during a part of or an entire period from the third day to the tenth day of the culture. Since the concentration of cysteine in the initial medium is normally about 0.4 mM, the concentration of cysteine in the culture solution may be maintained at 0.4 mM or higher, preferably 1 mM or higher, during a part of or an entire period from the third day to the tenth day of the culture, regardless of the concentration of the cysteine in the initial medium.
- As used herein, the expression “at least a part of or an entire culture period from the third day to the tenth day of the culture” refers to a culture period from the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh day of the culture, or a culture period from the start point of the culture or from the first or second day of the culture including a part of or an entire culture period from the third day to the tenth day of the culture.
- In the above aspect, it is sufficient to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration or higher at least during a part of or an entire period from the third day of the culture. Even when the culture period is shorter than 10 days, if the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution is maintained at a predetermined concentration or higher during a part of or an entire period from the third day of the culture, this is encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
- Culturing cells by the method of the present invention enables high-yield production of proteins that are bio-product from the cells, and the proteins are isolated from the culture medium and purified to obtain desired proteins.
- Culturing cells while maintaining the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution at a predetermined concentration can be achieved either by addition of a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) to the medium at an early stage of the cell culture, or by addition of a medium comprising a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) during the culture to supplement the medium with amino acids.
- A preferred timing of commencing supplementing the culture solution with amino acids to maintain the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution is at least within 3 days from a time when the amino acids in the culture solution reach a predetermined concentration or lower, preferably within 1 day, most preferably before the amino acids reach a predetermined concentration or lower. Supplementation of amino acids may be carried out once only, in butches sequentially, or continuously. Alternatively, the initial medium may contain a total amount of amino acids required for maintaining the amino acids at predetermined concentrations.
- In general, cell culture methods are classified into batch culture, continuous culture, and fed-batch culture. In the method of the present invention, any of these culture methods can be used, but fed-batch culture or continuous culture is preferably used; use of fed-batch culture is especially preferred.
- Batch culture is a culture method in which a small amount of seed culture solution is added to a medium and cells are grown without any addition of a new medium or discharge of the culture solution during the culture. In the case of using the batch culture in the present invention, the medium comprises a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) from an initial stage of the cell culture.
- Continuous culture is a culture method in which a medium is added and discharged continuously during the culture. This continuous method includes perfusion culture.
- Fed-batch culture is also called semi-batch culture because it is between batch culture and continuous culture. In the fed-batch culture, a medium is fed continuously or sequentially during cultivation, but unlike the continuous culture, discharge of the culture solution is not carried out in the culture. The medium to be added in the fed-batch culture (hereinafter “fed-batch medium”) does not necessarily have to be the same medium as that already used in the culture (hereinafter “initial medium”); namely, a different medium may be added, or only specific components may be added.
- As used herein, the term “initial medium” generally refers to a medium used in an early stage of cell culture. Note that in the case in which the fed-batch medium is added in multiple batches, each medium before the addition of the fed-batch medium may be referred to as an initial medium.
- In the case of employing the fed-batch culture or continuous culture in the present invention, the medium that is to be added during the culture may contain a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine), or a high concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) may be contained in the culture medium from an initial stage of the cell culture. What is important is to maintain the concentration of serine, or respective concentrations of serine and tyrosine, or respective concentrations of serine and cysteine, or respective concentrations of serine, tyrosine, and cysteine, at a predetermined concentration or higher at least during a predetermined stage of the culture, as described above. To realize the foregoing, for instance the concentration of serine (and tyrosine and/or cysteine) in the culture solution may be monitored to adjust the concentrations of these amino acids in the medium to be added so that the concentrations of these amino acids in the culture solution can be controlled. Alternatively, a method in which, for instance, a stage of a cell growth curve is determined on the basis of the number of cells in the culture to control the supplementation of the amino acids can be employed.
- The following describes in detail serine, tyrosine, and cysteine in the culture solution, by which the present invention is characterized.
