Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cell culture, and in particular to a continuous cell culture method based on a culture mixing model. Background Art
[0002] Continuous culture refers to a culture method in which microbial strains are inoculated in a non-closed culture system, and fresh nutrient solution is continuously added during the culture process to remove inhibitory factors, optimize the growth environment, and continuously collect culture products. Since continuous culture is a culture method developed and implemented based on in-depth research on the growth curve of microorganisms in batch culture, it has significant characteristics and advantages. It can artificially control a certain period in the growth curve to a certain extent according to the purpose of the researcher, shorten or prolong it, or accelerate / reduce the cell growth rate in a certain period, thereby greatly improving the controllability of the microbial culture process.
[0003] Cell culture refers to a technology that allows cells to grow, reproduce and maintain their main structures and functions under artificially created conditions similar to the in vivo environment, such as suitable temperature, pH, and certain nutrition. For example, the Chinese invention patent with patent publication number CN113286650A discloses a continuous cell culture method, which continuously cultures shear-sensitive cells in a bioreactor system with a controlled gas outlet velocity. Specifically, a cell population composed of shear-sensitive cells is cultured in a bioreactor system with at least 25L of culture medium and a gas outlet velocity of up to 20m / s to achieve a steady-state viable cell concentration in the culture medium within the range of 20x106 cells / mL to 15x107 cells / mL. Cell culture is divided into primary culture and subculture according to different cell types, and can be divided into adherent culture and suspension culture according to different cell growth characteristics. Primary culture refers to the process of culturing cells directly separated from tissues in cell culture bottles or culture dishes. When cells continue to grow and multiply, they are closely attached to each other, with small space and high density, insufficient nutrients and accumulation of metabolites, which leads to slow cell growth, deterioration of cell status and even death. Therefore, subculture is needed to avoid this situation. Subculture is the process of digesting and diluting cells and dividing them into two or more culture bottles or culture dishes to allow them to continue to grow. Adherent culture refers to the process in which anchorage-dependent cells adhere to a certain solid surface for growth and reproduction. Suspension culture refers to the process in which certain cells that do not have the characteristics of adherent growth can only grow and reproduce in a flowable liquid culture medium. Among them, during the suspension culture process, the culture fluid needs to be shaken and oscillated.
[0004] Therefore, in the process of continuous suspension culture of cells, it is necessary to carry out continuous oscillation culture of cells. Oscillation culture refers to a culture method in which microbial cells are inoculated into a liquid culture medium and placed on a shaker or oscillator for continuous oscillation. For example, the Chinese invention patent with patent publication number CN104759226A discloses a shaker and a cell suspension culture method that can be placed in a carbon dioxide incubator. The shaker includes a power system, a drive device and an actuator. The power system and the drive device are connected by a power cord that can pass through the mating position of the inner door of the incubator and the sealing gasket of the door frame or through the through hole on the back of the incubator to cross the inside and outside of the incubator. The power cord can separate the drive device and the actuator from the power system inside and outside the incubator, thereby solving the problem of overheating of the heat generated by the power system when the ordinary shaker is placed in a carbon dioxide incubator, resulting in failure of the incubator temperature control and moisture damage to its electronic components.
[0005] Oscillation can make the culture medium fully contact with oxygen, increase the supply of dissolved oxygen, and the bacteria cultured by oscillation reproduce uniformly and have high culture efficiency. However, the oscillation time in the continuous cell culture process is relatively long, and the oscillation has a greater impact on the results of continuous cell culture. However, in actual use, due to the single frequency of the oscillation device and the relatively simple setting of the oscillation amplitude, the oscillation effect of the upper and lower cells in the continuous cell culture process is very different, and the degree of contact between cells in different parts of the culture medium and the culture fluid and the degree of contact with oxygen are also quite different, resulting in a low success rate of continuous cell culture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0043] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.
[0044] This embodiment provides a continuous cell culture method based on a culture mixing model, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0045] S1: Obtain cell culture environment data, the environment data includes culture solution status data and mixer status data, the culture solution status data includes culture solution temperature, culture solution pH value, culture solution oxygen content, the mixer status data includes mixing mode, mixing frequency, mixer oxygen content.
[0046] The cell culture environment data obtained is mainly detected from the test of successful continuous cell culture, and the obtained cell culture environment data includes environmental data of at least 5 groups of cells of the same type. The method of the present application mainly detects the state of the culture solution and the state of the mixer during the continuous cell culture process, thereby obtaining the data of the overall culture environment during the continuous cell culture process.
[0047] S2: segmenting the environmental data according to the preset cultivation time, and calculating the statistical characteristics and analytical characteristics of the environmental data in each cultivation time period;
[0048] The environmental data is segmented at time intervals of T2 minutes to obtain multiple second culture segments; the mixing mode coefficient θ, the average mixing frequency L1, and the average mixer oxygen content Q1 in each second culture segment are calculated as analysis features; the environmental data is segmented at time intervals of T1 minutes to obtain multiple first culture segments; the average culture solution temperature C1, the standard deviation of the culture solution pH value P1, and the average culture solution oxygen content H1 in each first culture segment are calculated as statistical features.
