Recombinant glycoprotein therapeutics have proven to be invaluable pharmaceuticals for the treatment of chronic and life-threatening diseases. Although these molecules are extraordinarily efficacious, many diseases have high dosage requirements of several hundred milligrams of protein for each administration. Multiple doses at this level are often required for treatment. One of the major challenges currently facing the biotechnology industry is the development of large-scale, cost-effective production and manufacturing processes of these biologically synthesized molecules. Metabolic engineering of animal cell expression hosts promises to address this challenge by substantially enhancing recombinant protein quality, productivity, and biological activity. In this report, we describe a novel approach to metabolic engineering in Chinese hamster ovary cells by control of endogenous gene expression. Analysis of the advantages and limitations of using antisense DNA and gene targeting as a means of control are discussed and several gene candidates for regulation with these techniques are identified. Practical considerations for using these technologies to reduce the levels of the CHO cell sialidase (Warner et al., Glycobiology, 3, 455-463, 1993) as a model gene system for regulation are also presented.
