    Notes: The intracellular pool of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine has been shown to act as a central target during the inhibitory action of ammonium ions in vitro cultivated mammalian cell cultures. This pool has been demonstrated to be elevated at the end of a batch cultivation and very quickly as a response to exogenously applied ammonium chloride by using four different cell lines (hybridoma, BHK, CHO, and Ltk-929). The amount of enlarged UDP aminohexoses is correlated to the inhibitor concentration and additionally dependent on the cell line. The formation of the UDP sugars is associated with a transient reduction of the UTP pool. Moreover, the quick formation of UDP-GNAc is strictly dependent on the presence of glucose and ammonium. Both metabolites act as biochemical precursors. Additionally, the formation of UDP-GNAc after ammonium application has been shown to increase with an elevated cultivation pH and to be independent of the inhibition of transcription and translation processes. The intracellular amount of UDP-GNAc correlates with the level of growth inhibition in mammalian cell lines. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Intracellular analysis has been shown to be useful as a tool for control production processes based on in vitro cultivated hybridoma and recombinant animal cells. Nucleotides were found to present the best target as they reflect the exact physiological state of a culture. Following the progress of batch, perfused, and chemostat cultures cell specific regularities were found in various biochemical correlations which allowed the generation of three characteristic parameters based on the interaction of particular nucleotides: the nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) ratio ([ATP + GTP]/[UTP + CTP]), the uridine (U) ratio (UTP/UDP-GNAc), and the combined ratio NTP/U ([UDP-GNAc (ATP + GTP)/ UTP (UTP + CTP)]). These allowed a direct description of the growth cycle by means of specific values or behavior for every phase of the culture. In particular, the critical phase of entrance into the phase of reduced growth was predicted up to 24 h earlier than was possible with the classical method of microscopic cell control. A specific function for the application of in vitro cultivated processes is proposed with an NTP-to-U plot which combines the results obtained by the cell analysis and which offers a tool for the control and regulaiton of cell growth-derived procedures. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract Temperature reduction in CHO cell batch culture may be beneficial in the production of recombinant protein and in maintenance of viability. The effects on cell cycle, apoptosis and nucleotide pools were studied in cultures initiated at 37°C and temperature shifted to 30 °C after 48 hours. In control cultures maintained at 37 °C, viable cells continued to proliferate until the termination of the culture, however, temperature reduction caused a rapid decrease in the percent of cells in S phase and accumulation of cells in G-1. This was accompanied by a concurrent reduction in U ratio (UTO/UDP-GNAc), previously shown to be a sensitive indicator of growth rate. Culture viability was extended following temperature shift, as a result of delayed onset of apoptosis, however, once initiated, the rate and manner of cell death was similar to that observed at 37 °C. All nucleotide pools were similarly degraded at the time of apoptotic cell death. Temperature reduction to 30 °C did not decrease the energy charge of the cells, however, the overall rate of metabolism was reduced. The latter may be sufficient to extend culture viability via a reduction in toxic metabolites and/or limitation of nutrient deprivation. However, the possibility remains that the benefits of temperature reduction in terms of both viability and productivity are more directly associated with cultures spending extended time in G-1.

    Notes: Ajoene (4,5,9-trithiadodeca-1,6,11-triene-9-oxide), a garlic-derived natural compound, which had been shown to have cytostatic/cytotoxic properties, was tested with a B cell lymphoma-derived cell line (BJA-B cells) in order to elucidate its mechanism of cytotoxic action. Viability of the cells was determined by the Trypan blue exclusion test and the colorimetric tetrazolium (MTT) assay, whereas metabolic disturbance was evaluated by measuring the pools of reduced (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and the acidic amino acids, Glu and Asp. Fast uptake of ajoene was accompanied by an immediate reduction of the CSH and increase in the GSSG levels. The extent of these changes, as well as the further development of the metabolite pools, depended on the ajoene dose per cell. At a sublethal ajoene dose the GSH and GSSG pools rose at the later stages to levels much higher than in the control experiment. Bleb formation at the cytoplasmic membrane was a further rapid phenomenon, although injuries detected by Trypan blue exclusion developed only at a later stage. The MTT assay, performed in a parallel experiment (48 h after ajoene addition), showed, however, that reduction of cell viability was established at the very beginning of ajoene exposure. Altogether, the action of ajoene strongly resembled oxidative stress (i.e., interference with SH homeostasis and its pleiotropic consequences to cell physiology and metabolism). © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
