Oral administration of probiotics orchestrates the balance between intestinal microbes and the immune response. However, effective delivery and in situ colonization are limited by the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract. Herein, we provide a microfluidics-derived encapsulation strategy to address this problem. A novel synergistic delivery system composed of EcN Nissle 1917 and prebiotics, including alginate sodium and inulin gel, for treating inflammatory bowel disease and colitis-associated colorectal cancer is proposed. We demonstrated that EcN@AN microparticles yielded promising gastrointestinal resistance for on-demand probiotic delivery and colon-retentive capability. EcN@AN microparticles efficiently ameliorated intestinal inflammation and modulated the gut microbiome in experimental colitis. Moreover, the prebiotic composition of EcN@AN enhanced the fermentation of relative short-chain fatty acid metabolites, a kind of postbiotics, to exert anti-inflammatory and tumor-suppressive effects in murine models. This microfluidcis-based approach for the coordinated delivery of probiotics and prebiotics may have broad implications for gastrointestinal bacteriotherapy applications.
口服益生菌可协调肠道微生物和免疫反应之间的平衡。然而,由于胃肠道的恶劣环境,有效的传递和原位定植受到限制。在此,我们提供了一种基于微流控的封装策略来解决这个问题。提出了一种由 EcN Nissle 1917 和包括海藻酸钠和菊粉凝胶在内的益生元组成的新型协同递送系统,用于治疗炎症性肠病和结肠炎相关结直肠癌。我们证明,EcN@AN 微球具有有前途的胃肠道抗性,可实现按需益生菌递送和结肠保留能力。EcN@AN 微球可有效改善实验性结肠炎中的肠道炎症并调节肠道微生物组。此外,EcN@AN 的益生元组成增强了相对短链脂肪酸代谢物(一种后生元)的发酵,从而在小鼠模型中发挥抗炎和肿瘤抑制作用。这种基于微流控的益生菌和益生元协同递送方法可能对胃肠道细菌治疗应用具有广泛的意义。
