AI Technical Summary
Existing recombinant lactic acid bacteria have limited effectiveness in preventing and controlling Aeromonas versicolor infection, especially due to insufficient adhesion and invasion capabilities, making it difficult to effectively block the bacteria from invading the host's mucosal tissues.
A recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum targeting the Hsp60 receptor was constructed by cloning the CsgB and CsgF genes into an expression vector of Lactobacillus plantarum and introducing them into Lactobacillus plantarum NC8 via electroporation. This process expresses the target protein, enhances adhesion and competitive invasion capabilities, and regulates the immune response.
It significantly enhances the ability to prevent and treat Aeromonas versicolor, promotes the abundance of beneficial intestinal flora, and downregulates the inflammatory response through the TLR4/TLR5-dependent NF-κB signaling pathway, providing an effective treatment approach for preventing and treating Aeromonas versicolor infection and inflammatory bowel disease.

[0045] Example 5: Evaluation of the immune effect of the Hsp60 receptor-targeted engineering bacteria 1. Immunization scheme of the test animals: (1) The Trichogaster trichopterus were randomly divided into a Control group, an LP wt group, an LP-pPG-aha group, an LP-pPG-Inp group, an LP-pPG-CsgB group, and an LP-pPG-CsgF group, with 50 fish in each group. The Control group and the LP wt group were used as control groups, and after two weeks of pre-feeding, the fish were orally immunized with probiotics according to the scheme shown in Table 1. The fish were fasted for 2-4 h before immunization and were normally fed 1-2 h after immunization. The fish were immunized once every week, and each time of immunization lasted for 5 days, and the fish were immunized twice in total. That is, the fish were immunized for the first time on day 1-5 of the formal test, and were immunized for the second time on day 13-17 after one week of interval. After each immunization, flow cytometry detection was performed. After the second immunization, 3 fish were randomly selected from each group to collect feces and intestinal contents for 16S rRNA bacterial flora diversity detection.

[0047] (2) Examine and collect feces and intestinal contents. Use MS-222 reagent (250mg / L, Sigma, USA) to anesthetize and kill snakehead fish in each group. Disinfect the fish surface with 75% alcohol to remove bacteria. After dissection, collect snakehead intestinal tissue and wash off the attached blood with sterile PBS. After quick freezing in liquid nitrogen, store at -80°C.

Testing was conducted every 12 hours from 24 hours to 72 hours post-fasting, for a total of 5 tests, with 3 microbes tested each time. Intestinal tissue was harvested from necropsy, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and rapidly homogenized. The homogenized tissue was then transferred to sterile centrifuge tubes (containing 1 mL of sterile PBS buffer), serially diluted, and counted using platelets. Three replicates were set up, and colonies were randomly selected for PCR validation.

IκB-α plays a key inhibitory role in the NF-κB signal transduction pathway, and p53 can also have an inhibitory effect, thereby promoting cell apoptosis and inhibiting inflammation. Compared with the control group, the LP-pPG-aha, LP-pPG-Inp, LP-pPG-CsgB and LP-pPG-CsgF groups can promote the expression of IκB-α gene, thereby promoting the induction and secretion of various anti-inflammatory cytokines. The immune cells and tissue epithelial cells can secrete IL-10 anti-inflammatory factors, which can reduce inflammatory damage by inhibiting the excessive production of inflammatory cytokines. It is found in the present application that after oral immunization of the engineering bacteria, the anti-inflammatory factors of Channa argus in each group continue to increase, indicating that the constructed LP-pPG-aha, LP-pPG-Inp, LP-pPG-CsgB and LP-pPG-CsgF can inhibit tissue inflammatory damage through the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines. At the same time, as shown in Figure 28 , Figure 29 , the engineering bacteria can increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria in the intestine of Channa argus, and the bacterial flora can mediate and activate the immune response through the feeding environment, resist A. veronii infection, and provide an effective treatment approach for inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal diseases.
