L. gallinarum supernatant promotes apoptosis instead of cell cycle arrest in CRC cells. (A) LGCS significantly promoted apoptosis including both early and late phases in two CRC cell lines HCT116, and (B) LoVo, but not in the normal colonic epithelial cell line (C) NCM460. (D) The size and number of CRC patient-derived organoids was visually reduced in medium containing 10% LGCS. (E) LGCS significantly promoted apoptosis including both early and late phases in CRC patient-derived organoids. (F) LGCS had no effect on cell cycle distribution in HCT116, (G) LoVo and (H) NCM460. P values are calculated by one-way analysis of variance. **P<0.01, ****p<0.0001. BHI, brain heart infusion; CRC, colorectal cancer; ECCS, Escherichia coli culture supernatant; LGCS, Lactobacillus gallinarum culture supernatant; PI, propidium iodide.
