Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a method for constructing and applying a low-serum culture medium for MDCK cells based on KAN modeling and Bayesian optimization. Background Technology

[0002] MDCK cell lines, due to their high sensitivity to various viruses and stable growth characteristics, have become the core cell matrix for the production of viral vaccines such as influenza vaccines. Currently, industrial MDCK cell culture mainly uses culture media supplemented with 10%-20% fetal bovine serum (FBS). This high-serum culture mode has significant drawbacks: First, FBS is expensive, accounting for a large proportion of the total cost of the culture medium; second, as a biologically derived product, FBS has a complex composition and large batch-to-batch variability, directly affecting the stability of cell growth and virus yield, increasing the difficulty and risk of quality control in the production process; finally, the large amount of contaminating proteins in serum burdens the downstream virus isolation and purification.

[0003] To address these challenges, developing culture media with clearly defined chemical compositions and low or serum-free or low-serum content has become an industry trend. However, existing culture media development technologies face several bottlenecks: First, optimization efficiency is low, with traditional trial-and-error methods or single-factor experiments requiring enormous workloads and failing to examine interactions between multiple components. Second, model capabilities are insufficient; even with Design of Experiments (DOE) and response surface methodology, the quadratic polynomial models they rely on struggle to accurately fit the complex nonlinear dose-response relationships prevalent in biological systems. Third, some existing serum-free or low-serum culture media often require a "acclimatization" process for cells to adapt to the new nutrient environment, which prolongs the process development cycle and limits the range of compatible cell lines.

[0004] In recent years, machine learning methods have been introduced into biological process optimization, but their application in culture medium development still faces problems such as poor model interpretability, insufficient consideration of biological system specificity, and weak integration with experimental iteration. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent culture medium development method that can efficiently analyze complex nutrient interactions, accurately predict cell performance, and quickly guide to optimal formulations, as well as the resulting culture medium products that can be efficiently applied without complex acclimatization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method and application for constructing low-serum culture medium for MDCK cells based on KAN modeling and Bayesian optimization. It combines Kolmogorov-Arnold network (KAN) nonlinear modeling technology with Bayesian global optimization algorithm to form a closed-loop optimization framework, so as to systematically solve the efficiency and accuracy problems in traditional culture medium development.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for constructing a low-serum culture medium for MDCK cells based on KAN modeling and Bayesian optimization includes the following steps:

[0008] (1) Screening of key components: The candidate nutrient library includes amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts, lipids and culture medium additives. Key factors that have a significant impact on the growth or function of target cells are screened out. The key factors screened out include at least three of the following: amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts, lipids and culture medium additives. The criterion for judging the significant impact is a p-value of ANOVA < 0.05.

[0009] (2) Dataset construction: Based on the selected key components, a multi-level experimental scheme is constructed using response surface design. Through cell culture experiments, a dataset of the correlation between the concentration of key components and at least one cell performance index is obtained. (3) Nonlinear relationship modeling: The dataset obtained in step (2) is trained using the Kolmogorov-Arnold network to construct a prediction model with the concentration of key components as input and the cell performance index as output. (4) Global optimization: Using the KAN prediction model constructed in step (3) as the objective function, the Bayesian optimization method is used for iterative search to determine the combination of key component concentrations that optimizes the cell performance index.

[0010] The method of this invention combines the predictive power of artificial intelligence with the search efficiency of optimization algorithms, achieving a significant reduction in experimental workload (typically more than 50%) and an improvement in optimization accuracy while ensuring biological understanding. This method is transferable; by changing the target cells and the initial nutrient component library, it can be applied to the development of culture media for other commonly used industrial cell lines such as CHO and Vero.

[0011] In another aspect, the present invention provides a low-serum culture medium for MDCK cells obtained by the above-described construction method. The core innovation of this culture medium is that its formulation is a direct product of data-driven and model-optimized methods, rather than the result of empirical adjustments.

