Résumé

In this study, we designed and built a gene switch that employs metabolically inert l-glucose to regulate transgene expression in mammalian cells via d-idonate-mediated control of the bacterial regulator LgnR. To this end, we engineered a metabolic cascade in mammalian cells to produce the inducer molecule d-idonate from its precursor l-glucose by ectopically expressing the Paracoccus species 43P-derived catabolic enzymes LgdA, LgnH, and LgnI. To obtain ON- and OFF-switches, we fused LgnR to the human transcriptional silencer domain Krüppel associated box (KRAB) and the viral trans-activator domain VP16, respectively. Thus, these artificial transcription factors KRAB-LgnR or VP16-LgnR modulated cognate promoters containing LgnR-specific binding sites in a d-idonate-dependent manner as a direct result of l-glucose metabolism. In a proof-of-concept experiment, we show that the switches can control production of the model biopharmaceutical rituximab in both transiently and stably transfected HEK-293T cells, as well as CHO-K1 cells. Rituximab production reached 5.9 µg/ml in stably transfected HEK-293T cells and 3.3 µg/ml in stably transfected CHO-K1 cells.
