Therapeutic proteins are a developing part of the modern biopharmaceutical industry, providing novel therapies to intractable diseases including cancers and autoimmune diseases. The human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cell line has been widely used to produce recombinant proteins in both basic science and industry. The heterogeneity of glycan structures is one of the most challenging issues in the production of therapeutic proteins. Previously, we knocked out genes encoding α1,2-mannosidase-Is, MAN1A1, MAN1A2 and MAN1B1, in HEK293 cells, establishing a triple-knockout (T-KO) cell line, which produced recombinant protein with mainly high-mannose-type N-glycans. Here, we further knocked out MAN1C1 and MGAT1 encoding another Golgi α1,2-mannosidase-I and N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-I, respectively, based on the T-KO cells. Two recombinant proteins, lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA) and immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), were expressed in the quadruple-KO (QD-KO) and quintuple-KO (QT-KO) cell lines. Glycan structural analysis revealed that all the hybrid-type and complex-type N-glycans were eliminated, and only the high-mannose-type N-glycans were detected among the recombinant proteins prepared from the QD-KO and QT-KO cells. Overexpression of the oncogenes MYC and MYCN recovered the slow growth in QD-KO and QT-KO without changing the glycan structures. Our results suggest that these cell lines could be suitable platforms to produce homogeneous therapeutic proteins.
治疗性蛋白是现代生物制药行业的一个新兴领域,为癌症和自身免疫性疾病等难治性疾病提供了新的治疗方法。人胚肾 293(HEK293)细胞系已广泛用于基础科学和工业生产重组蛋白。糖基化结构的异质性是治疗性蛋白生产中最具挑战性的问题之一。先前,我们敲除了编码α1,2-甘露糖苷酶-Is 的基因,MAN1A1、MAN1A2 和 MAN1B1,在 HEK293 细胞中,建立了一个三重敲除(T-KO)细胞系,该细胞系产生的重组蛋白主要带有高甘露糖型 N-糖基化。在这里,我们进一步敲除了编码另一种高尔基α1,2-甘露糖苷酶-I 和 N-乙酰葡萄糖胺转移酶-I 的 MAN1C1 和 MGAT1,基于 T-KO 细胞。两种重组蛋白,溶酶体酸性脂肪酶(LIPA)和免疫球蛋白 G1(IgG1),在四重敲除(QD-KO)和五重敲除(QT-KO)细胞系中表达。糖基化结构分析表明,所有的杂合型和复合型 N-糖基化都被消除了,只有高甘露糖型 N-糖基化在从 QD-KO 和 QT-KO 细胞制备的重组蛋白中被检测到。癌基因 MYC 和 MYCN 的过表达恢复了 QD-KO 和 QT-KO 的缓慢生长,而糖基化结构没有改变。我们的结果表明,这些细胞系可能是生产均一治疗性蛋白的合适平台。
