Bifidobacterium longum shows potential benefits
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum XZ01 delays the progression of colon cancer in mice through the interaction between the microbial spatial distribution and tumour immunity.
Moderate relevance to cancer therapy
We investigated whether Bifidobacterium longum XZ01 could affect the progression of colon cancer in a mouse model. The results hinted that this probiotic might enhance immune responses by outcompeting harmful bacteria and protecting macrophages within tumors.

Notably, XZ01 appears to foster a favorable tumor immune environment, promoting immune cell activation while inhibiting certain immune suppression. By interacting with microbial communities, this treatment shows promise for potentially improving colon cancer immunotherapy strategies.

More research is necessary to confirm these effects in humans, but these findings open doors to innovative cancer treatments.

Probiotics show promise against colorectal cancer
Analyzing of colorectal cancerrelated genes and microRNAs expression profiles in response to probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in colon cancer cell lines.
High relevance for cancer research
This study focused on how Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae might affect colorectal cancer cells. We discovered that these probiotics could effectively reduce the growth of cancer cells in two specific lines, HT29 and SW480.

Notably, the probiotics influenced the expression of key genes related to cell death and cancer growth, showing an upregulation of tumor-suppressing genes and microRNAs, while downregulating oncogenes. This suggests they could play a significant role in fighting colorectal cancer and contributing to prevention.

L. acidophilus shows promise against liver cancer
Lactobacillus acidophilus suppresses non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-associated hepatocellular carcinoma through producing valeric acid.
High relevance to liver cancer research.
We investigated whether Lactobacillus acidophilus can help prevent liver cancer associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD-HCC).

Our study involved various mouse models treated with a specific diet and liver cancer-inducing compounds.

We found that L. acidophilus significantly reduced the occurrence of NAFLD-HCC and inhibited the growth of cancer cells by producing a key metabolite called valeric acid.

This suggests that L. acidophilus may serve as a protective supplement against this type of cancer, improving liver health and function.

Strengthened immunity
I have used this for three years. It has significantly supported my immune system. After undergoing cancer surgery last year, I was the healthiest individual to visit the CTCA of America. I take various products for immune support, and this is one I cannot do without!

Lactobacillus acidophilus improves cancer therapy
Coupling Probiotics with CaO Nanoparticle-Loaded CoFeCe-LDH Nanosheets to Remodel the Tumor Microenvironment for Precise Chemodynamic Therapy.
Highly relevant cancer therapy method
We explored how lactobacillus acidophilus can enhance chemodynamic therapy for cancer. By coupling the probiotic with specialized nanosheets loaded with calcium oxide nanoparticles, we observed a notable reduction in tumor size.

This innovative approach led to a significant boost in hydroxyl radical production within the tumor microenvironment, resulting in a remarkable tumor inhibition rate of 96.4%.

The findings suggest that probiotics can help target tumors more effectively and improve treatment outcomes.

Lactobacillus acidophilus and cancer prevention
Effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Calcium, and Moringa oleifera leaves extract co-administration can prevent chemical-induced carcinogenesis.
Relevant cancer treatment findings
We explored the effects of combined treatments with Lactobacillus acidophilus, calcium citrate, and Moringa oleifera extract on colon cancer induced in rats. The study involved administering a carcinogen, DMH, while observing the impact of these treatments over a four-week period.

Results showed that the combined therapy significantly reduced markers of tumor initiation and improved liver histology. Importantly, these treatments maintained normal function in liver and kidney markers. This suggests that Lactobacillus acidophilus, along with calcium and Moringa, could play a promising role in cancer prevention.

Lactobacillus acidophilus shows promise
Expanding CYLD protein in NF-κβ/TNF-α signaling pathway in response to Lactobacillus acidophilus in non-metastatic rectal cancer patients.
Study shows strong relevance score
We explored the effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus on non-metastatic rectal cancer by studying its influence on the CYLD protein and signaling pathways. In a randomized trial involving 110 patients, those consuming L. acidophilus showed a significant increase in tumor-suppressing CYLD protein and related genes, alongside a decrease in inflammation-related factors compared to a placebo. Impressively, the probiotic group had a higher survival rate after five years. These findings suggest that L. acidophilus can positively influence cancer by modulating inflammatory pathways.
