Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of new materials and their application technology, specifically to the application of electrogenic microbial vesicles in the preparation of drugs or biological agents for regulating the functions of organisms. Background Technology
[0002] Microbial vesicles, as natural nanoscale lipid bilayer structures, have shown great potential in the biomedical field due to their unique physicochemical properties and biological functions. These spherical particles carry a variety of bioactive molecules derived from microorganisms, such as lipopolysaccharides, outer membrane proteins, periplasmic proteins, and nucleic acids, and can serve as natural intercellular communication carriers, precisely regulating host functions at the molecular and cellular levels. However, single-component vesicles often cannot cope with the complexity of the disease microenvironment and lack the ability to integrate multiple functions according to treatment needs, resulting in low treatment efficiency.
[0003] In nature, there exists a special group of microorganisms known as electroactive microorganisms, including species such as *Shewanella* and *Geobacterium*, which possess unique extracellular electron transport capabilities. These microorganisms transfer electrons generated intracellularly to extracellular solid-state acceptors through multiple electron transport pathways, including cytochrome proteins, conductive nanowires, and redox-active small molecules. Vesicles secreted by these electroactive microorganisms inevitably encapsulate electron transport elements such as cytochrome proteins and conductive appendages from the parent bacterial membrane during their formation, endowing them with unique electrochemical activity. However, current technology lacks understanding of this subgroup of microbial vesicles with redox activity and conductivity, failing to distinguish them from ordinary microbial vesicles and failing to specifically develop and utilize them.
[0004] Numerous studies have confirmed that endogenous electrical signals play a crucial guiding role in tissue development and regeneration. Damage to tissues such as skin, bone, nerves, and myocardium generates changes in transepithelial potential differences, forming an endogenous electric field that guides immune cell chemotaxis, stem cell migration and differentiation, and orderly tissue reconstruction. However, current strategies for simulating or enhancing this electrical microenvironment using biomaterials to promote tissue regeneration primarily rely on non-biosynthetic systems such as conductive polymers, carbon-based nanomaterials, or piezoelectric materials. These exogenous conductive materials generally suffer from inherent drawbacks such as non-biodegradability, chronic inflammatory responses, and low electrical coupling efficiency with host tissues. Currently, there is a lack of naturally derived, highly biocompatible bioactive materials capable of establishing effective electrical communication with host tissues to respond to or regulate the endogenous electrical signaling network of tissue regeneration.
[0005] Therefore, the targeted extraction of electroactive microbial vesicles from electroactive microorganisms, the systematic characterization of their electron transfer and electroregulation functions, and the development of them into natural bioelectronic materials that can respond to and regulate the tissue electromicroenvironment are the technological gaps and key bottlenecks that urgently need to be overcome in the current research and application of microbial vesicles. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Based on this, this application provides at least the use of electrogenic microbial vesicles in the preparation of drugs or biological agents for regulating the functions of organisms.
[0007] In a first aspect of this application, the use of electrogenic microbial vesicles in the preparation of drugs or biological agents for regulating the function of organisms is provided.
[0008] In a second aspect of this application, a method for regulating cell function in vitro is provided, the method comprising:
[0009] Mix electrogenic microbial vesicles as defined above with cells to allow them to interact;
[0010] Assess changes in cell function.
[0011] The electrogenic microbial vesicles of this application for regulating the functions of organisms have at least the following advantages compared to existing technologies:
[0012] 1. This application is the first to extract and isolate bacterial exovesicles with stable electrochemical activity from electroactive microorganisms, and systematically characterize their electron transfer capabilities. It innovatively expands microbial vesicles from simple "biochemical carriers" to "bioelectronic functional units", providing a new natural source material for bioelectronic medicine.
[0013] 2. The electroactive microbial vesicles provided in this application have a lipid bilayer shell with natural biocompatibility and degradability, enabling them to establish close electrical communication with host cells or tissues. After completing their electroregulation function, they can be safely metabolized by the body, fundamentally avoiding the safety hazards caused by the low electrical communication efficiency and long-term retention of synthetic materials.
[0014] 3. Existing microbial vesicle technologies can only regulate the biochemical signaling pathways of target cells by loading molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Their functional dimensions are limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of tissue engineering applications highly sensitive to electrical signals, such as nerve regeneration and myocardial repair. This application utilizes the naturally occurring "dual-mode signaling" capability of electroactive microbial vesicles—they can not only deliver biochemical signaling molecules but also act as nanoscale "charge shuttles," directly providing electrons to target cells or the tissue microenvironment and regulating transmembrane potential, achieving spatiotemporal synergistic regulation of electrical and biochemical signals. This multimodal synergistic effect demonstrates therapeutic potential in promoting targeted tissue regeneration and functional reconstruction that is unparalleled by traditional vesicle technologies.
