Different media additives were used to analyze cell damage and “shear protection” characteristics of freely suspended animal cells (CRL-8018) cultured in stirred tank bioreactors. The additives used included dextran, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and methylcellulose, which are viscosity enhancers, surface active agents or combinations of these, respectively. We used these additives to study the effects of bulk viscosity and interfacial properties on cell damage or protection under conditions whereby bubble-induced cell damage becomes inhibitory to cell growth if the medium is not supplemented with a protective additive. Dextran (229 kDa, 1-3% w/v) was used to analyze the effects of increased bulk viscosity on cell damage or protection. It was found that the presence of dextran increased cell death under intense agitation. Several grades and types of derivatized methylcelluloses including Methocel A15LV (15 kDa, 0.1-0.5 w/v%), Methocel E50LV (50 kDa, 0.1% w/v), and Methocel H100LV (100 kDa, 0.25% w/v), provided shear protection. PVA (10 kDa, 0.1% w/v), which is an effective shear protectant, was used in combination with dextran and the results suggest that the interfacial properties it imparted were capable of overcoming the negative effect of dextran. We also found that in the absence of a gas-liquid interface at the surface of a sparged, stirred tank bioreactor, animal cells grown in medium that does not include additives can be agitated at rates in excess of 400 rpm without being damaged by turbulent cell-bubble interactions in the bulk. |
