Exploring the Anticancer Efficacy of Mixture of Local Probiotics on MDA-MB-۲۳۱ and MCF-۷ Breast Cell Lines

This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity of a probiotic mixture on human breast cancer cell lines. To prepare the mixture, local probiotic bacteria were cultured, and the lyophilized supernatant was applied for downstream experiments. The antioxidant activity, total phenol content (TPC), and fatty acid composition of the bacterial supernatant (BS) were also measured. The possible cytotoxic/anti-proliferative effect of the probiotic mixture was accessed on both breast cancer cell lines at different concentrations using MTT assay. Furthermore, the apoptosis-inducing effects of the same mixture was studied by DAPI staining. The highest level of antioxidant activity and total phenol content (TPC) were detected for the BS at ۳۲۰۰ µg/ml. According to the GC–MS analysis, linoleic acid (۳۷.۴۰ %) and oleic acid (۲۶.۹۳ %) were identified as the major fatty acids of the BS. The MTT assay showed that the BS has anti-proliferative effects on MDA-MB-۲۳۱ and MCF-۷ cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner (IC۵۰: ۳۲۰۰ μg/ml). The apoptosis-inducing effects of the mixture was confirmed in both cell lines through morphological analyses of the cells’ nucleoli, and the formation of apoptotic bodies. According to these experiments, cytotoxic effects and apoptosis-inducing potential were confirmed for the BS against two human breast cancer cell lines, including MDA-MB-۲۳۱, and MCF-۷. Hence, it could be considered as a suitable anti-cancer agent.
