  The use of probiotics as preventive agents in colorectal cancer is widely reported in the literature. However, the bioactivity of specific bacterial strains is only partially understood. Here, we identified Lactobacillus reuteri strains with anti-proliferative activity against colorectal cancer cells. We investigated the bioavailability and the efficacy of short chain fatty acids secreted by distinct Lactobacillus reuteri strains on the inhibition of colorectal cancer cells growth. Five L. reuteri strains were screened based on the short chain fatty acids bio-production and anti-proliferative effects on Caco-2 colon cancer cells. The composition of probiotic short chain fatty acids in cell culture conditioned medium was used to prepare short chain fatty acid synthetic formulations that were compared with the L. reuteri cell culture conditioned media. Later, the bio-stability of the ba.. View More»
