Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most identified and deadly malignancies worldwide. It presents a serious challenge due to its quick growth, which finally culminates in severe malignancy. It is critical to improve the efficacy of berberine (BR) as an anticancer agent to overcome its limited bioavailability. Implementation of a novel, effective nanocarrier system of liponiosomes for BR (LipoNio.BR) can support mechanistic actions associated with its anti-CRC role. Following CRC induction in rats using 1,2 Dimethylhydrazine (40 mg DMH/kg/week), the potency and mechanistic actions of LipoNio.BR were assessed by evaluating the lesion severity and molecular mechanisms controlling oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammatory responses, and conducting histopathological and immunohistochemistry examinations of colonic tissues. The results indicated that the severity of clinical signs comprising weight gain loss, increased diarrhea and rectal bleeding, and reduced survivability were greatly restored in the LipoNio.BR-treated group. LipoNio.BR remarkably reduced CRC development compared to FBR (free berberine), as it induced apoptosis via upregulating apoptotic genes (Bax and caspase3, increased up to 7.89 and 6.25-fold, respectively) and downregulating the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 by 2.25-fold. LipoNio.BR mitigated the oxidative stress associated with CRC and maintained redox homeostasis. Notably, the excessive inflammatory response associated with CRC was prominently reduced following administration of LipoNio.BR [which decreased iterleukin (IL-B, IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), follistatin, and activin BA (beta-A) expression]. LipoNio.BR modulated the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which impacted tumor vascularity (decreased Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression by 2.36-fold). The severity of the histopathological alterations in the colonic tissues, including the development of neoplastic epithelium and the invasion of some neoplastic masses, was greatly reduced in the LipoNio.BR group compared to the FBR-(free berberine) administrated group. Following CRC induction, immunohistochemical staining revealed that the overexpression of cyclin and COX-2 in colonic tissues were suppressed in the LipoNio.BR group. Taken together, these findings suggest that LipoNio.BR has a potential role in reducing CRC progression to a greater extent compared to free BR and could be considered a promising and potent therapy against CRC.
