Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a method for preventing disulfide bond reduction in proteins and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are a commonly used mammalian cell expression system in biopharmaceutical production, particularly in the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Antibodies are composed of two light chains and two heavy chains, which are linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Under normal circumstances, these disulfide bonds are stable, maintaining the tetrameric structure of the antibody. However, during cell harvesting and / or Protein A chromatography steps, reduction of interchain disulfide bonds can occur.

[0003] Antibody disulfide bond reduction is essentially a reversible redox reaction initiated by intracellular enzymes. The thioredoxin (Trx) system and the glutathione (GSH) system are the two known enzyme systems involved in disulfide bond reduction. Their primary function is to maintain the intracellular redox environment and prevent oxidative stress damage. Figure 1 This is the mechanism by which the Trx system and GSH system regulate disulfide bond reduction.

[0004] In order to prevent antibody reduction, measures such as introducing a certain amount of air, cooling before harvesting, or adding EDTA / Cu are usually taken during the harvesting stage of antibody production. 2+ To prevent the reduction of antibody disulfide bonds from breaking, measures such as adding EDTA are used to prevent reduction, and additives need to be removed in the later purification. Therefore, the commonly used anti-reduction measure is to introduce a certain amount of air into the harvesting container during the harvesting process. Considering that the solubility of oxygen in water (about 0.25 mmol / L at 25°C) is very low, and the mass transfer coefficient (KLa) of the harvesting system (disposable mixing bag / stainless steel harvesting tank) is also very low, even under air-ventilated conditions, the dissolved oxygen (DO) level in the harvesting system often cannot quickly reach the lower limit of DO control requirements (>40%). In addition, due to the characteristics of some proteins that are easily reduced, and when the NADPH (reducing power) concentration in the harvesting fluid is high (over 0.5 mmol / L), the risk of protein reduction is higher, so the DO control requirements in the system are higher.

[0005] Existing methods for assessing protein reduction risk include adding varying concentrations of reducing agents to the target protein, adding varying concentrations of cell lysate to the target protein, and aerating the bottle containing clarified harvested target protein. These methods are qualitative and cannot provide production departments with quantitative anti-reduction strategies, such as the required aeration volume and the desired DO control level.

[0006] In summary, how to provide a method to quickly, comprehensively and accurately control the DO level in protein solutions, thereby preventing the reduction of disulfide bonds in proteins, has become one of the urgent problems to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for preventing the reduction of disulfide bonds in proteins and its application. A combination of oxygen and nitrogen is used to control the dissolved oxygen level in the harvesting tank. Compared with using only air, the ratio of oxygen and nitrogen can be adjusted arbitrarily, and the dissolved oxygen level can be adjusted and controlled more accurately and quickly. A small-scale system for quickly and accurately controlling DO levels is established in the laboratory and applied to large-scale antibody production.

[0008] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preventing the reduction of disulfide bonds in proteins, the method comprising: introducing oxygen and nitrogen into a solution containing protein, and adjusting the dissolved oxygen level in the solution to a preset value, wherein the preset dissolved oxygen level is 10% to 120%.

[0010] Existing large-scale production harvesting typically uses stainless steel tanks or disposable liquid storage bags as harvesting tanks. These have the disadvantage of lacking DO feedback regulation and DO monitoring functions, and the KLa of the harvesting tank is relatively low. Therefore, using the air anti-reduction method, for certain harvesting liquids with high reducing power, it is impossible to quickly increase the dissolved oxygen concentration to the required DO level to meet the dissolved oxygen concentration required for certain molecular anti-reduction. As a result, even if air is ventilated during harvesting, it is impossible to prevent the reduction of recombinant proteins. The present invention uses a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen to increase the oxygen concentration difference at the gas-liquid interface, thereby achieving the desired DO level more quickly under conditions where KLa cannot be increased.

[0011] In addition to reduction, recombinant proteins may also undergo oxidation reactions. For example, the oxidation of histidine in antibodies can cause changes in the antibody charge, solubility, and immunogenicity. The oxidation of tryptophan causes an increase in antibody aggregates, etc. Therefore, when using ventilation to prevent reduction, the DO may be too high, causing protein oxidation. The present invention adopts a ventilation method that combines oxygen and nitrogen. By adjusting the ratio of oxygen and nitrogen, it ensures that the DO does not exceed a certain set limit, thereby avoiding protein oxidation caused by excessive DO during ventilation.

[0012] When the method of the present invention is applied to determine the aeration strategy for large-scale protein production, the optimal dissolved oxygen level in the solution is unknown. In this case, the preset value is 10% to 120% (for example, it can be 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 80%, 100%, or 120%, etc.), and the preset value is determined through multiple parallel experiments. When the method of the present invention is applied to a known optimal dissolved oxygen level, the dissolved oxygen level of the protein solution is controlled to prevent protein reduction or oxidation. In this case, the preset value is the optimal dissolved oxygen level.

[0027] To expand the applicability of the specific control model provided by this invention, a gas flow rate control device is added before the mixed gas to adjust the volume ratio of oxygen and nitrogen, thereby adapting it to different proteins and different production conditions. In this control model, the volume ratio of oxygen and nitrogen was determined through preliminary experiments and ranged from 1:0 to 0:1 for O2:N2.

These two models are used to establish a quantitative anti-reduction assessment model for recombinant proteins. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0085] S2. Aeration is performed using the method for preventing disulfide bond reduction in proteins provided in Example 1 or Example 2. The aeration time is the same as the storage time of the antibody in the harvest tank during large-scale antibody production to adjust the dissolved oxygen level in the solution;

[0087] Test Example 1

[0088] This test example uses the methods provided in Example 1 and Example 2 to adjust the protein solution to a DO value of 50%.

The DO value has an overcharge phenomenon, and the overcharge range is about 5%. The DO control curve of Example 2 is shown as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the rotation speed of the stirring device is 250 rpm, and the set DO value is reached in about 25 minutes, which is slightly slower than that in Example 1, but the DO control is more stable and there is no DO overcharge phenomenon.

[0090] This test example uses the method provided in Example 3 to determine the ventilation strategy for antibody scale production based on the method for providing ventilation strategies in Example 1 and Example 2, thereby preventing disulfide bond reduction from occurring during antibody scale production. Different DO levels (0%, 10%, 30%) are simulated in a small-scale system, and samples are collected at different time points (0, 6h, 24h, 48h). Protein bands are observed by SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis analysis to assess whether the antibody is reduced or oxidized. The test results are shown in FIG. Figure 6 shown.

[0091] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the antibodies in the positive control, Example 1, and Example 2 did not reduce at the 0h sampling point. After 6h, the positive control (DO controlled at 0%) showed some reduction of the antibodies. However, after 6h, the antibodies did not reduce at the DO levels of Example 1 (10%) and Example 2 (30%), and this experimental result was maintained for 48h. Therefore, ≥10% can be selected as the ventilation strategy for large-scale antibody production.
