Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biopharmaceutical Development

Background:

  • Transient gene expression offers a rapid alternative to stable cell lines for early-stage biopharmaceutical production.
  • Optimizing gene delivery methods is crucial for maximizing protein yields and ensuring cell viability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an efficient transient gene expression methodology using DC-Chol/DOPE cationic liposomes and pDNA in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) suspension cells.
  • To optimize lipoplex formation conditions by modulating liposome and pDNA solutions for enhanced protein production and reduced cytotoxicity.

Main Methods:

  • Screening of diverse lipoplex formation conditions, including varying pH of complexation solutions.
  • Characterization of liposomes and lipoplexes using dynamic light scattering (DLS) to analyze hydrodynamic size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential.
  • Evaluation of protein expression and cellular cytotoxicity post-transfection using fluorescence analysis to trace lipoplex transfer and conformation.

Main Results:

  • Successfully produced up to 1785 mg/L of human Fc protein and 191 mg/L of immunoglobulin G (bevacizumab).
  • Achieved high yields using a specific combination of acidic liposome formation and alkaline pDNA solutions.
  • Demonstrated effective lipoplex transfer to the cytosol and maintained conformation during early transfection stages.

Conclusions:

  • The developed lipoplex formation strategy using specific pH conditions is an effective methodology for transient gene delivery.
  • This approach provides a promising and efficient gene delivery strategy for biopharmaceutical production in CHO cells.
  • The optimized transient gene expression system accelerates the early-stage development of biopharmaceutical candidates.