[0031] The relevant parameters of the MDCK cells in the low-serum culture medium are as follows:

[0032] Serum content: The amount of fetal bovine serum (FBS) added is significantly reduced to 2%-4% (v / v), which is a significant reduction in cost compared to the traditional 10% dosage.

[0033] No acclimatization required: Because the formula is precisely matched to the nutritional requirements and metabolic characteristics of MDCK cells under low serum pressure, cells can be directly inoculated using conventional methods and exhibit excellent growth performance when transferred from conventional medium containing 10% FBS, without any adaptation process. This simplifies the process and shortens production preparation time.

[0034] Key components: Through optimization methods, L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, and L-asparagine were identified as key amino acids affecting the proliferation of MDCK cells in low serum environments. Their optimized concentration range and ratio are one of the core components of this culture medium's "acclimatization-free" and high-performance characteristics.

[0035] Complete formulation: In addition to key amino acids, the culture medium also contains optimized lipids, vitamins, salts, trace elements, buffer systems (such as HEPES), energy substances (such as glucose), protein / peptide supplements (such as peptone, BSA), and other growth-promoting factors (such as insulin, transferrin), forming a complete system that is nutritionally balanced and supports efficient metabolism.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0037] This invention's construction method deeply integrates KAN nonlinear modeling with Bayesian optimization, providing an efficient and precise universal solution for optimizing complex systems like cell culture media that are multi-factorial and highly nonlinear. This method significantly reduces the workload and time cost of experimental screening and optimization. FBS usage is reduced to 2%-4%, and direct raw material costs are reduced by approximately 68%. Cells can be directly transferred from conventional serum culture media, saving weeks of acclimatization time, simplifying the process, and improving production flexibility. Under low serum conditions, superior cell growth rate and virus yield are achieved compared to traditional high serum culture media. The chemical composition is more clearly defined, the formulation is optimized by the model, batch-to-batch reproducibility is good (CV≤5%), and product quality is stable. This culture medium and its optimization method provide strong technical support and product selection for the low-cost, high-efficiency, and high-quality large-scale production of biological products such as influenza vaccines, and have broad market application prospects.

[0038] The low-serum culture medium for MDCK cells obtained in this invention contains only 2%-4% (v / v) fetal bovine serum (FBS). Its formulation has been systematically optimized to directly support efficient cell growth without prior acclimatization. This medium is highly effective in promoting MDCK cell proliferation, increasing viral titers (such as influenza virus), and reducing production costs, making it suitable for large-scale vaccine production. This low-serum MDCK cell culture medium supports high-density MDCK cell growth, with a significantly shorter population doubling time than traditional high-serum media and unoptimized low-serum media, and cell viability remains at a high level (>95%) throughout the culture cycle. It is particularly suitable for the amplification of viruses such as influenza virus. After inoculation with the virus, a higher peak viral titer can be obtained, and the virus harvest time is advanced, improving production efficiency. The culture medium composition is clearly defined, and with the optimized formulation, the batch-to-batch consistency (CV value) of cell growth and virus production is far superior to media containing a high proportion of serum, meeting the quality control requirements of large-scale production. Due to the more defined composition and fewer impurities, downstream purification processes are simplified, resulting in higher recovery rates; the production cycle is shortened, and overall production capacity is increased.

[0045] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the technical solutions and accompanying drawings.

[0046] Example 1: The optimal formulation of low serum culture medium for MDCK cells was gradually obtained by applying intelligent optimization methods.

[0047] 1. Target Determination and Candidate Library Establishment

[0048] Optimization objective: To maximize the proliferation rate of MDCK cells under low serum (2% FBS) conditions.

[0049] Initial candidate nutrient component library: 27 in total, covering amino acids (such as arginine, glutamine, etc.), vitamins (such as choline, calcium pantothenate, etc.), lipid precursors (such as fatty acids, cholesterol, etc.), trace elements and other commonly used additives (such as glucose, peptone, etc.).

