ABSTRACT
Directed control of cell metabolism by a modification of the physicochemical conditions (presence of Na-butyrate and modification of the temperature) was used to modulate the productivity of human recombinant tissular plasminogen activator (t-PA) expressed under control of SV40 promoter in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines. We showed that both by adding Na-butyrate or lowering temperature from 37 degrees C to 32 degrees C there is an increase in the amount of t-PA excreted, while cell growth is significantly reduced. The treatments also increased the intracellular amount of t-PA. We measured the distribution of cell cycle phases by cytometry and used a modification of the equations of Kromenaker and Srienc (1991, 1994 a, b) to analyse the intracellular t-PA production rate in the different cell cycle phases. Intracellular t-PA was shown to accumulate in G1 phase in all conditions (at 37 degrees C, at 32 degrees C and in presence of butyrate). Moreover, we have shown that the distribution of the time cells treated by butyrate are maintained in the G1cell cycle phase is significantly increased. t-PA produced in the different cell culture conditions tested was analysed by zymogram and western blotting neither butyrate, neither the shift of temperature changed significantly the overall quality of the protein. The N-glycan patterns of recombinant human t-PA was also analysed with carbohydrate-specific lectins. Butyrate caused a transitory increase in N-linked complex high-mannose oligosaccharides without any effect on the sialic acid content of t-PA.
