Definitions
- This invention is in the general field of animal cell culture. More particularly, the invention concerns improved medium and methods for the cultivation of animal cell lines and the production of natural and recombinant products derived therefrom.
- lactic acidosis can be caused by inherited or spontaneously acquired mutations in genes encoding enzymes of mitochondrial glucose metabolism or oxidative phosphorylation.
- glucose is broken down into pyruvate, which in turn is metabolized in the mitochondria to carbon dioxide and water via the tri-carboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.
- TCA tri-carboxylic acid
- pyruvate is instead shunted into anaerobic glycolysis and converted into lactic acid or lactate.
- Dichloroacetate has been used for many years as a drug in humans to treat conditions associated with lactic acidosis as well as diabetes and hyperlipoproteinemia (reviewed in Stacpoole et al, 1998, Drag. Metabol. Rev. 30(3):499-539; see also US Patents Nos. 4,122,188 to Stacpoole, 4,631,294 to Barsan, and 5,587,397 to Fox).
- Dichloroacetate inhibits Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH) kinase activity, which in turn leads to the activation of the PDH complex and the redirection of pyruvate away from lactate formation and into the TCA cycle (Crabb et al, 1981, Metabolism 30(10): 1024-1039).
- PDH Pyruvate Dehydrogenase
- dichloroacetate is toxic to humans and other animals when administered at high or chronic doses.
- lactate accumulates in mammalian cell cultures, leading to acidification of the medium and inhibition of cell growth.
- base is added in order to circumvent (at least in part) this problem.
- chemical inhibitors of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase are added to medium used for culturing animal cells in vitro.
- Animal cell cultures grown in such medium demonstrated significantly reduced production of lactate. Consequently, the pH shifts that typically accompany cultured cell growth were reduced in non-pH controlled cell cultures, and less base addition was required in pH controlled cell cultures. Thus, culture robustness and performance was improved.
- the invention provides a method for culturing animal cells in vitro, the method comprising culturing the animal cells in tissue culture medium containing an effective amount of an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase.
- Preferred cells are mammalian cells, and particularly CHO cells.
- the inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase can be, for example, dichloroacetate or related salts of dichloroacetetic acid.
- the inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase can be (R)-3, 3, 3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2- methylpropionic acid, or an anilide or amide derivative thereof.
- the invention finds particular use in the culturing of animal cells that are genetically engineered to express a protein of interest.
- the invention also provides a tissue culture medium containing an effective amount of an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase.
- FIG. 1 Viable cell concentration (solid lines) and percent cell viability (broken lines) measured as a function of time in culture. CHO cells were grown in shake flasks containing medium supplemented with the indicated concentration of dichloroacetate.
- FIG. 1 Lactate accumulation (solid lines) and culture pH (broken lines) measured as a function of time in culture. CHO cells were grown in shake flasks containing medium supplemented with the indicated concentration of dichloroacetate.
- Figure 3. Viable cell concentration (solid lines) and percent cell viability (broken lines) measured as a function of time in culture. CHO cells were grown in bioreactors containing medium supplemented with the indicated concentration of dichloroacetate.
- FIG. 1 Lactate accumulation (solid lines) and sodium carbonate base added (broken lines) measured as a function of time in culture.
- CHO cells were grown in bioreactors containing medium supplemented with the indicated concentration of dichloroacetate.
- the invention is based, in part, on the discovery that inhibitors of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase can be used in vitro to improve the performance and growth of animal cell cultures. Specifically, inhibitors of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase act to reduce lactate formation in production cell culture, thereby enhancing culture robustness.
- dichloroacetate was used as a model compound to inhibit pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase activity in a mammalian cell culture system.
- a non-pH controlled culture system shake flasks
- the reduction in lactate formation significantly reduced the pH shifts that accompanied cell growth which in turn led to a dramatic increase in the viable cell concentration and viability, hi a pH-controlled bioreactor, the lactate levels were again lower in the culture containing dichloroacetate but without a corresponding increase in the viable cell concentration.
- the amount of base required to maintain the pH set-point was noticeably reduced.
- the invention can improve the culture performance of generally any type of animal cell that can be grown in in vitro culture including but not limited to mammalian cells, insect cells, avian cells and reptilian cells.
- animal cell is meant a cell whose progenitors were derived from a multicellular animal.
- the animal cell lines are mammalian cell lines.
