Abstract Background Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have an enormous therapeutic potential, but large quantities of cells will need to be supplied by reliable, economically viable production processes. The suspension culture (three-dimensional; 3D) of hPSCs in stirred tank bioreactors (STBRs) has enormous potential for fuelling these cell demands. In this study, the efficient long-term matrix-free suspension culture of hPSC aggregates is shown. Methods and results STBR-controlled, chemical aggregate dissociation and optimized passage duration of 3 or 4 days promotes exponential hPSC proliferation, process efficiency and upscaling by a seed train approach. Intermediate high-density cryopreservation of suspension-derived hPSCs followed by direct STBR inoculation enabled complete omission of matrix-dependent 2D (two-dimensional) culture. Optimized 3D cultivation over 8 passages (32 days) cumulatively yielded ≈4.7 × 1015 cells, while maintaining hPSCs’ pluripotency, differentiation potential and karyotype stability. Gene expression profiling reveals novel insights into the adaption of hPSCs to continuous 3D culture compared to conventional 2D controls. Conclusions Together, an entirely matrix-free, highly efficient, flexible and automation-friendly hPSC expansion strategy is demonstrated, facilitating the development of good manufacturing practice-compliant closed-system manufacturing in large scale. |
