Abstract

This video demonstrates an in vitro assay to study the anticancer effects of Lactobacillus cell-free supernatant (LCFS). Upon exposing colorectal cancer spheroids to varying doses of LCFS, the interaction with the bacterial metabolites in LCFS induces apoptosis in the cancer cells, disrupting the spheroid structure and leading to cell death in a dose-dependent manner.
Protocol
1. Bacterial cell cultures and preparation of Lactobacillus cell-free supernatant (LCFS) NOTE: Steps 1.2 – 1.9 are conducted in an anaerobic chamber. Prepare a De Man–Rogosa–Sharpe (MRS) agar plate and broth containing L-cysteine and sterilize by autoclaving. Pre-incubate the MRS agar plate in H2 anaerobic chamber maintained at 37 ˚C with 20 ppm oxygen. Thaw Lactobacillus bacte…
