Abstrakt: Cancer cells predominantly adapt the frequent but less efficient glycolytic process to produce ATPs rather than the highly efficient oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Such a regulated metabolic pattern in cancer cells offers promising therapeutic opportunities to kill tumors by glucose depletion or glycolysis blockade. In addition, to guarantee tumor-specific therapeutic targets, effective tumor-homing, accumulation, and retention strategies toward tumor regions should be elaborately designed. In the present work, genetically engineered tumor-targeting microbes (transgenic microorganism EcM-GDH ( Escherichia coli MG1655) expressing exogenous glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) have been constructed to competitively deprive tumors of glucose nutrition for metabolic intervention and starvation therapy. Our results show that the engineered EcM-GDH can effectively deplete glucose and trigger pro-death autophagy and p53-initiated apoptosis in colorectal tumor cells/tissues both in vitro and in vivo . The present design illuminates the promising prospects for genetically engineered microbes in metabolic intervention therapeutics against malignant tumors based on catalytically nutrient deprivation, establishing an attractive probiotic therapeutic strategy with high effectiveness and biocompatibility.