- Any of serine alone, derivatives thereof, and salts thereof can be used. Natural serine, synthetic serine, or serine produced by gene recombination can be used. The concentration of serine in the culture solution is, for example, 1 mM or higher, preferably 2 mM or higher at least during a predetermined period in the culture. A conventionally used medium comprising serine typically comprises about 0.5 mM of serine; thus it is recognized that the concentration of serine in the present invention is significantly high (Dulbecco, R., Freeman,
G. Virology 8, p396 (1959), Nature, New Biology (1971) 230, p52)). - Similarly, any of tyrosine alone, derivatives thereof, and salts thereof can be used. Natural tyrosine, synthetic tyrosine, or tyrosine produced by gene recombination can be used. Similarly, any of cysteine alone, derivatives thereof, and salts thereof can be used, including cystine, which is a dimmer of cysteine. Natural cysteine, synthetic cysteine, or cysteine produced by gene recombination can be used. The concentration of tyrosine in the culture solution is 1 mM or higher and/or the concentration of cysteine is at a concentration of the cysteine in the initial medium or higher at least during a predetermined period during the culture.
- In the case of employing the fed-batch culture as the method of culturing cells in the present invention, serine and tyrosine and/or cysteine are dissolved at high concentrations to be enriched in a fed-batch medium and a fed-batch medium is added either continuously or sequentially during the culture so that the concentrations of these amino acids are maintained at predetermined concentrations or higher. Specifically, for example a fed-batch medium comprising L-serine at a concentration of about 10-1000 mM, preferably 20-500 mM, more preferably 50-200 mM, may be used as the fed-batch medium. Alternatively, a fed-batch medium comprising L-tyrosine at a concentration of about 0.01-1000 mM, preferably 1-200 mM, more preferably 10-100 mM, or a fed-batch medium comprising L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate at a concentration of about 0.01-500 mM, preferably 0.1-50 mM, more preferably 1-10 mM, may be used as the fed-batch medium.
- In the case in which the fed-batch medium is added to the culture solution in the present invention, an amount of the fed-batch medium to be added sequentially or continuously over a culture period or for a certain period during the culture period may be 1-150%, preferably 5-50%, more preferably 8-20%, of an amount of the initial medium.
- In the present invention, a period of the addition of the fed-batch medium to the culture solution includes at least a part of or an entire period from the start point to the end point of the cell growth phase of the culture. A preferred period is a period from at least 4 days after the start point of the exponential growth phase (normally around
day 3 of the culture) of the cells being cultured, preferably from 3 days after the start point of the exponential growth phase, more preferably from the start point of the exponential growth phase (normally aroundday 3 of the culture). It is preferable to start feeding at least within 3 days from a time when the concentration of the amino acid in the culture solution reaches a predetermined concentration or lower, preferably within 1 day, most preferably before the concentration of the amino acid reaches the predetermined concentration. In the cases in which the culture period is not longer than two weeks, the feeding may be carried out or continued at least until 5 days before the end of the culture, preferably 4 days before, more preferably 3 days before. In the cases in which the culture period is longer than two weeks, the feeding may be carried out or continued at least until the tenth day of the culture, preferably until 5 days before the end of the culture, more preferably until 4 days before the end of the culture, even more preferably until 3 days before the end of the culture. - Components that are commonly used in media for culturing cells (preferably animal cells) can be appropriately used as other components in the culture solution for use in the methods of the present invention, including amino acids, vitamins, lipid factors, energy sources, osmoregulators, iron sources, and pH buffers. In addition to the foregoing components, a minor metal element, surfactant, growth cofactor, nucleoside, or the like may be added. Medium components, including characteristic components, for use in the present invention may be divided, and they may be added separately to be used in the cell culture. Specifically, for instance a high concentration of serine alone and medium components may be used in the cell culture either at the same time or at different times.

