MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate multiple aspects of cell physiology. The differential expression of conserved miRNAs in two Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines producing recombinant proteins was examined relative to the CHO-K1 cell line. A total of 190 conserved CHO miRNAs were identified through homology with known human and rodent miRNAs. More than 80% of these miRNAs showed differential expression in recombinant CHO cell lines. The small RNA sequencing data were analyzed in context of the CHO-K1 genome to examine miRNA organization and develop sequence-specific miRNA resources for CHO cells. The identification and characterization of CHO miRNAs will facilitate the use of miRNA tools in cell line engineering efforts to improve product yield and quality.
微小 RNA(miRNAs)是调节细胞生理多个方面的小型非编码 RNA。相对于 CHO-K1 细胞系,对产生重组蛋白的两个中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞系中保守 miRNAs 的差异表达进行了研究。通过与已知的人和啮齿动物 miRNAs 的同源性,鉴定出了总共 190 个保守的 CHO miRNAs。这些 miRNAs 中有超过 80%在重组 CHO 细胞系中表现出差异表达。根据 CHO-K1 基因组对小 RNA 测序数据进行了分析,以研究 miRNA 组织并为 CHO 细胞开发序列特异性 miRNA 资源。CHO miRNAs 的鉴定和表征将有助于在细胞系工程中使用 miRNA 工具来提高产品产量和质量。
