摘要:

猪表皮生长因子(pEGF)与三叶因子协同给药已被证明能有效促进猪的肠道增殖与修复。本研究旨在构建食品级重组乳酸乳球菌强组成型表达系统并将其用于融合表达pEGF以及对猪肠道有益生作用的鼠李糖乳杆菌衍生蛋白p40,以克服目前乳酸乳球菌重组表达中组成型表达量低的现状以及避免抗生素使用的问题,并初步探索一种更强效的猪肠道益生制剂。首先,通过金黄色葡萄球菌核酸酶报告系统,以常用乳酸乳球菌组成型启动子P32为对照,从乳酸乳球菌NZ9000组成型高表达蛋白质的启动子以及前人研究发现的乳酸乳球菌强组成型启动子中,可视化地筛选出乳酸乳球菌NZ9000的伸长因子Tu的启动子(P1)活性最强。进一步地,将pNZ8148的氯霉素抗性基因替换为乳链菌肽抗性基因,成功构建了具有良好的乳链菌肽耐受性且完全失去氯霉素抗性的食品级重组乳酸乳球菌强组成型表达系统NZ9000/pP1NR。同时,本研究利用该系统成功表达pEGF和融合蛋白pEGF-p40。细胞增殖试验结果显示,含有pEGF-p40的菌株培养上清更有效地促进猪小肠上皮细胞IPEC-J2的增殖。通过qRT-PCR检测了刺激后IPEC-J2细胞的SGLT-1、GLUT-2、SUC、EGFR和GLP2R,结果显示含有pEGF-p40的培养上清调节相关基因的表达情况不同于仅含有pEGF的培养上清。本研究构建了食品级重组乳酸乳球菌强组成型表达系统,成功表达了对猪肠道具有益生作用的pEGF-p40,为其他益生物质的安全生产提供借鉴,为开发一种强效的猪肠道益生制剂做了先行探究。

Abstract:

Co-administration of porcine epidermal growth factor (pEGF) and trefoil factor 3 has been shown to be effective in promoting intestinal proliferation and repair in pigs. Herein, this study was to construct a food-grade recombinant Lactococcus lactis strong constitutive expression system for the fusion expression of pEGF as well as a porcine gut beneficial protein p40, derived from Lactobacillus rhamnosus. As such, the researchers sought to overcome the current status quo of the low levels of L. lactis recombinant constitutive expression as well as to avoid the use of antibiotics, and to preliminarily develop a more potent porcine gut beneficial agent. Firstly, using the commonly used L. lactis constitutive promoter P32 as a control and the Staphylococcus aureus nuclease reporter system, this study visually screened out the promoter of the elongation factor Tu of L. lactis NZ9000 (P1) outperformed the other promoters of L. lactis NZ9000 constitutively highly expressed proteins and the previously found strong constitutive promoters of L. lactis. Furthermore, by replacing the chloramphenicol resistance gene of pNZ8148 with the nisin resistance gene, a food-grade recombinant L. lactis strong constitutive expression system named NZ9000/pP1NR was successfully constructed, which possessed good nisin resistance and completely lost the chloramphenicol resistance. Using the system, pEGF and the fusion protein pEGF-p40 were successfully expressed. Cell proliferation assays on IPEC-J2 cells showed that the culture supernatant containing pEGF-p40 was more effectively in promoting the proliferation. SGLT-1, GLUT-2, SUC, EGFR and GLP2R were detected in IPEC-J2 cells after stimulation by qRT-PCR, indicating that the culture supernatant containing pEGF-p40 regulated the expression of the relevant genes differently from that of the culture supernatant containing pEGF alone. In this study, a food-grade recombinant L. lactis strong constitutive expression system was constructed. By which, pEGF-p40 with a beneficial effect on porcine intestines, was successfully expressed. This study provides a reference for the safe production of other probiotic substances, and preliminarily explored a potent beneficial preparation for the porcine intestine.
