Abstract Title:
Potential anticancer effects of cell wall protein fractions from Lactobacillus paracasei on human intestinal Caco-2 cell line.
Abstract:
Consumption of probiotics has an important role in colorectal cancer prevention. In this study, we aimed to explore that the cell wall protein fractions from Lactobacillus paracasei could induce apoptosis on Caco-2 cell line. The cell wall proteins from L. paracasei were fractionated by gel filtration chromatography (F1, F2 and F3) and characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The anticancer properties were evaluated using MTT assay and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. Administration of L. paracasei increased a significant concentration- and time-dependent anti-proliferative effect on Caco-2 cell line, determined by cell viability assays. However, a dramatic decrease in cell viability of Caco-2 cells was observed at the concentration of 100 µg mlof F1 L. paracasei for 72 h (58% cell viability, P
