Abstract :

Inroduction & Objective: The use of chemical anti-cancer drugs frequently create serious side effects. However, probiotics are natural and treat different kinds of cancer without undesired effects. In this study, a nano delivery system was planned to transport the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (L. GG) cytoplasmic fraction (Cf) to cancerous tissue in the mouse model. Material and Methods: Magnetic iron nanoparticles (MINPs) were synthesized and loaded with L. GG-Cf (0, 0.312, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5 mg/ml) and administrated for three weeks to treat experimentally induced murine breast cancer in a constant magnetic field. At the end of the trial, the treating efficacy of this complex molecule was evaluated via western blotting and qPCR. Results: Results showed MINPS can deliver and accumulate the L. GG-Cf in cancer tissue, also the size and volume of the tumors were reduced. Additionally, in cancer tissues of treated mice with 2.5 mg/ml of Cf-MINPs significant induced apoptosis was seen compared to untreated (control), and our data proved that this induction may be due to the caspase-3 pathway. Conclusion: In conclusion, L. GG-Cf could treat the murine breast cancer and MINPs are a suitable candidate for drug delivery because of their safety, uniformity, and magnetic properties.
