The Impact of Different Cell Culture Mediums on CD8+T Cells Expansion: A Bioinformatics Study

Abstract

Objective Different Cell Culture medias can affect the expansion of T cells. The aim of this study is to assess signaling pathways, protein interactions and genes in T cells cultured in different common T cell expansion medias to select the best candidate. Materials and Methods In this in silico observational study, with the use of bioinformatics analysis and the use of enrichment databases, gene expression profiles were investigated using microarray analysis. Results The results of this study were the joint selection of 26 upregulated genes and 59 downregulated genes that were involved in SREBP control of lipid synthesis, co-stimulatory signal during T-cell activation mitosis and chromosome dynamics, telomeres, telomerase, and cellular aging signal pathways. Conclusion Using bioinformatics analyzes, integrated and regular genes were selected as common genes CD80, LST1, ATM and ITM2B 4-1BBL, Akt inhibitor, interleukin 7 and 15 expansion media.
