Production Of Functional Proteins: Balance Of Shear Stress And Gravity

Production Of Functional Proteins: Balance Of Shear Stress And Gravity

US Patent:
6730498, May 4, 2004
Filed:
Apr 7, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/056363
Inventors:
Thomas John Goodwin - Friendswood TX
Timothy Grant Hammond - New Orleans LA
James Howard Kaysen - New Orleans LA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
C12P 2106
US Classification:
435 691, 435 701, 435 703, 435375, 435394, 435383, 435403
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for production of functional proteins including hormones by renal cells in a three dimensional co-culture process responsive to shear stress using a rotating wall vessel. Natural mixture of renal cells expresses the enzyme 1-a-hydroxylase which can be used to generate the active form of vitamin D: 1,25-diOH vitamin D3. The fibroblast cultures and co-culture of renal cortical cells express the gene for erythropoietin and secrete erythropoietin into the culture supernatant. Other shear stress response genes are also modulated by shear stress, such as toxin receptors megalin and cubulin (gp280). Also provided is a method of treating in-need individual with the functional proteins produced in a three dimensional co-culture process responsive to shear stress using a rotating wall vessel.

Methods For Modeling Infectious Disease And Chemosensitivity In Cultured Cells And Tissues

US Patent:
7244578, Jul 17, 2007
Filed:
Apr 5, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/474075
Inventors:
Timothy Grant Hammond - New Orleans LA, US
Cheryl Anne Nickerson - River Ridge LA, US
Assignee:
Department of Veterans Affairs - Washington DC
Administrators of the Tulane Education Fund - New Orleans LA
International Classification:
C12Q 1/70
US Classification:
435 721, 435 5, 435 701, 435 703
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for utilizing a form of optimized suspension culture to examine the infectivity of pathogenic organisms and agents in human cells and tissues. Also provided are methods using a rotating wall vessel to predict chemosensitivity of cells and tissues to toxins and chemotherapeutic agents. These culture conditions potentiate spatial colocalization and three-dimensional assembly of individual cells into large aggregates which more closely resemble the in vivo tissue equivalent. In this environment, dissociated cells can assemble and differentiate into macroscopic tissue aggregates several millimeters in size. These culture conditions allow for better cellular differentiation and formation of three-dimensional cellular aggregates, more efficient cell-to-cell interactions, the in in vivo-like exchange of growth factors and greater molecular scaffolding facilitating mechanical stability for cells. The suspension culture system offers a new approach for studying microbial infectivity from the perspective of the host-pathogen interaction and also for analyzing chemosensitivity to toxins and chemotherapeutic agents.

US Patent:
7361493, Apr 22, 2008
Filed:
May 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/139102
Inventors:
Timothy G. Hammond - New Orleans LA, US
Patricia L. Allen - New Orleans LA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs - Washington DC
Tulane University - New Orleans LA
International Classification:
C12N 9/12
US Classification:
435194, 435212
Abstract:
Embodiments of a method for the production of human urokinase are disclosed. Also disclosed are embodiments of a cell culture well-suited for use with the disclosed method. The method involves culturing urokinase-producing cells, such as immortalized human renal cells, in a cell culture. The cell culture comprises microcarrier structures and a tissue culture medium. The urokinase production is allowed to occur while the cell culture remains relatively static, i. e. , the cell culture is not substantially mixed.
