Environmental growth‐inhibition conditions (GICs) have been used extensively for increasing cell‐specific productivity (qP) of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, with the most common being temperature downshift and sodium butyrate (NaBu) treatment. B lymphocyte‐induced maturation protein‐1 (BLIMP1) overexpression in CHO cells can also inhibit cell growth and increase product titers and qP. Given the similar responses, this study evaluated the individual and combined effects of BLIMP1 expression, low temperature, and NaBu treatment on culture performance, cell metabolism, and recombinant protein production of CHO cells. As expected, all three interventions decreased cell growth, arrested cells in G1/G0 cell cycle phase, and increased qP. However, CHO cells presented different responses when considering cell viability, recombinant gene expression, and cell metabolism that indicated differences in the molecular loci by which BLIMP1 and GICs generated higher productivities. Combinations of BLIMP1 expression and GICs acted synergistically to inhibit cell growth and maximize r‐protein production, with the BLIMP1/NaBu condition leading to the most significant improvements in product titers and qP. This latter condition also proved to substantially increase product yields (up to 9.8 g immunoglobulin G1 [IgG1]/L and 2.2 g erythropoietin‐Fc [EPO‐Fc]/L) and qP(up to 179 pg/cell/day [pcd] for IgG1 and 30 pcd for EPO‐Fc) in high‐density perfusion cultures. These findings offered mechanistic insights about the productivity‐enhancing effects of BLIMP1 and GICs, as well as their complementarity for generating highly productive processes.
