  • the present invention provides cell culture media which are suitable for the cultivation of cells with high cell viabilities, preferably mammalian cells like CHO cells, and which are characterized by their molar ratio of sodium to potassium ions.
  • the cell culture media according to the present invention allow obtaining high polypeptide productivities when used for the production of a polypeptide, in particular by recombinant expression of polypeptides in mammalian cell culture systems, in particular at industrial scale.
  • Pharmaceutically active compounds have been prepared in increasing numbers in the pharmaceutical industry using recombinant DNA technology followed by production processes developed in the field of bioengineering.

  • Preferred expression systems are mammalian cell cultures which are superior to most other eukaryotic systems based on insect cells, yeast or the like, or even traditional prokaryotic expression systems.
  • mammalian cell culture includes tremendous challenges especially at the industrial scale. Production facilities for mammalian cell culture require thorough optimization of many process conditions.
  • Suitable cell culture media must provide cell cultures with all necessary nutrient substances, which is especially difficult if no components of animal origin like serum or proteins, e.g. growth factors, are added to the media.
  • the transmembrane gradient of sodium and potassium ions is a basic property of mammalian cells with high concentration of potassium ions inside the cell and high concentration of sodium ions outside the cell.
  • the sodium potassium pump is one of the major ion pumps of the cell membrane which is electrogenic and contributes in establishing and maintaining the respective sodium and potassium ionic gradient across the membrane (Kaplan, Membrane cation transport and the control of proliferation of mammalian cells. Annu Rev Physiol.; 40: 19-41 (1978)).
  • the pump uses about 30% of the cells energy and is one of the major energy consuming processes of the cells.
  • Many basic biochemical processes are coupled to the electrochemical gradient of sodium ions, such as e.g. the Na + /Ca + exchanger or the amino acid transport into cells.
  • concentrations of sodium and potassium ions outside a cell are therefore parameters of paramount importance that influence the gradient of these ions across the membrane and the basic status of the cell.
  • WO 02/101019 addresses the high content of glucose in the medium in combination with usage of a higher osmolality.
  • the high glucose concentration between about 2-40 has been achieved by reducing or even completely eliminating agents such as sodium chloride thereby maintaining osmolality at a given level.
  • the present invention provides cell culture media with a reduced Na + /K + ratio, i.e. a Na + /K + ratio below a value of about 10. This is achieved by means of decreasing the number of total sodium ions and increasing the total potassium ion content. It has been found that such low ratio exerts several beneficial effects, in particular improved viability, growth and productivity of mammalian cells.
  • the present invention provides an optimized cell culture medium for the growth of mammalian cells as well as for polypeptide production which is characterized by a ratio of sodium to potassium ions, measured as molar content, of between about 10 to 1 and about 1 to 1, alternatively between about 8 to 1 and about 6 to 1.

  • optimization of the cell culture medium includes selecting a total amino acid content of between about 40 mM and about 100 mM, alternatively between about 50 mM and about 100 mM. This feature may be combined with a particular low molar ratio between the total ion and the total amino acid concentration of about 1.9 to about 4.
  • the invention provides a process where the cell culture medium according to the invention is used for culturing mammalian cells for the production of a desired recombinant polypeptide.
  • the process involves culturing mammalian cells in a medium according to the invention and expressing the recombinant polypeptide.

