AbstractAbstract PDF
Metabolic abnormalities are one of the main hallmarks of cancer and are associated with chemoresistance. Therefore, targeting the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells has the potential to overcome chemoresistance. Probiotic-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in biological function and intracellular communication. However, the inhibitory effect of Lactobacillus plantarum-derived EVs (LpEVs) on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells has not yet been elucidated. This study clearly revealed that increased glycolysis in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant CRC cells (CRC/5FUR) is directly related to chemoresistance and that the metabolic shift reversed by LpEVs inhibits cancer cell proliferation and eventually leads to apoptosis. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 (PDK2), one of the crucial enzymes for enhancing glycolysis, was upregulated in CRC/5FUR cells. In our study, LpEVs sensitized CRC/5FUR cells to 5-FU by attenuating PDK2 expression in p53-p21-dependent metabolic signaling, thereby circumventing 5-FU resistance. We demonstrated the effect of cellular responses to 5-FU by modifying the PDK2 expression level in both 5-FU-sensitive parental CRC and 5- FU resistant CRC cell lines. Finally, we revealed that the PDK2 signaling pathway can potentially be targeted using LpEVs treatment to overcome chemoresistant CRC, thereby providing a potential strategy for CRC treatment by intervening in tumor metabolism.

AbstractAbstract PDF
A critical obstacle to the successful treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) is chemoresistance. Chemoresistant CRC cells contribute to treatment failure by providing a mechanism of drug lethargy and modifying chemoresistance-associated molecules. The gut microbiota provide prophylactic and therapeutic effects by targeting CRC through anticancer mechanisms. Among them, Lactobacillus plantarum contributes to the health of the host and is clinically effective in treating CRC. This study confirmed that 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant CRC HCT116 (HCT116/5FUR) cells acquired butyrateinsensitive properties. To date, the relationship between 5- FU-resistant CRC and butyrate resistance has not been elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that the acquisition of butyrate resistance in HCT116/5FUR cells was strongly correlated with the inhibition of the expression and function of SMCT1, a major transporter of butyrate in colonocytes. L. plantarum-cultured cell-free supernatant (LP) restored the functional expression of SMCT1 in HCT116/5FUR cells, leading to butyrate-induced antiproliferative effect and apoptosis. These results suggest that LP has a synergistic effect on the SMCT1/butyrate-mediated tumor suppressor function and is a potential chemosensitizer to overcome dual 5-FU and butyrate resistance in HCT116 cells.

AbstractAbstract PDF
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an essential drug in systemic chemotherapy treatments for colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite the development of several treatment strategies over the past decades, the patient benefits of 5-FU-based therapies have been compromised by the development of chemoresistance. Differences in treatment responses among CRC patients may be due to genetic and epigenetic factors unique to individuals. Therefore, important factors for realizing personalized medicine are to accurately understand the causes and mechanisms of drug resistance to 5-FU-based therapies and to identify and validate prognostic biomarkers. Gut microbes that interact directly with the host contribute to human health and cancer control. Lactobacillus plantarum, in particular, has the potential to be a therapeutic agent by producing bioactive compounds that may benefit the host. Here, we investigated the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and GABAB receptor (GABABR)-dependent signaling pathway as a treatment option for 5-FU-resistant HT-29 cells. GABA-producing L. plantarum activates anti-proliferative, anti-migration, and anti-invasion effects against 5-FU-resistant HT-29 cells. The inhibitory effects of GABA-producing L. plantarum are mediated via GABABR. Activated GABABR induces apoptosis through the inhibition of cAMP-dependent signaling pathways and cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP2) expression. Thus, the GABAergic system has potential in 5- FU-resistant HT-29 cells as a predictive biomarker. In addition, GABA-producing L. plantarum is promising as an adjuvant treatment for 5-FU-resistant CRC, and its intervention in neurobiological signaling imply new possibilities for chemoprevention and the treatment of colon cancer-related diseases.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Lactobacillus plantarum-derived metabolites (LDMs) increase drug sensitivity to 5-FU and antimetastatic effects in 5-FUresistant colorectal cancer cells (HCT-116/5FUR). In this study, we evaluated the effects of LDMs on the regulation of genes and proteins involved in HCT-116/5-FUR cell proliferation and metastasis. HCT-116/5-FUR cells showed high metastatic potential, significantly reduced tight junction (TJ) integrity, including increased migration and paracellular permeability, and upregulation of claudin-1 (CLDN-1). The genetic silencing of CLDN-1 increased the sensitivity of HCT- 116/5FUR to 5-FU and inhibited its metastatic potential by regulating the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related genes. Co-treatment of HCT-116/5FUR with LDMs and 5-FU suppressed chemoresistant and metastatic behavior by downregulating CLDN-1 expression. Finally, we designed LDMs-based therapeutic strategies to treatment for metastatic 5-FU-resistant colorectal cancer cells. These
results
suggested that LDMs and 5-FU cotreatments can synergistically target 5-FU-resistant cells, making it a candidate strategy to overcome 5-FU chemoresistance improve anticancer drug efficacy.
