Abstract
Background and Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third most deadly cancer in the world. According to recent experimental reports, probiotics and their derivatives protect CRC patients from treatment-related side effects. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the cytotoxic impact of the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of Lentilactobacillus buchneri on the HT-29 cancer cell line.
Materials and Methods: In the current study, we used the L. buchneri CFS, which was well isolated and identified in our previous investigation from traditional yogurt in the Arak region of Iran. The apoptosis induction in HT-29 cancer cells was assessed by cell cytotoxicity, flow cytometry, and qRT-PCR.
Results: L. buchneri CFS inhibited the proliferation of HT-29 cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The apoptotic effect of CFS was further supported by the flow cytometry data, which showed that the maximum incidence of apoptosis 50 was observed in HT-29 cancer cells treated with the IC concentration of CFS after 72 hours. CFS of L. buchneri also exerted the up-regulating effect on the expression of pro-apoptotic genes including BAX, CASP9, and CASP3. L. buchneri CFS at an IC 50 dose induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase in HT-29 cells.
Conclusion: This study indicates that L. buchneri CFS can prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) development in patients by inducing cancer cell apoptosis. This finding suggests that the CFS of L. buchneri could be used as a therapeutic agent for the control of CRC.
期刊介绍：
The Iranian Journal of Microbiology (IJM) is an international, multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that provides rapid publication of the most advanced scientific research in the areas of basic and applied research on bacteria and other micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi, microalgae, and protozoa concerning the development of tools for diagnosis and disease control, epidemiology, antimicrobial agents, clinical microbiology, immunology, Genetics, Genomics and Molecular Biology. Contributions may be in the form of original research papers, review articles, short communications, case reports, technical reports, and letters to the Editor. Research findings must be novel and the original data must be available for review by the Editors, if necessary. Studies that are preliminary, of weak originality or merely descriptive as well as negative results are not appropriate for the journal. Papers considered for publication must be unpublished work (except in an abstract form) that is not under consideration for publication anywhere else, and all co-authors should have agreed to the submission. Manuscripts should be written in English.