- the invention is particularly advantageous for growing industrially important mammalian cell lines that have been adapted to grow in long term culture.
- a wide variety of animal cell lines suitable for growth in culture are available from, for example, the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) and NRRL (Peoria, IL). Some of the more established cell lines typically used in the industrial or academic laboratory and which are preferred are CHO, VERO, BHK, HeLa, Cos, CVl, MDCK, 293, 3T3, PC12, hybridoma, myeloma, and WI38 cell lines, to name but a few examples.

- Some of the more established cell lines typically used in the industrial or academic laboratory and which are preferred are CHO, VERO, BHK, HeLa, Cos, CVl, MDCK, 293, 3T3, PC12, hybridoma, myeloma, and WI38 cell lines, to name but a few examples.
- the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-deficient mutant cell line (Urlaub et al, 1980, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 77:4216-4220), DXB 11 and DG-44, are the CHO host cell lines of choice because the efficient DHFR selectable and amplifiable gene expression system allows high level recombinant protein expression in these cells (Kaufman R.J., 1990, Meth Enzymol 185:527-566). In addition, these cells are easy to manipulate as adherent or suspension cultures and exhibit relatively good genetic stability. In addition, new animal cell lines can be established using methods well known by those skilled in the art (e.g., by transformation, viral infection, and/or selection, etc.).
- in vitro cell culture By in vitro cell culture is meant the growth and propagation of cells outside of a multicellular organism or tissue.
- in vitro cell culture excludes the in vitro culturing of tissues isolated from an organism (e.g., a perfused heart tissue).
- tissue culture plates e.g., 10 cm plates, 96 well plates, etc.
- roller bottles or other adherent culture e.g.. , on microcarrier beads
- Cultures can be grown in shake flasks, small scale bioreactors, and/or large scale bioreactors.
- a bioreactor is a device used to culture animal cells in which environmental conditions such as temperature, atmosphere, agitation, and/or pH can be monitored and adjusted.
- environmental conditions such as temperature, atmosphere, agitation, and/or pH can be monitored and adjusted.
- a number of companies e.g., ABS Inc., Wilmington, DE; Cell Trends, Inc., Middletown, MD
- university and/or government- sponsored organizations e.g., The Cell Culture Center, Minneapolis, MN offer cell culture services on a contract basis.
- Animal cell cultures can be cultured in small to large scale processes, hi small, non-pH controlled processes (where pH is controlled by the initial buffer components in the medium, and not adjusted during the culture process except by the changing of the medium), the invention finds particular use because it reduces pH shifts due to lactate production. Hence, the cell cultures have increased levels of viable cell concentration and percent viability. In pH controlled processes (e.g., bioreactors), where the pH is continually adjusted, less base components are necessary over the life of the culture. Therefore, the invention provides a number of advantages regardless of the size or type of cell culture used.
- Tissue culture medium is defined, for purposes of the invention, as a medium suitable for growth of animal cells, and preferably mammalian cells, in in vitro cell culture.
- tissue culture medium contains a buffer, salts, energy source, amino acids, vitamins and trace essential elements.
- the medium can oftentimes require additional components such as growth factors, lipids, and/or other serum components (e.g., transferrin).
- Any media capable of supporting growth of animal cells in culture can be used; the invention is broadly applicable to animal cells in culture, particularly mammalian cells, and the choice of media is not crucial to the invention.
- Tissue culture media suitable for use in the invention are commercially available from ATCC (Manassas, VA). For example, any one or combination of the following media can be used: RPMI-1640 Medium, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Minimum Essential Medium Eagle, F-12K Medium, Iscove's Modified
- Dulbecco's Medium Often, depending upon the requirements of the particular cell line used, media also contains a serum additive such as Fetal Bovine Serum, or a serum replacement.
- a serum additive such as Fetal Bovine Serum, or a serum replacement.
- serum-replacments for serum-free growth of cells
- TCHTM, TM-235TM, and TCHTM these products are available commercially from Celox (St. Paul, MN).
- Celox St. Paul, MN
- the medium is usually highly enriched for amino acids and trace elements (see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,122,469 to Mather et al., and U.S. Patent No. 5,633,162 to Keen et al).
- an effective amount of an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase is that amount sufficient to reduce lactate formation by at least 10%, and preferably 20%, over 48 hours in culture.
