Optimization of glycosylation type of recombinant human growth hormone-Fc fusion protein expressed in CHO cells / 中国生物制品学杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To optimize the expression of recombinant human growth hormone-Fc(rhGH-Fc)fusion protein in CHO cells in order to obtain better glycosylation ratio and lower content of highmannose.Methods CHO cells expressing rhGH-Fc were cultured in a 7 L bioreactor.The glycosylation modifications of rhGH-Fc were adjusted by improving the composition of feeding media(using three commercial mediaGly-1EX-CELL Glycosylation Adjust,Gly-2SHEFF-CHO PLUS PG ACF and Gly-3EfficientFeed C + AGT Supplement & GlycanTune C + Total Feed),and the glycosylation type and proportion of the target proteins were analyzed by mass spectrometry.Results The G0F(main glycosylation typesG0,G1 and G2;Ffucose)of Gly-1,Gly-2 and Gly-3 were 32.89%,58.66% and 33.28%,the G1F were 31.39%,18.03%and 34.90%,and the G2F were 31.39%,18.03% and 34.90%,respectively.Gly-1 and Gly-3 made the target protein contain less G0F while more G2F;Gly-3 feeding scheme-showed less high mannose modification than the other two schemes.Conclusion Gly-1 medium changed the glycosylation modification from G0F to G1F and G2F,while Gly-2 medium changed that from G2F and G1F to G0F.However,Gly-3 medium changed the glycosylation modification from G0F to G1F and G2F,and the contentof high mannose was less than 5%,which may have a better effect on modifying glycosylation type and proportion of the target protein.
