The combined application of cis-cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) with antimicrobial proline-based 2,5-diketopiperazines significantly enhances anti-breast cancer activity by selectively targeting cancer stem cells
Proline-based cyclic dipeptides (CDPs) from lactic acid bacteria are stereochemically diverse molecules, possessing oral bioavailability and significant pharmacological potential. Herein, we developed a robust two-step ion-exchange purification platform to comprehensively isolate 16 structurally defined CDPs from 82-h culture filtrates (CFs) of Lactobacillus plantarum LBP-K10. Utilizing cation (Amberlite IRA-120) and anion (Amberlite IRA-67) exchange chromatography, we generated the K10-CCDP-IV fraction from 82-h acetate membrane-filtered CFs, followed by CH2Cl2 extraction to obtain K10-CCDP-IV-MC. Additional test agents included LBP-K10-CF (CH2Cl2-unextracted CF), LBP-K10-MC (CH2Cl2-extracted CF), and a single cis-cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro). LC-MS-linked HPLC-based time-course quantification revealed peaks in total CDP concentration at 82 h, with notable increases in fractions F6, F7, F12, F16, and F17. In vitro studies using MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells demonstrated that both K10-CCDP-IV-MC and LBP-K10-MC significantly suppressed cell proliferation by inducing G1-phase arrest and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, as evidenced by the increased expression of cytochrome c, cleaved caspase-3, and BAD, along with the downregulation of Bcl-2. Furthermore, both treatments inhibited cancer stem cell characteristics, including a reduction in the CD133+ subpopulation, repression of Oct4, and inhibition of sphere formation. In vivo, oral administration of LBP-K10-MC in xenograft-bearing SCID mice resulted in a significant reduction in tumor volume without systemic toxicity or adverse effects. These findings underscore the therapeutic relevance and preclinical validation of CDP-based consortia as orally deliverable, bioavailable, and multifunctional anticancer agents derived from a single probiotics. This supports their translational potential in dietary and therapeutic applications, offering a scalable, food-grade platform for the production of functional CDPs targeting breast cancer stemness.

Chemico-Biological Interactions publishes research reports and review articles that examine the molecular, cellular, and/or biochemical basis of toxicologically relevant outcomes. Special emphasis is placed on toxicological mechanisms associated with interactions between chemicals and biological systems. Outcomes may include all traditional endpoints caused by synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals, both in vivo and in vitro. Endpoints of interest include, but are not limited to carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, respiratory toxicology, neurotoxicology, reproductive and developmental toxicology, and immunotoxicology.
