Fructose was focused on as an alternative sugar source to glucose in a hybridoma culture medium because it decreases lactate production during cultivation, leading to cell and product stability. But, not all human hybridoma cell lines grew well in a fructosebased serum-free medium. We found that the addition of all-trans-retinoic acid to the fructose-based medium improved the growth and monoclonal antibody production of hybridoma cell lines by up-regulation of fructose incorporation that represented increased expression of the fructose transporter, GLUT5. Selective activation of retinoid nuclear receptor by synthetic ligands showed that both retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X receptors might be related to the improvement of the fructose-based hybridoma culture. This study might be applicable to cell cultures susceptible to lactate and pH changes as well as hybridoma cultures.
