CHO CellMetabolic Model
Discussion:• Using a preliminary GEM for CHO-S metabolism, there are key shifts seen in late-stage exponential phase.• Large decreases are seen in linked amino acid metabolism after the 72 hour time point, suggesting many anabolic processes slow down during late-exponential phase.• The production of biomass, linked to growth rate, peaks at 108 hours, de-spite decreases in amino acid metabolism, which suggests other amino acid demands play a significant role during exponential growth.
Conclusion:• The BioNetView pipeline can be used to map high throughput data onto GEMs and statistically assess biochemical shifts in pathways.• The pipeline has been applied to CHO-cell batch growth experiments to assess the genome-scale metabolic state of the late-exponential phase, and has suggested biochemical pathways to experiment with.• This pipeline can enable quality assurance and assess inefficiencies see throughout the culture process, potentially motivating improvements in CHO cell bioprocessing.
Future:• We anticipate new pathways to be seen in shifts as we run this analysis with the upcoming, larger community CHO GEM.References:1Lewis, Nathan E., Harish Nagarajan, and Bernhard O. Palsson.

Abstract:• CHO cells are the primary hosts for production of many human recombinant proteins. However, our incomplete understanding of CHO cell metabolism has limited our ability to rationally enhance transgene expression and limit the se-cretion of toxic byproducts.• Therefore, there is a need for rigorous assessment of the molecular mecha-nisms that affect production objectives and eventually introduces enough metabolic inefficiencies to decrease bioproduct yield.• We present an analysis pipeline that characterizes this diversity by using time course exo-metabolomics and genome-scale, mass-balance models of CHO cell metabolism to visualize shifts in reaction pathways, such as glycolytic and oxi-dative metabolism versus anabolic pathways of growth and protein produc-tion, in order to comprehensively characterize CHO metabolism during batch culture for the first time.
Background:• Protein producing CHO cells have a fundamental trade-off between anabolic processes, such as producing cell growth precursors, and protein production.• Genome-scale models(GEMs) have been usedto map high-throughputdata onto a genome-scale perspectiveperspectives of cell meta-bolism1.• Extracellular samplingof the metabolites in themedia can provide input/output constraints forGEMs2.• Sampled flux distributions of reactions can be used to assess the metabolic capacity of the cell at different phases of the batch run3.

Results:• From 72 hours to 120 hours of batch culture, we assess the transition of CHO-S cell metabolism from late-stage exponential into stationary phase.• Yellow clusters are significant; red is high flux and blue is low flux• Linked pathways with decreasing metabolic flux entering stationary phase:
• There are non-significant decreasing shifts seen in vitamin A, folate, pyru-vate metabolism and amino acid exchange.• Pathways with increasing metabolic flux entering stationary phase.
• There are non-significant increasing shifts seen in glycolysis, diacylglycerol synthesis, and glycine metabolism.