[0015] 4. The electroactive microbial vesicles provided in this application can simulate and enhance the endogenous electrical signal network after tissue damage, guide the directional migration and differentiation of stem cells, promote functional neural synaptic connections and myocardial reconstruction, and elevate the scope of tissue repair application of microbial vesicles from "structural repair" to a new level of "functional electrointegrative repair".

[0048] In some embodiments, the electrogenic microbial vesicles possess excellent redox capabilities and electron transport capabilities.
[0049] In some embodiments, the electrogenic microbial vesicles have low electrical impedance, for example, 12.5 Ω to 13 Ω.
[0050] For electrogenic microbial vesicles, low impedance means that they have good electron transport capabilities on their surface or inside, which is conducive to promoting the formation of electroactive biofilms or intercellular electron exchange.
[0051] In some embodiments, the electrogenic microbial vesicles are obtained by extracting electrogenic microorganisms after interventional culture.
[0052] For example, the intervention culture includes stress culture of electrogenic microorganisms using at least one of antibiotics, chelating agents, L-cysteine, elevated temperature, varying pH, varying dissolved oxygen, carbon source starvation, and amino acid starvation.

Activation and amplification culture of strains: Single colonies of electrogenic microorganisms were inoculated into liquid culture medium and cultured under aerobic conditions with shaking until the bacterial concentration reached the middle and late stages of the logarithmic growth phase to obtain seed culture;
[0057] S200. Stress-induced culture: The seed culture is transferred to fresh liquid culture medium at a volume ratio of 1:(50~200), and a certain concentration of β-lactam antibiotics (such as ampicillin) is added to the culture medium as a stress inducer. The culture is shaken at a suitable temperature until the bacterial concentration reaches the middle and late logarithmic growth phase again to obtain the fermentation culture medium.
[0058] S300. Supernatant collection: Centrifuge the fermentation broth at medium to low speed (e.g., 8000 rpm) to remove the cell precipitate and collect the supernatant;
[0059] S400. Sterile filtration: The supernatant is filtered through a microporous membrane (e.g., a 0.45 μm needle filter membrane) to remove residual bacteria and large particulate impurities (including but not limited to residual bacterial fragments, denatured protein aggregates, and insoluble matter in the culture medium) to obtain a sterile filtrate;
[0060] S500. Primary Concentration: The sterile filtrate is placed in an ultrafiltration tube with a molecular weight cutoff of 50 KD~150 KDa and centrifuged at low temperature to obtain a concentrated solution.
[0061] S600. Collection of vesicles by ultracentrifugation: The concentrate is subjected to ultracentrifugation (e.g., 150,000 g) under a hypergravity field to cause the nanoscale vesicles to settle. The supernatant is discarded, and the precipitate is resuspended in buffer solution to obtain an electrogenic microbial vesicle suspension.
[0062] Electrogenic microorganisms are mainly concentrated in the phyla Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Rubus, Shewanella, Lactococcus, and Escherichia coli. Electrogenic microorganisms produce electrons during the metabolism of organic matter and transmit them through an electron transport chain. The electrogenic microorganisms on the anode can be considered a mixture of cells with different functions; they serve as the power source for the cells and can be used for power generation and proliferation.
[0063] In some embodiments, the electrogenic microorganisms include, but are not limited to, microorganisms of the genera *Shewanella* and *Geobacter*.

[0066] S100'. Mix electrogenic microbial vesicles as defined above with cells to allow them to interact;
[0067] S200'. Assess changes in cell function.
[0068] For example, in step S100', an electrogenic microbial vesicle is used to interact with the cell using a co-incubation method.
[0069] In some embodiments, the cells include one or more of mesenchymal stem cells, fibroblasts, cardiomyocytes, and bacterial cells.
[0070] In some implementations, changes in cellular function are assessed from at least one of the cellular, molecular, and bioinformatics analyses.

[0074] In some implementations, step S1200 includes: assessing the functional changes in the animal from aspects such as macroscopic observation, medical imaging, histopathology, and immunofluorescence.
[0075] The following are some examples.
[0076] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to examples. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. For experimental methods in the following embodiments where conditions are not specified, reference should be made to the guidelines given in this application, or to experimental manuals or conventional conditions in the art, or to the conditions recommended by the manufacturer, or to experimental methods known in the art.