- In addition to the components above, the culture solution can comprise, for example, minor metal elements such as copper sulfate, manganese sulfate, zinc sulfate, magnesium sulfate, nickel chlorid, tin chloride, magnesium chloride, and sodium silicite, preferably copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, and magnesium sulfate; surfactants such as
Tween 80 and Pluronic F68; and growth cofactors such as recombinant insulin, recombinant IGF, recombinant EGF, recombinant FGF, recombinant PDGF, recombinant TGF-alpha, ethanolamine hydrochloride, sodium selenite, retinoic acid, and putrescine hydrochloride, preferably sodium selenite, ethanolamine hydrochloride, recombinant IGF, and putrescine hydrochloride; and nucleosides such as deoxyadenosine, deoxycytidine, deoxyguanosine, adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, and uridine. In preferred examples of the present invention described above, antibiotics, such as streptomycin, penicillin G potassium, and gentamicin, and pH indicators, such as phenol red, may be contained. - The amount of other components in the culture solution are normally in the ranges of suitably 0.05-1500 mg/L amino acid, 0.001-10 mg/L vitamins, 0-200 mg/L lipid factors, 1-20 g/L energy sources, 0.1-10000 mg/L osmoregulators, 0.1-500 mg/L iron source, 1-10000 mg/L pH buffers, 0.00001-200 mg/L minor metal elements, 0-5000 mg/L surfactant, 0.05-10000 μg/L growth cofactors, and 0.001-50 mg/L nucleosides, but are not limited to these ranges and can be appropriately determined depending on the type of the cell cultured, the type of the desired protein, and the like.
- The pH of the culture solution depends on the cells to be cultured, but normally is pH 6.8-7.6, and may often suitably be pH 7.0-7.4.
- In the present invention, cells can be cultured using a complete synthetic medium in which the foregoing components are dissolved. It is also possible to use as a basal medium a conventionally known animal cell culture medium, and the medium may be supplemented with the characteristic components for use in the present invention. Examples of commercially-available basal media that can be used as the animal cell culture medium include: D-MEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium), D-MEM/F-12 1:1 Mixture (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium: Nutrient Mixture F-12), RPMI1640, CHO-S-SFMII (Invitrogen), CHO-SF (Sigma-Aldrich), EX-CELL 301 (JRH biosciences), CD-CHO (Invitrogen), IS CHO-V (Irvine Scientific), and PF-ACF-CHO (Sigma-Aldrich). In cases of culturing cells by fed-batch culture, such commercially-available media can be used as the initial medium at an early stage of the cell culture. The same medium as used as the initial medium may be concentrated and supplemented with serine and tyrosine and/or cysteine and then used as the fed-batch medium.
- The culture methods of the present invention can be used to culture various cells (e.g., bacterial cells, fungal cells, insect cells, plant cells, animal cells) without any limitation. For example, recombinant COS cells or recombinant CHO cells carrying a gene encoding a desired protein prepared by genetic engineering, or fused cells producing antibodies, exemplified by hybridoma such as mouse-human, mouse-mouse, and mouse-rat, can be cultured. The methods of the present invention can be used to culture animal cells to obtain natural type proteins that the animal cells produce, or to culture BHK cells, HeLa cells, and the like as well as the cells described above.
- Especially preferred animal cells in the present invention are CHO cells in to which a gene encoding a desired protein is introduced. The desired protein is not particularly limited and may be any protein such as antibodies, such as natural antibodies, antibody fragments, small antibody fragments or “minibody”, chimeric antibodies, and humanized antibodies (e.g., anti-IL-6 receptor antibodies, anti-glypican-3 antibodies, anti-CD3 antibodies, anti-CD20 antibodies, anti-GPIIb/IIIa antibodies, anti-TNF antibodies, anti-CD25 antibodies, anti-EGFR antibodies, anti-Her2/neu antibodies, anti-RSV antibodies, anti-CD33 antibodies, anti-CD52 antibodies, anti-IgE antibodies, anti-CD11a antibodies, anti-VEGF antibodies, anti-VLA4 antibodies) and physiologically active proteins (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), erythropoietin, interferon, interleukin such as IL-1 and IL-6, t-PA, urokinase, serum albumin, blood coagulation factor), but antibodies are especially preferred.
- Antibodies produced by the methods of the present invention include not only monoclonal antibodies derived from animals, such as human, mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, and monkey, but also artificially-modified gene recombinant antibodies, such as chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and bispecific antibodies. The immunoglobulin class of an antibody is not particularly limited, and may be any of IgG, such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, IgA, IgD, IgE, and IgM, but IgG and IgM are preferred in pharmaceutical uses. The antibodies of the present invention include not only whole antibodies but also antibody fragments, such as Fv, Fab, and F(ab)2, and minibodies which are single chain Fv (e.g., scFv, sc(Fv)2) with uni-, bi- or multi-valent binding in which variable regions of the antibodies are connected by linkers such as peptide linkers.
