Bioengineering Outlook on Cultivated Meat Production. MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:mi13030402.

Abstract
Cultured meat (also referred to as cultivated meat or cell-based meat)—CM—is fabricated through the process of cellular agriculture (CA), which entails application of bioengineering, i.e., tissue engineering (TE) principles to the production of food. The main TE principles include usage of cells, grown in a controlled environment provided by bioreactors and cultivation media supplemented with growth factors and other needed nutrients and signaling molecules, and seeded onto the immobilization elements—microcarriers and scaffolds that provide the adhesion surfaces necessary for anchor-dependent cells and offer 3D organization for multiple cell types. Theoretically, many solutions from regenerative medicine and biomedical engineering can be applied in CM-TE, i.e., CA. However, in practice, there are a number of specificities regarding fabrication of a CM product that needs to fulfill not only the majority of functional criteria of muscle and fat TE, but also has to possess the sensory and nutritional qualities of a traditional food component, i.e., the meat it aims to replace. This is the reason that bioengineering aimed at CM production needs to be regarded as a specific scientific discipline of a multidisciplinary nature, integrating principles from biomedical engineering as well as from food manufacturing, design and development, i.e., food engineering. An important requirement is also the need to use as little as possible of animal-derived components in the whole CM bioprocess. In this review, we aim to present the current knowledge on different bioengineering aspects, pertinent to different current scientific disciplines but all relevant for CM engineering, relevant for muscle TE, including different cell sources, bioreactor types, media requirements, bioprocess monitoring and kinetics and their modifications for use in CA, all in view of their potential for efficient CM bioprocess scale-up. We believe such a review will offer a good overview of different bioengineering strategies for CM production and will be useful to a range of interested stakeholders, from students just entering the CA field to experienced researchers looking for the latest innovations in the field.

Abstract
Cellular agriculture is an emerging scientific discipline that leverages the existing principles behind stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and animal sciences to create agricultural products from cells in vitro. Cultivated meat, also known as clean meat or cultured meat, is a prominent subfield of cellular agriculture that possesses promising potential to alleviate the negative externalities associated with conventional meat production by producing meat in vitro instead of from slaughter. A core consideration when producing cultivated meat is cell sourcing. Specifically, developing livestock cell sources that possess the necessary proliferative capacity and differentiation potential for cultivated meat production is a key technical component that must be optimized to enable scale-up for commercial production of cultivated meat. There are several possible approaches to develop cell sources for cultivated meat production, each possessing certain advantages and disadvantages. This review will discuss the current cell sources used for cultivated meat production and remaining challenges that need to be overcome to achieve scale-up of cultivated meat for commercial production. We will also discuss cell-focused considerations in other components of the cultivated meat production workflow, namely, culture medium composition, bioreactor expansion, and biomaterial tissue scaffolding.

Abstract
As the global population grows, we need a stable protein supply to meet the demands. Although plant-derived protein sources are widely available, animal meat maintains its popularity as a high-quality and savory protein source. Recently, cultured meat, also known as in vitro meat, has been suggested as a meat analog produced through in vitro cell culture technology. Cultured meat has several advantages over conventional meat, such as environmental protection, disease prevention, and animal welfare. However, cultured meat manufacturing is an emerging technology; thus, its further and dynamic development would be pivotal. Commercialization of cultured meat to the public will take a long time but cultured meat undoubtedly will come to our table someday. Here, we discuss the social and economic aspects of cultured meat production as well as the recent technical advances in cultured meat technology.

Abstract
Cellular agriculture is the controlled and sustainable manufacture of agricultural products with cells and tissues without plant or animal involvement. Today, microorganisms cultivated in bioreactors already produce egg and milk proteins, sweeteners, and flavors for human nutrition as well as leather and fibers for shoes, bags, and textiles. Furthermore, plant cell and tissue cultures provide ingredients that stimulate the immune system and improve skin texture, with another precommercial cellular agriculture product, in vitro meat, currently receiving a great deal of attention. All these approaches could assist traditional agriculture in continuing to provide for the dietary requirements of a growing world population while freeing up important resources such as arable land. Despite early successes, challenges remain and are discussed in this review, with a focus on production processes involving plant and animal cell and tissue cultures.

