Abstract

The production of recombinant proteins for clinical applications using mammalian cell technology has become a prevalent system because of its capacity in assembling functional proteins.  One of the main problems with CHO-K1 cells is that this cell has to grow in the presence of serum. However, the presence of serum will complicate the downstream step for protein production. Thus, protein produced in media without serum, theoretically, would be easier to purify.  Technically, this type of cell can be produced by growing the CHO-K1 cells in serum-free media by using adaptation method in suspension condition. This research showed that through sequential adaptation using conditioned media, the CHO-K1 cell line that produces the human erythropoietin gene (hEPO) was able to grow in suspension culture using serum-free media.  Based on Western blot analysis, it showed that the protein (hEPO) was able to be expressed in suspension culture with molecular mass of about 47 kDa.

Abstract

A molecular docking study demonstrates the interaction between naringin, a citrus flavonoid, with SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD. Nevertheless, in vitro investigation of the inhibitory effect of naringin on SARS-CoV-2 entry and syncytia models has yet to be carried out. We synthesized VSV∆G-GFP/Spike* pseudovirus (PSV) as a SARS-CoV-2 model by pseudotyping VSV∆G-GFP/S* in BHK-21 cells overexpressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. In the SARS-CoV-2 PSV entry assay, we utilized CHO-K1 cells transfected with hACE2 plasmid, which were then treated with naringin and SARS-CoV-2 PSV/naringin. After 16-18 h incubation, PSV internalization represented by the GFP signal was observed under a fluorescence microscope. Immunofluorescence staining was also performed to probe the SARS-CoV-2 spike and confirm the PSV entry. We performed a syncytia assay using 293T cells co-transfected with SARS-CoV-2 spike/hACE2. Six hours after transfection, the cells were treated with naringin and incubated for another 16-18 hours. Then, we observed syncytia using a phase contrast microscope. Based on fluorescence foci quantification, the results indicated that naringin might inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PSV entry at a concentration of 100 µM (P<0.05). However, naringin did not prevent syncytia formation compared to solvent control. These PSV entry and syncytia assay results suggested that naringin potentially inhibited SARS-CoV-2 viral infection but not cell-to-cell viral transmission.
