MOI对HEK293细胞感染病毒后的生长代谢和腺病毒扩增效率的影响

分别在方瓶贴壁和转瓶悬浮二种培养模式下,考察了感染复数(Multiplicity of Infection,MOI)对HEK293细胞感染病毒后的生长代谢和腺病毒扩增效率的影响。通过实验发现,感染病毒后的细胞跟未感染病毒相比较,其细胞生长受到严重限制,但仍然保持着旺盛的代谢活动。结果表明:MOI对细胞感染病毒后的生长代谢和腺病毒扩增效率有显著影响。随着MOI增加,细胞死亡速率增加,其代谢速率也普遍上升。同时,MOI增加能有效地提高病毒感染率和单位细胞病毒颗粒数扩增效率,但过高的MOI亦会降低病毒滴度扩增效率,从而影响病毒包装质量。

Effects of Cell Density and Microenvironment on Stem Cell Mitochondria Transfer among Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and HEK293 Tumorigenic Cells

Stem cells (SC) are largely known for their potential to restore damaged tissue through various known mechanisms. Among these mechanisms is their ability to transfer healthy mitochondria to injured cells to rescue them. This mitochondrial transfer plays a critical role in the healing process. To determine the optimal parameters for inducing mitochondrial transfer between cells, we assessed mitochondrial transfer as a function of seeding density and in two-dimensional (2D) and semi three-dimensional (2.5D) culture models. Since mitochondrial transfer can occur through direct contact or secretion, the 2.5D culture model utilizes collagen to provide cells with a more physiologically relevant extracellular matrix and offers a more realistic representation of cell attachment and movement. Results demonstrate the dependence of mitochondrial transfer on cell density and the distance between donor and recipient cell. Furthermore, the differences found between the transfer of mitochondria in 2D and 2.5D microenvironments suggest an optimal mode of mitochondria transport. Using these parameters, we explored the effects on mitochondrial transfer between SCs and tumorigenic cells. HEK293 (HEK) is an immortalized cell line derived from human embryonic kidney cells which grow rapidly and form tumors in culture. Consequently, HEKs have been deemed tumorigenic and are widely used in cancer research. We observed mitochondrial transfer from SCs to HEK cells at significantly higher transfer rates when compared to a SC–SC co-culture system. Interestingly, our results also revealed an increase in the migratory ability of HEK cells when cultured with SCs. As more researchers find co-localization of stem cells and tumors in the human body, these results could be used to better understand their biological relationship and lead to enhanced therapeutic applications.     

The Inflammasome Activity of NLRP3 Is Independent of NEK7 in HEK293 Cells Co-Expressing ASC

The cytosolic immune receptor NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat (LRR), and pyrin domain (PYD)-containing protein 3) oligomerizes into the core of a supramolecular complex termed inflammasome in response to microbes and danger signals. It is thought that NLRP3 has to bind NEK7 (NIMA (never in mitosis gene a)-related kinase 7) to form a functional inflammasome core that induces the polymerization of the adaptor protein ASC (Apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (caspase recruitment domain)), which is a hallmark for NLRP3 activity. We reconstituted the NLRP3 inflammasome activity in modified HEK293 (human embryonic kidney 293) cells and showed that the ASC speck polymerization is independent of NEK7 in the context of this cell system. Probing the interfaces observed in the different, existing structural models of NLRP3 oligomers, we present evidence that the NEK7-independent, constitutively active NLRP3 inflammasome core in HEK293 cells may resemble a stacked-torus-like hexamer seen for NLRP3 lacking its PYD (pyrin domain).

Proteomic Landscape of Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-Producing HEK293 Cells

Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are widely used for gene therapy, providing treatment for diseases caused by absent or defective genes. Despite the success of gene therapy, AAV manufacturing is still challenging, with production yields being limited. With increased patient demand, improvements in host cell productivity through various engineering strategies will be necessary. Here, we study the host cell proteome of AAV5-producing HEK293 cells using reversed phase nano-liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS/MS). Relative label-free quantitation (LFQ) was performed, allowing a comparison of transfected vs. untransfected cells. Gene ontology enrichment and pathway analysis revealed differential expression of proteins involved in fundamental cellular processes such as metabolism, proliferation, and cell death. Furthermore, changes in expression of proteins involved in endocytosis and lysosomal degradation were observed. Our data provides highly valuable insights into cellular mechanisms involved during recombinant AAV production by HEK293 cells, thus potentially enabling further improvements of gene therapy product manufacturing.