Abstract
Primary cell cultures derived from satellite cells of skeletal muscle provide an appropriate in vitro model for proliferating myoblasts and differentiating myotubes for muscle biological research. These cell cultures may consist of harvested cells per animal or of a cell pool made of cells from several animals. However, cell pooling reduces the biological variability of the different cell donors. On the other hand, the use of cell pools offers an opportunity to use less donor tissue and to perform long-term projects with a broad spectrum of analysis and replications. In the literature, information about the donors of cell pools, the procedure used for pooling, and the characterization/validation of cell pools is often lacking. In this study, we established three cell pools consisting of M. rhomboideus or M. longissimus from ten or six piglets, each with one gender and medium birth weight. Real-time impedimetric monitoring was used to evaluate the proliferative growth behavior of myoblasts for the cell pools in comparison to their corresponding unpooled cells over a period of 72 h, with a measurement being taken every 30 min. For each of the tested cell pools, cell index, slope, and doubling time did not differ between the cell pool and the unpooled cells of the donor animals. Differentiation capacity and mRNA expression of PAX7, MYOD and MYOG remained unchanged between the cell pool and the unpooled cells. Current results support that the use of cell pools is an appropriate method to reflect the average proliferative growth behavior of unpooled cells.

Abstract
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) contributes to the number of soft tissue injuries that necessitate reconstructive surgery, but treatment options are often limited by tissue availability and donor site morbidity. To combat these issues, our laboratory has developed scaffold-free tissue-engineered skeletal muscle units (SMUs) as a novel treatment for VML injuries. Recently, we have begun experiments addressing VML in facial muscle, and the optimal starting cell population for engineered skeletal muscle tissue for this application may not be cells derived from hindlimb muscles due to reported heterogeneity of cell populations. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare SMUs fabricated from both craniofacial and hindlimb sources to determine which cell source is best suited for the engineering of skeletal muscle. Herein, we assessed the development, structure, and function of SMUs derived from four muscle sources, including two hindlimb muscles (i.e., soleus and semimembranosus [SM]) and two craniofacial muscles (i.e., zygomaticus major and masseter). Overall, the zygomaticus major exhibited the least efficient digestion, and SMUs fabricated from this muscle exhibited the least aligned myosin heavy chain staining and consequently, the lowest average force production. Conversely, the SM muscle exhibited the most efficient digestion and the highest number of myotubes/mm2; however, the SM, masseter, and soleus groups were roughly equivalent in terms of force production and histological structure. Impact Statement An empirical comparison of the development, structure, and function of engineered skeletal muscle tissue fabricated from different muscles, including both craniofacial and hindlimb sources, will not only provide insight into innate regenerative mechanisms of skeletal muscle but also will give our team and other researchers the information necessary to determine which cell sources are best suited for the skeletal muscle tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cultured meat is a promising product that is derived through biotechnology that partially circumvents animal physiology, thereby being potentially more sustainable, environmentally friendly and animal friendly than traditional livestock meat. Such a novel technology that can impact many consumers evokes ethical, philosophical and religious discussions. For the Islamic community, the crucial question is whether cultured meat is halal, meaning compliant with Islamic laws. Since the culturing of meat is a new discovery, invention and innovation by scientists that has never been discussed by classical jurists (fuqaha'), an ijtihad by contemporary jurists must look for and provide answers for every technology introduced, whether it comply the requirements of Islamic law or not. So, this article will discuss an Islamic perspective on cultured meat based on the original scripture in the Qur'an and interpretations by authoritative Islamic jurists. The halal status of cultured meat can be resolve through identifying the source cell and culture medium used in culturing the meat. The halal cultured meat can be obtained if the stem cell is extracted from a (Halal) slaughtered animal, and no blood or serum is used in the process. The impact of this innovation will give positive results in the environmental and sustain the livestock industry.

