The gastrointestinal mucosa has a remarkable ability to repair damage with the support of epidermal growth factor (EGF), which stimulates epithelial migration and proliferative reepithelialization. For the treatment of mucosal injuries, it is important to develop efficient methods for the localized delivery of mucoactive biotherapeutics. The basic idea in the present study came from the assumption that an intestinal probiotic vehicle can carry and deliver key recombinant medicinal proteins to the injured epithelial target in patients with intestinal ulcerative diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease. The study was focused on the use of the safe probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917, which was constructed to secrete human EGF in conjunction with the lipase ABC transporter recognition domain (LARD). Using the in vitro physically wounded monolayer model, ABC transporter-mediated EGF secretion by probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 was demonstrated to enhance the wound-healing migration of human enterocytes. Moreover, the epithelial wound closure was dependent on EGF receptor-linked activation, which exclusively involved the subsequent signaling pathway of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) extracellular-related kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). In particular, the migrating frontier of the wounded edge displayed the strongest EGF receptor-linked signaling activation in the presence of the recombinant probiotic. The present study provides a basis for the clinical application of human recombinant biotherapeutics via an efficient, safe probiotic vehicle.