  • the cells are initially grown at temperatures of about 36 to about 37° C. which is optimal for CHO cells.
  • the exact temperature can be adapted to the needs of the cells and also changed during culturing to allow their optimal viability, growth or production.
  • the first aspect of the invention is related to the ionic balance between sodium and potassium ions in the cell culture.
  • the present invention describes a molar ratio of sodium to potassium ions which is between about 10 to 1 and about 1 to 1. In further implementations of the invention the ratio is selected between about 9 to 1 and about 5 to 1. Alternatively the ratio is between about 8 to 1 and about 6 to 1.
  • the concentration of the sodium and potassium ions and the respective ratio is here defined via their molar content.
  • the concentration of sodium and potassium ions is determined by calculating the total number of these ions in the growth medium, after the respective salts have been added and dissolved in the medium solution.
  • sodium salts are e.g. NaCl, mono- or dibasic sodium phosphate salts, sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, trace ions such e.g. sodium selenite, but are not limited to these examples.
  • the base sodium hydroxide (NaOH) that may be added to the media for pH adjustment contributes to the total content of sodium ions.
  • the term ion in this respect refers to the dissociated state. Calculating the molar content of ions thus means taking into account the valence of the ions.
  • the sodium concentration used in the media is between about 50 and 90 mM.
  • the sodium ion concentration is selected to be about 65 to about 85 mM.
  • the potassium salt that is used for media typically is KCl but also includes e.g. K 2 SO 4 or potassium dihydyrogen phosphate (KH 2 PO 4 ).
  • the potassium salt is not limited to these particular examples.
  • the potassium concentration used in the media is between about 8 and about 12 mM, or about 10.7 mM.
  • Table 1 shows examples for media that are traditionally used for the growth of mammalian cells. These classic media such as DMEM, DMEM/F12, BGJ and others have a particularly high ratio of Na/K ions.
  • the media according to the present invention are characterized by a particularly low Na/K ratio of less than about 10 to 1 (see Table 2).
  • the media according to the present invention are suitable for culturing CHO and other mammalian cells and show an improved growth of the cells and/or allow for an improved production of polypeptides. Two examples for such media are shown in Table 3, which depicts the composition of two media examples and how a low Na/K ratio can be achieved. Synergistic effects between the low ratio of sodium to potassium ions and the other media features have even an additional advantageous effect on growth of cells and production of recombinant proteins.
  • the present media are also characterized by a particularly low concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) that is added to the mixture of media components.
  • NaCl sodium chloride
  • concentrations of about 7 to about 15 mM are used. This low amount of sodium chloride is unusual.
  • the sodium chloride concentration (in mM) is even lower than the concentration (in mM) of the respective potassium salt that is added.
  • media according to the present invention often show a low total content of chloride ion. As shown by the examples of Table 2, this results in initial chloride concentrations of between about 36 and 46 mM.
  • inorganic salts such as NaCl or CaCl 2 contribute to this value, but also media components such as choline chloride, or amino acids such as for example L-histidine hydrochloride or L-lysine hydrochloride may add on to the total concentration.
  • a further advantage of the media compositions according to the present invention is the combination of a low molar Na/K ratio together with a starting concentration of amino acids that ranges between about 40 mM, alternatively about 50 mM and about 100 mM.

  • the overall balance between total ion concentrations (contributing to the overall ionic strength of the medium), and the amino acids in the medium is important.
  • the ratio between the total ion concentration and the amino acids in the nutrient growth medium is mostly dominated by bulk inorganic salts such as e.g. sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium hydrogen carbonate and others, that are major ingredients of most types of cell culture media for animal cells.
  • salts of trace ions, amino acids or vitamins contribute to this value (e.g. cupric sulphate, L-arginine hydrochloride, L-histidine hydrochloride, choline chloride, 0-calcium pantothenate and others).
  • the cells may also adjust the concentrations of these ions.
  • the total concentration of ions here as the sum of all major organic and inorganic salts added to the medium which are ionizable in an aqueous medium solution plus the base NaOH and acid HCl. Trace elements are not included.

  • 1 mM of MgCl 2 would accordingly add 3 mM of ions while 1 mM of the organic salt trisodium citrate contributes with 4 mM.
  • the molar ratio between ions and amino acids is thus selected to be between about 1.9 and 4. In some implementation the ratio is selected to range between about 2.0 and 3.9.

  • a parental CHO cell line which is derived from the dhfr (+) CHO-K1 cell line ATCC CCL-61 (Kao et. al., Genetics, 1967, 55, 513-524; Kao et. al., PNAS, 1968, 60, 1275-1281; Puck et. al., J. Exp. Med., 1958, 108, 945-959) by adaptation to serum-free, protein-free media conditions. Two aliquots of this parental cell line are transfected to express two different monoclonal antibodies mAB1 and mAB2, respectively.
  • Example 1 two shake flask cultures containing medium 1 are inoculated in parallel with a mAb1-producing CHO clone.
  • the shake flask cultures are incubated in a carbon dioxide incubator at 37° C.
  • On day 3 one shake flask is transferred to a carbon dioxide incubator set at 33° C.
  • Both shake flasks are similarly fed with two feed solutions. Feed was supplemented according to a fixed schedule, with addition of 0.4% of the first feed solution (Table 2) and 2% of the second feed (Table 3) per day starting on day 5 and lasting until the end of the culture.
  • the temperature shift to 33° C. enables longer maintenance of the viable cell density and viability of the culture with time ( FIGS. 1 and 2 ) and the achievement of a higher product titer ( FIG. 3 ), compared to the culture that is maintained at 3° C. for the whole duration of the experiment.
  • This example illustrates the benefit of implementing a temperature shift to 33° C. during a cell culture production process based on a CHO cell line.
  • a 300-1 bioreactor containing medium 2 is inoculated with a mAb2-producing CHO clone.
  • the temperature of the bioreactor is shifted from 36.5° C. to 33° C.
  • the pH setpoint is 6.90 and the deadband is 0.10.
  • the culture starts at pH 7.00, the pH drifts down to 6.80 between day 2 and day 4, and then progressively returns to 7.00 due to lactic acid consumption by the cells ( FIG. 4 ).
  • the shift to pH 6.80 enables to reduce the addition of base compared to a scenario with a constant pH 7.00,
  • the return to pH 7.00 enables to reduce the concentration of CO 2 in the medium compared to a scenario where the pH is left at 6.80 after the first shift.