- Since culture conditions differ according to types of cells to be used, suitable conditions can be appropriately determined. For example, CHO cells may be cultured, normally, in an atmosphere of CO2 gas at a concentration of 0-40%, preferably 2-10%, at 30-39° C., preferably about 37° C., for 1-50 days, preferably 1-14 days.
- Various bioreactors for animal cell cultures can be used; for example, fermenter-type tank bioreactors, airlift bioreactors, culture flask bioreactors, spinner flask bioreactors, microcarrier bioreactors, fluidized-bed bioreactors, hollow fiber bioreactors, roller bottle bioreactors, and packed-bed bioreactors.
- Culturing cells (preferably animal cells) by the methods of the present invention enables high-yield production of proteins.
- Some proteins can be produced merely by culturing cells that produce the proteins, while production of some other proteins requires a special operation. The operation or conditions may be appropriately determined according to animal cells to be cultured. For example, in the case of CHO cells transformed by genetic engineering with a vector having a gene encoding a mouse-human chimeric antibody, the cells may be cultured under the foregoing conditions so that a desired protein is obtained in the medium within 1-50 days, preferably 5-21 days, more preferably about 7-14 days. The resulting protein may be isolated and purified by methods well known in the art (refer to, for example, Kotaikogakunyumon (Introduction to Antibody Engineering), Chijinshokan Co. Ltd., (1994) p. 102-104; Affinity Chromatography Principles & Methods, GE Healthcare, (2003) p. 56-60) to obtain the desired protein.
- The present invention enables high-yield production of recombinant antibodies (e.g., natural antibodies, antibody fragments, fragmented antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, bispecific antibodies), gene recombinant proteins (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF), granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factors (GM-CSF), erythropoietins, interferon, interleukin, such as IL-1 and IL-6, t-PA, urokinase, serum albumin, blood coagulation factors), and the like.
- In cases in which a protein or polypeptide produced by the methods of the present invention (the protein and the polypeptide are sometimes referred to as the protein of the present invention) has a biological activity that can be utilized as a pharmaceutical, such a protein or polypeptide may be mixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or additive and formulated to produce a medicament. Proteins of the present invention, and medicaments comprising as an active ingredient the proteins of the present invention are also encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
- Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and additives include water, pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvents, collagen, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carboxyvinyl polymer, sodium carboxymethyl cellose, sodium polyacrylate, sodium alginate, water-soluble dextran, sodium carboxymethyl starch, pectin, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, xanthan gum, gum arabic, casein, agar, polyethylene glycol, diglycerol, glycerol, propylene glycol, Vaseline, paraffin, stearyl alcohol, stearic acid, human serum albumin (HSA), mannitol, sorbitol, lactose, and surfactants that are acceptable as pharmaceutical additives.
- An actual additive is selected from the foregoing, either alone or in combination, according to a form of a therapeutic agent that is a pharmaceutical of the present invention, but is definitely not limited to those listed above. For example, in cases of using as a formulation for injection, an additive prepared by dissolving a purified polypeptide into a solvent, such as physiological saline, a buffer solution, and a grape sugar solution, and adding an adsorption preventive agent, such as
Tween 80,Tween 20, gelatin, and human serum albumin, may be used. A freeze-dried additive may be used to realize a form that dissolves and restructures before use, and for example sugar alcohols and sugars, such as mannitol and grape sugar, may be used as excipients for freeze drying. - An effective amount of administration of the polypeptide is appropriately selected according to a type of the polypeptide, a type of disease to be treated or prevented, an age of a patient, severity of disease, and the like. For instance, in cases in which the protein of the present invention is an antibody, such as an anti-glypican antibody, the effective amount of administration is selected from the range of 0.001 mg to 1000 mg per one kilogram of body weight per administration. The amount of administration can be selected from the range of 0.01 to 100000 mg/body of a patient. The amount of administration, however, is not limited to the foregoing.
