More Details: Abstract To study the effects of attenuated Salmonella typhimurium L forms on the in vivo tumorigenicity and apoptosis of murine epithelial ovarian cancer cells, as well as the related mechanisms. Attenuated Salmonella typhimurium VNP20009 was induced into bacterial L forms by using antibiotic ceftriaxone. CCK-8 cell proliferation assay showed that attenuated S. typhimurium L forms can inhibit the proliferation of murine ovarian epithelial cancer ID8 cells. Attenuated ST L forms can induce apoptosis and inhibit invasion ability of epithelial ovarian cancer cells in vitro. TUNEL assay showed that attenuated ST L forms can induce apoptosis of ID8 cells in murine ovarian tumors. Meanwhile, attenuated ST L forms inhibit tumor growth in murine ovarian tumors. The tumorigenicity-related proteins of xenograft tumors detected by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR assays showed that attenuated ST L forms can reduce the expression of proteins that promote tumor growth and metastasis, such as Lgals9 and MMP9. This study confirmed that attenuated ST L forms can suppress tumor growth and promote apoptosis in murine ovarian tumors. Attenuated ST L forms may serve as a novel biological agent for bacterial-mediated tumor therapy in epithelial ovarian cancer.