Abstract
Muscle stem cells, termed satellite cells (SC), and SC-derived myogenic progenitor cells (MPC) are involved in postnatal muscle growth, regeneration, and muscle adaptability. They can be released from their natural environment by mechanical disruption and tissue digestion. The literature contains several isolation protocols for porcine SC/MPC including various digestion procedures, but comparative studies are missing. In this report, classic trypsinization and a more complex trypsin, collagenase, and DNase (TCD) digestion were performed with skeletal muscle tissue from 4- to 5-d-old piglets. The two digestion procedures were compared regarding cell yield, viability, myogenic purity, and in vitro cell function. The TCD digestion tended to result in higher cell yields than digestion with solely trypsin (statistical trend p = 0.096), whereas cell size and viability did not differ. Isolated myogenic cells from both digestion procedures showed comparable proliferation rates, expressed the myogenic marker Desmin, and initiated myogenic differentiation in vitro at similar levels. Thus, TCD digestion tended to liberate slightly more cells without changes in the tested in vitro properties of the isolated cells. Both procedures are adequate for the isolation of SC/MPC from juvenile porcine muscles but the developmental state of the animal should always be considered.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to establish the optimum protocol for the isolation and culture of porcine muscle satellite cells. Mononuclear muscle satellite cells are a kind of adult stem cell, which is located between the basal lamina and sarcolemma of muscle fibers and is the primary source of myogenic precursor cells in postnatal muscle. Muscle satellite cells are a useful model to investigate the mechanisms of muscle growth and development. Although the isolation and culture protocols of muscle satellite cells in some species (e.g. mouse) have been established successfully, the culture system for porcine muscle satellite cells is very limited. In this study, we optimized the isolation procedure of porcine muscle satellite cells and elaborated the isolation and culture process in detail. Furthermore, we characterized the porcine muscle satellite cells using the immunofluorecence. Our study provides a reference for the isolation of porcine muscle satellite cells and will be useful for studying the molecular mechanisms in these cells.

Abstract
Cultured myoblasts have been used extensively as an in vitro model in understanding the underlying mechanisms of myogenesis. Various protocols for establishing a pure myoblast culture have been reported which involve the use of special procedures like flow cytometry and density gradient centrifugation. In goat, only a few protocols for establishing a myogenic cell culture are available and these protocols use adult muscle tissues which often does not yield sufficient numbers of precursor cells with adequate proliferative capacity. Considering the disadvantages of adult myoblasts, we are proposing an alternate protocol using caprine fetus which does not require any special procedures. In the present study, more than 90-95% fetal-derived cell populations had the typical spindle to polyhedral shape of myoblast cell and stained positive for desmin, hence confirming their myogenic origin. These cells attained the maximum confluency as early as 3-4 d against 3 wk by adult myoblasts indicating a better growth potential. Further, quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed a higher expression (p < 0.01) of myogenic regulatory factors (i.e., myogenic determination factor 1, myogenic factor 5, and myogenin) and myostatin (MSTN) in the fetal as compared to the adult myoblasts. Consequently, higher proliferation and differentiation ability along with higher abundance of myogenic markers and MSTN make the fetal myoblasts a better in vitro model.

