In this study, a hybrid cell line development platform was developed to increase the productivity of targeted integrants through the amplification of transgene copies. The results showed that targeted integrants exhibited a 3.6-fold increase in EGFP expression and increased copy numbers of DHFR and EGFP when exposed to 200 nM MTX. A single-step MTX amplification increased the specific monoclonal antibody productivity by 2.8-fold. The study provides a new strategy for increasing the productivity of CHO cell lines.
Site-specific integration has emerged as a promising strategy for streamlined and predictable Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line development (CLD). However, the low specific productivity of the targeted integrants limits their practical application. In this study, we developed a hybrid CLD platform combining site-specific integration of a transgene and dihydrofolate reductase/methotrexate (DHFR/MTX)-mediated gene amplification to generate high-producing recombinant CHO cell lines. We used the CRISPR/Cas9-based recombinase-mediated cassette exchange landing pad platform to integrate the DHFR expression cassette and transgene landing pad into a CHO genomic hot spot, C12orf35 locus, of DHFR-knockout CHO-K1 host cell lines. When subjected to various MTX concentrations up to 1 mu M, EGFP-expressing targeted integrants showed a 3.6-fold increase in EGFP expression in the presence of 200 nM MTX, accompanied by an increase in the DHFR and EGFP copy number. A single-step 200 nM MTX amplification increased the specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) productivity (q ( mAb )) of recombinant mAb-producing targeted integrants by 2.8-folds, reaching a q ( mAb ) of 9.1-11.0 pg/cell/day. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed colocalization of DHFR and mAb sequences at the intended chromosomal locations without clear amplified arrays of signals. Most MTX-amplified targeted integrants sustained recombinant mAb production during long-term culture in the absence of MTX, supporting stable gene expression in the amplified cell lines. Our study provides a new CLD platform that increases the productivity of targeted integrants by amplifying the transgene copies.