- An inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase is defined as an organic molecule that prevents PDH kinase from phosphorylating the specific serine residues on the El (alpha subunit) of the PDH complex involved in regulating PDH activity.
- an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase for purposes of the invention are non-specific inhibitory conditions such as alterations in ionic strength and/or phosphate concentrations, and non-specific kinase and/or enzymatic inactivating agents such as DEPC. Also excluded from the definition of an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase for purposes of the invention is pyruvate, since addition of pyruvate also increases the undesired production of lactate.
- X is any mono or divalent metallic cation
- a is an integer from 1 to 2 inclusive
- b is an integer from 1 to 2 inclusive.
- Specific salts include those formed by the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, ammonium, and substituted ammonium where the substituent is a mono- or di-lower alkyl radical of 1-4 carbon atoms and ethylene di- ammonium.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable salts with minimum cell cytotoxicity, are preferred.
- Specific pharmaceutical salts useful in this invention include sodium dichloroacetate, potassium dichloroacetate, and diisoproyl ammonium dichloroacetate.
- the sodium dichloroacetate and free base forms are highly preferred. Generally, salt and free base forms of dichloroacetate are particularly preferred for use in the invention because of their ready availability and economical price.
- Salts of dichloroacetic acid can be used at a concentration between about 0.5 mM to about 100 mM, preferably about 50 mM. Preferably such compounds are used at a concentration of at least about 1 mM, more preferably at least about 4 mM, and most preferably at about 10 mM.
- the invention also includes the use of other specific inhibitors of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase that are known or yet to be discovered. For example, difluoroacetate, 2-chloroproprionate, 3- chloroproprionate, and 2,2' -dichloroacetate are inhibitors (Crabb et al, 1981, cited above).
- (R)-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid is a mild inhibitor. Bebemitz et al. , 2000, J. Med. Chem. 43(ll):2248-57, describes a series of anilides of (R)-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2- methylpropionic acid that act as improved inhibitors of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. These include N-phenyl-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide 1, and derivatives substituted at the ortho position with a small electron-withdrawing group, such as, for example, chloro, acetyl, or bromo.
- a particularly preferred compound is N-(2-Chloro-4-isobutylsulfamoylphenyl)- (R)-3, 3, 3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamide. Further, Aicher et al, 2000, J. Med. Chem. 43(2):236-249, describe a series of secondary amides that are also derived from (R)- trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid.
- concentration of such compounds to use in the invention can be determined by those skilled in the art by, for example, comparing the inhibitory activity against pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase of the compound to that of dichloroacetate, and extrapolating appropriate concentrations therefrom. The extrapolated concentrations can then be used as a starting point to determine the range of effective amounts of compound that should be added to a culture medium, which amounts can then be determined using small scale experiments such as those described herein.
- the invention finds particular utility in improving the production of proteins via cell culture processes.
- the cell lines used in the invention can be genetically engineered to express a protein of commercial or scientific interest.
- genetically engineered is meant that the cell line has been transfected, transformed or transduced with a recombinant polynucleotide molecule, and/or otherwise altered (e.g., by homologous recombination and gene activation) so as to cause the cell to express a desired protein.
- Methods and vectors for genetically engineering cells and/or cell lines to express a protein of interest are well known to those of skill in the art; for example, various techniques are illustrated in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. Ausubel et al, eds. (Wiley & Sons, New York, 1988, and quarterly updates) and Sambrook et al, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (Cold Spring Laboratory Press, 1989).

- chimeric antibodies i.e., an antibody having a human constant region couples to a murine antigen binding region
- DNA encoding immunoglobulin molecules can be manipulated to yield DNAs capable of encoding recombinant proteins such as single chain antibodies, antibodies with enhanced affinity, or other antibody- based polypeptides (see, for example, Larrick et al., 1989, Biotechnology 7:934-938; Reichmann et al, 1988, Nature 332:323-327; Roberts et al, 1987, Nature 328:731-734; Verhoeyen et al, 1988, Science 239:1534-1536; Chaudhary et al, 1989, Nature 339:394-397).
- humanized antibody also encompasses single chain antibodies. See, e.g., Cabilly et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; Cabilly et al, European Patent No. 0,125,023 Bl; Boss et al, U.S. Pat.

- a fusion protein is a protein, or domain or a protein (e.g. a soluble extracellular domain) fused to a heterologous protein or peptide.
