Abstract

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the cytotoxic effects of local probiotic bacteria, including Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus brevis, while isolated from "Tarkhine" food and the induction of apoptosis in the HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line and normal fibroblasts.Methods: HT-29 and L-929 cell lines were treated with cell-bound exopolysaccharide extract (cb-EPS) from L. paracasei and L. brevis.The MTT assay was used to analyze cell viability.Cellular apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry and DNA fragmentation assay.Results: The cb-EPS from both probiotic bacteria prevented the proliferation of HT-29 colon cancer cells.In addition, the cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects of the exopolysaccharide extract from both bacteria in L-929 fibroblasts were much lower than HT-29 cells.The induction of apoptosis in HT-29 cells was observed at 48h compared with 72h.It seems that the exopolysaccharides extracted from both bacteria have a greater effect on the induction of apoptosis at 48h.The cb-EPS of L. brevis showed more potent anti-proliferative and apoptotic properties than the cb-EPS of L. paracasei.The ladder pattern of DNA fragmentation confirmed the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. Conclusion:The results of the MTT assay and apoptosis indicate that the induction of apoptosis by the exopolysaccharide from bacteria depends on the dose, time, and strain of bacteria.Further studies may contribute toward the understanding of using these probiotic bacteria as biological products to treat and prevent cancers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