Abstract
To establish an adequate model to study the proliferation and differentiation of porcine skeletal muscle in response to bioactive compounds, a pool of satellite cells was derived from the semimembranosus muscle (SM) of newborn piglets using a Percoll gradient centrifugation. The final yield amounted to 4.1 x 10(6) cells/g muscle tissue. The percentage of muscle satellite cells has been determined by immunostaining for desmin and subsequent fluorescence analysis by flow cytometry, which revealed 95% of desmin-positive cells. For proliferation studies, satellite cell born myoblasts were seeded in gelatin-coated 96-well microplates at about 5 x 10(3) cells per well. Cells were grown for 1 day in MEMalpha plus 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 10% horse serum (HS), followed by 2 d cultivation in serum-free growth medium. For differentiation studies, myoblasts were cultured in matrigel-coated 24-well plates for 4 d with growth medium containing 10% FBS and 10% HS. At 80% confluence, cells were grown for 24 h in medium plus 10% FBS and 1 microM insulin to initiate differentiation. Subsequently, the cells were cultured in serum-free differentiation medium (SFDM) for 3 d to form myotubes. Cultures reached a maximum fusion rate of approximately 20% after 96 h. By establishing this culture system, we provide an advanced and appropriate in vitro model to study porcine skeletal muscle cell growth and differentiation including the responses to various bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Bovine adipofibroblasts, 3T3-L1 cells, L-6 myogenic cells, and sheep satellite cells were allowed to proliferate for 48 h. Oil red-O (ORO) was dissolved in three different solvents isopropanol, propylene glycol and triethyl phosphate. At 48 h, the proliferative cultures were stained with the three stains. ORO stain prepared in both propylene glycol and triethyl phosphate resulted in bright red droplets appearing in all cultures, whereas ORO dissolved in isopropanol was not taken up by any of the cells. These data suggest that certain preparations of ORO may stain cells in non-adipogenic lineages as well as undifferentiated pre-adipocytes. Caution must be exercised when choosing solvents for ORO in differentiation studies using cells of the fat/adipose lineage.

Abstract
Satellite cells activity contributes to postnatal muscle growth. Herein, we have studied the respective influence of insulin and triiodothyronine (T3) on the proliferation and differentiation of primary bovine satellite cells isolated from Semitendinosus muscle of Montbéliard steers. Under basal conditions, satellite cells proliferated until the fifth day of culture, began to fuse into myotubes and expressed differentiation markers such as connectin, myogenin, and myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. Insulin behaved as an effective mitogen. Moreover, it promoted extensive myotube formation and enhanced differentiation as shown by an increase in the accumulation of differentiation markers. Maximal differentiation occurred with insulin physiological range concentrations. A delay in the stimulation of differentiation was registered with a high dose that promoted maximal proliferation. Conversely, T3 decreased cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, fusion and biochemical differentiation (accumulation of connectin, MyoD1, myogenin, and myosin heavy chain isoforms) were also enhanced. Bovine satellite cells seemed to respond differentially to insulin and T3 for proliferation. Interestingly, both hormones displayed a myogenic influence. Our observations suggest that both hormones could influence bovine satellite cells in vivo and contribute to the regulation of postnatal muscle growth.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle development in avian and mammalian embryos depends on the proliferation, differentiation, and fusion of embryonic myoblasts. During the late fetal period and following birth or hatching, myogenic satellite cells are responsible for this developmental function. Satellite cells, which are found adjacent to existing skeletal muscle fibers fuse with these fibers and their nuclei direct the synthesis of new protein and function in the maturation of muscle. These events are controlled by specific growth factors that are produced locally by satellite cells and other cells in the muscle. Progress in our understanding of the early events in myogenesis has been made possible by the development of satellite cell cultures and media formulations that allow the assessment of the role of growth factors in skeletal muscle growth and development. Because of the key role that satellite cells play in skeletal muscle growth, development, and regeneration, many scientists in both the agricultural and medical communities have focused their research on understanding the physiology of this cell. From an agricultural perspective, a better understanding of the mechanisms regulating satellite cell activity may lead to procedures to increase the deposition and efficiency of lean muscle (meat) accretion and, perhaps, improve the nutrient composition of meat products.

Abstract
Ruminants have high concentrations of peptide-bound amino acids in the circulation. Earlier studies in our laboratory showed that a myogenic cell line (C2C12) developed from mouse skeletal muscle and a mammary epithelial cell line (MAC-T) developed from bovine mammary epithelial tissues are able to utilize peptides as amino acid sources. In this study, primary cultures of ovine myogenic satellite cells were evaluated for their ability to use peptide-bound methionine as a source of methionine for protein accretion and cell proliferation. The basal medium contained methionine-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 6% desalted fetal bovine serum. Treatment media included the basal medium supplemented with no methionine, methionine or one of 22 methionine-containing peptides. No protein or DNA accretion was observed in the presence of basal medium alone. Growth responses to all of the peptides were obtained, with protein and DNA accretion ranging from 49 to 107% and from 45 to 144% of the corresponding methionine response, respectively. These results indicate that the ovine myogenic satellite cells possess the ability to utilize methionine-containing peptides as methionine sources for protein accretion and cell proliferation.

