The invention discloses creation of engineered
escherichia coli expressing and secreting FGF19 and application of the engineered
escherichia coli in improvement of
colitis, and belongs to the technical field of
biology. According to the
engineering bacterium, E.coli Nissle 1917 is taken as a
chassis bacterium, and a section of 1020 bp
nucleotide sequence
expression cassette comprising an anaerobic
promoter (PfnrS), a
ribosome binding site (RBS), an
escherichia coli ompA
signal peptide, a human FGF19 CDS and an rrnB1 terminator sequence is inserted on an exo / cea site of a
genome of the
engineering bacterium through a
CRISPR-Cas9
gene editing technology. The
growth curve of the strain is not obviously different from that of a
wild strain, the FGF19
gene and
protein can be expressed under an anaerobic culture condition, and the concentration of the FGF19 secreted into a culture medium in a logarithmic phase (6 hours) reaches 8 ng / mL. By
oral administration of the
engineering bacterium EcN FGF19-01 or the microcapsule wrapping the engineering bacterium EcN FGF19-01, the weight of mice with
colitis can be remarkably improved, and the
diarrhea index and
intestinal mucosa injury can be reduced. The engineering bacterium EcN FGF19-01 disclosed by the invention is used for preparing a pharmaceutical composition, a health care product and a
feed additive for relieving
colitis, and has a very wide application prospect.
