Design Notes
For this purpose, we referred to a study published in Nature Communications And the PATCH system was used for plasmid design. We first linked the gene fragments responsible for expressing curli fibers to the PBbB8k plasmid, then introduced a 6xHis-tagged linker to connect curli fibers with TFF3, and finally incorporated the TFF3 gene fragment. This configuration allows EcN to secrete and self-assemble curli fibers, linkers, and TFF3 upon reaching the intestine, forming an active domain layer on the intestinal surface. This promotes epithelial cell migration, reduces inflammatory factor levels, supports intestinal barrier repair, and alleviates hepatic encephalopathy complications.
