摘要:

作为在多个领域具有广泛应用价值的益生菌,大肠杆菌属Nissle 1917(EcN)凭借其临床验证的安全性、优异的肠道定植能力以及与模式菌株的遗传兼容性,被认为是理想的工程化底盘微生物平台。因此,开发适用于EcN的成熟遗传操作体系,是实现其在不同领域功能化应用的基础。本文系统综述了EcN的益生菌特性,重点总结了其在遗传编辑工具开发方面的最新进展,梳理了通过基因工程手段改造EcN在疾病(如炎症性肠病、肿瘤等)治疗的药物递送系统以及高效生物合成中的应用,并进一步探讨了人工智能等前沿技术的赋能助力下,EcN工程菌在精准安全基因编辑工具开发、活体药物开发与绿色生物制造领域的发展方向与潜力。本文旨在推动EcN平台在不同领域的广泛应用,并为未来的研究与产业化应用提供参考与启示。

Abstract:

As a probiotic with broad application value across multiple fields, Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is recognized as an ideal engineered chassis microbial platform, owing to its clinically validated safety, superior gut colonization capacity, and genetic compatibility with model strains. Consequently, the development of a mature genetic manipulation system for EcN is fundamental to achieving its functional applications in diverse areas. This article systematically reviews the probiotic properties of EcN, with a focus on summarizing recent advances in the development of genetic editing tools for this strain. It further sorts applications of genetically engineered EcN in therapeutic drug delivery systems for diseases (such as inflammatory bowel disease and tumor) and in efficient biosynthesis. Finally, the review explores the future directions and potential of engineered EcN strains, empowered by cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, in the development of precise and safe gene editing tools, live biotherapeutics, and green biomanufacturing. This work aims to promote the widespread application of the EcN platform across various fields and provide insights and references for future research and industrial translation.
