Description

Attenuated salmonella recombinant engineering bacteria expressing IFN beta, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microorganism, in particular to attenuated salmonella recombinant engineering bacteria for expressing IFN beta, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Tumor Microenvironment (TME) is an integral part of cancer, a complex ecosystem that impairs immune surveillance while supporting tumor growth and metastasis spread (Ann Oncol 2016,27 (8), 1482-1492.). Scientists have conducted many studies in remodeling tumor microenvironments to treat cancer, including targeting tumor infiltrating T cells through immune checkpoint blockade (Science 2015,348 (6230), 56-61.), normalizing blood vessels through anti-angiogenic therapy (NAT REV CLIN Oncol 2018,15 (5), 325-340), and reprogramming Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAMs) to restore anti-tumor properties (Nat Rev Drug Discov 2018,17 (12), 887-904). Neutrophils are the first line of defense in innate immunity, an important component of the tumor microenvironment, and are actively involved in tumor progression and metastasis (Pharmacol thier 2021,221,107753.). Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) have been reported to have an effect of promoting tumor growth in genetically engineered mouse cancer models (GEMMs) (Nat Commun 2017,8,14381.) but it also participates in antitumor processes by interacting with other immune cells or directly killing tumor cells (NAT REV CANCER 2020,20 (9), 485-503.).
As with TAMs, TANs can also be polarized to an anti-tumor (N1) or a pro-tumor (N2) phenotype (CANCER CELL 2009,16 (3), 183-94.). N1 neutrophils can increase immune recognition of cancer cells by progressive upregulation of neutrophil-dependent self-antigens (CANCER RES 2012,72 (13), 3153-3162.) thereby inhibiting tumor growth and lung metastasis production by H2O2 production (CANCER CELL 2011,20 (3), 300-314.). Mice with impaired type I IFN signaling (Ifnar-/-) will develop more lung metastases in the 4T1 breast Cancer and LLC lung Cancer models than control mice (Int J Cancer 2015,137 (4), 837-847.). In conclusion, IFN beta has great anti-tumor potential. As a protein drug, clinical IFN beta administration usually adopts subcutaneous injection, which can avoid first pass effect and improve bioavailability. However, single-dose drug loading is low, and it is difficult to maintain a therapeutic window for a long period of time (Biomaterials 2022,287,121619). In addition, since protein drugs are easily degraded, many strategies have been proposed to release protein drugs slowly, such as by introducing organic carriers or agarose water gels to retard Drug degradation (Adv Drug Deliv rev2017,112,106-122.Adv Funct Mater 2010,20 (2), 247-258).
Engineering bacteria are of great interest as tumor targeted drug delivery vehicles in cancer treatment because of their ability to colonize solid tumors and carry therapeutic genes, such as PD-L1 nanobody (ACTA PHARM SIN B2022,12 (10), 3952-3971) or TNF- α nanobody (Signal Transduct TARGET THER 2023,8 (1), 134). Attenuated salmonella typhimurium VNP20009 (VNP) reduces immune activation and improves targeting by deleting purI and msbB genes (Cancer Biol Ther 2005,4 (8), 840-845.) is one of the most potential strains at present. Furthermore, VNP has been widely used for drug delivery as the only strain of salmonella evaluated by clinical trials, including carrying plasmids expressing therapeutic proteins (such as anti-PD 1 nanobody or interferon-gamma) (Eur J Cancer 2017,70,48-61), cytotoxic proteins (CANCER SCI 2012,103 (2), 325-333), cytokines or immunomodulators (Mol ter 2013,21 (11), 1985-1995), tumor vaccines (J Biomed Sci 2013,20 (1), 8) or shRNA against oncogenes (CANCER RES 2007,67 (12), 5859-5864).
The present invention reports a recombinant attenuated salmonella strain expressing an interferon-beta (IFN beta) protein. The strain can target solid tumors and inhibit tumor growth, and meanwhile, certain biological safety is maintained.

Experiments were performed 3 days after tumor cell injection by 1X 10 5/mouse were inoculated intravenously at the tail of each C57BL/6 mouse.
Tumor bearing mice were grouped and bacteria were dosed: melanoma-bearing mice from B16F10 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups and were intraperitoneally injected with 1X 10 6 CFU bacteria.

According to the difference of bacterial titer in tissues, the proper bacterial liquid is obtained according to different dilution gradients, the bacterial liquid is coated on an LB plate of the kanamycin, then the bacterial liquid is inversely cultured for 12 hours in a bacterial incubator at 37 ℃ and the colony count is carried out, so that the distribution situation of the wild-type VNP and the attenuated salmonella recombinant engineering bacteria expressing IFN beta in the tissue of tumor-bearing mice is compared and analyzed (figure 10).
In vivo distribution, except for tumors, most bacteria are distributed in the liver and spleen, so the invention focuses on the enrichment degree of the modified strain in the tumors and the liver and spleen, and simultaneously analyzes the tumor targeting of the modified strain. Experimental results show that compared with wild-type VNP, the attenuated salmonella recombinant engineering bacteria expressing IFN beta have almost unchanged bacterial titer in tumors, livers and spleens, namely no obvious difference; however, the titer of the modified strain bacteria in the lung and the heart is obviously lower than that of the wild-type VNP, and the result shows that the attenuated salmonella recombinant engineering bacteria expressing the IFN beta has better tumor targeting.
