Factors Derived From Escherichia Coli Nissle 1917, Grown in Different Growth Media, Enhance Cell Death in a Model of 5-Fluorouracil-Induced Caco-2 Intestinal Epithelial Cell Damage.

Factors Derived From Escherichia Coli Nissle 1917, Grown in Different Growth Media, Enhance Cell Death in a Model of 5-Fluorouracil-Induced Caco-2 Intestinal Epithelial Cell Damage. Nutr Cancer. 2015 Jan 27;:1-11 Authors: Wang H, Bastian SE, Lawrence A, Howarth GS Abstract We evaluated supernatants (SNs) from Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) grown in commonly used growth media for their capacity to affect the viability of Caco-2 colon cancer cells in the presence and absence of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy. EcN was grown in Luria-Bertani (LB), tryptone soya (TSB), Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS), and M17 broth supplemented with 10% (v/v) lactose solution (M17). Human Caco-2 colon cancer cells were treated with DMEM (control), growth media alone (LB, TSB, MRS, and M17) or EcN SNs derived from these 4 media, in the presence and absence of 5-FU. Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cell monolayer permeability were determined. EcN SN in LB medium reduced Caco-2 cell viability significantly, to 51% at 48 h. The combination of this EcN SN and 5-FU further reduced cell viability to 37% at 48 h, compared to 5-FU control. MRS broth and EcN SN in MRS, together with 5-FU, generated significantly lower levels of ROS compared to 5-FU control. However, all 5-FU treatments significantly disrupted the Caco-2 cell barrier compared to control; with no significant differences observed among any of the 5-FU treatments. EcN SNs (LB+) was ...