Abstract
Satellite cells are the postnatal myogenic cells, as they provide myonuclei to support skeletal muscle hypertrophy and are principal cells responsible for myofiber repair and regeneration. Even though research with satellite cells from meat animals is new, considerable data exist to suggest that these cells are regulated through both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. This review covers the present status of the extrinsic factors known or postulated to modulate meat animal satellite cell growth and development.

Abstract
Myogenic satellite cells were isolated from semimembranosus muscles of 4-8 week-old pigs. Muscles were ground and incubated in 0.8 mg/ml Pronase solution for 40 min at 37 degrees C. Following enzymatic digestion, cells were separated from muscle debris by differential centrifugation and sequential filtering through 500 and 53 microns nylon mesh. Primary cultures grown in 16 mm diameter cell culture wells were used to evaluate five sera, media, and substrata for their ability to promote satellite cell proliferation and differentiation. Porcine satellite cell proliferation and myotube formation were optimized in cultures grown on gelatin-coated substratum in the presence of Minimum Essential Medium-alpha supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (P less than 0.01). Maximum fusion was induced by 48 hr exposure to 2% FBS, horse serum, or lamb serum. These data 1) document the first evidence that myogenic satellite cells can be isolated from porcine skeletal muscle, and 2) identify culture conditions which optimize proliferation and myotube formation of porcine satellite cells.

Abstract
We have evaluated the effect of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF beta-1) on proliferation and fusion of cultured ovine satellite cells isolated from 5-month-old wether lambs. The isolation and culture protocols were validated by clonal analysis of the original cell preparation and assessment of proliferation and fusion of control cultures. Approximately 85% of the original cells isolated were myogenic as assessed by clonal analysis. The ovine cells doubled approximately every 18 hours during their exponential growth period and achieved a maximum percent fusion of 39.5% after 144 hours in culture. TGF beta-1 inhibited fusion of these cells in a dose-dependent manner with half-maximal inhibition occurring at .08 ng/ml. Maximal inhibition (95% suppression) occurred between .1 and .5 ng/ml. TGF Beta-1 (.05-3.0 ng/ml) did not inhibit proliferation of cultured ovine satellite cells in serum-containing medium or in serum-free defined medium. In contrast, TGF beta-1 did significantly suppress serum-stimulated proliferation of either porcine or bovine satellite cells that were isolated by using a procedure identical to that used to isolate the ovine satellite cells. Thus, proliferation of ovine satellite cells appears to respond differently to TGF beta-1 than does proliferation of either porcine or bovine satellite cells.

Abstract
Proliferation and differentiation (fusion) of myogenic satellite cells isolated from Nicholas tom and hen turkeys at 3, 9, and 15 weeks of age and the response of a satellite cell clone to serum from these birds were examined. Responsiveness of satellite cells to culture conditions was proportional to donor age, and sex of bird had no effect on satellite cell proliferation. Fusion percentages were similar in all cultures. When a turkey satellite cell clone was exposed to serum from tom and hen turkeys at each age, an age-related decline in proliferation occurred with serum from hen but not from tom turkeys. Minimal cell fusion occurred in turkey serum and neither proliferation nor fusion was correlated with serum IGF-I levels. Cells derived from pectoralis major and anterior latissimus dorsi muscles of 15-week-old tom turkeys possessed similar proliferation and fusion properties in vitro. It appears that satellite cells retain a high proliferative activity throughout growth in turkeys, and the mitogenic properties of turkey serum may be evaluated using turkey satellite cells in culture.

