Intracellular proteolysis in mammalian cells is a native cellular
strategy to recycle proteins and peptides. Whether or not this mechanism
may hamper monoclonal antibody (mAb) formation in Chinese hamster ovary
(CHO) cells was the key driver for this study. Exponentially growing,
anti-interleukin (IL)-8 producing CHO cells were fed with C-13-labeled
L-lysine. The fate of the labeling signal was tracked in intracellular
peptides, which were the proteolytic fragments of the mAb. Signal
analysis was performed in samples after cell disruption, anion exchange
SPE and Q-ToF mass detection. Four degradation peptides were found, with
HYTQKSLSLSPGK and HYTQKSLSLSPG containing two and one L-lysine unit (K),
respectively. Labeling dynamics were used for model-based identification
of the degradation rate in four biological replicates. Degradation rates
of 22-25 pmol/10(8)cells/h were estimated, representing about 3\% of the
net mAb production. Hence, intracellular mAb degradation occurs even
under the rather smooth production conditions installed.
