Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biosynthesis application and discloses a Saccharomyces boulardii mevalonate efficient production strain constructed based on a genetic engineering optimization strategy and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The ovaries play an extremely important role in women's life. They are not only responsible for producing eggs, providing the possibility of nurturing new life, but also secreting a variety of hormones to maintain women's physiological characteristics and the stability of the body's internal environment. With age, the number of primordial follicles in the ovaries gradually decreases, and the quality of the eggs also declines. This is a natural physiological process that leads to a decline in ovarian function. Generally speaking, women's ovarian function begins to show obvious signs of decline after the age of 35.

[0003] Mevalonic acid, also known as mevalonic acid or mevalonic acid, is an organic compound that is of great significance in biochemistry and metabolic engineering. Mevalonic acid is a key metabolic intermediate in the mevalonate pathway, and the mevalonate metabolic pathway is widely present in higher eukaryotes and some microorganisms. At the same time, mevalonic acid is also an important precursor for the synthesis of cholesterol, terpenoids and other prenylated organisms. Studies have shown that the MVA pathway in granulosa cells is a key regulator of oocyte meiosis and euploidy, while aging-related abnormalities in the MVA pathway can lead to oocyte meiotic defects and aneuploidy. In vitro supplementation of MVA and its derivative isoprene compound geranylgeraniol can improve meiotic defects and aneuploidy in oocytes of aged mice.

[0004] At present, the production methods of mevalonic acid are mainly divided into two categories: chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. The chemical synthesis method faces the problems of scarce raw materials, high structural complexity and high cost, and the products are mostly racemic mixtures, which limits its applicability for large-scale production. In contrast, the biosynthesis method uses microorganisms such as Escherichia coli as a production platform, integrates the key genes of the mevalonic acid synthesis pathway into microorganisms through genetic engineering technology, and realizes large-scale production with the help of its efficient genetic operating system. This method is not only suitable for large-scale manufacturing, but also has significant advantages in product quality control. Typical industrial microorganisms, including Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pseudomonas, have been used in the production of MVA.

[0005] Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely used to produce a variety of terpenoids, including mevalonate, due to its clear genetic background, easy operation, and robust metabolism. Figure 1The diagram shows the metabolic pathway of mevalonic acid fermented by yeast in nature. Mevalonic acid is expensive and needs to be stored in a low temperature, dark and dry environment. It is easily degraded or inactivated by factors such as light, heat and humidity. Saccharomyces boulardii is a subspecies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces boulardii, as a probiotic, has a high degree of safety and tolerance in the human body and can reduce side effects during drug delivery. Secondly, the intestinal colonization ability of Saccharomyces boulardii contributes to the stable release and absorption of drug molecules in the intestine, thereby improving the bioavailability and efficacy of drugs. Using Saccharomyces boulardii as a chassis organism, high expression of mevalonic acid is achieved through genetic engineering technology. This innovative strategy provides a simple, convenient and efficient new way for probiotic drug delivery. As a widely recognized probiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii has excellent intestinal colonization ability and stability, which makes it an ideal carrier for drug delivery.

[0006] However, although Saccharomyces boulardii has shown significant advantages in drug delivery and probiotic applications, its potential in the efficient production of mevalonic acid has not been fully explored. Existing Saccharomyces boulardii strains have low expression efficiency in the mevalonic acid synthesis pathway and cannot meet the growing market demand and the requirements for efficient production in specific application scenarios.

The content of mevalonic acid was determined by LC-MS, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the content of mevalonic acid in the original strain was 58.67 ng / OD, and the mevalonic acid production in the culture medium was 31.63 mg / L. The content of mevalonic acid in the engineered Saccharomyces boulardii strain was 200.51 ng / OD, and the mevalonic acid production in the culture medium reached 2.32 g / L, with a significant increase in yield.

[0118] Example 3

[0119] The present embodiment provides a drug that can improve the quality of aged ovarian oocytes. The drug is a normal saline oral preparation containing engineered Saccharomyces boulardii (the recombinant Saccharomyces boulardii ESB003 in Example 1). The preparation method is to dissolve the engineered Saccharomyces boulardii in normal saline to prepare a Saccharomyces boulardii oral solution with a concentration of 100OD, that is, a normal saline solution oral preparation of Saccharomyces boulardii engineered bacteria.

[0120] The oral preparation of physiological saline solution of the engineered bacteria Saccharomyces boulardii is used to improve the quality of aged ovarian oocytes.

[0121] (1) 9.5-month-old C57BL6 mice were divided into three groups: a control group (normal saline solution), a wild-type Saccharomyces boulardii administration group, and a Saccharomyces boulardii engineering bacteria administration group (oral preparation of normal saline solution of Saccharomyces boulardii engineering bacteria). The mice were given drugs at 16:00 every day. The control group, the wild-type Saccharomyces boulardii administration group, and the Saccharomyces boulardii engineering bacteria administration group were gavaged with 100 μL of OD 600 =100, administered continuously for 14 days.

[0122] (2) Weigh the mice in each group, kill them by dislocation, make a U-shaped incision in the lower abdomen, expose the gross visceral structure of the abdominal cavity, look for the double uterine body, and extend upward to look for the ovaries connected to the fallopian tubes. Remove the fat tissue around the ovaries under a stereoscope and take pictures. Place the photographed ovarian tissue on dry sterile gauze, and weigh it using an electronic analytical balance after no liquid remains. Calculate the ovarian index according to the following formula: Ovarian index (ovarian index) = ovarian weight (mg) / body weight (g) × 100%. After fixation and embedding, the ovarian tissue was serially sectioned and the number of follicles at each level was calculated after HE staining. The results are as follows. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: Figure 4 a, b, and c are white light images of the ovaries of the control group, the wild-type Saccharomyces boulardii administration group, and the Saccharomyces boulardii engineered bacteria administration group, respectively. Figure 4 d are the ovarian index statistics of the control group, the wild-type Saccharomyces boulardii administration group and the Saccharomyces boulardii engineering bacteria administration group, Figure 5 a, b, and c are the HE staining results of ovarian sections of the control group, the wild-type Saccharomyces boulardii administration group, and the Saccharomyces boulardii engineering bacteria administration group, respectively. Figure 5 d are statistical graphs of the number of follicles in the control group, the wild-type Saccharomyces boulardii administration group, and the Saccharomyces boulardii engineered bacteria administration group.

[0123] As can be seen from the figure, administration of engineered Saccharomyces boulardii to aged mice for 14 days significantly increased the ovarian weight, ovarian index and the number of follicles at all levels.

[0124] Therefore, in vivo supplementation of the engineered Saccharomyces boulardii (the recombinant Saccharomyces boulardii ESB003 in Example 1) disclosed in the present invention can improve the ovarian reserve of aged mice, and further, the engineered Saccharomyces boulardii can be used to prepare drugs for improving the quality of aged ovarian oocytes.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any form, and any technical solution obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
