Here, we green-synthesized <em>Lactobacillus plantarum</em> loaded nickel oxide nanoparticles (LpNiONPs) to assess their anticancer potential in CRC by targeting long non-coding RNA EIF3J- divergent transcript (lncRNA EIF3J-DT) and VDR. The potent bioactive component present in <em>L. plantarum</em> was identified via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis, and its interaction with VDR, as well as the functional interaction with lncRNA EIF3J-DT, were evaluated using the PyRx program and RPISeq-software, respectively. The LpNiONPs were characterized using UV–Vis spectroscopy, Zeta Potential, dynamic light scattering (DLS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The anticancer potential of LpNiONPs against HT-29 cells was assessed through 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, scratch assay, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)/ acridine orange-ethidium bromide (AO-EtBr) staining experiments, and reverse transcriptase-PCR to evaluate the expression of lncRNA EIF3J-DT/VDR and apoptotic-related genes.
