1. Using protein-separative chromatographic procedures and assays specific for putrescine oxidase and spermidine oxidase, adult bovine serum was found to contain a single polyamine-degrading enzyme with substrate preferences for spermidine and spermine. Apparent Km values for these substrates were approx. 40 microM. The apparent Km for putrescine was 2 mM. With spermidine as substrate, the Ki values for aminoguanidine (AM) and methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) were 70 microM and 20 microM respectively. 2. Bovine serum spermidine oxidase degraded spermine to spermidine to putrescine and N8-acetylspermidine to N-acetylputrescine. Acrolein was produced in all these reactions and recovered in quantities equivalent to H2O2 recovery. 3. Spermidine oxidase activity was present in foetal bovine serum, but increased markedly after birth to levels in adult serum that were almost 100 times the activity in foetal bovine serum. 4. Putrescine oxidase, shown to be a separate enzyme from bovine serum spermidine oxidase, was present in foetal bovine serum but absent from bovine serum after birth. This enzyme displayed an apparent Km for putrescine of 2.6 microM. The enzyme was inhibited by AM and MGBG with Ki values of 20 nM. Putrescine, cadaverine and 1,3-diaminopropane proved excellent substrates for the enzyme compared with spermidine and spermine, and N-acetylputrescine was a superior substrate to N1- or N8-acetylspermidine.

Blood proteins communicate with many different cells, tissue and organs; perform key functions in the immune system and may be of particular biological complexity. One of the most widely used blood products in the laboratory is fetal bovine serum for cell culture. There are ethical and practical concerns regarding the use of fetal serum from animals and alternative serum-free replacements have been attempted using platelet lysates. Previous biochemical experiments have shown that FBS apparently contained factors such as alpha-feto protein (AFP) and insulin-like growth factors that may support the indefinite cell growth and division of certain cell lines. It is presumed that a set of as yet undefined growth factors transform cells growth resulting in rapid proliferation. Cultured Raw cells 264.7 in adult bovine serum multiplied slowly and differentiated into elongated cells with a dendritic shape, which died after the first few generations. On the contrary, in fetal bovine serum, cultured cells multiplied rapidly and formed many smaller cells with a rounded shape through many cell passages. Three independent batches of fetal bovine serum were tested on Raw cells 264.7 macrophages to confirm that they supported cell growth in culture compared to three independent batches of adult bovine serum. The intact proteins of each serum sample were separated by partition chromatography into 16 fractions with an increasing step gradient of salts over quaternary amine resin (proteomics). The endogenous peptides were precipitated with 90% of acetonitrile and extracted into 10 fractions with a decreasing step gradient of acetonitrile in water (peptidomics). Trypsin digested intact proteins and endogenous peptides were then analyzed on a fresh C18 nano-HPLC column with random and independent sampling by LC-ESI-MS/MS. The fractionated mass spectra were identified with SEQUEST and X!TANDEM algorithms. Redundant use of MS/MS spectra were flirted out with the SQL Server system and the R statistical analysis system was used to perform Chi Square (X2) analysis of frequency counts and ANOVA of the log10 precursor intensity results. Alpha-feto protein, fetal albumin, insulin, insulin like growth factors, platelet derived growth factors and proteins associated with HRAS/AKT growth pathway at the level of ligand, receptors, receptor associated enzyme and nucleic acid binding proteins including transcription factors were observed to be specifically enriched in fetal serum.

Safety concerns over cell-derived pharmaceutical products being manufactured in supplements of fetal bovine serum (FBS) have ignited pleas to replace FBS. Herein, four newly marketed alternatives to FBS were compared: a xeno-free product called Cell-Ess®, a human platelet lysate marketed as GroPro®, and two mixtures of adult bovine serum varying in their proportions of neonatal growth factors, called Liporo® and FetalGro®. An endothelial cell line (C2BBe1) and a neuronal cell line (SHSY5Y) near confluency in media with 10% FBS were selectively scraped and taken through a 25-day step-wise algorithm to replace FBS, and another human endothelial cell line (HRA-19) was studied to replicate C2BBe1. Cells were stained, counted, and compared for viability, migration, and spheroids. The C2BBe1 and HRA-19 cell lines failed to proliferate in 10% Cell-Ess® but grew in 10% GroPro® or 10% FetalGro® reasonably well compared to reference 10% FBS. With SH-SY5Y, only FetalGro® approached FBS's efficacy. These were all inferior to 11 different branded lots of FBS (positive controls), but five days into switching just amongst the FBS brands, 4 of 11 supported less proliferation than reference FBS in endothelial HRA-19 ( p < 0.004). Moreover, neurospheres were enriched in two branded lots of FBS and FetalGro® (each p < 0.004), neurospheres being an unwanted phenotype for any neuronal cell application. Because platelet-derived GroPro® stood out amongst the non-FBS growth supplements to allow proliferation without inducing spheroids, it seems the best (mindful that the cells still grew slower in it compared to FBS). While no perfect replacement was found amongst the alternatives to FBS, the algorithm for switching should be useful in future testing of new alternatives to FBS as the need arises to switch from FBS and expand pharmaceutical products with safety for human use.

