Abstract
Background: Even after surgery, as the most effective treatment for colorectal cancer, about 30-40% of cases are recurring. Since growth inhibition is an important strategy in cancer treatment, many attempts are in the program to find new agents, so in this study, the cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of Lactobacillus sakei on colon cancer cell line (HT-29) and some pathogenic microorganisms have been evaluated. Lactobacillus sakei is a probiotic that, when consumed affects the intestinal flora, causes beneficial effects on host health. Probiotics due to their anti-cancer effects, modulation of the differentiation process in tumor cells, changes in tumor gene expression and lack of immunological responses have attracted a lot of attention as a new and effective treatment for colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Methods: In the present study, which was conducted experimentally from May to September 2018 in bacteriology and Cellular and Developmental Research Centers of Islamic Azad University, Shahrekord branch, the antimicrobial activity of supernatant of Lactobacillus sakei was assessed by Well Diffusion Agar (WDA) method against some pathogenic bacteria. HT-29 Colorectal adenocarcinoma cancer cells were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% bovine serum. The cells were treated in 5, 15, 10 and 20 mg/ml concentrations of sakei metabolites and incubated at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Cell growth was analyzed by celltiter 96® aqueous one solution cell proliferation assay kit to the manufacturer's protocol in all three incubation times.
Results: The results of this study indicate that sakei was able to produce antimicrobial metabolites against pathogenic bacteria. Besides, the results of the celltiter 96® aqueous one solution cell proliferation assay showed that the bioavailability of HT-29 cell lines decreased at all concentrations of sakei metabolites in a dose and time-dependent manner.
Conclusion: Since lactic acid probiotic bacteria can alter the metabolic activities of the intestinal microflora, attach to carcinogens and destroy them, prevent carcinogenesis such as ammonia and secondary bile acids, producing anti-cancer substances and creating an acidic state to inhibit the growth and proliferation of carcinogenic bacteria, It seems that there is a good research field for the use of bioactive compounds produced by Lactobacillus sakei in the control of bacterial pathogens and treatment of human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29).

Abstract
Background: Despite years of continuous research, maternal mortality due to preeclampsia is still a serious threat. Researchers believe that preeclampsia is a multifactorial disease and proposed many risk factors including immunological factors for it. Given the description of preeclampsia as an excessive response of the immune system, the relationship between preeclampsia and immunological changes is of particular importance. Genetic polymorphisms are considered to be one of the causes of immunological defects. Due to the role of immunologic and inflammatory factors in the etiology of preeclampsia, in the present study, the association of rs1028181-513T/C polymorphism of interleukin 19 gene with preeclampsia in the patient and control groups who were referred to Valiasr hospital in Kazerun, was compared.
Methods: The present case-control study was conducted at Islamic Azad University of Kazerun from December 2016 to May 2017. 150 preeclampsia patients and 150 healthy pregnant women who were referred to Valiasr hospital in Kazerun, were enrolled. Genotypes of participants for the -513T/C (rs1028181) variant were determined by the Tetra Primer ARMS-PCR method. SPSS software and Chi-square statistical test were used for data analysis.
Results: In the position of the -513T/C (rs1028181) polymorphism, a significant difference in frequency of all genotypes (CC, CT and TT) (P=0.001) and both alleles (C and T) (P=0.002) between preeclampsia pregnant women and healthy pregnant women was observed. There was no significant relationship between the other parameters of the study with the mentioned polymorphism in the patient and control groups.
Conclusion: Due to the significant relationship between (rs1028181) -513T/C polymorphism and the occurrence of preeclampsia, which emphasizes the role of genetic predisposition in the development of preeclampsia disease, the presence of this polymorphism can be considered as a predictor of preeclampsia and concluded that polymorphic genetic markers are good predictive strategies for early detection of preeclampsia before the twentieth week of pregnancy.