Abstract
The ability of ovine-derived satellite cells to attach, proliferate and differentiate in response to seven horse serum-supplemented media and eleven substrata was evaluated in vitro. Satellite cells attached equally well when exposed to CRCM-30, Medium-199 and high glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagles medium (DMEM, P less than 0.05). Proliferation of satellite cells was greatest using McCoy's 5A, supplemented with 15% horse serum (P less than 0.05), and differentiation was most efficient with low glucose DMEM, supplemented with 1% horse serum (P less than 0.05). Pig-skin gelatin facilitated the greatest ovine satellite cell proliferative and differentiative responses when compared to the performance of ten other substrata (P less than 0.05). Further, 0.5 mg/16 mm2-well pig-skin gelatin appeared to be the optimum concentration of substratum for expression of satellite cell growth characteristics. Thus, consideration must be given to the processes of attachment and proliferation in experiments attempting to maximize satellite cell differentiation in vitro.

Abstract
Ovine-derived fibroblasts were used to validate an insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) membrane-receptor binding assay system. Competitive binding using fibroblasts revealed that half-maximal inhibition of 125I-IGF-I binding by IGF-I was 2.3 nM. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of specific protein-associated 125I-IGF-I was consistent with the migration of 125I-IGF-I-labeled Type I IGF receptor alpha-subunits at Mr 133,000 daltons. Further, the efficiency of two cell solubilization methods was examined and time-dependent binding equilibrium was determined for the membrane assay system. Satellite cell-derived myotubes were subsequently isolated from primary satellite cell cultures established from the semimembranosus muscles of high and low efficiency-of-gain (EOG) Targhee rams, and IGF-I receptor dynamics were measured. A membrane competitive binding study revealed that half-maximal inhibition of 125I-IGF-I binding was achieved by 1-ng IGF-I for low, and 10-ng IGF-I for high, EOG myotube membrane preparations. Kd values were similar between the high EOG (4.78 nM) and low EOG (2.95 nM) groups; however, receptor concentrations (Bmax) appeared to differ between groups. High EOG membrane receptor Bmax was 3.88 pmole/micrograms protein (19.87 pmole/micrograms DNA), whereas low EOG membrane receptor Bmax was 1.22 pmole/micrograms protein (9.28 pmole/micrograms DNA). These preliminary findings support the hypothesis that genetic selection for EOG results in altered satellite cell responsiveness to IGF-I.

Abstract
A chemically defined medium has been formulated which supports the growth (proliferation and differentiation) of rat- and ovine-derived myogenic satellite cells in vitro. Utilization of this medium in a direct comparison study in which satellite cells from both species were exposed to insulin resulted in the following observations: (1) insulin promoted the dose-dependent proliferation of primary cultures of ovine-derived but not rat-derived satellite cells and (2) rat-derived satellite cells fused to form multinucleated myotubes when exposed to increasing levels of insulin. Collectively, these observations suggest that the rat satellite cell culture system may not be an appropriate model system for extrapolating in vitro growth data to variables of ruminant skeletal muscle growth.

Abstract
Myogenic satellite cells were isolated from the pectoralis major muscle of young growing tom turkeys. These cells were capable of proliferating and forming large multinucleated myotubes in vitro. Of 36 media-sera combinations evaluated, McCoy's 5A medium containing 15% chicken serum (CS) promoted the greatest level of proliferation and subsequent myotube formation when cells were induced to differentiate (P less than 0.05). Myotube formation was maximized following exposure of cultures to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) containing 1% horse serum (HS; DMEM-1% HS) for 4 days. Satellite cells grown under these conditions generally resulted in cultures containing greater than 90% fused nuclei. Cells plated in the presence of DMEM-10% HS resulted in greater attachment and larger cultures (and consequently a greater fused nuclei number) when transferred to growth media than similarly grown cultures plated in McCoy's 5A medium-10% CS, regardless of substrata tested (P less than 0.05). The greatest proliferation and myotube formation was seen in cultures grown in gelatin-coated wells. Proliferation was maximized in McCoy's 5A medium containing 18% CS, although this was not significantly different than the proliferation with media containing 15% CS (P greater than 0.05). Our results (1) document that the postnatal myogenic satellite cell can be isolated from the turkey in sufficient quantities for biological studies and (2) identify culture conditions which optimize proliferation and differentiation of these cells in vitro.
