CHO cell lines are a workhorse for the production of pharmaceutical proteins, but show some limitations in the variability and stability of N-glycosylation profiles. One promising approach to addressing this at the required systems-level is miRNA, which can regulate a large number of genes and have predictable targets. Herein, we first identified de novo 656 potential miRNAs in the CHO genome based on a combination of literature, database searching, and miRNA sequencing. We further sequenced mRNA from the same cultures, and used a combination of mRNA-miRNA correlation analysis, target prediction and literature searches to find miRNAs potentially targeting N-glycosylation. Our ten best miRNA candidates were subjected to miRNA overexpression, knockdown, or knock-out in CHO cell lines. Out of the ten candidates, four (miR-128, miR-34c, miR-30b, and miR-449a) showed positive effects on N-glycosylation and could be applied directly for CHO cell engineering. The fact that 40% of the screened targets had a desired effect, and the prediction of 656 miRNAs illustrates the massive potential of miRNA engineering in CHO.
