Abstract

A living therapeutic system based on attenuated Salmonella was developed via metabolic engineering using an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer MA. The engineered bacteria could localize in the tumor tissues and continue to colonize and express exogenous genes. Under light irradiation, the encoded VEGFR2 gene was released and expressed in tumor tissues, which can suppress angiogenesis induced by a T cell-mediated autoimmune response and inhibit tumor growth.
