Abstract
Background: Bacteriocins are a type of antimicrobial peptide that are produced by probiotics. They have been studied as possible therapeutic drugs and have been used to suppress bacterial development in foods. Nisin is a potent bacteriocin having the anti-microbial and anti-cancer characteristics produced by Lactococcus lactis. The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of Nisin on cell adhesion and its two related genes, mmp-2 and mmp-9, in the colorectal cancer cell line.
Materials and methods: For this purpose, HT-29 cells were treated with various concentrations of Nisin and the cell cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and gene expression were evaluated using the MTT assay, cell adhesion assay, and real-time PCR.
Results: Our findings showed that 32 to 1024 μg/ml of Nisin resulted in a significant reduction in cell viability (P < 0.05). Furthermore, 128 and 256 μg/ml of Nisin significantly reduced the cell adhesion, and mmp-2 and mmp-9 gene expressions (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Our findings suggested that Nisin could prevent metastasis and cancer progression.