[0050] 2. Screening of key components (Step 1)

[0051] Experimental design: A Plackett-Burman design was used to screen 27 candidate factors at two levels (low concentration / high concentration). A total of 32 experimental runs were arranged, including 4 center points to estimate experimental error. All experiments were performed with 3 biological replicates.

[0052] Experimental procedure: Logarithmic growth phase MDCK cells were seeded into 96-well plates. After adhesion, the medium was replaced with the test medium containing different combinations of components and 2% FBS. After 72 hours of culture, cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 assay, and the relative proliferation rate was calculated.

[0053] Data Analysis: Statistical software (such as Minitab) was used to perform analysis of variance on the experimental results. Using a p-value < 0.05 as the criterion, three key factors with highly significant effects on cell proliferation were identified: L-glutamine (p = 0.00002), L-tyrosine (p = 0.00209), and L-asparagine (p = 0.00687). The model was statistically significant overall (p < 0.0023), with a high R² value, indicating effective screening.

[0054] 3. Construct the modeling dataset (Step 2)

[0055] Experimental Design: A three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken response surface methodology was employed for the three key amino acids mentioned above. Each factor was set at low, medium, and high concentrations (e.g., L-glutamine: 292.35, 584.64, 876.92 mg / L; L-tyrosine: 54.36, 108.72, 163.08 mg / L; L-asparagine: 10.57, 21.14, 31.71 mg / L). This design generated 17 experimental sites, including 5 center-point replicates to assess pure error.

[0056] Data acquisition: Prepare culture media according to the design and conduct cell culture experiments. Measure the proliferation rate of MDCK cells at each experimental point to obtain a "concentration-response" dataset for modeling.

[0057] 4. KAN Model Training and Validation (Step 3)

[0058] Model Construction: The 17 sets of data were randomly divided into a training set (12 sets) and an independent test set (5 sets). A 3-layer KAN network was built using Python and other tools (3 nodes in the input layer corresponding to the concentrations of 3 factors, 16 neurons in each of the 2 hidden layers, and 1 node in the output layer corresponding to the proliferation rate). The activation function used was the Gaussian radial basis function.

[0059] Training and Optimization: The Adam optimizer was used to train the network with an initial learning rate of 0.001, and learning rate decay was applied. L1 regularization was introduced to penalize network connection weights. After training, pruning was performed to remove redundant connections and nodes with weights below a threshold (e.g., 1e-4) to improve model simplicity and interpretability.

[0060] Model Validation: The model achieved a goodness-of-fit R² of 0.996 on the training set. More importantly, the Q²cv calculated using leave-one-out cross-validation was 0.987, and the prediction error was small on the independent test set, demonstrating that the model has excellent fitting ability and generalization performance, and can reliably predict cell proliferation rates under different combinations of the three factors.

[0061] 5. Bayesian optimization (step 4)

[0062] Optimization settings: The trained KAN model is used as the "black box" objective function to be optimized. The Bayesian optimization toolbox is used, and a Gaussian process is selected as the surrogate model to model the objective function and its uncertainties. The expected improvement (EI) is chosen as the acquisition function.

[0063] Iterative process:

[0064] In the first round, the optimization algorithm, based on the initial dataset (i.e., the 17 points of Box-Behnken) and the KAN model, recommended a new concentration combination (A1) that is expected to maximize the proliferation rate. Experimental verification showed a proliferation rate of 154.8%, which highly matched the model's predicted value of 154.7%.

[0065] In the second round, new data points (A1) were added to the training dataset, updating the KAN model and the Bayesian-optimized surrogate model. The algorithm then recommended the next optimal combination (A2). Experiments confirmed that the proliferation rate was further increased to 158.6%.

[0066] Convergence judgment: The deviation between the second round of predicted values ​​and experimental values ​​is extremely small, and the increase in proliferation rate is already very small, so the optimization is considered to have converged.

[0067] Optimal solution: Through two rounds of iteration, the optimal combination of concentrations of the three key amino acids was determined: L-glutamine 292.3 mg / L, L-tyrosine 54.36 mg / L, and L-asparagine 11.34 mg / L.