[0049] The relationship between T1 and T2 is as follows:
[0050]
[0051] Among them, μ represents the mixing frequency coefficient, γ represents the oxygen risk coefficient, and the mixing frequency coefficient is obtained by dividing the average mixing frequency L1 by the set mixing frequency L s The oxygen risk factor is determined by the average mixer oxygen content Q1 and the set mixer oxygen content Q s The mixing mode coefficient θ is determined by the mixing mode used in the second culture segment.
[0052] In step S2, the obtained data is first segmented according to time, and then analyzed according to time periods. The obtained culture fluid state data is segmented according to the time interval of T2 minutes, T2∈[5,10], and the obtained mixer state data is segmented according to the time interval of T1 minutes, and the above relationship is satisfied between T1 and T2. Limiting the relationship between T1 and T2 can obtain a more reasonable segmentation of the mixer state data. Through the comprehensive judgment between the average mixing frequency L1, the average mixer oxygen content Q1 and the mixing mode coefficient θ, the relationship between the mixing mode and the mixing frequency can be balanced. At the same time, the oxygen content in the mixer improves the division of T1 as a whole.
[0053] In step S2, the analysis features are limited to the mixing mode coefficient θ, the average mixing frequency L1, and the average mixer oxygen content Q1 in each second culture segment. The mixing modes mainly include stirring and oscillation. The stirring types include central rotation and stirring along the axis. The oscillation types mainly include horizontal oscillation, swing oscillation, variable amplitude oscillation, up and down oscillation, and three-dimensional space oscillation. Different mixing mode coefficients θ are assigned according to different mixing modes. When taking the average value of the mixing frequency and the mixer oxygen content, it is also necessary to reduce the noise of the data and remove unreasonable values.
[0054] In step S2, the statistical features are also limited to the average culture solution temperature C1, the standard deviation P1 of the culture solution pH value, and the average culture solution oxygen content H1 in each first culture segment. Since the culture solution temperature and the culture solution oxygen content change slowly, the average value can be used to reflect them. When taking the average value of the culture solution temperature and the culture solution oxygen content, it is also necessary to reduce the noise of the data and remove unreasonable values. Since the culture solution pH value changes quickly and is relatively sensitive, it is reflected in the form of standard deviation.
[0055] S3: Perform factor analysis on the statistical features to obtain the cultivation features; the cultivation features include the first cultivation feature X1 and the second cultivation feature X2, and the first cultivation feature X1 and the second cultivation feature X2 are respectively obtained by the following analysis methods:

[0063] In step S3, the first culture feature X1 and the second culture feature X2 are used to represent the culture feature, the first culture feature X1 is used to reflect the temperature of the culture solution, and the second culture feature X2 is used to reflect the overall condition of the culture solution. In step S3, the first analysis feature Y1 and the second analysis feature Y2 are also used to represent the mixing feature, the first analysis feature Y1 is used to reflect the comprehensive condition of the mixing frequency and the oxygen content of the mixer, and the second analysis feature Y2 is used to represent the overall condition of the mixer.
[0064] S4: Classify the culture characteristics into multiple culture types, and establish identification rules based on the culture characteristics at the center of the category: classify the first culture characteristic X1 and the second culture characteristic X2 into N different culture types through the two-dimensional coordinate axis, and the difference in the number of culture characteristics in each two culture types is less than 20; where N∈(4,16), select the culture characteristic F at the center from each culture type ij , F ij Included and F ij represents the culture characteristics at the center of the i×j-th culture type, and They represent the first culture characteristic value and the second culture characteristic value at the center of the i×j-th culture type, and the following identification rules are established:
[0065]
[0066]
[0067] in, represents the first culture characteristic value of the input, Represents the second culture characteristic value of the input.
[0068] Step S4 is to obtain the summarized culture types by classifying the culture characteristics, so as to facilitate rapid adjustment of the culture methods in the subsequent steps.
[0069] S5: Use database analysis to classify the mixed features into multiple mixed types, and establish judgment rules based on the mixed types judged by professionals: input the first analysis feature Y1 and the second analysis feature Y2 into the established database, classify the mixed features into M different mixed types through the numerical value Z output by the database, select one of the M mixed types, and determine the numerical value Z output by the database corresponding to the selected mixed type, and establish the following judgment rules:
[0070]
[0071] in, represents the first analyzed eigenvalue of the input, represents the value of the input second analysis feature, q represents the first analysis feature value adjustment factor, and p represents the second analysis feature value adjustment factor.
[0072] In step S5, a database is established using currently known cell culture mixing methods, and a value is assigned according to the effect of the mixing method in the database, that is, the value Z output by the database, and then the mixing characteristics are classified into M different mixing types according to the value Z output by the database.
[0073] S6: Establish an operation order for the judgment rule and the identification rule: take the judgment rule as the first operation rule, and when the judgment rule can be operated, start to operate the identification rule, so as to establish a composite judgment rule.
