Method for predicting metabolic state of cell culture using machine learning
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230313113A1) describes a method for predicting the metabolic state of a cell culture of a specific cell type. The method involves providing a metabolic model of the cell type, which includes various intracellular and extracellular metabolites and fluxes. The model also includes stoichiometric equations that define the relationships between these metabolites.
During the cultivation of the cell culture, the method involves receiving measurement values at different points in time. These measurement values include concentrations of extracellular metabolites in the culture medium and the measured cell density of the cells in the culture. These measurement values are then used as input parameters for a trained machine learning program logic (MLP).
Using the received measurement values, the MLP predicts the extracellular fluxes of the metabolites at a future point in time. These extracellular fluxes represent the uptake or release rates of the metabolites into or from the cells. The future point in time is a time subsequent to the point at which the measurement values were received.
To calculate the intracellular fluxes at the future point in time, the method involves performing metabolic flux analysis. This analysis uses the predicted extracellular fluxes and the stoichiometric equations of the metabolic model.
In summary, this patent describes a method that combines a metabolic model, machine learning, and metabolic flux analysis to predict the metabolic state of a cell culture. By using measurement values and a trained MLP, the method can forecast the extracellular fluxes of metabolites at a future point in time. These predicted fluxes are then used in metabolic flux analysis to calculate the intracellular fluxes. This method has potential applications in various fields, including biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, where understanding and predicting the metabolic state of cell cultures is crucial.
