The molecular heterogeneity of recombinant humanerythropoietin (EPO) increased during the course of abatch culture of transfected Chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cells grown in serum-free medium. This wasshown by both an increased molecular weight and pIrange of the isolated EPO at the end of the culture. However, analysis of the N-glycan structures of themolecule by fluorophore-assisted carbohydrateelectrophoresis (FACE) and HPLC anion exchangechromatography indicated a consistent pattern ofglycosylation. Seven glycoforms were identified, thepredominant structure being a fully sialylatedtetra-antennary glycan. The degree of sialylationwas maintained throughout the culture. Analysis ofthe secreted EPO indicated a time-dependent increasein the molecular weight band width of the peptideconsistent with proteolytic degradation. A highglutamine concentration (16-20 mM) in the culturedecreased the apparent degradation of the EPO.
在无血清培养基中培养的转染中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞的批培养过程中,重组人红细胞生成素(EPO)的分子异质性增加。这一点在培养结束时分离出的 EPO 的分子量和等电点范围增加上均有体现。然而,通过荧光辅助碳水化合物电泳(FACE)和高效阴离子交换色谱分析该分子的 N-聚糖结构表明,糖基化模式一致。鉴定出 7 种糖型,主要结构为完全唾液酸化的四天线聚糖。在整个培养过程中,唾液酸化程度得以维持。对分泌的 EPO 的分析表明,与蛋白水解降解一致,肽的分子量带宽度随时间呈依赖性增加。培养物中高浓度的谷氨酰胺(16-20 mM)可降低 EPO 的明显降解。
