Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, specifically relating to an improved method for transient transfection of CHO-S cells. Background Technology

[0002] Producing recombinant proteins at the milligram or gram level is a fundamental process for many research teams and pharmaceutical companies in preclinical, biochemical, biophysical, and drug research. Mammalian cell systems are the optimal choice for recombinant protein expression in the biopharmaceutical field due to their ability to optimally express high-molecular-weight protein products, ensure correct folding of complex protein structures, and provide appropriate post-translational modifications for glycoproteins. Traditional mammalian cell expression systems involve constructing stable expression lines that integrate exogenous genes into the host cell chromosome. Constructing stable expression lines for recombinant protein production requires extensive screening after DNA introduction into cells to identify cell lines with high and stable expression levels. This process typically takes several months and requires significant manpower.

[0003] CHO cells (Chinese hamster ovary cells) are widely used as a mammalian protein expression system for expressing recombinant DNA proteins. For example, CHO-S cells, in their accompanying CHO-S expression medium, exhibit non-clumping and non-aggregating characteristics and can grow to very high cell densities, resulting in even higher protein yields through transient transfection. Transient transfection of CHO-S cells allows for rapid, high-yield transient protein production, enabling laboratory development of protein biotherapeutic agents from the initial stage of CHO-expressed proteins throughout the drug development process. With the rapid development of life sciences and biopharmaceuticals, a large number of proteins are used in basic research and drug development, creating an urgent need for a method to obtain recombinant proteins in a short time. Transient gene expression has emerged to address this need. Unlike stable expression systems, the exogenous DNA in transient transfection does not integrate into the host cell DNA, and its number in the cell typically decreases with cell division. Therefore, protein expression can only be maintained for a few days to a dozen days. However, its advantage is that it can produce gene expression products within a short period of time, and it is highly versatile. However, compared to constructing stable expression systems, transient transfection for recombinant protein production suffers from low transfection efficiency and low expression levels, significantly limiting its application. Furthermore, the commonly used transient transfection method for CHO cells has low transfection efficiency, and the expression yield of the target gene in transfected cells is low, failing to meet practical needs. Therefore, improving the efficiency of transient transfection and increasing expression levels has become a pressing issue in routine operations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or improvement needs of the existing technology, the present invention provides an improved transient transfection method for CHO-S cells. This transfection method not only has high transfection efficiency, but also can obtain higher expression levels of target antibodies in CHO-S cells, providing new ideas for the development of protein biotherapeutic agents.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an improved method for transient transfection of CHO-S cells, comprising the following steps: (1) Three days before transient transfection, CHO-S cells were passaged and cultured, and the cell density was adjusted to 0.35 × 10⁶ cells / year. 6 cells / mL, place a shake flask containing a certain volume of cells into a shaker for culture; (2) On the day of transient transfection, CHO-S cells were counted and diluted with freshly prepared transfection medium to adjust the cell density to 4 × 10⁻⁶. 6 -6×10 6 The cell count was measured at cells / mL, and the cell viability was found to be above 97%, resulting in a CHO-S cell suspension. (3) Before transfection, mix the prepared solution A and solution B and let them stand for a period of time to obtain a mixed droplet; (4) Add the mixed droplets described in step (3) to the CHO-S cell suspension and culture them according to the cell culture conditions to obtain recombinant CHO-S cells.

[0008] Further, in step (3) of the above technical solution, solution A is a solution of plasmid containing antibody light and heavy chains dissolved in NaCl buffer, and solution B is a solution of PEI transfection reagent dissolved in NaCl buffer; the mass ratio of plasmid to PEI transfection reagent in the mixed droplet is 1:3; the plasmid containing antibody light and heavy chains is a mixture of plasmid containing antibody light chains and plasmid containing antibody heavy chains in a mass ratio of 6:4; the standing temperature is 25-37℃, and the time is 5-20min.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the ratio of the total mass of the antibody light and heavy chain plasmids to the number of cells in the CHO-S cell suspension is 0.5-1 μg: 1 × 10⁻⁶. 6 cells.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (4) of the above technical solution, the concentration of total plasmid in the CHO-S cell suspension is 3-4 μg / mL; the cell culture conditions are: cultured on a shaker at a temperature of 37°C, a carbon dioxide concentration of 8%, a shaker speed of 125 rpm, and a transfection time of 48-72 h.

[0011] The present invention also provides a recombinant CHO-S cell prepared by the above-described modified CHO-S cell transient transfection method.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for promoting antibody expression after transient transfection of CHO-S cells. The recombinant CHO-S cells obtained after transient transfection are cultured with sodium butyrate solution and EN3 solution for 18-20 hours after transfection to promote protein expression in the transfected cells.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the sodium butyrate solution is a sterile solution with a concentration of 100mM using PBS buffer as a solvent, and its addition amount is 25μL per milliliter of transfection solution; the EN3 solution is a sterile solution after dissolving 29.2g of glutamine and 200g of glucose in each L of serum-free 1640 culture medium, and its addition amount is 50μL per milliliter of transfection solution.

[0014] The present invention also provides the application of the modified CHO-S cell transient transfection method described above for the preparation of recombinant CHO-S cells in recombinant protein expression.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention achieves high transfection efficiency and yields higher expression levels of the target protein in CHO-S cells by controlling the number of CHO-S cell suspensions, optimizing the transfection reagent ratio, transfection time, and transfection culture medium components. Simultaneously, the addition of a certain amount of hydrolysate at a specific time after transfection promotes antibody expression in transfected cells. Compared to traditional transfection methods, this approach achieves significantly higher expression levels of the target protein in CHO-S cells, providing a new approach for the development of protein biotherapeutic agents.
