Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, posing a serious public health challenge that necessitates the development of new therapeutics, therapies, and prevention methods. Among the various therapeutic approaches, interventions involving lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as probiotics and postbiotics have emerged as promising candidates for treating and preventing CRC. While human-isolated LAB strains are considered highly favorable, those sourced from environmental reservoirs such as dairy and fermented foods are also being recognized as potential sources for future therapeutics. Results: In this study, we present a novel and therapeutically promising strain, Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis Lc4, isolated from dairy sources. Lc4 demonstrated the ability to release the cytostatic agent - arginine deiminase (ADI) - into the post-cultivation supernatant when cultured under conditions mimicking the human gut environment. Released arginine deiminase was able to significantly reduce the growth of HT-29 and HCT116 cells due to the depletion of arginine, which led to decreased levels of c-Myc, reduced phosphorylation of p70-S6 kinase, and cell cycle arrest. The ADI release and cytostatic properties were strain-dependent, as was evident from comparison to other L. lactis ssp. lactis strains. Conclusion: For the first time, we unveil the anti-proliferative properties of the L. lactis cell-free supernatant (CFS), which are independent of bacteriocins or other small molecules. We demonstrate that ADI, derived from a dairy-Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) strain of L. lactis, exhibits anti-proliferative activity on cell lines with different levels of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1) expression. A unique feature of the Lc4 strain is also its capability to release ADI into the extracellular space. Taken together, we showcase L. lactis ADI and the Lc4 strain as promising, potential therapeutic agents with broad applicability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
