Abstract
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastrointestinal malignancy. And probiotics may have the function of preventing colon cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of a probiotic mixture on colorectal cancer and its potential mechanisms. METHODS: The effects of the probiotic mixture on proliferation and metastasis of mouse colon cancer CT26 cells were assessed by probiotics and cells co-culture assay, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, wound-healing assay, as well as migration and invasion assays. And CT26 cells were also transplanted into BALB/c mice to construct transplanted tumor animal model. The mice were randomly divided into two groups, control group and probiotic mixture intragastric administration group, after injection 21 days the tumor size and infiltration of immune cells in the tumor or spleen tissues were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. RESULTS: The probiotic mixture significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration ability of CT26 cells compare to the control cells (P<0.05). In the animal experiments, the tumor volume of mice that had been fed the probiotic mixture was significantly smaller than that of the control group (P<0.05). Compared with control mice, more apoptotic cells and infiltration of immune cells were showed in the tumor tissues of the mice treated with the probiotic mixture, and an increased number of CD8+ cells in the tumor and spleen tissues but no significant change in tissues. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that the probiotic mixture could inhibit the growth of CT26 tumors and induce an immune response in vivo. The probiotic mixture also inhibited the invasion, migration, and proliferation ability of CT26 cells in vitro. 2020 Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology. All rights reserved.
