HlpA with INP-mRFP

HlpA is a binding protein from Streptococcus gallolyticus that binds to acetyl heparan sulfate glycoprotein (HSPG) on the tumor surface (specifically to syndecan 1, which is upregulated during carcinogenesis). HlpA has been shown to enhance the ability of engineered bacteria to penetrate colorectal tumor cells.We added the red fluorescent protein after the HlpA gene for subsequent visualization of bacterial adhesion experiments.


Characterization

Enhancement of E. coli EcN tropism for colorectal cancer

To make the engineered strain nengg better adhere to colorectal cancer cells, we used engineered bacteria carrying the adhesion proteins INP-HlpA and mRFP, and the fluorescence was significantly enhanced compared to the control engineered bacteria expressing mRFP alone, indicating that the HlpA protein could effectively improve the adhesion of EcN to colorectal cells. (where CT26 and RKO were magnified 400-fold, while RKO was magnified 300-fold), and this change was particularly evident in RKO cells.