- Methods of administration of pharmaceuticals of the present invention may be either of oral administration and parenteral administration, but parenteral administration is preferred; specific examples include injection (e.g., general or local administration by intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, intraperitoneal injection, subcutaneous injection, or the like), transnasal administration, lung administration, and percutaneous administration.
- The present invention is described in detail below, with reference to the Examples and Reference Examples. The following Examples and the like illustrate the present invention without, however, limiting the present invention thereto.
- A composition of a medium and a method of preparation are as follows.
- Initial medium: A commercially-available animal cell culture medium was dissolved and then sterilized by filtration.
- Fed-batch medium: An animal cell culture medium for use in the initial medium was dissolved such that a concentration of the animal cell culture medium was three times the concentration of the initial medium. Then, 50 mM of serine, 1.8 mM of cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate, and 14.5 mM of tyrosine were added, and a pH was decreased with hydrochloric acid until the medium components were completely dissolved (around pH 1.5). After it was confirmed that the medium components were completely dissolved, the resulting medium was sterilized by filtration.
- Cells: Humanized IgG (anti-glypican-3 antibody)-producing CHO cell strain (refer to WO 2006/006693 pamphlet).
- The initial medium was charged into a jar-type cell culture apparatus, and the CHO cells were added so as to be 2×105 cells/mL to start cultivation under conditions of 37° C. and 10% CO2. During a 14-day culture period, a lower limit of the pH was automatically controlled to 7.0, and a concentration of dissolved oxygen was automatically controlled to 40%. From the third day of the culture, the fed-batch medium was fed at a constant flow rate (1.0 g/hour with respect to 1 L initial medium), and the cultivation was continued until the fourteenth day. Sampling was carried out at the beginning of the cultivation and on the third, fifth, seventh, tenth, twelfth, and fourteenth days. Culture supernatants of the respective samples were subjected to affinity chromatography using protein A to measure concentrations of antibodies that were produced, subjected to trypan blue staining to measure survival rates, and subjected to immobilized enzyme method to quantitate lactate. As shown in
FIG. 1 , in the case of the fed-batch culture (Control) using the fed-batch medium that was not enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was about 1.6 g/L. On the other hand, in the case of the fed-batch culture (Ser, Cys, Tyr) using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and comprising increased amounts of serine, cysteine, and tyrosine at high concentrations, the concentration of antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was about 2.2 g/L; the concentration was higher by about 40%.FIG. 2 shows the transition of viability (survival rates) during the culture period. Further, as shown inFIG. 3 , the concentration of lactate transitioned at a low level from the third day of the culture in the fed-batch culture using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine, as compared to the fed-batch culture using the fed-batch medium that was not enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine. - A composition of a medium and a method of preparation are as follows.

As shown in
FIG. 4 , in the case of the fed-batch culture (Control) using the fed-batch medium that was not enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was about 1.3 g/L. On the other hand, in the case of the fed-batch culture (Ser, Cys, Tyr) using the fed-batch medium comprising increased amounts of serine, cysteine, and tyrosine at high concentrations and having a low pH, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was about 2.0 g/L; the concentration was higher by about 54%. As shown inFIG. 5 , in the case of the fed-batch culture using the fed-batch medium that was not enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine, the survival rate was 52% on the fourteenth day of the 14-day culture. On the other hand, in the case of the fed-batch culture using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and comprising increased amounts of serine, cysteine, and tyrosine at high concentrations, the survival rate was 78% on the fourteenth day of the 14-day culture; a high viability was maintained. Further, as shown inFIG. 6 , the concentration of lactate transitioned at a low level from the third day of the culture in the fed-batch culture using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine, as compared with the fed-batch culture using the fed-batch medium that was not enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine. - A composition of a medium and a method of preparation are as follows.

- Cells: Humanized IgG-producing CHO cell strain transformed with a taurine transporter gene.
