The influence of osmolality on growth, metabolism, and antibody production of mammalian cells has been widely reported in the past. However, more information about the responses of GS-NS0 Myeloma cells to osmolality, especially regarding the intracellular mass and energy metabolism, has not been available in detail. Fed-batch cultures started at different osmolalities in the range of 280~370 mOsm/kg were designed to investigate the effects. As the osmolality and cell status changed during the process, cell performance was evaluated in the comparable periods with similar growth rates, nutrition concentrations, and relatively consistent environments. Metabolic flux analysis indicated most of extra consumed glucose at higher osmolalities flowed into lactate formation pathway. The proportion of glucose flux flowed into glycolysis pathway remained approximately 90% and the need of glucose for biomass synthesis was constantly. Also, more than 88% of the glutamine was used in biomass synthesis and the absolute flux remained constant. The specific consumption rate of glutamine declined significantly when cells were cultured in hypo-osmolality (276 mOsm/kg) and a portion of glutamine was synthesized from glutamate. Furthermore, cells were in the state of high energy pro-duction at osmolality of 276 mOsm/kg. More glucose flowed into TCA circle with the high efficiency of energy production to meet the demand. Thus, the IVC, the specific antibody production rate, and maximal antibody concentration in fed-batch culture started at 280 mOsm/kg decreased by 35, 36, and 48% compared to those in the culture started at 330 mOsm/kg.
