Biopharmaceutical-Type Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Cultivation Under Static Magnetic Field Exposure: A Study of Genotoxic Effect

The lack of a sufficient research base is the reason for the ongoing discussion regarding the genotoxic effect of magnetic field (MF) exposure on mammalian cell cultures. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) suspension-type cells, which are widely used for biopharmaceutical production, are potentially subjec...

Biopharmaceutical-Type Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Cultivation Under Static Magnetic Field Exposure: A Study of Genotoxic Effect
description The lack of a sufficient research base is the reason for the ongoing discussion regarding the genotoxic effect of magnetic field (MF) exposure on mammalian cell cultures. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) suspension-type cells, which are widely used for biopharmaceutical production, are potentially subjected to an increased MF when cultivated in bioreactors equipped with bottom-placed magnetically coupled stirring mechanisms. The main challenge for conducting research in this field remains the availability of a suitable experimental setup that generates an appropriate MF for the raised research question. In the present study, a simple and cost-effective experimental setup was developed that generated a static MF, similar to what has been modeled in large-scale bioreactors and, at the same time, was suitable for experimental cell cultivation in laboratory conditions. The measured maximum magnetic flux density to which the cells were exposed was 0.66 T. To assess the possible genotoxic effect, cells were continuously subcultivated in laboratory petri dishes for a period of 14 days, corresponding to a typical duration of a biopharmaceutical production process in a conventional fed-batch regime.
