Abstract Title:
Effect of Heat Treatment on the Antitumor Activity of Lactoferrin in Human Colon Tumor (HT29) Model.
Abstract:
To investigate the effect of heat treatment on the antitumor activity of lactoferrin in colon cancer cells and colon tumors, the HT-29 (human intestinal epithelial tumor cell) cell line was exposed to lactoferrin and various heat treatments. The impacts on cell proliferation, invasion, and migration were observed in vitro, and nude mice bearing HT29 tumors were administered lactoferrin and underwent various heat treatments in vivo. In the HT29 cell proliferation test using transwell and scratch analyses, lactoferrin (20 mg/mL) without or with heat treatment (50 and 70°C) significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion (compared with the control, p