[0077] The practicality of the electrogenic microbial vesicles for regulating the functions of organisms in this application will be described below with reference to Example 1.
[0078] In the following examples, Shewanella MR-1 was selected as the electrogenic microorganism, the culture intervention method was the antibiotic stress method, and the vesicle extraction method was a combination of differential centrifugation and density gradient centrifugation.
[0079] The cells used mainly consist of fibroblasts and bacterial cells capable of expressing functional proteins.
[0080] The cell function regulation involved mainly includes fibroblast differentiation and the expression of functional proteins (human epidermal growth factor) in bacterial cells.
[0081] Animal function regulation mainly includes the treatment of ischemic stroke.
[0082] Example 1
[0083] Pick a single colony from an LB agar plate and inoculate it into 100 mL of LB liquid medium. Incubate overnight at 30 °C and 200 rpm with aerobic culture until OD reaches zero. 600 =0.8-1, approximately 12-16 h. The bacteria were subcultured with the culture medium at a 1:100 volume ratio, and simultaneously subjected to stress culture with 8 μg / ml ampicillin. The culture was carried out at 30°C on a shaker at 200 rpm until OD reached [value missing]. 600=1-1.6. Centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 15 min and collect the supernatant. Filter the supernatant through a 0.45 μm needle filter membrane and concentrate the filtrate using a 100 kDa, 15 mL ultrafiltration tube, centrifuging at 3500 rpm and 4℃ for 20 min. Centrifuge the concentrate at 150000 g and 4℃ for 2 h, discarding a portion of the supernatant and resuspending the precipitate in 1×PBS. Quantify the protein using a BCA kit. Figure 1 The results showed that the highest yield of microbial vesicles was observed under culture with 8 μg / ml ampicillin stress, which was 1.5 times that of the control group. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the electrogenic microbial vesicles possessed complete morphological characteristics. Figure 2 ).
[0084] The reactive oxygen species scavenging capacity of electrogenic microbial vesicles was assessed using a UV-Vis absorption spectrometer and a total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) assay kit (ABTS microplate method) (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 3 An aqueous suspension (0.4 mg / mL) of electrogenic microbial vesicles was added to a solution containing ABTS. + Samples were taken from the solution and subjected to UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy measurements. The experimental results showed that electrogenic microbial vesicles have excellent reactive oxygen species scavenging ability, indicating their potential for inflammation elimination.
[0085] The electrical properties of electrogenic microbial vesicles were evaluated using a three-electrode system on an electrochemical workstation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed that the electrogenic microbial vesicles possessed low electrical impedance (see [link to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy]). Figure 4 Cyclic voltammetry (CV) revealed that electrogenic microbial vesicles possess excellent redox and electron transport capabilities (see [reference needed]). Figure 5 ).
[0086] Immunofluorescence staining was used to assess the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts (collagen secretion and α-SMA (myofibroblast marker)) (see [link]). Figure 6 The results showed that the addition of electrogenic microbial vesicles significantly reduced collagen secretion and decreased the number of myofibroblasts.
[0087] The regulatory role of electrogenic microbial vesicles on microbial metabolism was assessed using ELISA. The results showed that the presence of vesicles significantly increased the ability of engineered microorganisms to express functional proteins (human epidermal growth factor) (see [link to ELISA]). Figure 7 ).
[0088] A cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was established using middle cerebral artery occlusion. Two hours after reperfusion, the rats were given the first dose of microbial vesicles, administered once daily for seven consecutive days. After the intervention, the rats were re-anesthetized, and the entire brain was removed and placed in PBS at 4 °C. The brain was then rapidly transferred to a -20 °C freezer for 30 min. The olfactory bulb, cerebellum, and brainstem were removed, and coronal sections with a thickness of 2 mm were prepared. The brain sections were incubated in 2% TTC solution at 37 °C for 30 min, with the sections being rotated every 5 min to ensure complete contact with the solution. Subsequently, the brain sections were washed three times with PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 6 h, and then photographed. The experimental results showed that the microbial vesicles exhibited excellent therapeutic effects on cerebral infarction; the results are shown below. Figure 8 .
[0089] In summary, this application provides an electrogenic microbial vesicle for regulating the functions of organisms. By utilizing the electron shuttle capability, immune activation ability, and close electrical communication established with host cells or tissues of the electrogenic microbial vesicle, it is possible to achieve functional regulation of various cells, as well as tissue regeneration, functional regulation, and disease treatment functions in organisms. The electrogenic microbial vesicle proposed in this application holds promise for providing a new application direction for bioelectronic medicine.
