• Adaptation of a fed-batch protocol to a CHO-MAb cell line.
• Autophagy inhibition doubled fed-batch production.
• Gradual increase of osmolality doubled fed-batch production.
• Combining autophagy inhibition and osmolality did not increase production.
• MAb glycosylation patterns were not substantially changed by these treatments.
Modulating autophagy provides a new method to increase CHO cell protein production. A fed-batch protocol using the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyl adenine (3-MA), developed for a tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) expressing DHFR based CHO cell line, was successfully adapted to a monoclonal antibody (MAb) expressing CHOK1-SV based CHO cell line. By optimizing the timing and dose of 3-MA treatment, the cell-specific productivity was increased 4-fold, resulting in 2-fold increased total MAb production. The positive effect of the 3-MA treatment appeared to be reduced when the amino acid feed concentration was increased 5-fold. Further investigation revealed that by slowly increasing osmolality up to ∼450 mOsm/kg, both the cell-specific productivity and the total MAb almost doubled. This effect was replicated with a DUXB-based CHO cell line expressing a human–llama chimeric antibody. The positive effect of gradually increasing osmolality was then combined with the positive effects of the 3-MA treatment, however their combined effect were not additive. Thus, either increased osmolality or 3-MA treatment were equally effective in increasing MAb-CHO cell fed-batch production on the cell lines tested. Analysis of protein glycosylation showed that both of these fed-batch modifications did not substantially influence the overall glycan profiles of the MAb product.