- fusion proteins include proteins expressed as a fusion with a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule, proteins expressed as fusion proteins with a zipper moiety, and novel polyfunctional proteins such as a fusion proteins of a cytokine and a growth factor (i.e., GM-CSF and IL-3, MGF and IL-3).

- the resulting expressed protein can then be collected.
- the protein can purified, or partially purified, from such culture or component (e.g., from culture medium or cell extracts or bodily fluid) using known processes.
- partially purified means that some fractionation procedure, or procedures, have been carried out, but that more polypeptide species (at least 10%) than the desired protein is present.
- purified is meant that the protein is essentially homogeneous, i.e., less than 1% contaminating proteins are present.
- Fractionation procedures can include but are not limited to one or more steps of filtration, centrifugation, precipitation, phase separation, affinity purification, gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HJ.C; using such resins as phenyl ether, butyl ether, or propyl ether), HPLC, or some combination of above.
- the invention also optionally encompasses further formulating the proteins.
- formulating is meant that the proteins can be buffer exchanged, sterilized, bulk-packaged and or packaged for a final user.
- sterile bulk form means that a formulation is free, or essentially free, of microbial contamination (to such an extent as is acceptable for food and/or drug purposes), and is of defined composition and concentration.
- sterile unit dose form means a form that is appropriate for the customer and/or patient administration or consumption.
- Such compositions can comprise an effective amount of the protein, in combination with other components such as a physiologically acceptable diluent, carrier, or excipient.
- physiologically acceptable means a non-toxic material that does not interfere with the effectiveness of the biological activity of the active ingredient(s).
- Shake flasks were inoculated at 5.0xl0 5 cells/ml with either 0, 0.5, 5.0, or 10.0 mM of dichloroacetate (Cat.# 157638, ICN Biomedicals, Inc., Costa Mesa, CA). The dichloroacetate was added to the medium and pH adjusted with NaOH before adding the cells. Shake flasks were maintained in an incubator set at 37°C on a shake flask platform set at 150 rpm. Measurements for cell concentration and viability were taken using a hemacytometer and the trypan blue dye exclusion method. Glucose and lactate levels were determined using a 2700 Select YSI analyzer (Yellow Springs, OH). pC0 2 , p0 2 , and pH were determined using a blood gas analyzer (Chiron, Emeryville, CA).
- Viable cell concentration and viability values for the cultures are shown in Figure 1.
- the higher dichloroacetate concentrations resulted in increasing viable cell concentrations and viabilities.
- the most dramatic results were observed using 10.0 mM dichloroacetate in the culture, in which the viable cell concentration was almost twice that of the control with a significantly higher viability.
- This difference in culture viable cell concentration and viability could be explained by measuring both the culture lactate levels and pH.
- the measured lactate concentrations and pH correlated directly with the dichloroacetate levels as shown in Figure 2.
- 10.0 mM dichloroacetate resulted in an almost one-third drop in the culture lactate levels and an almost 0.3 pH unit difference compared to the control.
- the bioreactor experiments were performed using 2.0 L reactors with a 1.0 L working volume (Applikon, Foster City, CA).
- a DCU controller B. Braun Biotech International, AUentown, PA
- Oxygen was supplied through headspace aeration and sparging.
- Reactor inoculum was obtained from spinner flask cultures grown under conditions identical to those described above for the shake flask cultures. Dichloroacetate was added to the medium and pH adjusted with NaOH before adding the cells.
- Reactors were inoculated at 5.0xl0 5 cells/1 with a viability greater than 94%. The cell concentration, viability, glucose, lactate, pC0 2 , p0 2 , and pH were measured as described above.
- the culture viable cell concentrations and viabilities did not differ noticeably for the control and dichloroacetate containing cultures as shown in Figure 3.
- the lactate levels and the amount of sodium carbonate base added to adjust the culture pH did differ as shown in Figure 4.
- the culture with dichloroacetate had a lower amount of lactate and a corresponding reduction in the amount of base required to neutralize this acid.
- the ⁇ C0 2 levels increased faster in the culture containing dichloroacetate versus the control.
- the additional acidity caused by rising pC0 2 levels caused the base addition requirement to increase at that point. Using more effective methods to eliminate the accumulation of dissolved C0 2 in the dichloroacetate culture would most likely result in further reduction in the amount of base required.
