Abstract
Introduction: To bring cultivated beef to the market, a scalable system that can support growth of bovine satellite cells (bSCs) in a serum-free and preferably also animal-free medium is of utmost importance. The use of microcarriers (MCs) is, at the moment, one of the most promising technologies for scaling up. MCs offer a large surface to volume ratio, they can be used in scalable stirred tank bioreactors, where the culture conditions can be tightly controlled to meet the cells' requirements (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen). The inherent capacity of the cells to migrate from one MC to another, also known as bead-to-bead transfer, facilitates a scale-up strategy involving MCs. Previous studies have shown growth of bSCs on three commercially available MCs in serum containing media. Unfortunately there is currently no information available regarding their growth on MCs in serum-free conditions.
Methods: In this study, we aimed to find suitable serum-free media, MCs and attachment promoting compounds (APCs) supporting the growth of bSCs. Initially, six commercial MCs and three serum-free media were evaluated. The effects of three APCs were compared (vitronectin, laminin and fibronectin). Subsequently, the effects of different concentrations and modes of addition of the best performing APC were investigated.
Results and discussion: Our results showed that Cytodex 1, Synthemax II and CellBIND supported bSCs' growth in all serum-free media. Overall, better growth was observed with Cytodex 1 in serum-free proliferation media. We showed that the use of laminin or vitronectin with Cytodex 1 can significantly improve cell growth and purity. Laminin also allowed attachment and growth of bSCs on Plastic MCs which had been previously unsuccessful without APCs. Finally, we optimized the use of vitronectin from a sustainability and process perspective, and showed that it can be used solely as a coating for Cytodex 1 (16-100 ng/cm2) MCs, instead of as a medium supplement, enhancing cell attachment and proliferation.
期刊介绍：
The translation of new discoveries in medicine to clinical routine has never been easy. During the second half of the last century, thanks to the progress in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, we have seen the development and the application of a large number of drugs and devices aimed at the treatment of symptoms, blocking unwanted pathways and, in the case of infectious diseases, fighting the micro-organisms responsible. However, we are facing, today, a dramatic change in the therapeutic approach to pathologies and diseases. Indeed, the challenge of the present and the next decade is to fully restore the physiological status of the diseased organism and to completely regenerate tissue and organs when they are so seriously affected that treatments cannot be limited to the repression of symptoms or to the repair of damage. This is being made possible thanks to the major developments made in basic cell and molecular biology, including stem cell science, growth factor delivery, gene isolation and transfection, the advances in bioengineering and nanotechnology, including development of new biomaterials, biofabrication technologies and use of bioreactors, and the big improvements in diagnostic tools and imaging of cells, tissues and organs.
In today`s world, an enhancement of communication between multidisciplinary experts, together with the promotion of joint projects and close collaborations among scientists, engineers, industry people, regulatory agencies and physicians are absolute requirements for the success of any attempt to develop and clinically apply a new biological therapy or an innovative device involving the collective use of biomaterials, cells and/or bioactive molecules. “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” aspires to be a forum for all people involved in the process by bridging the gap too often existing between a discovery in the basic sciences and its clinical application.
