Abstract Biopharmaceuticals (also known as biologics) play an increasing role in
the treatment of a wide range of diseases, particularly cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. In 2017 and 2018, 11 of the 15 best-selling drugs world­wide were biopharmaceuticals, generally produced in cultured mammalian cells. The vast majority of biopharmaceuticals are glycoproteins, in which the attached glycan moieties play important and often critical roles in controlling activity, clear­ance, and immunogenicity. In addition to glycoproteins, carbohydrates, particularly glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparin, the most widely used anticoagulant drug in the world, are critically important biopharmaceutical products.
Many blockbuster biopharmaceuticals such as adalimumab (Humira), trastu­zumab (Herceptin), and bevacizumab (Avastin) have recently come off patent, providing an opportunity for production of biosimilar versions by companies other than the innovator. In addition, there is increasing interest in producing

glycosaminoglycans from cultured mammalian cells, rather than the current puri­cation from animal tissues with the attendant risks of contamination by adventitious agents and adulteration due to isolation under non-cGMP conditions. To success­fully produce biosimilars and bioengineered GAGs, control of glycan composition and structures is critical. This control is challenging as glycan synthesis is a non­templated process, which is controlled by a complex collection of factors including the glycoprotein being synthesized or the core protein to which the GAG is attached, production host, enzyme activities, and bioprocess conditions.
In this chapter, we review some basics of glycoprotein and GAG biosynthesis with a particular focus on our current understanding of how glycan structures are controlled invivo. We then review studies in which glycan structures for recombi­nant proteins and glycosaminoglycans have been optimized by cell line metabolic engineering and bioprocess manipulations. In particular, CRISPR has permitted exquisite editing of host cells, allowing tailored production of glycan structures, facilitating the production of biosimilars and bioengineered GAGs as well as setting the stage for “biobetters” in which improved functionality is obtained by glycoengi­neering. However, complicated new products including bispecic antibodies, intri­cate Fc-fusion proteins and molecules not yet envisioned may necessitate new hosts and further advances in glycoengineering.

6.1 Introduction

Biological therapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), vaccines, hor­mones, and other proteins, play an increasing role in the global pharmaceutical market, providing novel treatments for a wide range of conditions and indications. Since 2002 there have been more than 300 biopharmaceutical approvals by the FDA (U.S.Food and Drug Administration), and this number is continuously growing. The vast majority of these biologics are produced in mammalian cell culture with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines serving as the preferred host, but other cell lines including human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293), human retinal cells (PERC.6), baby hamster kidney (BHK), murine myeloma (NS0) cells, and murine (SP2/0) hybridoma cells have also been employed [1, 2]. Mammalian cells are uti­lized due to their ability to produce the appropriate posttranslational modications including proper folding, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and disulde bond forma­tion, resulting in high-quality proteins [3, 4].
Protein glycosylation is the most common posttranslational modication in eukaryotes, formed by the attachment of glycans onto proteins [5]. Glycosylation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and/or the Golgi apparatus including

