Probiotic-derived p8 protein induce apoptosis via regulation of RNF152 in colorectal cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Accumulating evidence suggests that probiotics suppress the development of various cancers including CRC. Recently, we reported a Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LR)-derived 8 kDa protein (p8) that displayed anti-cancer properties in CRC cells. However, the precise anti-cancer mechanism of p8 and its target genes has not been fully examined. In the present study, we reveal that p8 leads to apoptotic cells and cleaved PARP1 expression in a mouse xenograft model of CRC. Additionally, we identified Ring finger protein 152 (RNF152) as a putative target of p8 using RNA-sequencing. Furthermore, the expression levels of RNF152 were increased following in vivo and in vitr