- The initial medium was charged into a jar-type cell culture apparatus, and the CHO cells were added so as to be 2×105 cells/mL to start cultivation under conditions of 37° C. and 10% CO2. During a 14-day culture period, a lower limit of the pH was automatically controlled to 7.0, and a concentration of dissolved oxygen was automatically controlled to 40%. From the third day of the culture, the fed-batch medium was fed at a constant flow rate (1.0 g/hour with respect to 1 L initial medium), and the culture was continued until the fourteenth day. Sampling was carried out at the beginning of the culture and on the third, fifth, seventh, tenth, twelfth, and fourteenth days. Concentrations of antibodies that were produced in culture supernatants of the respective samples were measured by affinity chromatography using protein A, and concentrations of amino acids, serine and tyrosine, in the culture supernatants of the respective samples were measured by amino acid analysis using an ion exchange column. As shown in
FIG. 7 , in the case of the fed-batch culture (Control) using the fed-batch medium that was not enriched with serine, cysteine, and tyrosine, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was about 1.16 g/L. On the other hand, in the case of the fed-batch culture (Ser, Cys, Tyr) using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and comprising increased amounts of serine, cysteine, and tyrosine at high concentrations, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was 1.87 g/L; in the case of the fed-batch culture (Ser, Cys) using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and comprising increased amounts of serine and cysteine at high concentrations, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was 1.47 g/L; in the case of the fed-batch culture (Ser, Tyr) using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and comprising increased amounts of serine and tyrosine at high concentrations, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was 1.41 g/L; and in the case of the fed-batch culture (Cys, Tyr) using the fed-batch medium having a low pH and comprising increased amounts of cysteine and tyrosine, the concentration of the antibody that was obtained as a result of the 14-day culture was 1.18 g/L. The results suggest that high concentrations of serine, cysteine, and tyrosine contributed in this order to high-yield production of antibodies. The results also suggest that addition of high concentrations of serine, cysteine, and tyrosine all together to the fed-batch medium in the same instance most significantly contributed to high-yield production of antibodies. -
FIGS. 8 and 9 show the transitions of the concentrations of serine and tyrosine during the 14-day culture period. In the control, the concentration of serine was 0.63 mM and the concentration of tyrosine was 0.34 mM on the fifth day, and the concentration of serine was 0.4 mM or lower and the concentration of tyrosine was 0.4 mM or lower from the seventh day of the culture. On the other hand, the concentration of serine was maintained at 2 mM or higher in the culture using the fed-batch medium supplemented with serine, and the concentration of tyrosine was maintained at 1 mM or higher in the culture using the fed-batch medium supplemented with tyrosine. - The following Reference Examples describe the preparation of humanized IgG-producing CHO cell strains transformed with a taurine transporter gene that were used in Examples 2 and 3 described above.
- Total RNA was extracted from cells producing anti-IL-6 receptor antibody (JP H08-99902 A), obtained by transforming an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody gene into CHO DXB11 cells. Thereafter, polyA-dependent cDNA was synthesized. A hamster taurine transporter (Hamster TauT) gene was obtained by PCR using as a template cDNA fragmented by three types of restriction enzymes, SalI, XhoI, and EcoRI. A PCR primers containing 5′, 3′ conservative sequences which are common between known Rat/Mouse TauT were designed and used. After nucleotide sequence of the cloned gene was determined, it was confirmed that the gene encoded Hamster TauT, based on homology with known TauT from other biological species (
FIG. 10 ). The amino acid sequence of Hamster TauT was highly homologeous with that from Mouse (96% Identity), Rat (96% Identity), and Human (93% Identity); therefore, it was speculated that Hamster TauT was a transporter having 12 trans-membrane domains (FIG. 11 ). - An expression plasmid pHyg/TauT (
FIG. 12 ) with CMV promoter was constructed by adding a Kozak sequence to the Hamster TauT gene (hereinafter “TauT”) obtained by the cloning in Reference Example 1. CHO cells expressing anti-glypican-3 antibody, as the parent strain, (refer to WO 2006/006693 pamphlet), were transformed by electroporation with the plasmid pHyg/TauT or a control plasmid pHyg without TauT. Cells transformed with the expression plasmid were selected in the presence of Hygromycin (400 μg/ml), followed by expansion of all cell strains showing stable growth (pHyg/TauT: 8 strains, pHyg: 7 strains). After TauT mRNA was prepared, the TaqMan procedure was performed to select 7 strains showing superior expression over the parent strain to obtain cells transformed with pHyg/TauT. An average amount of mRNA expression of the transformed cells (7 strains) was about 40-fold the control (7 strains). - Free Text of Sequence List
