项目摘要

Summary The severe acute and chronic developmental and neurological impacts of PKU seen in infants and adults are due to the presence of high concentrations of phenylalanine (Phe) in the blood. In pregnant mothers with PKU, high Phe levels significantly increase the risk of miscarriage or severe developmental disorders in the growing fetus. The adverse effects of PKU can be alleviated by lowering systemic levels of Phe, and various interventions (pharmacological, enzymatic, and diet-related) have been attempted with some success. This work is based on that hypothesis that highly active enzymes delivered by probiotic bacteria that utilize Phe as substrate can re- direct its flux away from the apical amino acid transporters in the gut and thus minimize Phe absorption in the gut. The long-term goal of this work is to develop this Altered Probiotic Therapy (APT) approach for the treatment of PKU. The objective of this proposal is to engineer the activity of a probiotic organism to deliver therapeutic Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL) enzyme to the gut and to enhance residence time for efficient Phe depletion. The APT approach can provide a novel and holistic approach to treating the various Phe-related metabolic disorders including PKU, maternal PKU, and hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA).

总结在婴儿和成人中观察到的苯丙酮尿症严重的急性和慢性发育和神经影响是这是由于血液中存在高浓度的苯丙氨酸（Phe）。在患有苯丙酮尿症的孕妇中，高水平的苯丙氨酸显著增加流产或严重发育障碍的风险，胎儿苯丙酮尿症的副作用可以通过降低系统Phe水平和各种干预措施来减轻（药理学的、酶的和饮食相关的）已经尝试了一些成功。这项工作是根据假设由利用Phe作为底物的益生菌递送的高活性酶可以引导其通量远离肠道中的顶端氨基酸转运蛋白，从而使Phe在肠道中的吸收最小化。直觉这项工作的长期目标是开发这种改变益生菌疗法（APT）的方法， PKU的治疗该提案的目的是设计益生菌生物体的活性，治疗性苯丙氨酸解氨酶（PAL）酶的肠道，并增加停留时间，以有效苯丙氨酸耗竭。APT方法可以提供一种新颖的整体方法来治疗各种Phe相关的代谢紊乱包括PKU、母体PKU和高苯丙氨酸血症（HPA）。
