Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bioengineering and animal nutrition, and relates to a recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum capable of secreting chicken insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a construction method thereof, and application thereof in promoting the growth of chickens. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chicken insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide hormone belonging to the insulin family, mainly synthesized in the liver and plays an important biological role in the body. The molecular structure of IGF-1 is similar to that of insulin, consisting of 70 amino acid residues, with two polypeptide chains and multiple disulfide bonds, forming a stable three-dimensional structure. Chicken IGF-1 is mainly synthesized by the liver and is regulated by growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone stimulates hepatocytes to synthesize IGF-1, which enters the blood circulation and affects the whole body tissue. IGF-1 has multiple biological functions such as promoting animal growth and development, regulating metabolism, promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, and anti-apoptosis. IGF-1 plays a key role in the growth and development of chickens, promoting the growth of bone, muscle and fat metabolism. IGF-1 can improve the uptake of glucose by cells, promote protein synthesis and fat decomposition, thereby improving the metabolic state. IGF-1 promotes the proliferation and differentiation of muscle satellite cells, and has a significant impact on muscle growth and regeneration. IGF-1 can inhibit cell apoptosis and enhance cell survival, thereby supporting the healthy development of tissues. Optimizing the expression and activity of IGF-1 through genetic engineering, nutritional regulation or other technical means is expected to achieve more efficient breeding and meat quality improvement.

[0003] Recombinant IGF-1 expression is currently mainly achieved through gene cloning and recombination technologies, expressing chicken IGF-1 in *Escherichia coli*, yeast, *Lactococcus lactis*, eukaryotic cells, and transgenic plants. These studies provide a foundation for subsequent functional research and applications. Functional studies of IGF-1 primarily utilize viral vectors and transfection techniques to introduce the IGF-1 gene into chicken embryos or muscle cells, observing its role in muscle growth and development. Gene editing technologies such as CRISPR / Cas9 are also used to construct transgenic chicken models with IGF-1 overexpression or deletion to study its specific functions in growth, development, and metabolic regulation.Current research indicates that overexpression of the IGF-1 gene can significantly improve the growth performance and meat quality of chickens, enhance disease resistance, and has a certain regulatory effect on metabolic diseases [Wang, Y., et al. (2019). "Expression and Functional Analysis of Chicken IGF-1 in Transgenic Models." Transgenic Research, 28(3), 399-410; Zhao, R., et al. (2020). "Development of a Recombinant Chicken IGF-1 for Growth Promotion in Poultry." Poultry Science, 99(12), 6435-6444; Li, H., et al. (2021). "Gene Editing of IGF-1 in Chickens: Implications for Growth and Metabolism." Animal Biotechnology, 32(1), 55-64; Chen, Y., et al. (2022). "Advances in the Expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 in Chicken Models." BMCGenomics, 23(1), 112; Sun, J., et al. (2023). "CRISPR / Cas9-Mediated Knockout of IGF-1 in Chickens and Its Impact on Growth Performance." Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 14, 78; Liu S, Li Y, Deng B, XuZ. (2016)Recombinant Lactococcus lactis expressing porcine insulin-likegrowth factor I ameliorates DSS-induced colitis in mice. BMCBiotechnology.16:25.].Currently, IGF-1 expressed in *E. coli* typically exists as insoluble inclusion bodies, leading to cumbersome purification steps, high production costs, and the risk of *E. coli* endotoxin contamination. Current yeast and *Lactococcus lactis* expression systems require the addition of expensive inducers during the engineered bacterial culture process; some inducers are toxic to animals, and subsequent purification of the expressed IGF-1 is also necessary. Eukaryotic cell expression systems require expensive cell culture systems and subsequent isolation and purification. Developing a highly efficient IGF-1 expression system suitable for veterinary clinical use that does not require the addition of inducers is a practical need in the poultry industry.

[0004] Currently, the main methods for delivering chicken IGF-1 in clinical use include oral delivery, injection delivery, and delivery via genetically engineered vectors. However, each method has certain drawbacks. For example, oral delivery involves adding IGF-1 or its analogues to feed to improve growth performance and meat quality. During this process, IGF-1 molecules are interfered with and damaged by other components in the feed, and are also destroyed by gastric acid and some proteases as they pass through the stomach. Although some researchers have used microencapsulation or nanoparticle technology to delay IGF-1 release and improve its bioavailability and stability, this undoubtedly increases the cost of the product. Injection delivery involves direct intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of IGF-1, which can rapidly increase the concentration in the body and promote growth. However, with the large-scale development of poultry farming, intramuscular injection is impractical for delivering IGF-1.The use of genetic engineering technology to develop gene vectors to express IGF-1 for gene therapy or gene enhancement is currently limited to the treatment of human diseases, and has not yet been reported in the field of animal husbandry. [Parker, S., et al. (2018). "Oral Delivery of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Improves Growth Performance in Broilers." Poultry Science, 97(10), 3565-3572; Zhang, J., et al. (2020). "Effects of Different Delivery Methods of IGF-1 on Growth Performance in Chickens." Journal of Animal Science, 98(2), 1-8; Shen, W., et al. (2021). "Sustained Release of IGF-1 from Nanoparticles Enhances Muscle Growth in Poultry." Journal of Controlled Release, 330, 194-203; Li, X., et al. (2022). "Gene Delivery of IGF-1 in Chickens: A New Approach toEnhance Growth Performance." AnimalBiotechnology, 33(1), 1-10; Wang, Y., et al. (2023). "Comparative Study ofDifferent IGF-1 Delivery Systems onMuscle Development in Broilers." Frontiersin Veterinary Science, 10, 123456.]. Summary of the Invention
