The monkey CD38 stable cell line CHO-K1 expresses CD38, a type II transmembrane glycoprotein involved in synthesizing and hydrolyzing cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose (cADPR), an intracellular calcium ion mobilizing messenger. CD38 exhibits both extracellular and intracellular functions, with soluble protein release and membrane-bound internalization. Structurally, CD38 comprises an N-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a single membrane-spanning domain, and a C-terminal extracellular region with four N-glycosylation sites. Crystal structure analysis reveals CD38 as a dimer with a catalytic site in the central portion. It serves as a prognostic marker for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients and undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in multiple transcript variants.
CHO-K1 is a Chinese hamster ovary cell line commonly used in biotechnology and research. These cells grow adherently in culture and exhibit high protein expression levels, making them suitable for stable cell line generation. Culturing CHO-K1 cells typically requires serum-containing medium supplemented with selective antibiotics for maintaining stable transgene expression.
A growing number of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are being treated with antibody-based immunotherapy that targets CD38. The researchers used antibody-based immunotherapy targeting CD38 to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). They examined the effectiveness of daratumumab (DARA), an IgG1 antibody, and its IgA2 variant (DARA-IgA2) in antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) by macrophages and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) against T-ALL cell lines and patient-derived tumor cells. They examined the effects of CD47-SIRPα interactions on T-ALL cell killing using CD47 and QPCTL knock-out cells and evaluated the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on improving ADCP and ADCC, particularly with DARA-IgA2.
Figure 1. The researchers utilized various cell lines including Human T-ALL cell lines HSB-2, MOLT-13, P12-ICHIKAWA, CHO-S, and CHO-K1 from DSMZ. They generated human CD38 transgenic CHO-K1 cells and performed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate MOLT-13 QPCTL KO and MOLT-13 CD47 KO cells using specific gRNA sequences. (Baumann N, et al., 2022)
