Effective, user-friendly, lifestyle-compatible, and economic treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) is urgently needed due to its high incidence and health threats. Here, we remolded Lactococcus lactis through genetic engineering to persistently secrete glucagon-like peptide-1 (L. lactis-GLP-1) and subsequent bioorthogonal arming with dopamine (DA)-based "gripper" and β-glucan (GN)-based "shield" (L. lactis-GLP-1-DA@GN) for treatment of T2D mice via oral administration. With protection by GN-based "shield", L. lactis-GLP-1-DA@GN achieved an impressive enhancement of survival by 20666 times compared with bare L. lactis-GLP-1 after experiencing gastrointestinal conditions and DA-based "gripper" was shielded from interaction with the upper digestive tract. Once prebiotic GN was metabolized by gut microbiota into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), underlying DA-based "gripper" was exposed to assist intestinal colonization of L. lactis-GLP-1, achieving synergistic treatment effects through secreted GLP-1 and SCFAs. With all advances, oral administration of L. lactis-GLP-1-DA@GN realized effective T2D treatment through improving glucose/lipid homeostasis, repairing major organs' damages, and positively modulating gut microbiota. Moreover, multi-omics analysis revealed that L. lactis-GLP-1-DA@GN also mainly intervened in liver's signaling pathways regarding lipid metabolism and oxidative regulation to advance anti-T2D process. Our strategy marks reconstruction of probiotics by combining chemical and biological tools, broadening the avenue of manipulating probiotics for disease treatments.