N- and O-linked glycosylation, where glycan chains are added to the amide nitro­gen of the asparagine residue and hydroxyl group of the serine/threonine residues, respectively [68]. Glycosylation is a complex, nontemplated process, resulting in heterogeneity in the glycan prole (microheterogeneity) and in glycan site­occupancy (macroheterogeneity) [9, 10]. Many factors including cell type and cell engineering, media-feed compositions, and cell culture conditions such as temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen and ammonia concentrations can affect glycan patterns [1, 11, 12]. Glycosylation patterns on therapeutic glycoproteins signicantly affect biological and physiochemical properties including efcacy, immunogenicity, invivo half-life, protein conformation, stability, and solubility [1315]. Therefore, glycosylation is a critical quality attribute (CQA) of therapeu­tic proteins [16, 17].
In addition to glycoprotein therapeutics, there is increased interest in the recom­binant or bioengineered production of carbohydrate drugs, particularly glycosami­noglycans (GAGs) such as heparin, the most widely used anticoagulant drug worldwide [18]. GAGs are synthesized and attached to a core protein, and the struc­ture of the GAG is controlled by an extensive biosynthetic pathway consisting of more than 20 enzymes. Consequently, GAGs are highly heterogeneous, and their properties are strongly inuenced by the cell line and culture conditions used for production. The CQAs for GAGs include their sulfation pattern and for heparin, the anticoagulant activity.
CQAs are dened as physical, chemical, biological, or microbiological proper­ties or characteristics that must be monitored during manufacturing processes and controlled within an appropriate limit, range, or distribution to ensure the desired product quality and hence, the safety and efcacy of the drug products [1921]. Due to the natural glycan heterogeneity, there is not “one correct glycan,” though there are certainly undesirable glycans including immunogenic forms described in Sects.
6.4 and 6.5. Moreover, the glycosylation patterns, such as degree of branching,
sialylation and fucosylation have signicant effects on biological activity as described in Sect. 6.6.3. Consequently, glycoengineering and process engineering may be performed to achieve a specic biological goal for the therapeutic protein. Most critical is the need to maintain consistency throughout the product lifetime, which may include a variety of process changes and manufacturing at many differ­ent sites.
In addition to the need to maintain quality attributes in the production of novel therapeutics, the end of patent protection for many biotherapeutics (e.g., adalim­umab (Humira), trastuzumab (Herceptin), and bevacizumab (Avastin)) provides an opportunity for the production of biosimilars. Biosimilars are off-patent biologic products that are highly similar but not identical to the originator biologic product (Reference Biologic) in terms of structure, function, biological activity, immunoge­nicity, efcacy, and safety due to differences in manufacturing processes [22, 23]. However, in biosimilar production, it is vitally important to approximate the CQAs of the innovator molecule to ensure efcacy. Signicant effort is often employed during the process development of biosimilars to match the reference product including host and cell line selection as well as optimization of bioprocess

conditions [24]. Furthermore, CQA identication is a key step in the quality by design (QbD) approach to product development, a systematic approach that begins with predened objectives and emphasizes product and process understanding and process control, based on sound science and quality risk management. QbD has been implemented for developing and manufacturing biologics, including biosimi­lars [2527].
To understand how these steps are being implemented, this chapter provides an overview of protein glycosylation, strategies for glycoengineering cell lines to con­trol glycan patterns, and a discussion of the effects of process conditions on the glycosylation prole of therapeutic protein products.

6.2 Biology ofGlycosylation
The addition of oligosaccharides onto a protein is a complex metabolic pathway, characterized by the en-bloc transfer of polysaccharide chains, as well as the step­wise addition and removal of individual monosaccharides. The number of pathways traversed is dependent on reaction site accessibility, the enzymatic substrate speci­cities, as well as spatial localization of the various enzymes and nucleotide-sugar substrates that are necessary for the reactions to proceed in a particular order [28, 29].
6.2.1 N-Linked Glycosylation
N-linked glycosylation initiates primarily in the ER of mammalian cells. The entire pathway in mammalian cells involves a highly complex and interconnected reaction network, catalyzed by glycosidases and glycosyltransferases contained within dif­ferent compartments of the ER and Golgi apparatus, as depicted in the schematic in Fig.6.1. The biosynthesis of mammalian N-glycans initiates at the cytoplasmic face of the ER membrane with the transfer of a phosphorylated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc-P) from uridine diphosphate (UDP-GlcNAc) to the dolichol phosphate (Dol-P) lipid carrier to generate dolichol pyrophosphate N-acetylglucosamine (Dol­P- P-GlcNAc) [30]. Fourteen sugars are then sequentially added to Dol-P-P-GlcNAc to form an oligosaccharide precursor (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2) [10]. Next, oligosac­charyltransferase identies Asn-X-Ser/Thr sequons in a nascent polypeptide and proceeds with an en-bloc transfer of Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 to the side chain amide of asparagine, releasing Dol-P-P in the process [31]. The glucose (Glc) residues on the precursor are sequentially trimmed by ER α-glucosidase I and II to form a monoglu­cosylated glycan, which is a key intermediate in the calnexin/calreticulin-associated glycoprotein folding control cycle, an ER protein-quality assurance mechanism [32].

Once correctly folded, the precursor is trimmed by ER α-mannosidase I to yield Man8GlcNAc2-protein before exiting the ER. After translocation into the cis­Golgi, the Man8GlcNAc2 glycoform is further trimmed by Golgi α-mannosidases I to give Man5GlcNAc2, a key intermediate along the pathway to form hybrid and
