AimsColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. This study aimed to explore the effects of Polysaccharide of Lactobacillus casei SB27 in colon cancer and its possible mechanisms.MethodsColon cancer was induced by giving dextran sulfate sodium and Azoxymethane. Uman Colon Cancer Cell Line (HCT)‐116 cells were used to vitro model in this experiment.ResultsPolysaccharide of L. casei SB27 reduced colon cancer in azoxymethane‐dextran sulfate sodium (AOM+DSS)‐induced mice. Polysaccharide of L. casei SB27 reduced colon cancer prognosis in vitro model. Polysaccharide of L. casei SB27 reduced short chain fatty acids by Bacillus coli. Polysaccharide of L. casei promoted mitochondrial damage by Calcium ion entry. Polysaccharide of L. casei induced histidine nucleotide binding protein 2/mitochondrial calcium uniporter (HINT2/MCU) signaling pathway. Immunocoprecipitation (IP) showed that HINT2 protein interlinked MCU protein. Polysaccharide of L. casei suppressed HINT2 ubiquitination. The regulation of HINT2 affected the effects of L. casei polysaccharide on colon cancer prognosis and mitochondrial damage by Calcium ion entry in vitro model.ConclusionIn conclusion, the present report demonstrated that polysaccharide of L. casei SB27 reduced colon cancer cell prognosis through mitochondrial damage by upregulation of HINT2. Polysaccharide of L. casei SB27 might be used for colon cancer treatment and could be helpful for personalized treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
