Usage and Biology

In modern society, more and more people suffer from mild or severe depression. It has been reported that malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the plasma of depressed patients is significantly increased. After receiving conventional antidepressant treatment, the patient's MDA level decreased to the same as that of healthy people. Therefore, researchers believe that oxidative stress may play an important role in the occurrence and development of depression, and the activity of antidepressant therapy may be mediated by improving oxidative stress/antioxidant function. We attempt to express an antioxidant enzyme system (peroxidase gene efeB) in the cell or on the surface of the engineered probiotic bacteria to inhibit the production of malondialdehyde (MDA) by human cells and prevent cell oxidation from causing health damage to the body. So as to prevent or alleviate the condition of depression. The oxidation rate of peroxisome increases in proportion to the increase of oxygen tension. Especially in the case of high oxygen concentrations, the oxidation reaction of peroxisomes dominates. This characteristic allows peroxisomes to protect cells from the toxic effects of high concentrations of oxygen. efeB reduces the oxidative stress in the cell by competing with mitochondria for oxygen, and reduces the MDA produced during the oxidation of lipids.

The growth of engineering bacteria under H2O2 treatment conditions

The bacteria A contains plasmid A, pUC57-efeB. The bacteria C contains plasmid C, pUC57-efeB-amilGFP. The bacteria D contains plasmid D, pUC57. The bacteria are placed in 2.5mM hydrogen peroxide and their growth is measured for the first 4 hours. Bacteria D, without the efeB gene, has lower growth than bacteria A and bacteria C. This shows that efeB gene helps bacteria to grow when ROS is present.

MDA and Fluorescence Measuring

Bacteria A, C, D were placed in hydrogen peroxide solution for 21 hours and the concentration of MDA was measured. Bacteria A and C kept the MDA concentration dramatically lower than those of Bacteria D under the hydrogen peroxide concentration of 0mM, 2mM and 2.5mM. There is a certain amount of MDA concentration within DH5α when the H2O2 concentration is 0mM. Starting from the original DH5α MDA concentration to the higher MDA concentration imposed by the 2mM and 2.5mM H2O2 concentration, Bacteria A and C with the efeB gene all effectively reduced the MDA concentration to the level lower than Bacteria D.
