1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

One major challenge observed for the expression of therapeutic bispecific antibodies (BisAbs) is high product aggregates. Aggregates increase the risk of immune responses in patients and therefore must be removed at the expense of purification yields. BisAbs contain engineered disulfide bonds, which have been demonstrated to form product aggregates, if mispaired. However, the underlying intracellular mechanisms leading to product aggregate formation remain unknown. We demonstrate that impaired glutathione regulation underlies BisAb aggregation formation in a CHO cell process. Aggregate formation was evaluated for the same clonal CHO cell line producing a BisAb using fed-batch and perfusion processes. The perfusion process produced significantly lower BisAb aggregates compared to the fed-batch process. Perfusion bioreactors attenuated mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress resulting in a favorable intracellular redox environment as indicated by improved reduced to oxidized glutathione ratio. Conversely, mitochondrial dysfunction-induced glutathione oxidation and ER stress disrupted the intracellular redox homeostasis, leading to product aggregation in the fed-batch process. Combined, our results demonstrate that mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress impaired glutathione regulation leading to higher product aggregates in the fed-batch process. This is the first study to utilize perfusion bioreactors as a tool to demonstrate the intracellular mechanisms underlying product aggregation formation.
