AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Course administration of the recombinant probiotic subalin was shown to significantly potentiate the cytotoxic action of macrophages from healthy and tumor-bearing mice against mastocytoma P-815 cells and syngeneic target cells of lung sarcoma of Lewis. Carrageenan, an inhibitor of macrophage activity, significantly cut down the antimetastaic effect of subalin. The crucial role of macrophages in the mechanism of this function of the drug is discussed.

Human β-defensin (HBD) has been recognized as a promising antimicrobial agent due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. In our previous work, we engineered a chimeric human β-defensin, designated H4, by fusing human β-defensin 3 and human β-defensin 4, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity and salt stability. However, the high cost of chemical synthesis due to the relatively large number of amino acids in H4 has limited its applications.

2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is the most abundant human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). 2'-FL exhibits great benefits for infant health, such as preventing infantile diarrhea and promoting the growth of intestinal probiotics. The microbial cell factory technique has shown promise for the massive production of 2'-FL.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing problem worldwide, and new treatment options for bacterial infections are direly needed. Engineered probiotics show strong potential in treating or preventing bacterial infections. However, one concern with the use of live bacteria is the risk of the bacteria acquiring genes encoding for AMR or virulence factors through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and the transformation of the probiotic into a superbug.
