Outline of Final Research Achievements

Sulforaphane enhances apoptosis induced by Lactobacillus-stimulated PBMC in human colon cancer HCT116 cells and HT-29 cells. The apoptosis was considerably blocked by the pan-caspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk, which indicated that apoptosis was caspase-dependent in both colon cancer cells. Furthermore, TNFR/Fc chimera significantly at least partially inhibited the apoptosis in both colon cancer cells.
The expression of cIAP-2 was significantly up-regulated by the co-culture with Lactobacillus-stimulated PBMC in both colon cancer cells. Interestingly, sulforaphane treatment suppressed the induction of cIAP-2 by the co-culture, and restored the cIAP-2 expression to the normal level almost. These results showed the relationship of TNFα and cIAP-2 in the apoptosis by the combination.
