Quantitative analysis of the supernatant from host and transfected CHO cells using iTRAQ 8‐plex technique

Abstract

We employed UPLC-MS/MS with iTRAQ 8-plex labeling to quantitatively analyze the supernatant produced by two Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines (CHO K1SV and CHO CAT-S). In each case, the supernatant from the host and three transfected clones were analyzed at days 5, 7, and 10 of culture. A total of eight iTRAQ 8-plex experiments were performed. For each cell line, the overlap of supernatant protein identifications between transfected clones is over 60%. Over 70% of the supernatant proteins in the CHO K1SV host cell line are present in the CHO CAT-S cell line. For the CHO K1SV cell line, the overlap in supernatant protein identifications between the host cell line and the transfected clones is >59%. For the CHO CAT-S cell line, the overlap between supernatant protein identifications for the transfected clone and host cell is >45%. These differences in the supernatant protein identifications between transfected clones in each cell line and between the two host cell lines are not significant. We used cluster analysis to characterize the change in supernatant protein expression as a function of cell culture time. Roughly <60% of the supernatant proteins show significant change across the three time points (ratio >1.3 or <0.7). We also used cluster analysis to compare changes in supernatant protein expression between the host and three transfected clones at each time point. Greater than 65% of the common proteins in the CHO K1SV cell line supernatant and over 54% in the CHO CAT-S cell line supernatant show no significant expression difference between host and the three transfected clones.

Linking Exoproteome Function and Structure to Anammox Biofilm Development

“…iTRAQ can perform multiplex analyses in a high-throughput manner and possesses the potential for extreme sensitivity . Currently, iTRAQ proteomics analysis has been applied exclusively to mammals, plants, and microbial communities (i.e., hamsters, diatoms, and waste-activated sludge). − It can be expected that iTRAQ technology is highly promising for identifying and quantifying extracellular proteins in anammox consortia.…”

Comprehensive analysis of host cell impurities in monoclonal antibodies with improved sensitivity by capillary zone electrophoresis mass spectrometry

“…Twenty‐four proteins were present in the nondepleted sample and were absent from the depleted sample, and are identified in the Supporting Information in the Proteins not depleted direct CZE tab. We used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) chemistry to quantify protein expression changes in the CHO secretome during culture . Most of the 24 proteins that were in the nondepleted direct CZE experiments but not identified in the depleted sample were also absent from our protein quantification study.…”

“…There have been reports of the analysis of HCPs in a recombinant humanized mAb by using CIEF‐MS/MS and CZE‐ESI‐MS/MS to identify HCPs and estimate their absolute amount . In most of these studies, the antibody was depleted before analysis to reduce the background signal from the mAb itself.…”

CHO‐Omics Review: The Impact of Current and Emerging Technologies on Chinese Hamster Ovary Based Bioproduction

“…Proteomics, through the use of mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation, has developed rapidly to become a critical tool in bioproduction through the ability to characterize proteomic signatures of high producing clones and identification of proteins and enzymatic pathways important in bio‐therapeutic protein production, growth, and metabolic processes. The ability to accurately quantitate proteins using label‐free or isobaric/Tandem Mass tagging methods has led to several studies on extracting the proteomic signature of high producing clones, host‐cell protein contaminants, secreted proteins, and sub‐proteomes such as secreted glycoproteins using click‐chemistry techniques . Sommeregger et al conducted an in‐depth proteomic and transgene delivery comparison of CHO cells expressing two similar single‐chain variable fragment antibodies with differences in thermal stability .…”