Создание эффективной унифицированной системы дозревания донорских ооцитов обеспечит повышение результативности инновационных клеточных репродуктивных технологий. В исследовании проведен сравнительный мониторинг показателеймейотического созревания ооцитов коров, созревших в различных системах, дополненных структурными компонентами фолликулов (СКФ стенки фолликулов, клетки гранулезы, белки) и фолликулярной жидкостью,а также потенций к развитию из них доимплантационных эмбрионов. Анализу подверглись ооциты, прокультивированные в следующих системах:среда ТС199 с добавлением 10 фетальной бычьей сыворотки (ФБС), 50 мкг/мл эстрадиола, 10 мкг/мл лютеинизирующего гормона (ЛГ), 10 мкг/мл фолликулостимулирующего гормона (ФСГ) среда ТС199 с 10 эстральной сывороткой коров среда ТС199 с 50 жидкости из фолликулов диаметром 9 мм среда ТС199 с добавлением белков фолликулярной жидкости молекулярной массой 65 кДасреда ТС199 с 10 ФБС и 1106 клеток гранулезы среда ТС199 с 10 ФБС и тканью фолликула. В культуральные среды ко всем исследованным группам ооцитов добавляли антибиотики. Использование CКФ обеспечило значительное снижение доли ооцитов с дегенерированным хроматином, что способствовало увеличению уровня доимпланационных эмбрионов на стадии бластоцисты. Так, доля бластоцист, развившихся из ооцитов, созревших в среде со стенками фолликулов,составила43,5. В этой же группе выявлен минимальный уровень дегенерированных зародышей (6,45). Полученные данные предлагается использовать при моделировании систем дозревания ооцитов коров с целью повышения качества яйцеклеток.The creation of an effective unified maturation system of donor oocytes provides an increase in the efficiency of innovative cellular reproductive technologies. The comparative analysis of the meiotic maturation indicators of bovine oocytes, which were matured in different cultural systems modified by follicular structural components (FSC follicular walls, granulosa cells, proteins) and follicular fluid, as well as the potential for preimplantation embryonic development were evaluated in this study. Oocytes matured in following cultural systems: medium TC199 supplemented with 10 fetal bovine serum and 50 g/ml of estradiol, 10 g/ml of luteinizing hormone (LH), 10 g/ml of folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) medium TC199 with 10 estrous cow serum medium TC199 with 50 liquid from follicles with a diameter of 9 mm medium TC199 supplemented with the follicular fluid proteins with molecular weight 65 kDa medium TC199 with 10 fetal bovine serum and 1106 granulosa cells medium TC199 with the addition of 10 fetal bovine serum and follicle tissues were analyzed. Antibiotics were added to cultural media of all experimental groups of oocytes. The usage of FSC ensured the decrease in the proportion of oocytes with degenerated chromatin, which contribute the rise of the level of preimplantation embryos at the blastocyst stage. Thus, the proportion of blastocysts developed from oocytes matured in medium supplemented with follicular walls was 43.5. In the same experimental group, the number of degenerated embryos was 6.45. The obtained data are supposed to be used for modeling the cultural systems of cow oocytes in order to improve the egg quality.

One thousand lots of pooled fetal bovine serum (FBS) were tested for contamination with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and/or for contamination with neutralizing antibody against BVDV. Noncytopathic or cytopathic BVDV was isolated from 203 lots of FBS. Analysis of the viral isolates identified 115 type 1 and 65 type 2 BVDV isolates. An additional 23 virus isolates were mixtures of >2 BVDV isolates and were not classified to viral genotype. Further characterization of the type 1 viruses identified 51 subgenotype 1a and 64 subgenotype 1b BVDV isolates. Viral neutralizing antibody was detected in 113 lots of FBS. Differential viral neutralization indicated that type 1 BVDV induced the antibody detected in 48 lots of FBS and type 2 BVDV induced the antibody detected in 16 lots of FBS.
