In the iGEM Competition, we celebrate student effort and achievement. The Attributions form helps the judges differentiate between what students accomplished from how their external collaborators supported them. Therefore, teams must clearly explain on the standard Project Attributions form what work they have conducted by themselves and what has been done by others.

Coach and assist team members in the following: We designed self-assembled nanocapsules based on 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycerin-3-phosphoethanolamine (DLPC) to prevent potential exposure of immunogenic components and division of engineered bacteria. 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycerin-3-phosphoethanolamine polyethylene glycol (DSPE-PEG) is used as the main component of the membrane, and cholesterol (1% w/w) is added to improve the stability of the membrane. Calcium ion solution is used to promote the self-assembly of engineering bacteria surface facial mask. Afterwards, we diluted and inoculated conventional engineering bacteria and engineering bacteria loaded in nanocapsules onto the agar plates used in the first iteration to investigate whether nanocapsules inhibit bacterial division. In addition, we also used DMAO/PI staining to determine whether the engineered bacteria maintained normal survival rates. Proving the inhibitory effect of vesicles on the division of engineering bacteria. Afterwards, normal engineering bacteria and bacteria encapsulated in nanocapsules were cultured at the same concentration in PBS buffer with the highest glucose concentration (1+B51.0 mmol/L), aiming to inhibit the proliferation of normal engineering bacteria caused by the lack of exogenous amino acids and nucleotides. To detect the secretion of SCFA and GLP-1 recombinant proteins, we used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and GLP-1 ELISA kit to measure the levels of target substances in the buffer. The results indicate that both normal engineering bacteria and engineering bacteria encapsulated in nanocapsules can produce target products. However, the production of GLP-1 is 53.7% of that of normal bacteria. This indicates that although GLP-1 recombinant protein can pass through phospholipid complex vesicles, its diffusion rate per unit time is relatively low.

Coach and assist team members in the following: Due to the presence of kanamycin resistance genes in the recombinant plasmid, we will dilute the bacterial suspension using an electroporation device and inoculate it into kanamycin L B. Select resistant colonies on agar plates. Afterwards, we will select individual colonies for amplification, extract total RNA according to the requirements of the total RNA extraction kit, and use designed primers for real-time quantitative PCR to verify whether the recombinant plasmid has been successfully introduced into the engineered bacteria. The results showed that chassis bacteria without plasmids did not grow on kanamycin plates, while engineered bacteria formed colonies on kanamycin plates. The PCR results confirmed that the plasmid had been successfully introduced into the engineered bacteria. Based on the above experimental results, we further validated the protein expression. Based on existing literature and databases, we estimate that the molecular weight of the BCoAT protein transcribed from the pET28a BCoAT His plasmid should be around 46 kDa. We will treat the engineered bacteria at the highest glucose concentration L B. Cultivate in liquid medium for 8 hours to reach the logarithmic growth stage, then use an ultrasonic cell disruptor to lyse bacteria on ice and centrifuge at high speed to obtain cell-free products. SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis was used for protein separation, and His antibody was used for specific detection. We have successfully isolated the BCoAT protein, and its molecular weight is consistent with the expected value. Based on the above findings, we will further validate the expression of the second target protein. We are at the highest glucose concentration in L B. Cultivate the engineered bacteria in liquid medium for 8 hours to reach the logarithmic growth stage, and then collect the supernatant by high-speed centrifugation. Measure protein concentration using BCA protein quantification kit and separate proteins through SDS-PAGE. Subsequently, we used FLAG labeled antibodies for specific Western blot screening to capture the target protein. The results of SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and Western blot showed that the recombinant GLP-1 protein was indeed expressed in the supernatant of the engineered bacteria, which confirmed that it was successfully secreted into the extracellular space.

Specific tasks:
Design experimental procedures and guide the entire experimental process. Used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the expression of three SCFAs (acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid) produced by engineering bacteria under time-series conditions, and validated the ability of engineering bacteria to release GLP-1 through glucose concentration gradient experiments. The results indicate that compared to chassis bacteria, engineering bacteria are capable of producing all three types of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). This confirms that the BCoAT gene operates normally in engineered strains. Time series analysis showed that after 12 hours of inoculation into the new culture medium, the concentrations of the three SCFAs gradually increased, corresponding to the transition of the engineered bacteria from the logarithmic growth stage to the stable stage. Afterwards, we established a glucose concentration gradient in the culture medium and a time series at the highest glucose concentration (simulating a hyperglycemic environment) to cultivate the engineered bacteria. Afterwards, we collected the supernatant from the culture by centrifugation and measured the concentration of GLP-1 in the supernatant using ELISA to infer its release results. The results showed that under the same cultivation time conditions, the concentration of GLP-1 in the supernatant increased with the increase of glucose content in the culture medium. In the time series measurement of the highest glucose concentration (11mmol/L), GLP-1 concentration gradually increased within 12 hours and then stabilized.

Afterwards, we will select individual colonies for amplification, extract total RNA according to the requirements of the total RNA extraction kit, and use designed primers for real-time quantitative PCR to verify whether the recombinant plasmid has been successfully introduced into the engineered bacteria. The results showed that chassis bacteria without plasmids did not grow on kanamycin plates, while engineered bacteria formed colonies on kanamycin plates. The PCR results confirmed that the plasmid had been successfully introduced into the engineered bacteria. Based on the above experimental results, we further validated the protein expression. Based on existing literature and databases, we estimate that the molecular weight of the BCoAT protein transcribed from the pET28a BCoAT His plasmid should be around 46 kDa. We will treat the engineered bacteria at the highest glucose concentration L B. Cultivate in liquid medium for 8 hours to reach the logarithmic growth stage, then use an ultrasonic cell disruptor to lyse bacteria on ice and centrifuge at high speed to obtain cell-free products. SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis was used for protein separation, and His antibody was used for specific detection. We have successfully isolated the BCoAT protein, and its molecular weight is consistent with the expected value. Based on the above findings, we will further validate the expression of the second target protein. We are at the highest glucose concentration in L B. Cultivate the engineered bacteria in liquid medium for 8 hours to reach the logarithmic growth stage, and then collect the supernatant by high-speed centrifugation. Measure protein concentration using BCA protein quantification kit and separate proteins through SDS-PAGE. Subsequently, we used FLAG labeled antibodies for specific Western blot screening to capture the target protein. The results of SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and Western blot showed that the recombinant GLP-1 protein was indeed expressed in the supernatant of the engineered bacteria, which confirmed that it was successfully secreted into the extracellular space.

We used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the expression of three SCFAs (acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid) produced by engineering bacteria under time-series conditions, and validated the ability of engineering bacteria to release GLP-1 through glucose concentration gradient experiments. The results indicate that compared to chassis bacteria, engineering bacteria are capable of producing all three types of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). This confirms that the BCoAT gene operates normally in engineered strains. Time series analysis showed that after 12 hours of inoculation into the new culture medium, the concentrations of the three SCFAs gradually increased, corresponding to the transition of the engineered bacteria from the logarithmic growth stage to the stable stage. Afterwards, we established a glucose concentration gradient in the culture medium and a time series at the highest glucose concentration (simulating a hyperglycemic environment) to cultivate the engineered bacteria. Afterwards, we collected the supernatant from the culture by centrifugation and measured the concentration of GLP-1 in the supernatant using ELISA to infer its release results. The results showed that under the same cultivation time conditions, the concentration of GLP-1 in the supernatant increased with the increase of glucose content in the culture medium. In the time series measurement of the highest glucose concentration (11mmol/L), GLP-1 concentration gradually increased within 12 hours and then stabilized.
